From digital twin to advanced collapse studies: how to predict future behaviour for cooling towers
The 28 cooling towers of the French Nuclear Power Plants (NPP) fleet have been studied using a digital twin automated approach that allows a better understanding of their behaviour and includes on-site measurements such as settlement displacements and predicted corrosion as inputs in a linear Finite Element Model (FEM). Advanced simulations are then built upon this digital twin, providing a more precise simulation of the ultimate mechanical behaviour of the tower, with a non-linear FEM allowing steel and concrete damage. Finally, increasing wind load is applied until the structure reaches a near-collapse state, allowing us to conclude on the mechanical margin and the need for reinforcement.
