| Description: | THE PROJECT INVESTIGATES THE SEISMIC BEHAVIOR OF CORRODED RC COLUMNS IN NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS (NPPS). GIVEN THE STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE OF NPPS, EVEN MINOR STRUCTURAL DEGRADATION REQUIRES ATTENTION. PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO SEVERE CONDITIONS WEAKENS RC STRUCTURES, MAKING THEM VULNERABLE TO EXTREME EVENTS LIKE EARTHQUAKES AND ACCIDENTS. THIS STUDY INCLUDES CYCLIC AND SHAKE TABLE TESTS ON CORRODED COLUMNS, ADDRESSING GAPS IN LITERATURE. EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS WILL BE COMPARED WITH EXISTING DATA AND USED TO CALIBRATE STOCHASTIC MODELS. THE PROJECT AIMS TO ENHANCE RISK ASSESSMENT AND MITIGATION STRATEGIES, ENSURING NPP STRUCTURAL SAFETY. |
