Content:
J. Ultimate capacity of the concrete containment K. Structural audit L. Design report submitted for review 5. Structural Acceptance Criteria. The staff reviews the design limits imposed on the various parameters that quantify the structural behavior of the containment, with emphasis on the extent of compliance with Article CC-3000 of the ASME Code with addtional guidance provided by RG 1.136 (see Subsection II.3 of this SRP section), specifically with respect to allowable stresses, strains, deformations, and other parameters that quantify the margins of safety. For each load combination specified, the reviewer compares the allowable limits with the acceptable limits delineated in Subsection II.5 of this SRP section. These allowable limits include the following major parameters: A. Compressive stresses in concrete, including membrane, membrane plus bending, and localized stresses B. Shear stresses in concrete, particularly those tangential (membrane) stresses induced by lateral loads 3.8.1-6 Revision 4 - September 2013 C. Tensile stresses in reinforcement D. Tensile stresses in prestressing tendons E. Tensile or compressive strain limits in the liner plate, including membrane and membrane plus bending F. Force/displacement limits in the liner plate anchors, including those induced by strains in the adjacent concrete 6. Materials, Quality Control, and Special Construction Techniques. The staff reviews the information provided on materials that are used in construction of the containment with emphasis on the extent of compliance with Article CC-2000 of the ASME Code, with additional guidance provided by RG 1.136 (see Subsection II.3 of this SRP section). The following are among the major materials of construction reviewed: A. Concrete ingredients B. Reinforcing bars and splices C. Prestressing system D. Liner plate E. Liner plate anchors and associated hardware F. Structural steel used for embedments such as beam seats and crane brackets G. Corrosion-retarding
