h emphasis on the extent of compliance with Article CC-3000 of the Code, specifically with respect to allowable stresses, strains, gross deformations, and other parameters that identify quantitatively the margins of safety. For each load combination specified, the proposed allowable limits are compared with the acceptable limits delineated in subsection II.5 of this SRP section. Included in these allowable limits are 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 Information provided on materials that are used in construction of the containment is reviewed with emphasis on the extent of compliance with Article CC-2000 of the Code. Among the major materials of construction that are reviewed are the following: a. The concrete ingredients. b. The reinforcing bars and splices. 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 DRAFT Rev. 2 - April 1996 3.8.1-6 g. The corrosion-retarding compounds used for the prestressing tendons. The quality control program that is proposed for the fabrication and construction of the containment is reviewed with emphasis on the extent of compliance with Articles CC-4000 and CC-5000 of the Code, including the following: Examination of the materials, including tests to determine the physical properties of concrete, reinforcing steel, mechanical
