Abstract

In this study, a hydro-mechanical-damage coupled analysis model was developed to evaluate the structural safety of radioactive waste disposal structures. The Mazars damage model, widely used to model the fracture behavior of brittle materials such as rocks or concrete, was coupled with conventional hydro-mechanical analysis and the developed model was verified via theoretical solutions from literature. To derive the numerical input values for damage-coupled analysis, uniaxial compressive strength and Brazilian tensile strength tests were performed on concrete samples made using the mix ratio of the disposal concrete silo cured under dry and saturated conditions. The input factors derived from the laboratory-scale experiments were applied to a two-dimensional finite element model of the concrete silos at the Wolseong Nuclear Environmental Management Center in Gyeongju and numerical analysis was conducted to analyze the effects of damage consideration, analysis technique, and waste loading conditions. The hydro-mechanical-damage coupled model developed in this study will be applied to the long-term behavior and stability analysis of deep geological repositories for high-level radioactive waste disposal.

본 연구에서는 방사성폐기물 처분구조물의 안전성 및 건전성 평가를 위해 손상연동 수리-역학 복합 거동 해석 모델을 개발하였다. 콘크리트나 암반과 같은 취성재료의 파괴 모사에 널리 사용되는 Mazars 손상 모델을 선정하여 수리-역학 해석에 연동하였고, 예제 및 정해를 기반으로 개발된 해석 모델을 검증하였다. 개발된 해석 모델의 손상 입력 인자를 도출하기 위해 처분구조물 콘크리트 배합비로 제작한 시료를 대상으로 건조/포화 양생 조건에서 일축압축강도 및 간접인장강도 시험을 수행하였다. 실내 시험을 통해 도출한 입력 인자는 경주 월성 원자력 환경관리센터의 동굴처분 콘크리트 사일로를 모사한 2차원 유한요소해석에 적용하여 손상 고려 유무, 해석 기법 및 폐기물 하중 재하 조건에 따른 영향을 분석하였다. 연구를 통해 개발된 수리-역학-손상 모델은 향후 고준위 방사성폐기물 처분을 위한 심층처분장의 장기 거동 및 안정성 해석에 적용할 계획이다.
