Xie, Wei-Chau, 1964-
Seismic risk analysis of nuclear power plants / Wei-Chau Xie, Shun-Hao Ni, Wei Liu, Wei Jiang. - 1 online resource (xvii, 611 pages)
Introduction -- Engineering seismology -- Basics of random processes and structural dynamics -- Seismic response spectra -- Seismic hazardanalysis -- Ground motions for seismic analysis -- Modeling of structures -- Floor response spectra -- Seismicfragility analysis -- Seismic probabilistic safety assessment.
Seismic Risk Analysis of Nuclear Power Plants addresses the needs of graduate students in engineering, practicing engineers in industry, and regulators in government agencies, presenting the entire process of seismic risk analysis in a clear, logical, and concise manner. It offers a systematic and comprehensive introduction to seismic risk analysis of critical engineering structures focusing on nuclear power plants, with a balance between theory and applications, and includes the latest advances in research. It is suitable as a graduate-level textbook, for self-study, or as a reference book. Various aspects of seismic risk analysis - from seismic hazard, demand, and fragility analyses to seismic risk quantification, are discussed, with detailed step-by-step analysis of specific engineering examples. It presents a wide range of topics essential for understanding and performing seismic risk analysis, including engineering seismology, probability theory and random processes, digital signal processing, structural dynamics, random vibration, and engineering risk and reliability.
