Abstract

Pretest predictions have been previously made and reported by the Engineering Mechanics Program of the Reactor Analysis and Safety Division for the response of the one sixth scale reinforced concrete model tested by Sandia National Laboratories in July 1987. A series of axisymmetric models were studied with the two-dimensional computer program TEMP-STRESS. This report describes the comparison between the pretest predictions and the experimental results; a post-test analysis with a precracked concrete model is also compared to the pretest predictions and the experimental results. The post-test analysis is in excellent agreement with the experimental results. Explanations are given for the apparent precracked state of the containment vessel.
