To minimize potential damages during the handling of casks, a so called damping concrete is frequently used for the footings in interim nuclear facilities. It obtains its shock absorbing properties through admixing of polymer cells. For a comprehensive mechanical evaluation of casks, advanced material models are also needed for damping concrete. In order to characterize the mechanical properties and to develop numerical material models, penetration tests were carried out at different test facilities of BAM. The tests contain dynamic penetration tests on mortared specimens with a size of 2,400 x 2,400 x 500 mm³. For these model-sized penetration tests indenters with different geometries and diameters were used. Subsequently a cylindrical cast-iron indenter with a diameter of 1.100 mm was dropped of 5 m height on a realistic damping concrete footing.

An accidental scenario in German interim storage facilities is the drop from a crane during the handling operation. To reduce the mechanical loads to the cask a shock absorbing footing with high energy absorption capability is used in these areas. In order to analyse and evaluate such impact scenarios of casks, numerical simulations are performed. For a comprehensive simulation of an accidental scenario the behaviour of the damping concrete footing has to be taken into account as well and therefor a material model is needed. Material parameters under different loading conditions are the basis for a numerical model. For that reason a government funded research project (Kasparek, 2012) was conducted to characterise damping concrete under quasi-static as well as highly dynamic impact loading conditions. The performed tests include compression tests with and without lateral constraint small-scale and midscale penetration tests with different indenters, and finally a full-scale drop test onto a damping concrete footing.

The results have shown that the target specifications in the acceptance criteria have to be defined more accurately to get reproducible test results with high precision. Hence, a suitable test stand foundation was developed with much effort. The integrity of the upper concrete layer of this target must be preserved during a test. Recently the geometrical properties of a tested cubic cast iron container led to a concentration of the impact forces beneath the container walls. The target was damaged strongly with the consequence of inadmissible reduction of cask stresses. For that reason the target construction was modified. However, the basic design was not changed. A prefabricated concrete slab was still joined by a mortar layer to the IAEA target of the BAM drop test facility. In the course of the optimization of the test stand foundation the concrete slab dimensions and the reinforcement were enlarged. During the drop test repetition the target kept intact. Additionally, the mechanical behavior of the cast iron container and the target was analyzed by finite element calculations. This improved target construction is suggested as a reference target for drop tests with casks whose mass and base area are covered by the container types VI or VII respectively according to the KONRAD repository acceptance criteria. The measurements during the drop tests with cast iron casks have provided the strains on the cask surface at selected positions. This allows the verification of finite element simulations of drop tests which show the stress distribution also inside the component. In September 2008 a drop test was carried out with a cylindrical cast iron cask containing an artificial material defect which was designed under consideration of critical stress states in the cask body. This drop test could demonstrate the safety against failure by fracture of a cask made of a special cast iron with reduced fracture toughness.

Unter den hochdynamischen Beanspruchungsbedingungen der nicht mit Stoßdämpfern ausgerüsteten Behälter liegt die Bruchzähigkeit um mehr als die Hälfte unter dem Mindestwert für die bisher genehmigten Werkstoffqualitäten, was eine Anpassung der sicherheitstechnischen Bewertungsmethoden für Behälter aus Gusseisen mit Kugelgraphit an den neuen Werkstoff erfordert. Im ersten Teil des Projektes EBER wurden dazu die Grundlagen erarbeitet. In diesem zweiten Teil wird die Beanspruchungsanalyse der Behälter weiter vervollkommnet. Die Werkstoffdämpfung wird mittels einer Analyse der Ausbreitung von Spannungswellen im Gusseisen berechnet. Die Behälterstruktur wird genauer als bei den bisherigen Berechnungen in den Modellen abgebildet. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Weiterentwicklung des sicherheitstechnischen Bewertungskonzeptes. Zur Bewertung von rissartigen Werkstofffehlern in geometrisch komplexen Behälterpartien wurden statische und dynamische bruchmechanische nu- merische Berechnungen eines Risses in einer Hohlkehle und in der Mitte einer Behälterwand durchgeführt. Die Berechnungsergebnisse wurden für spezielle Anwendungsfälle verifiziert, für die bereits Lösungen bekannt sind. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse wurden in einfach zu handhabende Bewertungsdiagramme umgesetzt. Das sicherheitstechnische Bewertungskonzept wurde schließlich bei einem Fallversuch mit einem rissbehafteten Prototypbehälter definierter Werkstoffqualität überprüft. Eine Minderung der Beanspruchung infolge konstruktiver Verbesserungen (größere Hohlkehlen, Bodenleiste) durch den Behälterkonstrukteur konnte dabei bestätigt werden.

A formula for the stress intensity factor of a crack in a fillet with a radius from 20 to 200 mm under static load conditions is given. From that, an assessment diagram is derived for the critical depth of a crack in a fillet. The formula may be used to estimate the stress intensity factor of a dynamically loaded crack for special cases. As an application the results of the estimation procedure are compared with the results of a dynamic finite element calculation.
