Content:
he various parameters that serve to quantify the structural behavior of the various interior structures of the containment are reviewed, specifically 3.8.3-13 DRAFT Rev. 2 - April 1996 with respect to stresses, strains, deformations, and factors of safety against structural failure, with emphasis on the extent of compliance with the applicable codes as indicated in subsection I.3 of this SRP section. 6. Materials, Quality Control, and Special Construction Techniques Information provided on the materials that are used in the construction of the containment internal structures is reviewed. Among the major materials of construction that are reviewed are the concrete ingredients, reinforcing bars and splicers, and structural steel and various supports and anchors. The quality control program that is proposed for the fabrication and construction of the containment interior structures is reviewed, including nondestructive examination of the materials to determine physical properties, placement of concrete, and erection tolerances. Special, new, or unique construction techniques, if proposed, are reviewed on a case-by-case basis to determine their effects on the structural integrity of the completed interior structure. In addition, the following information should be provided: a. The extent to which the materials and quality control programs comply with the 40 "Code Requirements for Nuclear Safety-Related Concrete Structures," ACI 349 (Ref. 2), for concrete, and with the AISC N690 "Specifications for Design, 41 Fabrication and Erection of Structural Steel for Buildings," (Ref. 3) for steel, as 42 applicable. b. For quality control in general, the extent to which the applicant complies with ANSI N45.2.5 (Reference. 7). 43 c. If welding of reinforcing bars is proposed, the extent to which the applicant complies with the applicable sections of the ASME Section III, Division 2 (ACI 359) Code should be described, and any exceptions taken should be 44 justified. 7.
