2017:19 Numerical simulations of headed anchors break in reinforced and non-reinforced concrete structures, Phase 2
Background In the design of anchorage equipment in concrete structures the beneficial effects of reinforcement are, in most cases, not considered. The American ASCI 349-06 code opens up for a more detailed analysis where the beneficial impact of reinforcement on anchor capacity can be taken into account. How this analysis can be done is, however, not explicitly described in the code. The...

2017:25 Evaluation of weld fatigue reduction in austenitic stainless steel pipe components
Background The performed investigation is a continuation of the work performed in SSM 2015:38 where fatigue tests were performed on pressurized welded austenitic stainless steel piping components. The specimens were subjected to a realistic variable amplitude loading with mainly reversed bending deformation and particular focus on high cycle fatigue. The previous fatigue results were quite...

2017:11 Extended Common Load Model: A tool for dependent failure modelling in highly redundant structures
Background The treatment of dependent failures is one of the most controversial subjects in reliability and risk analyses. The difficulties are specially underlined in the case of highly redundant systems, when the number of redundant components or trains exceeds four. The Common Load Model (CLM), originally defined in the 70’ies, differs from other CCF models, as it relies on a specific...

2014:30 Modelling Approaches to C-14 in Soil-Plant Systems and in Aquatic Environments
Substantial expertise on carbon biogeochemistry already exists in the fields of plant physiology and aquatic ecology and therefore is it beneficial to draw on this to identify the important issues. A paper describing the BIOPROTA C-14 model inter-comparisons, and plans for the forward programme was published in Radiocarbon Journal. Further studies on C-14 (including modelling, model...

2017:18 FEM analysis of the mechanical integrity for the canister intended for storage of spent nuclear fuel with regard to copper creep ductility
Background For final storage of spent nuclear fuel it is suggested by the Swedish nuclear fuel and waste management company (SKB) to emplace the nuclear fuel into copper canisters which are surrounded by bentonite clay at approximately 500 meters’ depth into granitic rock. After emplacement of the canisters Bentonite swelling due to water saturation and hydrostatic pressure build up the...

2017:02 Slow strain rate testing of copper in sulfide rich chloride containing deoxygenated water at 90 °C
Background Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) can occur in materials from the combined influence of tensile stress and a corrosive environment. It has previously been shown in the literature, that copper can be sensitive to SCC in the presence of sulfide containing water. Since both tensile stresses are present as well as a material were SCC can occur, SCC could potentially be a problem for the...

2017:28 SSM’s external experts’ review of SKB’s safety assessment SR-PSU - hydrogeology, geochemistry and bentonite
Background The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) received an application for the expansion of SKB's final repository for low and intermediate level waste at Forsmark (SFR) on the 19 December 2014. SSM is tasked with the review of the application and will issue a statement to the government who will decide on the matter. An important part of the application is SKB's assessment of...
