Abstract This paper presents the use of a three-dimensional time domain boundary element method (BEM) in conjunction with adaptive cross approximation method (ACA) for dynamic analyses of the HTR-PM nuclear island foundation. The advantage of this approach is that only foundation of the HTR-PM nuclear island and limited surfaces of the supporting half-space soil medium are modeled and analyzed in a direct time stepping scheme. In addition, the ACA can compress the BEM coefficient matrices at each time step efficiently, therefore allowing larger models to be analyzed compared with conventional BEMs. In order to discretize the More >
