Abstract: In the modern society, more and more&nbsp;explosive accidents and explosive terror attacks have happended around the world. These explosions not &nbsp;only inflict heavy casualties and property loss, but also cause serious damage to related structures.The outer wall of the nuclear island plant of newly constructed nuclear power unit is usually designed as the steel concrete (SC) structure to prevent from explosion and aircraft collision. This paper selects the steel concrete structure wall composed of surface steel plate, stud, tie bar and concrete as the study object. It adopts classical explicit nonlinear dynamic analysis software ANSYS / LS-DYNA to conduct a series of parameter sensitivity analysis on the impact of explosion resistance of the steel concrete structure wall based on the conwep method. These parameters include: explosive equivalent, thickness of the steel plate, thickness and grade of the concrete, diameter and spacing of tie bars, etc. The analysis results indicate that the above mentioned parameters , especially the explosion equivalent, the thickness of the wall and the spacing of tie bars，affect the explosion resistance performance of the wall. This paper contributes to the guiding and referencing significance for the design and optimization of the steel concrete structure outer wall of nuclear island plant.Key words: sensitivity analysis, performance of explosion resistance, steel concrete structure, CONWEP method&nbsp;

2021 28th International Conference on Nuclear Engineering (ICONE28)

Supporting the need among researchers worldwide for additional online and multimedia content, ASME now offers the ASME Conference Video Collection. This platform will collect and provide long-term access to conference presentation videos, encompassing all technology areas within ASME's technical conference and events program. About 30,000-40,000 engineers across all mechanical engineering and related disciplines participate in ASME conferences each year. This includes authors of approximately 6,000 to 8,000 technical papers published by ASME, the majority of whom also submit video presentations for our virtual conferences. The video collection will be available as an add-on to existing product packages or as a separate subscription.
