ADDITIONAL INFORM TION REQUESTED BY THE NRC IN RESPONSE
- TO CONCERNS B.l.ii THROUGH B.l.vv On December 1, 1984, calculations were reconstructed to substan-tiate the ",$'" factors used in the simplified design process as described in the Project Design Criteria - DC-ST-03-BY/BR, Rev.
-8, Section 37.0. -
What follows is a discussion of:
- a. Whatthe"p"factoris,
- b. How the "d" factor was numerically quantified.
-c. The bounding parameters involved in the selection of the "p* factors.
.d. Tables 15.1 and -15.2 which summarize the "O" factors used and the sample calculations performed to substantiate them.

WHAT THE [ FACTOR IS h The project. design criteria enumerates allzthe-design require-
~
ments-for auxiliary' steel supports.- In addition to the major contribu' tion of'the actual appl'ied pipe load, the effects of the,following additive minor: tolerances, eccentricities and member self-weight seismic excitation must be considered as specified in the Byron-project design criteria'section and.further clarified.__

37.1.1. Item b Self weight OBE and SSE excitation'of the auxiliary steel and component hardware in the three principal orthogonal directions. The. governing peak seismic excitation values, 2.0 g horizontal and 4.0 g vertical, have been used for all cases. (see Figures 15.3A and 15.3B) m Item b.is a design requirement conservatively calculated by using the peak acceleration values (2.0 g horizontal and 4.0 g vertical) .
~
Items e, f, h, i and g are installation tolerances. That is, they'do not change the applied piping' load but are effects on stress in auxiliary steel due to. variation in support installation.
~
Their main effect is to introduce torrional stresses in the auxil-lary support steel.

- 3. o ' ' I) # "
l Prior to.1980, detailed design was manually performed to account s
for the major applied loads and the minor tolerances listed above. !
This was a time consuming and laborious process. Therefore, ,
a need arose to conservatively remove some of-the tedious elements of thefhand calculation-effor.t without neglecting their effect on'the member design. Thus,.the ",O'" factor was develop 63. Minor I
tolerances and load effects which result in relatively low member-stress were lumped together and were accounted for in the design
' bytheuseoftheffactor.
This "p" factor is an allowable stress reduction factor introduced into the design process to account only for minor load effects.
Stresses due-to major load effects such as the actual applied load are directly calculated and are not included in the'j/, factor.
Thisffactorisonly-intendedforcertainsupportconfigurations and member types as shown in Table 15.1.
All the tolerances, items e, f, h , i and g are accounted for by this factor and in item b the effect of auxiliary steel self weight acceleration and component hardware acceleration in the longitudinal' direction of the member is included in the ",d" factor. )
.This longitudinal effect was chosen since.its contribution is very minor when compared.to all the other loadings since it amounts j to a small percentage of loads compared to the member allowable load.

N For detailed. analysis as-shown in the idealized support on Figure 15.3A, the loads other than piping-applied load (PA) act as follows:
- a. Auxiliary Steel member weight (WS) - excited seismically in 3 directions, applied at the center of beam and midspan.
s
- b. Har}ger hardware (WH) - excited seismically in 3 directions, applied.at the hardware pin point, eH from the centerline of the beam.
For simplified analysis as shown in the idealized support on
- . Figure 15.3B, all the loads are applied at the shear center of the beam. (Note
- no seismic excitation in the longitudinal direc-
-tion).

.It~is important to note that even for these minor load effects

ethis " simplified" approach which uses a. reduction factor yields conservative: designs compared to the detailed hand calculation r-
- procedure. .
5 HOW THE d' FACTOR WAS NUMERICALLY ' QUANTIFIED 4 ,
The[jd factor is defined as the ratio of the design interaction ratio.obtained-by the simplifled-calculation to the design inter-
- action. ratio obtained by a detailed calculation. .In the form
- of-an. equation:
I, Simplified Int'eraction-Ratio
. =.

- I Detailed Interaction Ratio D
l .,
is the ratio of the actual member The design interaction ratio, I, ;
stress divided by:the allowable member stress. Before.the advent 1
of the computerization of the design parameters, the. simplified j and detailed. analyses were perforn.ed manually. The " Aux-Steel" program was developed in 1980 to aid in the preliminary selection of mechanical componentsupport steel members. This program con-siders all of the design-requirements of the detailed analysis as specified in the Byron Project Design Criteria. To expedite thereverificationoftheffactors,-the" Auxiliary-Steel" program t was used both for the simplified approach and the detailed approach.

The simplified and detailed calculation requirements are pictor-
.ially represented in' Figures 15.3A and 15.3B. Both figures show
- the actual support configuration and the idealized design condi-tion locating the loads and the direction of loads to be consid-ered.
To obtain the design interaction necessary to compute the "p" factors, certain parameters were considered its determining the
- bounding conditions used to select the piping support configura-tions. What follows is an identification of how those parameters l
were used in the selection process. A more detailed description will be discussed further with the introduction of Tables 15.1 and 15.2 which summarize.the results of the calculations performed

BOUNDING PARAMETERS IN THE SELECTION OF.THE 6 FACTORS .
.The bounding parameters are:
- a. Auxiliary-steel configuration and support conditions.
Support conditions can be said to bound a selection process __
if'they are more critical, that is, produce greater stress levels than other support conditions. When the simplified design = process was used manually, a frame was conservatively considered as being composed of simply supported and canti- !
levered' members without considering the continuity of the memberi. Thus, simply supported members and cantilevered
.mem b ers are bounding support conditions over frame assem-blies since the redundancy of a frame allows redistribution of stresses over~its multiple members. A simply supported or cantil,evered member has no other members to share its stresses. Frame assemblies are bounded by other-conditions since it can be said that a frame is an extension of a simply supported condition and two cantilevered conditions.
Therefore, the ",d" factor of 0.75 is conservative when compared to the factors for sloply supported and cantilevered
- members.

- b. Auxiliary' steel size and shape. - - -
- 1. The auxiliary steel sizes and shapes must be represent- -
~
. ative of actual field requirements. The selection process -involved choosing the most commonly used sizes i'
and' shapes.
~
- 2. A size and shape ~ selection can be said to bound a selec-tion process if the more critically stressed size and shape is chosen. For example, once it has been deter-mined.what"/" factor is required for a wide flange shape, a determination of a' factor for an angle shape is not required. Warping normal torsional stress added to the bending stresses is the primary reason for the factor used and this-effect occurs in wide-flange shapes -
but not in angle shapes. The consideration of the same tolerances produce torsional shear stresses in angle shapes that are not added to the bending stresses.
- 4. In addition, the wide variety of members selected are bounding torsional strength comparisons. Since the effect of the design requirements that the pl factor replaces is primarily one of torsion, by comparing.
the strong axis strength to the torsional strength, 4
.pm- .- = - . $+,.--- - = = , p 6 gy
. one can determine: bounding conditions .cnt members.
Thus,.a_W8x31 strong axis-strength to torsional strength
- has a ratio of'about 19.- A W4x13. strong axis. strength-to. torsional strength has a ratio of approximately
~12._-Therefore,-the W8x31 is bounding over the W4x13.
- c. Span length

rembers span between in-place main-steel or embedded plates.- '
Lased on this,~ spans ranging from 5'-0 to 8'-0 encompass t
, lengths for simply-supported cases and ther' fore, e were.
selected. -However,-since the detailed interaction values
~
.are fully stressed,-the length variation has very little effect-on theJI factor..
. d. Load location along the span
- Various locations along the spans of simply supported mem-bers were selected. For cantilevers, the load was placed i 'at the end of the member where its placement would have the most critical effect. For simply sapported cases, the position of the load was.placed close to the center of the center where its location would have the most con-
'servative effect.

.., *o.- "Locd' direction' '
.The most critical applied piping load is a load creating torsion cn1 a member. The if factor does not account for this.effect and thus, separate hand calculations-must be per-formed to account.for this effect.
An applied vertical' piping load on a member produces no torsion and thus, a load from any tolerance . creating tor--- ._
sion changes a-torsional stress from 0% to.some. finite number which theoretically is an infinite percentage in- ,
crease; whereas, a. load from any tolerance causing torsion on a member already designed forean applied, piping load that produces torsion will have a substantia'lly lower percen-Ltage. increase than one with a vertically applied loading producing no torsion. All ff factor calculations were per-formed with the most: conservative direction of the applied
. piping. load - the direction vertical to the member. In ,
.an actt.tal calculation where the actual applied piping load is at.an angle t' the member, the components of this load-ing are considered in a manually performed detailed analysis.
