Content:
ocedures referenced in subsection 11.4 of SRP Section 3.8.1 are acceptable. e. The design report is found acceptable if it satisfies the guidelines contained in Appendix C to SRP Section 3.8.4. f. The structural audit is conducted as described in Appendix B to SRP Section 3.8.4. For determining the overturning moment due to an earthquake, the three components of the earthquake should be combined in accordance with methods described in SRP Section 3.7:2. Computer programs are acceptable if the validation provided is found in accordance with procedures deline- ated in subsection II.4.e of SRP Section 3.8.1. 5. Structural Acceptance Criteria For each of the loading combinations referenced in subsection 11.3 of this SRP Section, the allowable limits which constitute the acceptance criteria are referenced in subsection II.5 of SRP Section 3.8.1 for the containment foundation, and are listed in subsection II.5 of SRP Section 3.8.4 for all other foundations. In addition, for the five additional load combina- tions delineated in subsection II.3 of this SRP section, the factors of safety against overturning, sliding and floatation are acceptable if found in accordance with the following: Minimum Factors of Safety For Combination Overturning Sliding Floatation a. --------- ----------- 1.5 1.5 -- b. ---------------------- 1.5 1.5 -- c. . 1.1 1.1 d. ------------------------ 1.1 1.1 -- e. ------------------------ -- -- 1.1 6. Materials. Quality Control, and Special Construction Techniques For the containment foundation, the acceptance criteria for materials, quality control, and any special construction techniques are referenced in subsection II.6 of SRP Section 3.8.1. For all other-seismic Category I foundations, the acceptance criteria are similar to those referenced in subsection 11.6 of SRP Section 3.8.4. 7. Testing and Inservice Surveillance Requirements At present there are no special testing or in-service surveillance require- ments for seismic Category I foundations
