description The 1 : 8 model of turbo-generator vibration isolated foundation of common islands in nuclear plants was established for vibration characteristic tests and pseudodynamic experiments. The finite element model was established by SeismoStruct for time-history analysis. Frequencies, modal shapes and seismic responses, deformation curves, and spring deformations were compared and analyzed. Results from tests and experiments show that the natural frequencies of spring vibration isolation foundation are lower than those of common frame foundations and the vertical frequencies are far from the working disturbance frequency of the turbo-generator units. The spring vibration isolation device can reduce the acceleration response of the TG (turbo-generator) deck and redistribute the horizontal earthquake action of the foundation according to the stiffness to give full play to the seismic capacity of the columns. The errors of natural vibration frequencies and maximum seismic response are approximately 15% and 10%, respectively, and the simulation results are in good agreement with the test and experiment data. The proportion and distribution of spring deformation are close, and the test study shows the convenient and precise realization of the simulation. Results of seismic experiments and numerical simulations show that the foundation design meets the standard of the “Code for Seismic Design of Buildings” in China, which realizes the goal of spring vibration isolation and seismic resistance. The foundation design is also reasonable, safe, and reliable.
