REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Structural Engineering Branch (SEB)Civil Engineering and Geosciences Branch (ECGB)1 Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW The following areas relating to the design of seismic Category I structures to withstand the effects of the flood or highest ground water specified for the plant are reviewed. 1. The design parameters of the flood or highest groundwater are reviewed from the standpoint of use in defining the input parameters for the structural design criteria appropriate to account for flood and groundwater loadings. Further, for plants where the flood level is higher than the proposed grade around the plant structures, the dynamic phenomena associated with such a flooding such as currents, wind waves, and their hydrodynamic effects, are similarly reviewed. The bases for these parameters are within the review responsibility of the Hydrologic & Geotechnical Engineering Branch (HGEB) as stated in Standard Review Plan Section 2.4.2.2 2. The analysis procedures that are utilized to transform the static and dynamic effects of 3 the flood and highest groundwater into effective loads applied to seismic Category I structures are reviewed. An applicant for a standard design certification may postulate values for site parameters as a basis for plant design.4 DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 3.4.2-2 Review Interfaces The ECGB performs the following reviews as part of its primary review responsibility under the SRP sections indicated:5 a. The design parameters for the design basis flood or highest ground water level, for 6 establishing the dynamic effects of the flood where it is above the plant grade, and for the bases for determining these site-related and hydrodynamic parameters, are established by the Hydrologic & Geotechnical Engineering Branch (HGEB) by ECGB as part of its 7 primary review responsibility for SRP Section 2.4.2.8 b. ECGB reviews groundwater data to determine the highest groundwater levels as part of its primary review
