Popis: A sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR) considers adopting 3-dimensional seismic isolation devices for withstanding seismic loads not only horizontal but also vertical direction. A seismic isolation device consists of a laminated rubber bearing and horizontal oil dampers for horizontal direction, coned disc springs and vertical oil dampers for vertical direction, respectively. And also, in order to make horizontal and vertical motion independent, sliding elements are adopted. In order to investigate the performance of each component and the feasibility of integrated system for SFR, the experiments such as load-displacement tests, vibrating tests, etc., to each component of seismic isolation devices and seismic response analysis are carried out. As those experimental results, the mechanical characteristics of each component and the devices are grasped, then it is demonstrated that components and devices have expected performances to reduce the seismic loading within the design range. As the analytical results of seismic response, it is indicated that this 3-dimesional seismic isolation device and system can reduce the seismic response on horizontal and vertical simultaneously. Based on the analytical studies and experimental results, the feasibility of newly developed 3-dimensional seismic isolation system is obtained and the prospect of practical application of 3D seismic isolation system for fast reactor is implied in this paper.
