rt 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) 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 steel and anchors. The staff reviews the quality control parameters that are proposed for the fabrication and construction of Seismic Category I structures, including nondestructive examination of the materials to determine physical properties, placement of concrete, and erection tolerances. Special construction techniques, such as modular construction methods, if proposed, are reviewed on a case-by-case basis to determine their effects on the structural integrity of the completed structure. In addition, the applicant should provide the following information: A. The extent to which the materials and quality control programs comply to ACI 349, with additional criteria provided by RG 1.142 for concrete and ANSI/AISC N690-1994 including Supplement 2 (2004) for steel,
