Abstract:
Recently, the third revesion of Standard Review Plan for the review of safety analysis reports for nuclear power plants (SRP Rev.3) issued by U. S.A NRC in 2007 has been translated and published by Beijing Review Center of Nuclear Safety, which states clearly National Nuclear Security Administration will carry out the most rigorous international standards in safety review of nuclear projects. In this investigation we studied the different versions of Seismic System Analysis SRP 3.7.2 in 1989, 2007 and 2013, combined with the past practical experiences of nuclear seismic analysis, then concluded the technical explanation and reviews according to the acceptance criteria of each standard clause. The results shown that the 2013 version of SRP was clearer in concept and more perfect in operation. This work provides good guidance for seismic system analysis of NPPs.

Abstract:
The frequent changes of coal calorific value seriously affect the characteristics and efficiency of direct air-cooling unit. Source instability of coal in thermal power plant and difficulty in getting the actual calorific value of coal real-time and accuracy brings great difficulties for the design of unit coordinated control system.Therefore, A model-based fuel BTU correction method for direct air-cooling unit. is studied. The ratio between the actual value of the unit load and the forecast load of the unit model is used to reflect the relationship between the calorific value of the actual coal and design of calorific value of coal. Therefore, the fuel quantity entering the boiler is corrected in real time and the influence of coal calorific value variation on the unit coordinated control system is eliminated. Through simulation experiment and actual data validation, the coordination control system has good control quality in the case of frequent coal calorific value fluctuation and there is no effect when coal calorific value is stable. What's more, the obtained BTU correction coefficient is not affected by the input signal of model, which can accurately reflect the actual coal calorific value changes in real time. This method is feasible and effective and it can be adapted to the frequent changes of coal quality in the field.

Analytical Analysis and Practice of Two-segment Variable Diameter Pile
Xiyang HE, Leijing ZHOU, Yunxia HU
2016, 3(4): 88-91,101. doi: 10.16516/j.gedi.issn2095-8676.2016.04.018
Abstract:
The internal force and displacement of piles under horizontal load are calculated, and the m method is recommended for the design of pile foundation. The disadvantage of m method is that the stiffness of the soil is very far from the assumption that the soil is replaced by the soil in the region near the cap when the horizontal bearing capacity of the piles is significantly increased. In this paper, 2K method is used to analyze the internal force and deformation of piles under horizontal load, and the two lateral spring stiffness of the soil. The application of 2K method in engineering is widely: the pile foundation near the soil for filling or reinforcement, the larger diameter of the pile body, the upper part of the pile body is set to increase, the pile foundation displacement will be reduced, and the pile's bearing capacity can be improved, and the internal force of pile can be calculated, It can be more accurate to consider its effect on the pile top, the horizontal bearing capacity of piles, the pile bending moment of the pile top, the bending moment of piles, the pile bending moment, the pile body bending moment, the pile body bending moment, and the pile foundation design. If the pile is built into the calculation model, the four stiffness parameters can be obtained by this method, and it can save the large degree of freedom of the pile modeling and its internal unit. The model is more easy to maintain, and this is an important milestone in the development of integrated modeling.

2016, 3(4): 92-95. doi: 10.16516/j.gedi.issn2095-8676.2016.04.019
Abstract:
A rapid error checking method of geological model in civil engineering is proposed based on hexahedral finite elements. Firstly the node and element index information of each unit is split into six space surfaces, then it is divided into common surface element and special surface element, by means of the coordinates of nodes and topological relation errors is self-checking and all special surface element is written to AutoCAD by 3DFACE in order to locate the errors. The case analysis shows that the method is in high efficiency, which can make the model errors appearing at the same time, then help to modify the geometry location in numerical model. This method can cost little time and avoid the calculation distortion caused by improper connection results, and is a effective tool for pretreatment of continuous numerical simulation.

Abstract:
Soft clay is mainly composed of tiny-particle. Its physical and mechanical properties are closely related to specific surface area (SSA for short). Therefore, SSA test of soft clay is helpful for analyzing its physical and mechanical properties. EGME method and BET method are adopted to carry tests on bentonite, kaolinite, quartz, feldspar and their mixtures, Shenzhen soil and Kuwait soil. The results show that the mineral type has great influence on SSA; the SSA of Shenzhen soil is smaller than Kuwait soil; total and external SSA of samples can be measured respectively by EGME and BET method. The SSA tests in this paper possess great reference significance for understanding of physical mechanism that influences the physical and mechanical properties in soft clay.

2016, 3(4): 113-118. doi: 10.16516/j.gedi.issn2095-8676.2016.04.023
Abstract:
Reanalysis dataset MERRA is used to analysis the characteristics of wind direction in Guangdong offshore from 1991 to 2010. A theoretical model of offshore wind farm with 20 wind turbine generators of 4MW and regular layout is employed to finish numerical experiments for the effects of wind direction on layout optimization, including seasonal variation, sector division and fluctuation in frequency distribution. Four different types of layouts are then compared and results show that parallelogram layout is more flexible than rectangular layout. Besides, layout orientating optimization needs more than 16 sectors in wind direction division. Different orientation and type of layouts are sensitive to fluctuation and distortion of wind direction frequency distribution. Therefore, the sensitivity tests with dynamic distribution model are crucial to determine the robustness of recommended layout.
