LUSAS used to prove nuclear safety case at Devonport Royal Dockyard The Consultancy Services department at LUSAS worked in partnership with Babtie Group on the nonlinear dynamic analysis of a variety of major structures. The seismic quali?cation analysis was required as part of the multi-million pound modernisation programme of nuclear submarine re?t facilities for DML at Devonport Royal Dockyard. As part of the work, nonlinear dynamic analysis with LUSAS Civil & Structural was carried out to predict the stability andstructural integrity of massive cellular, reinforced concrete caissons at numbers 9, 10, 14 and 15 docks during a severe seismic event. These multi-celled gravity structures are used to seal-o? the open ends of dry-docks. After construction, each caisson is ?oated into place
