The deformation and damage behaviour of damping concrete under impact loading conditions is investigated experimentally and numerically. The material model is based on the assumption of crushable foam with volumetric or isotropic hardening combined with ductile and shear damage criteria. Model parameters are determined in static and dynamic compression tests of confined cubic specimens. The derived material model is validated by numerical simulation of penetration tests. The static and dynamic penetration of indenters into uniform as well as assembled bricks made of damping concrete is discussed. Finally, the successful calculation of a large-scale drop test with a heavy cask-like test object onto a realistic damping concrete foundation is demonstrated.
Since the decision by the German government to face out nuclear electricity generation the total amount of spent nuclear fuel and high level wastes from reprocessing is limited and well determined. In addition the siting and licensing procedure to establish a final repository has been ruled by a new law in the mid of 2013 and further delays are very likely until a deep geological repository may start its operation.
In the meantime dry interim storage in dual purpose casks being permanently certified for interim storage as well as transportation is the established technical solution. Several on-site as well former centralized facilities are operated successfully for many years but storage licenses are generally limited to 40 years and future lifetime extensions are predictable. Permanent aging management for storage facilities and casks is necessary to demonstrate compliance with safety requirements and furthermore to gain relevant data and information about the technical conditions of the facilities and their components for future lifetime extensions.
For that reason procedures and measures are currently improved and the approach is explained in this paper. In addition, the current status and latest experiences concerning periodic safety inspections and aging management measures are discussed.
