Abstract
The potential failure mechanisms in LWR steel containment buildings subject to quasi-static pressurization and elevated temperature are identified. For each failure mechanism, the relevant structural response measures are discussed. For mechanisms involving leakage, the importance of seal performance is also discussed. Criteria that can be used to evaluate threshold environments are presented for several failure mechanisms. Results of tests on scale models and seal tests that support the criteria are referenced.
