  1. CFAC Review Nick Simos, PhD, PE NSLS2 Ground Motion and Vibration Studies May 8, 2007

  2. OBJECTIVE Based on experience data (including measurements at operating facilities) integrated with large-scale, state-of-the-art computational models: • make the best possible estimate as to what the vibration levels will be once the NSLS II structure is placed on the “green-field” • assist in the optimization of the design of a “quiet” facility (treatment of in-house sources, disruption of vibration paths, structural interfaces, mat thicknesses, etc.)

  3. APPROACH • START by considering that conventional facilities in light sources are not “dead-weight” but rather a “living” element and an integral part of the beam-stability process • QUANTIFY the vibration criteria which key elements of the NSLS2 (ring and experimental lines) MUST meet • Establish the “green-field” conditions at the NSLS2 site • Make the link between the “green-field” and the NSLS2 infrastructure using • “experience” data • state-of-the-art computational methods (the only available tool)  and as a result • estimate vibration levels on the ring and experimental floor • identify structural provisions ensuring stability requirements

  4. NSLS2 Vibration Environment & Source Identification CFAC Review

  5. NSLS II Site Field Studies NSLS II Subsurface Characterization • Well-settled; stable sands (~870 ft/s Vs) • Water table ~ 30 ft below grade

  6. NSLS II Site Field Studies Using CFN Facility to help identify Cultural noise and filtering effects

  7. NSLS II “green-field” ground motion environment

  8. Comparison with other “green-field” sites Spring-8 free-field conditions are remarkably “quiet” due to rocky subsurface HOWEVER, as shown later, rock is both a blessing and a detriment

  9. Field Studies at Relevant Facilities • CFN • Same site conditions as well as natural ground motion and cultural vibration • Benchmarking of ground motion filtering (foundation interaction with ground motion) • APS & SPring-8 • Quantification of in-house generated noise • Effectiveness of noise-arrest schemes • Identification of “achieved” vibration levels for ring and experimental floor (including spatial variability)

  17. The challenge is to best estimate the transfer of the measured “green-field” ground motion Measured Free-field Vibration at NSLS2 site Resultant field dependent on type of waves arriving at site BNL site with deep sand  primarily RAYLEIGH Waves ?

  18. Qualitative assessment of ground motion filtering NSLS II structure neither RIGID nor simple TRUE interaction can only be established through detailed, comprehensive wave interaction analysis

  19. Computed Ground Motion Filtering Input Power Spectra = actual record from the NSLS II site Transfer Function H(w) = extracted from the wave propagation and scattering analysis Analysis computes transient response to white noise through the use of EXPLICIT formulation (allows large-scale problem solution) Primarily propagated motion Rayleigh waves

  32. SUMMARY • Field vibration studies confirmed that the stability limits set for NSLS II (<25 nm; 4-50 Hz) are satisfied by the selected site • Field studies at operating facilities have provided realistic levels of in-house generated vibration as well as motion attenuation characteristics • Studies at other facilities also provided a good understanding of what measures for noise suppression work and can be implemented into the design of NSLS II • The use of benchmarked, large-scale dynamic analysis models combined with data recorded at other facilities have provided a powerful tool for assessing the anticipated motion at the NSLS II experimental and ring floors • The combined computational model/actual noise data also provide the means to optimize • in-house noise suppression • ring and/or experimental floor thicknesses

  33. PATH FORWARD • Utilize the newly installed network of ground motion measuring stations to monitor both the long-term vibration stability of the site as well as its spatial variation • Expand the site vibration study to include slow ground motions (low frequency end of the spectrum) and assess their space and time coherence for the NSLS II site • Continue to fine-tune the large-scale vibration analysis models based on specific and NSLS II-related field tests as well as on data generated at similar operating facilities • Complete the optimization of the NSLS II ring and experimental floor thicknesses (especially parts of exp. floor with extra-sensitive beam lines) • Assess the effectiveness of noise suppression features for implementation and integration into the final NSLS II design
