Video Documentary: Elastic Support & Damping Systems in Gösgen Nuclear Power Plant
The Gösgen Nuclear Power Plant in Switzerland provides a good example of long-term use of elastic support and damping systems for various key components in nuclear power generating plants.
During the operation of machines such as turbines, pumps and other rotating equipment, disturbing vibrations can affect other parts in the nuclear power plant. Vibration isolation technologies suppress these disturbing effects and can be installed as elastic support systems. These technologies can also be integrated for special protection of the installed safety systems to protect from external loads such as earthquakes, aircraft impact scenarios or the risk of possible foundation settlements.
Together with the team in Gösgen, we took a look at the elastic support systems that have been installed over the past decades and representatives of the operator gave some statements about their corresponding experience.
Mixed-use building complex in Aachen
A vibration-isolated mixed-use complex in the immediate vicinity of Aachen Central Station, Germany.
Spread over five buildings and almost 25,000 m², people will live, work and shop here in the near future. A common base at ground floor is intended for retail and gastronomy. In the two centrally located, six-storey buildings, 300 high-quality, furnished student apartments as well as a fitness area, a cinema and a bicycle parking garage are being built. A glass staircase connects the houses with each other. Towards the train station there are two eight- and six-storey office buildings with a total of 6,000 m² floor space.
Seismic Control of a Steam Turbine Foundation
Elastic support of JPL power plant turbine in Seoni, India.
The site is located near village Barela -Gorakhpur, Tehsil Ghansore of Seoni District. JPL currently has 600 MW thermal capacity fully operational and 660 MW under implementation. The plant is generating power on commercial basis. With a total mass of about 28,750 tons, the turbine house of this power station is approx. 95 m long, 46 m wide and 39-m high.
In 2010, GERB was consulted by the operator of the power plant directly and asked for a vibration control solution. We started supporting the owner as well as the structural designer already at an early project phase. Particular focus was placed on the high earthquake input to be taken into account. Starting with our explanations of similar projects, there were intensive consultations with the project participants about possible optimization of the turbine building. In addition to developing project-specific spring and damper elements, the substructure underneath the elastic support system was discussed in detail.
医院的抗震改建
医院等重要基础设施必须要有抗震措施
罗马尼亚的斯洛博齐亚市位于布加勒斯特以东 120 公里，是雅洛米察县的首府。该地区经常发生小到中度地震。仅在 2020 年，雅洛米察县就发生了 9 次地震。早在 2007 年，这家为 25 万多人提供医疗服务的医院就已需要进行抗震升级。
