Nonlinear Seismic Response Characteristics of CAP1400 Nuclear Island Structure on Soft Rock Sites by Furong Li, Guoxing Chen

“…The results suggested that the increasing amplitude of the peak acceleration and relative displacement of nuclear island structure decreased as the soft rock site entered a nonlinear state, and the high-frequency components of the input ground motion became more abundant. Specifically, the earthquake response was the largest at the cooling water tank on the top of the shield building, which was the focus of the seismic research on nuclear island structure. …”
