A construction layout for caverns of an underground nuclear power plant, including: two primary caverns accommodating nuclear reactor powerhouses, electric powerhouse caverns, safe powerhouse caverns, auxiliary powerhouse caverns, nuclear fuel powerhouse caverns, connecting powerhouse caverns, a first primary traffic tunnel, a third primary traffic tunnel, a second primary traffic tunnel, a fourth primary traffic tunnel, and a primary steam channel. The electric powerhouse caverns, the safe powerhouse caverns, and the nuclear fuel powerhouse caverns are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the mountain. Each of the safe powerhouse caverns and each of the nuclear fuel powerhouse caverns are disposed on two sides of each of the two primary caverns in the longitudinal direction of the mountain, respectively. Each of the electric powerhouse caverns and each of the safe powerhouse caverns are located on a same side of each the two primary caverns.

The system for the calculation of the level of risk in the proximity of the excavation front of an underground work comprises a determination and storage unit for the determination of a plurality of basic parameters needed for the calculation of the level of risk in the proximity of the excavation front of the underground work, starting from a plurality of documents in electronic format, and for the structured storage of the basic parameters inside a database; a definition unit of a plurality of scenarios which could occur in the proximity of an excavation front of the underground work, starting from the basic parameters stored on the database; an application unit, for each of the scenarios generated during the definition phase, of predefined geo-mechanical and hydro-geological models, for the calculation of a series of possible embodiments for each scenario; an aggregation unit for the aggregation of punctual evaluations of the level of risk for each possible embodiment, to obtain a synthesis of the risk calculated in the proximity of the excavation front of the underground work.

A migration prevention system for radioactive wastewater from an underground nuclear power plant. The underground nuclear power plant includes a nuclear island including an underground cavern group including a reactor cavity and auxiliary cavities. The migration prevention system includes a protective layer coating the reactor cavity and an impermeable layer surrounding the nuclear island. The protective layer includes an inner liner, a drainage layer, and a filling layer of rock fractures in that order. The inner liner is configured to prevent exosmosis of the radioactive wastewater of the reactor cavity. The drainage layer is configured to gather and drain seepage water. The impermeable layer is disposed in the periphery of the underground cavern group including the reactor cavity and the auxiliary cavities, and is configured to isolate the underground cavern group from natural underground water.

A gasket for concrete structures such as tunnel segments includes a gasket body having a bottom face configured to be positioned against a surface of an associated tunnel segment. First and second anchor members protrude from opposed side edges of the gasket adjacent the bottom face of the gasket. The anchor members are configured to attach the gasket to the tunnel segment during casting of a precast concrete member. The gasket body forms a groove in the concrete member and the anchor members form side channels in the groove. Should a defect be found in the original gasket, the gasket body can be removed from the groove of the concrete member relatively easily, even in the field, and a replacement gasket having corresponding anchor members can be snapped into the groove.

A cast-in-place gasket construction for concrete structures such as tunnel segments includes a gasket body having a bottom face configured to be positioned against a surface of an associated tunnel segment. First and second gasket portions of the construction extend in different directions and are connected to each other at a first joint. The gasket portions are made of an elastomeric material having a first durometer on the Shore A hardness scale. The joint comprises an elastomeric material having a second and lesser durometer on the Shore A hardness scale. A method for replacing a damaged frame-like gasket construction is also disclosed.

The present disclosure discloses a self-reset flexible earthquake-resistant system of the prefabricated subway station, comprising prefabricated component prestressed tendon, waterproof rubber, and rubber bearing. The main structure of station is built by connection between prestressed tendon and prefabricated component, it changes the connection methods of connection node from consolidation joint to hinged joint which makes the subway station into a flexible system, while at the same time, self-reset function is realized by prestressed tendon; T and system is combined with rubber waterproof tape, and rubber bearing which is installed in connection site of prefabricated component, multi-protection measures of waterproof is realized, earthquake-resistant effect is also realized.
