Structural and constructional problems in prestressed concrete reactor pressure vessels
Prestressed concrete pressure vessels for nuclear reactors differ essentially from other civil engineering structures, namely in relation to their extraordinary dimensions and stress conditions and different components. These peculiarities involve a series of structural and constructional problems. The voluminous dimensions and high demands on the quality of prestressed concrete pressure vessles raise the questions of specifying the optimum concrete quality and of the concreting units to important aspects. The orderly placement and compaction of concrete underneath the almost horizontal base of the liner leads to special technical difficulties. Some solutions pertaining to these problems are discussed.
