dance by RG 1.142 for concrete structures and American National Standard Institute (ANSI)/ American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) N690-1994 including Supplement 2 (2004) for steel structures. The review includes the following areas: A. General assumptions on boundary conditions B. The expected behavior under loads and the methods by which vertical and lateral loads and forces are transmitted from the various elements to their supports and eventually to the foundation of the structure C. The computer programs that are used D. A design report on seismic Category I structures (Appendix C) E. Performance of a structural audit (Appendix B) F. Design of the spent fuel pool and racks (Appendix D) G. Steel embedments (reviewed on the basis of Appendix B to ACI 349, with additional criteria provided by RG 1.142 and RG 1.199) H. Dynamic soil pressures on earth retaining walls and embedded walls for nuclear power plant structures (Subsection II.4H of this SRP section) The review of the design and analysis procedures used for other structures that are important to safety (e.g., radwaste structure) are reviewed against applicable staff guidance (e.g., RG 1.143 for the radwaste structure). 5. Structural Acceptance Criteria. The review includes the design limits imposed on the various parameters that serve to quantify the structural behavior of each structure and its components, with specific attention to stresses, strains, gross deformations, and factors of safety against structural failure. For each load combination specified, the allowable limits are compared with the acceptable limits delineated in Subsection II.5 of this SRP section. 6. Materials, Quality Control, Special Construction Techniques, and Quality Assurance. The review covers information on the materials used in the construction of seismic Category I structures. Among the major materials of construction covered in the review are the concrete ingredients, the reinforcing bars and splices, and the structural
