Abstract

This report is the culmination of an extensive experimental and analytical investigation of the loading response of PCRV head regions conducted by the University of Illinois under the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Program of Prestressed Concrete Nuclear Pressure Vessel Development (189a 01331). The studies undertaken under this task area were unique relative to other portions of the program owing to the complex geometries and states of stress encountered in the PCRV head region. The findings will be integrated into the other program task areas for analysis methods development and structural model testing.
