• <b>Role: </b>Project Trainee
• <b>Responsibilities: </b>Investigated an alternative radiation shielding approach using precast concrete blocks to address thermal and structural limitations of mass concrete walls. Conducted thermal gradient analysis in ANSYS and performed seismic analysis in LS-DYNA using real earthquake data from Tarapur. The study assessed the role of self-weight and friction in seismic resistance, highlighting the necessity of interlocking systems and optimized geometries for improved stability.
