Abstract In the plant structures including nuclear power plants, penetrations are frequently installed in walls and slabs to reinforce facilitiesduring operation, and reinforcing bars are sometimes cut off during concrete coring. Since these penetrations are not considered at thedesign or construction stage, cutting of reinforcing bar during opening installation is actually damage to the structure, structuralintegrity evaluation considering the stress transition range or effective width around the new penetration is necessary. In this study,various nonlinear analyses and static loading experiments are performed to evaluate the effect of reinforcing bar cutting that occurswhen a penetration is newly installed in the shear wall of wall-type building of operating nuclear power plant. In addition, the decreasein wall stiffness due to the installed new penetration and cutting of reinforcing bars is evaluated and the stress and strain distributionsof rebars around penetration are also measured.
