Analysis of concrete nuclear facilities, including determination of stresses
in concrete and rebar in shell/brick elements subjected to in-plane shear/membrane
forces and biaxial bending moments.
Able to modelize any structure inside
a nuclear plant such as:
- Generator pedestals.
-
Pipe support systems.
- Cable trays.
- Containment building.
- Pressure vessels.
