Content:
lowing: a. The concrete ingredients. 6 b. The reinforcing bars and mechanical splices. c. The structural steel. d. Rock anchors, including any prestressing system. The quality control program proposed for the fabrication and construction of seismic Category I foundations is reviewed, including the following: nondestructive examination of the materials to determine physical properties, placement of concrete, and erection tolerances. Special construction techniques, if proposed, are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. In addition, the information contained in items a, c, and d of subsection I.6 of SRP Section 3.8.3 is also reviewed. 7 The review of geological and seismological information to establish the free field ground motion is performed by the Geosciences Branch as described in SRP Sections 2.5.1 and 2.5.2. 8 3.8.5-5 DRAFT Rev. 2 - April 1996 Hydrologic and Geotechnical Engineering Branch reviewsThe geotechnical parameters and methods employed in the analysis of free field soil media and soil properties are reviewed as described in SRP Sections 2.5.4 and 2.5.5.9 SEB accepts the results of the reviews performed by these branches including The 10 maximum seismic ground accelerations for the Operating Basis Earthquake (OBE) and the safe shutdown earthquake (SSE), site dependent free field ground motion records, soil properties, etc., are reviewed as an integral part of the seismic analysis review of 11 Category I structures. 7. Testing and Inservice Surveillance Programs If applicable, any post-construction testing and inservice surveillance programs for foundations, such as monitoring potential settlements and displacements, are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Review Interfaces12 The SEBECGB coordinates other branches' evaluations that interface with structural 13 14 engineering aspects of the review, as follows: A. Determination of structures which are subject to a quality assurance program in accordance with the requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 is
