Study on reactor building structure using ultrahigh strength materials Original Research Article

This study was promoted to realize the optimal nuclear reactor building structure of the future. As the first step, the study regarding ultrahigh strength reinforced-concrete (RC) shear walls was positively verified. The tests conducted were relevant to ultrahigh strength concrete material tests, pure shear tests of RC flat panels, bending shear tests and simulation analyses of RC shear walls, S-joint tests and mixed-structure tests. From the results of this study, it was verified that mixed structures using ultrahigh strength material can be realized.
