ASME Code and 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 proposed 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 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 and RG 1.136 (see Subsection II.3 of this SRP section). The following are among the major materials of construction reviewed: A. The concrete ingredients B. The reinforcing bars and splices 3.8.1-6 Revision 2 - March 2007 C. The prestressing system D. The liner plate E. The liner plate anchors and associated hardware F. The structural steel used for embedments such as beam seats and crane brackets G. The corrosion-retarding compounds used for the prestressing tendons The staff reviews the quality control program that is proposed for the fabrication and construction of the containment with emphasis on the extent of compliance with Articles CC-4000 and CC-5000 of the ASME Code and RG 1.136 (see Subsection II.3 of this SRP section). This includes examination of the materials, as well as tests to
