s for determining such dynamic loads are acceptable if they are in accordance with or equivalent to those delineated in the U.S. Army Coastal Engineering Research Center, “Shore Protection Manual” (Vol. I, June 2002, reprinted from 1973 edition and Vol. II, June 2002, reprinted from 1973 edition) or in EM 1110-2-1100, Coastal Engineering Manual, Part II, Chapter 1, “Water Wave Mechanics,” U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, April 30, 2002 as applicable. Any other methods proposed should be provided with adequate justification and are reviewed on a case by case basis. Technical Rationale The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria to the areas of review addressed by this SRP section is discussed in the following paragraphs: GDC 2 requires that structures important to safety shall be designed to withstand the effects of natural phenomena such as floods, tsunamis, and seiches without loss of capability to perform their safety function. GDC 2 also requires that the design basis for these SSCs shall reflect appropriate consideration of the most severe of the natural phenomena that has been historically reported for the site and surrounding area, with sufficient margin for the limited accuracy. This includes that the effects of the highest groundwater condition need to be considered. This SRP guides the review of analysis procedures for the determination of static and dynamic loadings due to natural flooding phenomena. These loadings are to be used in the design of SSCs important to safety in order to ensure their capability to withstand flood effects without loss of their safety functions. Meeting this requirement provides a level of assurance that plant structures are constructed in such a manner as to withstand stresses resulting from the most severe flooding condition they may experience.
