State-of-the-art reference and guide to the future research and design of infrastructure systems for nuclear energy
Following a period of decline in the nuclear industry, it is now entering a period of strong recovery and represents a fast-emerging field of research. Coupled with the great progress that has been made in the seismic design of concrete structures, there are many new developments in the field. Infrastructure Systems for Nuclear Energy summarizes this progress with an up-to-date reference to guide the future research and design of infrastructure systems for nuclear energy. Authored by globally diverse and world-leading academics, this book constitutes an invaluable resource for practicing engineers who need authoritative guidance in their design practices beyond the standard codes and textbooks, for researchers who want to know where the future lies, and for academics who want to know the state-of-the-art, as well as the future.
Sections include Introduction to Nuclear Energy, Analysis of Containment Structures, New Design Concept for Containment Structures, Applicable Computer Software for Containment Structures, Nuclear Waste Storage Facilities, The Future of Nuclear Power Plants.
- Authored by globally diverse world-leading researchers from both academia and industry
- Invaluable resource offering authoritative guidance in design practices beyond the standard codes and textbooks, applicable to nuclear, civil and earthquake engineers
- Presents the state-of-the-art as well as the future direction for nuclear civil infrastructure systems.
Essential reading for Practising engineers & researchers in civil & earthquake engineering and Mechanical Engineers.
