BACKGROUND INFORMATION In response to II Bulletin 80-11 and as part of the Systematic Evaluation Program (SEP) Topic III-6, Seismic Design Consideration, Southern California submitted its reevaluation of the reinforced concrete masonry walls on January 11, 1902 (1]*.

The Licensee's submittals consisted of Licensee criteria, discussion of the nonlinear analysis, and the results of the nonlinear analysis of walle in I

the turbine building, ventilation equipment building, ausiliary building and fuel storage building. For the fuel storage building the licensee also

'provided the evaluation of the, structural steel framing, the reinforced' B

concrete fuel pool and base mat, the reinforced concrete slab and the roof deck. CIS technical staff also made a presentation regarding the nonlinear

.. analysis methodology in January 1982 at.the NRC office in Bethesda' Maryland.

Based on the results of the review of the Licensee-proposed nonlinear analysis and other published literature, the NRC sent a' letter dated February 17, 1982 (2] to inform the Licensee that the proposed nonlinear time history analysis could not be accepted as the sole basis for evaluation and qualificat,lon of the masonry walls, and a number of questions were raised regarding the g

nonlinear analysis. Subsequently, and in accordance with the NRC 48 recomunendation, the Licensee made a commitment to perform a dynamic test g

program to validate the nonlinear methodology. Also, responses to questions B/

regarding the nonlinear analysis were provided (31

(

On May 11, 12, and 13, 1982, the NRC staff conducted a walkdown at the L

San Onofre plant to gain first-hand knowledge about the insitu walls and held an audit meeting with the licensee and CIS to discuss the design and analysis

[

method. The test facilities at the Earthquake Engineering Research Center (EERC) at the University of California at Berkeley, which the Licensee J

proposed to use for its test program,'were visited.

By letter dated July 19, 1982 (4}, the Licensee submitted the proposed

',{ }

mascnry wall test program.

The program was reviewed, and lists of questions were forwarded to the Licenses for additional information and/or further

.. e

Numbers in bracket's indicate references, which are cited in Section 11.

.l f

TER-C5506-405 clarification regarding the test program on September 22, 1982 (5) and January 3, 1983 (6) to which the Licensee responded (7, 8].

On April 8, 1983, upon the NRC request, the L'icensee also submittad a protest analysis of one

[

l test panel prior to the actual tests (9].

Because of the complex nature of, Y

l the test program, it is worth noting that in addition to the above-mentioned' l

communication between the Licensee and the NRC, a number of conference calls were held during this period to resolve the details relating to the test r

program.

s

On May 5, 1983, the NRC, TRC staff, and consultants were at l'.he test site g

to witness the tests done on the first test panel (referred to as Wall 1A in Al the test program). Another hur test panels were tested from May 18, 1983 to July 14, 1983.

By a letter dated April 12, 1984, the Licensee submitted a total of five

, reports providing the results of the test program (10].

It is noted that the,

Licensee considered the data given in these reports as proprietary. As a result of the review of these reports, a report was issued by Des. H. Harris and A. Hamid (11], a meeting was held on September 5, 1984 at the CIS office in Berkeley, California to discuss the test results and their correlation with the analysis methodology; a site visit was held the next day to examine the affected' walls. A list of action items was developed fe'om this meeting and

[

the site visit (12), and all of these action items have been answered (13, 14j. A report concerning the nonlinear analysis methodology was also issued t

k by TEC consultants and is included in Appendix B of this report.

LICENSEE CRITERIA l

f Based on the review of the Balance of Plant Structures Seismic Evaluation E

e l

[15, 22] tnd the reports prepared by CES (1], the criteria used by the Licensee are sum.weized as follows:

f d

i o

For linear elastic analysis: The working stress procedures described in ACI 531-79 were used. Only one wall in the reactor auxiliary y

building was identified to be qualified by linear elastic analysis.

g The stresA allowables were based on the ACI 531-79 codes.,

o A d.' ping value of 7% was used for the design basis earthquake (DBE) t o

loading (0.67g Housner response spectrum).

An increase factor of 1.67 was included in the ACI $31-79 allowables o

(IS) (masonry shear and tension) for load combination including SS,.

E With regard to the linear el stic analysis, the Licensee's criteria are considered satisfactory an.1 acceptable with the' exception of an increase

{

factor of 1.67 for masonry stresses (shese, tension). However, all walls are*

a l

reinforced and this increase factor was not actually needed because the steel r

reinforcement will re'sist the induced tension ard the Licensee's allowable for I

the steel is in compliance with the SGr3 criteria.

With respect to the criteria for the nonlinear analysis, detailed i

discussion is given in subsequent sections of this report.

4 Regarding the nonlinear analysis, the following criteria were introduced (1):

i For transverse loads:

I Maximu.$displacementofthewallislimitedbyamaximumsteelstrain o

5.1 MTALYSIS METHOD USED FOR THE TURBINE, VDITILATION EQUIPMDIT, MID REACTOR AUXILIARY BUILDING j

This subsection will provide an overview of the analysis methodology used to qualify walls in the turbine, ventilation equipment and reactor auxiliary f

building. Detailed information regarding this methodology was given in Reference 1.

t

~^

J The methodology was developed for the inelastic transverse analysis of centrally reinforced masonry walls. This methodology is based on the use of

[t

~

the nonlinear computer programs DRAIN-20 and MISR-II. Wal1deformationis allowed to extend beyond its elastic limits. As the wall deformation falls into inelastic ranges, plastic hinges are formed, vertical rebars are allowed to yield and the mortar joints are in compression only (gap elements).

f 7:

Criteria for this methodology are provide *d in the previous section.

The 4

following information highlights the key features of the,m'odel used in the

, y i

analysis L

A finite element model based on the DRAIN-20 and MJ3R-II computer C

o programs was used.

[

o plastic hinges were included in the midsection and the base in the 1

model.

l The plastic hinge was modeled as a truss bar which yields in tension, o

A minimum of two joints (mortar joints) on either side of the points I..

o of maximum mcment were included in the model.

o At the mortar jo!nt, the face shell was modeled as truss bar elastic in compression with no tension espacity.

~

Blocks between mortar joint were rodeled as plane stress elements.

o

TER-C5506-405 o

Strain hardening of the rebar was limited to 3 to 5% of the stiffness prior to yield.

A time step less than or equal to 0.02 times the fundamental period o

was used.

A masimum damping ratio of 7% of cri'tical damping was used.

o B

The basic components of the finite element model are given in Figure 5.1.

5.1.1 Model Formulation *

.B The initial attempt was to determine.the applicability of inelastic

,g, modeling.techn! ques'to a centrally reinforced wall subjected to out-of-plane u

loading. A vesification study was carried out using a simply supported beam model in the foll< wing steps:

verification of elastic model i

verification of plastic hinge trial time history analysis.

8 This study was conducted by varying the strength and stiffness of the model. A serise of six time history analyses were performed in this initial pinase of model formulation.

4 In order to verify the elastic component of the model, a 1-foot-wide strip of well was modeled for a uniformly applied load.

plane stress elements were used for elastic analysis of the model. The purpose of this study was to provide a reasonably accurate stiffness by adjusting the finite element mesh and thickness of the plane stress elements (the thickness of the plane stress b

elements was selected so as to give the correct cracked moment of inertia of the wells which was calculated from the transformed cross section).

.Nls The predicted displacements of the model were compared with those of the theoretical predictions.

As a result of this study, the model shown in Figure j

5.2a was adopted.

The plastic hinge investigation was conducted by using tho test results tt of Scrivener (17].

Dimensions and section properties were calculated to match the wall tests as closely as possible, f.cading was applied in increments.

Figure 5.:b. Model for Plastic Hinge Verification

s i

TER-C5506-405 The model for plastic hinge verification is illustrated in Figure 5.2b.

The j

computed load-displacement history was compared with the experimental results

~

given in Reference 17 and shown in Figure 5.3.

The next step in the investigation was to run a time history analysis (5 i

seconds of the N-5 component of the 1940 El Centro earthquake). The purpose j

^

of this analysis was to evaluate the wall responses in terms of displacement pad ductility by varying the steel strength and by using the moment of inertia c.

of the cracked section for two cases:

(1) throughout the model and (2) only at the plastic hinge locations.

The results of this initial phase of model formulation indicated a need for a parametric study involving the following parameters:

o Number of elements in the model o

Length of joints being modeled o

Strain hardening parcentage

~

r o

Moment of inertia (I) for the plane stress elements.

5.1.2 Model Refinement A parametric study was carried out to refine the original model formulation. The first part of this study consisted of the determination of the appropriate number of elements to be used in the model. Two models were used: a cantilever was modeled with a point load and the simple beam with a unifomly applied load. A length (L) of 120 inches was used with the depth (D) varied over 6 in, 8 in, and 12 in.

Results of the midspan deflection are h

shown in Figures 5.4 and 5.5.

It can be seen from these figures that the deflections computed by the models approach the theoretical deflections as the number of elements increases, with faster convergence for lotter L/D ratios.

The results also indicated that to achieve an accuracy of 90% or better at least 30 elements were included in the model.

To test the adequacy of the cracked joint elements, the results of the Dickey and Mackintosh test series (18] were used. The model was loaded q

monotonically in increments of load up to 60 psf, and the following parameters were examinedt

o Variation of strain hardening of the rebar.

4 Figure 5.6 illustrates the prototype test wall from Reference 18 along with three different finite elements models being examined. The initial.

8 analysis started with Model 2A in which a'll joints were modeled and the joint 3

length varied. The results of this study are shown in Figure 5.7; the 4-in k

joint length gave the best results and was selected for further analyses.

" Figure.5.8 shows the results of Models 2B and 2C.

These two models"have joint j

details similar to those of Model 2A in the central portion, but the remainder of the model is represented by plane stress elements. Figure 5.8 indicates

" tihat Model 2B, with three joints and the moment of inertia (I) e, qual to 1.5 cracked moment of inertla', gives the best results. Model 2C with only one joint did not give good results and.therefore was eliminated from this stuity.

The next parameter examined was strain hardening, and Model 2B was used for this purpose.

Figure 5.9 shows 1% strain hardening of the rebar gives the best correlation with the experimental curve.

t#

The final model was slightly modified based on Model 25 and is shown in Figure 5.10.

To test the prediction of the model, the test results of Scrivener (17]

were used.

It is noted that Scrivener conducted two series of tests on 10-ft-7 high walls with 4-1/2-inch thick clay brick units with vertical reinforcing in the cores of the bricks. The load was applied quasi-statically in fully reversed cyclic maaner by changing the air bag from one face to the other.

The prototype test wall and the finite element model are shown in Figure 5.11.

A typical cyclic load-deflection curve as well as the correlation results are given in Figure 5.12.

discussed with the Licensee, the major concern associated with the proposed methodology is the lack of applicable test data that can be used to verify and confirm the conservatism of the methodology (2].

The tests cited by the Licensee (17, 18] are not applicable to the walls in the plant in terms of block type, reinforcement percentages, grouting, boundary supports, and the type of loadings since the proposed model includes a number of features and each fe'ature may significantly influence the total

'h:f

response of the wa'11s. The sensitivity of various parameters (i.e., length of plestic hinge, behavior of gap elements, equivalent moment of inertia, dcctility ratio, etc.) needed to be examined under a.well controlled test pe: gram to ensure that the proposed model with all of its' complex features p

will result in g conservative evaluation..

h TER-C5506-405 is also a mezzanine floor in the switchgear room at elevation 31 ft 0 inches and it is constructed of steel framing and grating. There are a total of 10 masonry walls in the fuel storage building comprising the switchgear room, which is adjacent to the fuel storage pool, and the entire structure above the fuel storage pool (see Figure 5.14).

Above the 42-foot elevation, the masonry walls supply all the in-plane stiffness, and below 42 feet (switchgear room),

the dominant effect on the walis is caused by imposed displacements from the r-tation of the fuel poof on its soil springs.

b ro 5.2.2 Background of Analysis Thean$1ysisofthefuelstoragebuildingwasoriginallysubmittedby Southern California Edison Company (SCE) as Volume 4 of the " Seismic Evalua-tion of Reinforced Concrete Masonry Walls" (19] for the San Onofre Unit 1 plant.

Since then, howeverI soil conditions different from those assumed in tho' analysis were encountered at the site.

Because the soil structure interaction dominates the structural behavior of the fuel storage building, a j

supplemental analysis had to be performed and was summarized in Volu=e 5 of the " Seismic Evaluation of Reinforced Concrete Masonry Walls" (20). The

]

'O general methodology for both the original and revised analyses are the same.

Both analyses were performed using the earthquake time history method, p

t-although the revised analysis used a different method of scaling the time histories to fit the evaluation response spectra (see Section 5.2.5 and item 1 h

below).

Both analyses used linear and non-linear global cceputer models and g

detailed sub-structure models to carry out the stress evaluations; however, the revised analysis used modified soil springs in its models to reflect the

{

actual soil conditions at the site.

In addition to altering the soil springs to reflect the lower in-situ soil density, Volume 5 incorporates the fo'llowing

[

modifications to the analysis of Volume 4:

1.

The earthquake time histories were frequency scaled to more closely

[

fit the analysis response spectrum.

~

2.

The analysis response spectrum was increased over certain period ranges.

.to a three-dimensional ANSR-II global model (see Figure 5.16).

The global model results were applied to detailed substructure models to obtain more precise results.

,g tu the same as the nonlinear model except that it does not include the nonlinear effects of the masonry walls. This model was used to extract the normal modes of the system, which contributed to the understanding of the overall dynamic behavior of the structure. The normal modes were also used to obtain the frequency-dependent damping constants that were needed to compute the composite modal damping for elements in the nonlinear model. The nonlinear J

d model is an ANSR-II computer model that includes both the in-plane and out-of-plane nonlineak responses of the masonry walls. The "in-plane" walls were represented by finite element models with plane stress elements.

In

~

order to include the "in-plane" masonry walls in ths global model, correction

~

factors to allow, for the coarse ANSR-II grid and openings in the walls had to g

U be obtained. To find these factors, a " detailed substructure model of the wall was analyzed elastically for static lateral loads using the SAP-5A' progra s.

.. The deflections from this. analysis, in conjunction with the deflections from a similar analysis using a e,oarser substructure model, provided the correction factor sought. The "out-of-plane" masonry walls were modeled differently in the fuel storage building than in the ventilation, turbine, and reactor auxiliary buildings, all of which used tru'ss, gay, and plane stress elements to form their masonry wall models.

Each "out-of-plane" masonry wall in the fuel storage building was represented by a beam element. In the inelastic l

L analysis, the inelastic behavior of each beam element was represented by a

l hysteresis curve (Figure 5.17). The shape of the curve ensured that the U

correct static cyclic behavior was obtained. This model (single-mass) was tested for dynamic and static response, whic h was compared to the response N

g from the more complex models (multi-mass) used in the other buildings. The responses of the two types of models compared favorably, as can be seen in i

Figure 5.18.

Two walls, FB-7 and F5-4, were not included in the global model I

6' for out-of-plane response because their hori ental spans were much smaller

{

than their vertical spans. They were evaluated separately based on two-way l

spanning.

I steel floor framing at elevation 31 feet 0 inches is covered in part by a steel grid, resulting in partial diaphram action. This is modeled using truss members that span horisontally from the fuel pool south well to the masonry well FB-10.

The com: rete slab at elevation 14 feet 0 inches, beneath the switchgear room, was cast on grade. And because it was not considered to have any,

significant. influence on the masonry walls or fuel pool, it was escluded from

{

the model of the fuel storage building.

The concrete fuel pool was represented very coarsely in the global model (see Figure 5.16). A more detailed linear substructure model'was used to obtain the stress pattern for component evaluation.

5.2.5 Analysle e

p p

The analysis of the linear model included two SAP-5A eigenanalyses:

one

. using the elements with their original stiffness, the other using the eleinents e

in their degraded condition (i.e., with their minisman stiffness). The modes I

estracted from these analyses provided data for computing damping values for y

elements in the nonlinear anodel.

Z The nonlinear model was analysed for a set of three earthquake time histories. Each component of each time history was scaled to fit the analysis W

response spectra ("Housner spectra"). This individual scaling of each component produced horizontal components of approzimately the same intensity j

(i.e., matching the Housner Spectra); therefore, it was necessary to consider only one orientation for each' earthquake. 'The time histories were scaled

, using Computech Engineering Services (CES) computer program THSPECT. The original analysis (19] scaled each point on the accelerogram by a factor F

derived by equating the spectral intensities of the real time history spectra with those of the analysis spectra. The revised analysis (201 used an e

iterative procedure in which the real time histories were transformed into the

'1 frequency domain using a Fast Fourier Transform and scaled according to the 7

ratio between the target and computed spectra. An inverse Fast, Fourier Transform was then to obtain the modified time histories which were in turn used to calculate new response spectra.

The new spectra were compared with

g TER-C5506-405 the target spectra and new scaling ratios were obtained. The procedure'was repeated until satisfactory convergence was obtained. Note that all scaling was performed for both the sine and cosine coefficients, and thus the phase angles are unchanged. Therefore, the phase relationships between the various frequencies of the original time history are re,tained.

Since the masonry walls provide all of the horisontal stiffness, the steel framing in this building carries only vertical loads.

Steel columns carry only vertical gravity loads sinde the vertical seismic loads are taken by the masonry. Horisontal members in the roof, the diaphragm at elevation 42 feet 0 inches, and the messanine were evaluated for vertical seismic effects using a response spectrum' analysis and the appropriate envelope spectra for each' elevation. The acceptance criteria for steel were based on the AISC g

Specification for Steel Design, 1978 and a 60% increase in allowable stress D.*.

for load combinations containing seismic loadd.

The metal roof deck was evaluated for seismic s' hear forces. The accept-ance criteria were based on manufacturers' recommendations.

The concrete slab at elevation 42 feet 0 inches is subjected co out-of-plane seismic and gravity loads. The response of the slab to these loads was evaluated using the SAP-5A program. Gravity loads were represented p

U as uniformly distributed loads with an additional 109 psf over the area of the new fuel racks. Vertical earthquake effects were analysed using the envelope response spectrum at that elevation. The evaluation of 'the slab was based on ultimate strength techniques and ACI 318, 1977.

3 i

b The fuel pool was evaluated for combined horizontal and vertical earthquake loads and the dead load of water amplified by the vertical accelerations. Hydrodynamic effects of the pool water were also included in the analysis for horizontal seismic loads, which was based on the time history analysis of the building. The pool was analyzed by the ultimate strength method according to ACI-318, 1977.

.TER-C5506-405

't-Station Unit I have been examined and found to be adequate. Based on the results reported in SCE's " Seismic Evaluation of Reinforced Concrete Masonry Walls," Volume 5 (20), it is concluded that the following components which P

comprise the fuel storage building are adequate and acceptab1'e:

a.

Structural steel framing b.

Reinforced concrete fuel pool and, base mat L

c.

Reinforced concrete slab at elevation 42 feet j

d.

Rocf deck.

The floor slab of the switchgear roc.3 was not considered in the evaluat' ion of f

the fuel storage building. However, this slab is of little concern because it was cast on grade and has no structural connection to the masonry walls or fuel pool. The walls of the swite!. gear roem rest on reinforced concrete strip t

footings.

r Regarding the masonry walls in the fuel storage building, assessments of the methodology used in qualifying the walls were given in Section 5.1.3.

ANAI.YSIS RESUI.TS The proposed finite element model introduced in the previous section was used to evaluate the masonry walls in the following buildings:

o Turbine building Ventilation equipment building o

o Reactor auxiliary building

.s o

Fuel' storage building.

The location of these buildings and corresponding, masonry walls are shown In Figure,6.1.

The design basis earthquake motion used in the' analysis was the Housner response spectrum normalized to 0.67g.

Three different time histories compatible with the Housner response spectrum were used in the evaluation: El a-Centro (May 18, 1940), Taft (July 21, 1952), and Olympia (April 13, 1949).

6.1 TUR3INE BUII. DING The turbine building has 12 walls to be evaluated (TB1 through TB12).

TER-C5506-405 are vertically reinforced with No. 7 bars at 32-inch intervals and horizontally reinforced with No. 5 bars at 48-inch intervals. A 2-foot bond beam reinforced with two No. 5 bars top and bottom exists at the top of all four walls. A typical section of the wall is given in Figure 6.2.
The results of the analysis are summarized in Table 6.6.
6.3 RDCTOR AUXILIARY BUILDING The reactor auxiliary building has seven walls to be evaluated (SBl through_S37). Wall Sb5 was qualified by elastic analysis, and the remaining six walls required nonlinear analysis.
The walls' height varies from 8 feet to 14 feet 8 inches. Two models were generated for two groups of walls.
The walls were grouped according to their height. Groups I and II correspond to walls having heights of about 8 feet and 14 feet, respectively.
The
' reinforcement in the walls varies, but a minimum of No. 5 bars at 48 inches along the vertical and horizontal direction exists in the walls.
I Figure 6.3 depicts a typical section of a wall.
Tables 6.7 and 6.8 give the analysis results for Group I and Group II, respectively.
i 6.4 FUEL STORAGE BUIt.DI.W i
Results given in this section include the masonry walls and other structures in the fuel storage building.
The walls of the fuel storage building were evaluated for the effects of in-plane and out-of-plane loadings.
Allowable limits were established for in-plane strain due to in-plane loads, and steel strain ratios and masonry compressive stress for out-of-plane loads.
The criteria for the San Onofre Unit 1 plant (" Balance of Plant Seismic Re-Evaluation Criteria." February 17, l
1981 (2]) set the allowable in-plane strain as 0.00264 based on the strain at which loss of strength'begins.
Wall F3-7, which is braced with steel against the allowable strain, is increased to 0.00528, based on the strain at which I
spalling would occur.
The in-plane strain for all walls is well below the i

TER-C5506-405 allowables except for FB-8 and FB-9 (switchgear room), which have respective f
strains of 71% and 99% of the limit. However, these walls are braced along one edge that abuts the fuel pool, so strains substantially higher than the H
allowable would not seriously affect these walls.
All walls but FB-4 and FB-7 were represented in the global model for out-of-plane response. These walls were evaluated with a sap-5A finite.
element program using the envelope response spectrum from the nonlinear analysis.' The mIaximum moments for FB-7 reached 32% of the elastic capacity in k
a horizontal strip and 6% in a vertical strip. The maximum moments for FB-4 were 99% and 103% of elastic capacity in a horizontal and vertical strip, 4
respectively. These results are conservative, however, because the capacity was exceeded in only one region and because the roof level envelope spectrum e
was used, which has accelerations of about twice those found a,t the base of 1

FB-5 had the maximum deflection, 9.93 inches.
Its maximum steel strain ratio was less than 50% of the allowable of 45, and its maximum compression masonry stress is about 53% of the criteria limit of 1434 psi.
The maximum bending moment in the steel members occurred in a 12WF45.3
,5 roof member and was evaluated at 33.5 ksi. This, with an allowable of 56 kai, produced a' ratio of actual to allowable stress of 93%. The maximum ratio for axial load in columns was 73%, with an actual stress of 3.2 ksi and an allow-able of 4.36 ksi. A flexural member at elevation 42 ft 0 inches, 24WF94, also has an axial load that is 8% of the axial allowable. The interaction ratio of flexural and axial stress for this member is 81%.
The allowable shear load for the metal roof deck was established to be 2962.5 lb/ft. The maximum calculated shear load was 2329 lb/ft, which is 79%
y of the allowable.
l, For the slab at elevation 42 feet 0 inches, the maximum moment was 55% of l~
l the design strength of 4.75 k-in/in; this occurred in the east-west direction.
In the north-south direction, the moment was 21% of the design strength, which was 13.93 k-in/in.

TEST PROGRAM In conjunction with the information given in this section, Appendix E documents pertinent information relating to pre-test activities.
The main objective of the test program was to validate the analytical technique (nonlinear time history analysis) used to qualify the masonry walls in the plant.
The test program was recommended by the NRC staff due to the
(
lack of seismic test data on the type of wall co'nstruction at San Onofre pl' ant
' (2).
Further discussion regarding a need for a test program is given in Section 5.3.
. The test were conducted by Comptech Engineering Services Corporation at the Structural Laboratories of the Earthquake Engineering Research Center, University of California, Berkeley.
The tests consist of material testing,
~
, low-level pull back tests, and high-level dynamic response, tests on wal1 w
panels.

7.1 TEST SE1VP
The test setup consisted of four reaction frames:
c1' two MTS actuators U
located at the top and bottom of the reaction frames.
The test walls were installed on top of a steel plate that rested on four Thompson Dual Roundway Bearings sliding on top of steel rods with minimum friction force.
To prevent uplift,of the base of the wall, a second set of Thomson Bearings was placed at the appropriate location.
At the top of the wall, spreader beams were attached to the test wall.
The test setup is illustrated in Figure 7.1, and the roller k
system is shown in Figure 7.2.

The wall type corresponded in height and reinforcement to the fuel storage building and the ventilation building. The walls in the ventilation building are approximately 3 feet shorter than the test
-Q spect=ans.
It is noted that walls in the fuel storage buildinj are U
the heaviest and tallest walls at San Onofre Unit 1.
They are the only walls not founded on grade and, as such, their input motions will have amplification effects in excess of any other walls at the*
San Onofre plant.

g TI2-C5506-405 The input time histories were determined from the analysis of the various bulidings where the masonry walls were located. For example, the acceleration time histories at the top of the fuel pool and at the roof levels obtained from a nonlinear analysis of the fuel storage building were retained and used as inputs to the test we'11s. These inputs included the in-structure amplifica-tion as determined from the nonlinear analysis. Most critical responses were the results of the Taft ground motion. Therefore, the Taft ground motion was used in the test program. It is noted that the input motions were different for the two actuator levels. Figures 7.5 through 7.10 illustrate typical displacment and accelention time histories and their corresponding response
' spectra used as inputs,to the, test walls. Further disc.ussion,on this subject g
is provided in Appendix E.

7.4 BOUNDARY CONDITIONS OF' TEST SPECIMENS y.
The dowel,s installed at the test base have the same area of dowelled steel,and the sa'e embedmont percentage as in the in-situ walls. The in-situ m
walls have a pin connection at the top which is typically a ledger angle. The g
top connection of the test wall has a spread beam, and the actuator was
' G attached to the top of'the panel via a pin connector as shown in Figure 7.11.
Further information concerning this subject is given in Appendix E.

l 7.5 MATERIAE. PROPERTIES TESTS
)
7(
Prior to the actual seismic test, testing of all mortar, grout, and steel samples was conducted by Testing Engineers, Inc., Oakland, California. These tests were in conformance with ASTM C91 and ASTM C109-75. In addition, the testing of the compressive prisms and block samples were performed at the Earthquake Engineering Research Center, University of California, Berkeley,
' l.J California. These tests conformed to ASTM E 447-74 and ASTM C 140-75.
I Nine cylinder samples of mortar and nine cube samples of grout were sampled during the construction of each specimen. The' samples were selected in q oups of three:
the first group frem the lower one-third of the wall, the seccnd group from the middle one-third, and the third group frem upper one-

TER-C5506-405 10s. CONCLUSIONS l
Based on the review of the test results and the correlation study prepared and documented by Southern California Edison Company, the following j
conclusions were reached:
o Test results demonstrated that the walls were able to withstand the
?
design earthquake levels specified for the San Onofre plant.
g o
Test results demonstrated that a well-anchored reinforced coherete "j
masonry wall could sustain inelastic deformation. The test walls did
'I exhibit a ductile mode of behavior.
o Test results demonstrated that although the wall's mid-span displacement was noticeably high the overall wall conditions were reasonably good. Except for the bottom joint, no. extensive crushing
$3 of face shell or spalling was reported. The anchors were well"
l behaved, wall stability was maintained.
It was also noted that the L4 2l test input motion for the critical walls representing the fuel storage building was significantly higher (i.e., on the average at least 25% higher) than the specified designed motion which was an indication of available margin associated with the specified design
.otion.
o In general, the analytical procedures were able to capture the f
behavior of the test walls.
However, due to differences in the input h
values of the test and the analysis, several parameters in the correlation study did not exhibit good correlation.
It is judged that the model was tested and examined extensively during the model formulation phase and the fact that it captured the general response of the walls indicated that the methodology is very promising.
Ecwever, it is judged that additional study should be conducted before using it in future applications.
As a minimum, the following
.g.
parameters should be examined:
$1 Adjust the steel strength of the rebar in the model to reflect If the actual test results.
h Adjust the input loadings applied to the model so that they are y
comparable to those of the test inputs.
Adjust the off-center location of the rebar in wall IB in the f.'.
model.
Adjust the length of the plastic hinge in the model.
3 Refine the model so that it could predict the permanent set of the wall.
...-n
TER-C5506-405 8
'Naw computer runs with the above adjustments to the model will definitely lead to conclusive evidence about the conservatism of the methodology. Two scenarios are envisioned:
a.
If reasonable correlations are achieved:
the methodology is proved to be conservative ar.d acceptable.
b.
hfreasonablecorrelationsarenotachieved: modifications need to f'
incorporat;ed into the analytical model.
j Detailed discussion on this subject is given in Appendix B of this report.
Despite the' assessment given above, the fact that the test walls did o
7 exhibit their capacity and that a ductile behavior was realized in the tests serve as an evidence that the San Onofre walls will perform p
their intended functions in postulated seismic environment.
fu o
With regard to the seismic analysis of the fuel storage building, the O"
7 methods used in the analysis of the following structures were reviewed and found acceptable:
structural steel framing, reinforced concrete fuel pool and base mat, reinforced concrete slab at
^
h elevation 42 feet, and the roof deck.

General Requirements The materials, testing, analysis, design, construction, and inspection I
related to the design and construction of safety-related concrete masonry walls should conform to the applicable requirements contained in Uniform Building Code - 1979, unless specified otherwise, by the provisions in B
this criteria.
The use of other standards or codes, such as ACI-531, ATC-3, or NCMA, is also acceptable. However, when the provisions of these codes are less B
conservative than the* corresponding provisions of the criteria, their use
~
should be iustified on a case-by-case basis.
a l
In new construction, no unreinforced masonry' walls will be permitted.
For operating plants, existing unreinforced walls will be evaluated by the E
I provisions of these criteria.
Plants which are applying for an operating license and which have already built unreinforced masonry walls will be
" evaluated"on a case-by-case basis.

In response to IE Bulletin 80-1I and the requirements of the h
Systematic Evaluation Program (SEP) Topic 111 - 6, Seismic Design Considerations, Southern California Edison Co. embarked on a program of masonry wall qualification for the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, q

The approach taken was a multifaceted one involving retrofit U

f substantiated by full scale testing under realistic earthquake loading. The l
analytical evaluation (Refs.1-5) was conducted by Computech Engineering Services, Inc., Berkeley, CA for the Bechtel Power Corporation, Los Angeles, CA, the designer and constructor of,50NGS-1. The full scale verification testing is d,0cumented in Refs. 6-10. All of the above work (Ref.1-10) is proprietar'/ to Southerh California Edison Company. However, the details tol the analytical model used by Computech has been published in the open.

A meeting to answer these concerns was held at the' Offices of Computech E5gineering Services, Inc., Berkeley, CA on September 5,1984.

6. Conclusions
.It is concluded that the seismic safety of the SONGS-1 masonry walls a}
has been adequately demonstrated by the verification testing program. A small margin in the wall test loads was insured by increasing the test M
command signal to the jacks by 10%. Although the analytical predictions
~i B-11 p
were very close for deflections, other parameters such as the length of the yleid hinge showed wide variations.
H It is concluded that direct correlation between the test data and the B
analytical model can not be made because a reanalysis using the proper material properties,' detailing and input motions was 'not carried out.
g Assessment of the conservatism of the analytical model can not be made at
' the'present time.
Therefore, for a general' application of this method h
. reanalysis of the test walls reflecting actual material properties, length of
~
yielding rebars, eccentricity of the reba'rs and input motion should be
~
performed.

1 Question 1 During the entire analysis, the masonry face shell is assumed to remain elastic. There is a likelihood that the compressive stress at the face shall may exceed the f'm value and spalling of the face may occur.
There j
is no grout core to stablize this situation. This aspect needs thorough investigation in terms of the strength of the masonry, strain / stress magnitudes at face shall, and actual masonry block b' havior during e

Question 2
..I In the nonlinear analysis the concept,of modal and Rayleigh damping, which is applicable in the linear analysis, is used. The treatment of E*
damping needs additional justification / verification.
In addition, the seven percent value used,also needs additional verification., Considering
,~
the uncertainty in the treatment and the value of damping, at least a
.i parametric study will be required to address the concerns in this area.
. r.-
Response 2 j
For all masonry walls being evalu' ted, the damping ratio for masonry ~ was a
7% of critical. This value was specified in the San Onofre plant's criteria i-for cracked masonry (4]. This.value is a' Iso in conformance with the SGEB t
s
,t criteria.
In elastic systems, the energy loss occurs through viscous damping which
'is proportional to velocity.
However, in nonlinear systems, additional energy I
dissipationoccursthroughhystersticmaterialre$ponse.
~
u The damping is expressed in terms of mass matrix and stiffness matrix.
~
I u.3 When the responses are in the elastic range, the frequencies of the normal
-.".\\
modes or modal damping remain constant. When nonlinear behavior occurs, x
damping leve'Is will vary as degradation causes the frequency of the response to vary. To account for this degradation, an effective damping not to exceed the specified damping of 7% was selected. The Licensee indicated that in the San Onofre plant wall evaluation additional conservatism was introduced by specifying stiffness damping for the plane stress elements only.
The gap elements representing the face shell and the truss elements representing the q
rebars had hysterstic damping effects only (no stiffness damping).
This is.a d
conservative estimate as the deformations are concentrated in the mortar joints where a significant portion of the stiffness damping was neglected.
L Because the method of incorporating damping effects in the,model used by a
the Licenw e is a standard technique and the damping levels are in ecmpliance with the SGES criteria, it is concluded the Licensee's response is adequate and acceptable.

Question 3
,.}
The selection of the length of rebar assumed to yield in the analysis is
.'J arbitrary. At present there is no data to provide the basis for such selection. Also, it needs to be verified that the parameter, Ljt, d
related to cracked joint widths is problem independent.

]
During the study relating to the model formulation, it was shown that the effective stiffness of the wall in the non-yielding portion could be modelled d
,. 1 using an effective moment of inertia. A parametric study was carried out, and J
. the results indicated that the variation in Ljt (cracked joint width)' caused
..a.
less than 5% variation in response (4].

For nonlinear probleme, equilibrium errors may occur at the beginning of any time step. These errors exist because of material nonlinearity and they may be reduced by decreasing the time step of integration by iteration scheme or by use of the so-called event-to-event solution strategy.

y The Licensee stated that the possible combinations of in-plane and
]d out-of-plane loadings were discussed in the Licensee's criteria (.see Section 4 of the report for further information).
Because the major impact of the g
out-of-plane loads is on the horizontal plane, it was concluded that the only additional effect for the load combination was the compression in the face shell caused by the in-plane loading.

Horizontal and vertical analyses were separately performed, and the V
response time histories were then combined. Justify the validity of this approach because both analyses were nonlinear time history analyses.
R Rosconse 4 L
The Licenses stated that the vertical leids on the fuel storage building
}
were resisted by the steel framing, whereas the horizontal loads were resisted by masonry walls.
Originally (3), the horizontal and vertical analyses were 7
performed separately because there is little interaction between these two I
systems.
In the latest analysis (4), however, all three seismic cceponents were applied to the sarne enodel at the same time.

TER-C5506-405 The response is adequate. This question is no longer applicable.
.l Question 5 Was the linear, elastic model developed for the frequency extraction only
.and not for any response analysis?
Resnonse '5 The Licensee responded that the elastic global model was not used for any component evaluation.
It was only used for initial parametric studies and for extracting the modes of the system and for evaluating damping values of the structure'and soil system.
This response is adequate.

/p..,f.,
,, Question 6 t
Your conclusions stated that "The 'as-built' structure was subjected to earthquake motions of the specified DBE level of 0.679 Housner for San
(
Onofra Unit l'and complied with the structural integrity acceptance criteria under this load." It is our understanding that only the El y
Centro records were used in a structural integrity evaluation of the
[',
building, while Figure D.2 (1) indicates that the El Centro records do k
not envelop the 0.679 Housnar spectra.
Provide your justification of the
accuracy of aforementioned conclusion statement. Our particular concerns 8
are.with the wall FB-7 and roof connections to walls n -6 and TB-7 5,,
~
Resoonse 6 The Licensee indicated that three earthquake time histories (El Centro g
1940, Olympia 1949, and Taft 1952) were used in the evaluation of the fuel a
storage building.
In the latest analysis (4], the two horizontal components of each of these earthquakes were frequency scaled (see Section 5.2.5 for
'further details) to envelope the 0.679 Hcuaner spectra.
Also, wall TB-7 and f
the roof connections to walls TB-6 and n -7 have been upgraded.. Wall T3-7 has been braced with steel members to take in-plane forces, and additional roof
]d connections consisting of 3/4-in bolts through walls TB-6 and FB-7 have been installed.
Figure D-3 illustrates these modifications.
The response is satisfactory.
Wall TB-7 and the roof connections to T3-6

8 Question 9 Provide references used as a basis for the in-plane strain criteria for 5
masonry walls.
Response 9 The Licensee responded that the in-plane criteria for, masonry walls were g
B based on Reference 5, a copy of which has been provided. This reference gives the results of 31 cyclic, in-plane shear tests on fixed ended masonry piers
[
with a height-to-width ratio of 1.
The tests were designed to simulate the boundary conditions of a shear wall in a complete building. The specimens m
f}
represented three types of masonry construction:
hollow concrete block, a
F*9 L
D-7
IT TER-C5506-405
{
E hollow clay brick, and a double-wythe grouted core wall consisting of two clay g
brick wythes. The specimens also included various examples of reinforcing and grout'ing so that these parameters may be taken into account.
As a result of the tests', all specimens showed a shear mode of failure sometimes combined with flexural yielding of the vertical reinforcement. The ultimate strength always occurred when diagonal cracks developed over the full height of the pier in both horizontal loading directions.
7 b.
However, as discussed in Appendix C and in Section 3 of the report, the in-plane load is not the governing case and hence, shear mode of failure will not occur. In-plane load was, however, combined with the out-of-plane lead in
,the analysis.
This response is adequate.

Question 10 e
i Provide details of the structural model for the fuel storage building and f'
the associated soil structure interaction parameters used in the model.
Y Response 10
'5 The Licensee provided copies of the ANSR-II program echo print of the model, the computer plots showing nodes, and relevant portions of the ANSR-II User's Manual.
Additional information on the soil-structure interaction parameters can be found in Reference 4.
In general, these parameters included translational and rotational spring values and damping percentages for the T
base of the fuel pool and switch gear room. The spring values were based on
<Z w.
the lower density ' soil adjacent t,o the fuel pool, which was identified during I
construction work on the turbine building. The resulting spring values were h
50% to 80% of the values used in the original analysis (3].

.With regard to the in-plane horizontal motirn, the Licensee indicated that this type of motion is not pertinent for the turbine building walls since l
'the connection details at the top of these walls will prevent them from being i
subjected to this component of motion. The Licensee provided details of a typical connection, which included the double pin connections, such that no L
in-plane loading from the structure will occur. Although masonry walls in the reactor auxilary building were subjected to low in-plane, shear loads, the Licensee asserted that this level of load has little or no effe-t on the a
out-of-plane response of the wall, and therefore, the consideration of this component was not necessary for this test sequence. The fuel storage building i
walls would be subjected to both in-plane and out-of-plane loads during a DBE. The analysis of these walls included two horizontal' and one vertical component of motion as reported in Reference 3.
However, the physical limitations of the available test' facilities did not permit the inclusion of
] t:wo components of motion simultaneously. Therefore, the effect of in-plane load to out-of-plane response was not assessed ('due'to the limitation of test machine). However it was considered in the analysis. The Licensees response
' b l
l is adequate and satisfactory.

Response 2

The Licensee stated that the duration of the test input motions has been established with consideration of the nonlinear response of the walls.
All the tir.e histories used in the testing of the wall panels were based on actual recorded earthquakes. The duration of the motion used in the test pecgram was 30 seconds for all test walls.
The Licensee's selection of the time history duration was based on the r*
following factors:

to develop individual control for the actuators has been successfully P
s completed. Therefore, the tests were performed as follows:
7 Panel type 1: The input time histories were determined frem a nonlinear O
analysis of the fuel storage building.
In the analysis, time histories at the top of the fuel pool and at the roof levels were retained and are being used as inputs to the
]
test. The motions are different for the two actuators.

Panel type 2: The stiffness of the reactor auxiliary building is such that it produces negligible amplified instructure motion and thus the same ground type motion will be used as input for both top and bottom actuators.
Panel type 3: For the, turbine bull' ding test walls, the out-of-plane.
input to the top of the walls is determined by the structural response of the turbine building, whereas the input to the base of the walls will be a ground-type
' action. The input motion at the two actuators will be different.

Question 4a [1]
y Describe how the closeness / similarity between the test walls and the insitu walls are to be assured with respect to the construction material x
and boundary conditions.
e 3;
Question 4b (2]
i f-
~
Due to the connection details between the wall and footing,'some~
~.
M rotational restraint could be developed. "his could be amplified by the
'~
rigidity of the concrete footing and testing instrumentation attached.
Therefore, the test wall may not behave as simply supported at the base
'g r
as assunied in the analysis. The possibility of crack formation and steel
.q yielding should be considered. Monitoring base deformation during
- testing is reconnended. This information could be very helpful in the correlation between the analytical model and test results.
Responses 4a and 4b Id
]
The Licensee stated that steps were taken to ensure that the similarity of the test walls and the"insitu walls was as close as reasonably possible h
even though the objective of the program did not necessitate this close similarity. To achieve similarity of construction materials, the original specification used in the construction of the insitu walls was used in the M
construction of the test panels.
The implementation of the specification was g
monitored by engineers, and samples of all construction materials were tested i
as further verification of the quality and similarity of the construction y
materials. With regard to the boundary condition similarity, t}ie Licensee indicated that the base for each of the test panels was dowelled into a
~
'?

~.
concrete base, using the same area of steel and embedment percentage as in the insitu walls. This construction assured the same boundary conditions at the base of the test panels as in the insitu walls. All of the walls considered for the nonlinear analysis had a pin connection at their tops. This
[
%.g connection was typically a ledger angle or, in the case of the turbine
,{.i building (Panel Type 3), a plate. The test panels all had connections at the
,((

as in the situ walls.
g?, g a
With, regard to the concern over the connection details between the wall 3
B and footing, the Licensee indicated that the footing and the test system m
m provided a degree of fixity at the 5ase of the test wall which was similar to
~
,, the insitu walls which all were dos?.'. led into their footings. To accomplish the monitoring of the degree of fixity at the' bottom of the test walls,
.i strains and curvatures were measured as described in Response 9.

Give detailed discussion about and justification foi major piping / equip-ment attachment simulation in terms of weights, eccentricities and locations of such attachments. Also discuss the methods in attaching these piping / equipment.
Resoonse 5 The Licensee stated that the items attached to the masonry walls considered applicable to the nonlinear analysis consist mostly of electrical i
conduit and minor items such as grounding cable, telephones, small diameter a, :g copper tubing, and other similar minor items. Due to their light weights, all O
of the above items other than the electrical conduit are not considered relevant to the test program.
In addition, piping is not considered relevant to the program since none of the masonry walls subject to the nenlinear analysis has significant piping attached to them.

TER-C5506-405 The Licensee indicated that the masonry walls in the superstructure of the fuel storage building have very little electrical conduit attached to them.
.The electrical conduit attached to these walls is all surface mounted within 1 to 2 inches of the wall surface, and the maximum weight of conduit tributary to the supports is approximately 200 pounds. Of the approximately half dozen supports with conduit weights nea'r or above 100 pounds, all but a few occur within the top or bottom third of'the wall. Therefore,,due to considerations of weight, eccentricity, location, and the low number of supports attached, electrical conduit is not considered to be relevant to the fuel storage E
building walls.
\\

p.
~
f The 17-foot-high walls of the reactor auxiliary building have fewer

attached items than the fuel storage building walls. Therefore, test wall Panel Type 2 also has no equipment attached except those instruments necessary 8

}
The 21-foot-high walls of the turbine building S ve a significant amount of attached electrical conduit in many areas. Figure E.4 shows a.particular
'i
~
support which occurs on a turbine building wall. The weight carried by this B
support is estimated to be 250 lb'and the eccentricity is 10 inches. The
~
support is located at the extreme top of the wall. The great majority of the E
.t w?,s electrical conduit supports on these walls support horizontal co Ait runs and
,7
. +;'_
occur within the top or bottom third of the wall. For testing purposes, four E
or five of these supports or similar supports within the top and/or bottom third of the wall were used. The supports and weights associated with them were configured and placed in such a manner as not to interfere with the l
testing instrumentation on the test panel. For simplicity during the analysis, it was assumed that all conduits were filled to capacity. This is not the case in reality, and the information concerning weights contained in this response is based on information gathered during the current raceway g
Q support seismic reevaluation program.

Question 6a (1,1 How are the in-structure amplified design spectra to be used in defining l
actuator's input motion determined? Procedures for verification of similarity of input actuator motions to those of in-structure design spectra should be provided.
What are the criteria for judging v-
,.,acceptablity of the similarity of the motions?
Question 6b (2) g In generating the response spectra, a nonlinear analysis is used for'th'
~
e fuel storage building, whereas a linear analysis is used for the turbine building. Why are different analyses used?
Response 6a and 6b Ji g
The Licenses provided information on.the method of determining the 5
.e.
actuator's input motion as follows:
d N
s o
For the fuel storage building test walls (Panel Type 1), the input
~b spectra were obtained from the structural response spectra cf the
.c
'j nonlinear analysis of the building since some elements on the fuel
~
storage building were predicted to be nonlinear.
P
'e o
The reactor auxiliary building was determined to respond in the rigid
.ange, and thus the spe'trum for these test walls (Panel Type 2) was
{q c
{
t.he unamplified ground motion at both top and bottom.
.r.
g o
The spectra for the turbine building test walls (Panel Type 3) were the ground spectra at the bottom of the walls.
The spectra input to j
the top of the wall was obtained from the structural response of the 4
l linear analysis of the turbine building. The structural response of g
the turbine building (as modified) was predicted and verified through g
j analysis to be linear.
With regard to the verification of the similarity of the motions, the Licensee stated that the criteria for acceptability of the similarity of the motions was that the actuator motion response spectra be as close as possible to the instructure design spectra over the frequency range of interest (frequency range from the uncracked to the fully yielded masonry walls) within the physical limitations of the actuators and their control system.
Most frequencies lower than 9'
approximately 0.3 Hs were filtered out due to the physical h
limitations of the actuator which has the capacity of 6 inches displacement and 26 in/sec velocity.
The impact of this filtering was not significant since this low frequency band (0 to 0.3 H ) is
'O outside the frequency range of interest of the walls.

representativeness has been achieved.
Resoc he '7
[
~~
The Licensee stated that the three test panels chosen'for the test Program represented those typical walls for which the response would be the largest under DBE loading. The Licensee provided the rationale for,the selection of the test panels as follows:
p o
Panel Tvoe 1 (for Fuel Storage Building Walls) 9 e-
,g This panel type was approximately 24 ft high with #7 reinforcing bars spaced at 32 in apart as vertical reinforcement and #5 bars spaced at
.g 48 in apart as horizontal reinforcement. All the walls in the fuel j
storage building which were relevant to the test program had the same configuration. All the walls were located 20 to 30 fast above grade
,7 and thus had amplified input motions. The Licensee concluded that b
Panel Type 1 therefore represents the relevant fuel storage building
. walls.
f*
v-o Panel Type 2 (for Reactor Auxiliary Building Walls)
This panel type was approximately 17 ft"high with #4 reinforcing bars h
spaced at 32 in apart as vertical reinforcement and #5 bars spaced at E
,t 48 in apart as horizontal reinforcement. This test panel represents the tallest walls in the reactor auxiliary building which had the p
same horizontal reinforcement and had a minimum of #5 bars spaced at g
48 in as vertical reinforcing. Therefore, the test panel provided equivalent reinforcing steel percentage of the actual walls.
The remaining walls in the reactor auxiliary building were approximately 6 ft shorter than the test panel and were predicted to experience very little nonlinear response due to their relatively short span.
The minimum reinforcement for these walls was the same as for the i
17-ft walls. Therefore, the Licensee concluded that Panel Type 2 was representative of the worst case of the reactor auxiliary building walls.
i;-
t..
r o
Panel Type 3 (for Turbine Building) l This panel type was approximately 20 feet high with #5 reinforcing bars spaced at 32 in apart as vertical reinforcement and #5 bars S
spaced at 48 in apart as horizontal rainforcenent. This panel type i
E-12 i
TER-C5506-405 I
~
. represented the tallest walls in the turbine building. Since all the walls in this building considered to be applicable to the test program,had the same rei'nforcing u d were of the same height or e
8 2
shorter, therefore, the Licensee concluded that panel Type 3 was representative of the worst case of the walls in the turbine b
building. A sunmary of the typical insitu walls and panel types was j

~
In response to these questions, the Licensee indicated that the pre-test prediction analyses involved removing all known sources of conservatisms from
[
~
the previous analyses which included (1) adjusting the sittent of plastic hinge i
of the rebar by modeling every joint in each wall, (2) considering the tensile strer.gth of masonry joints prior to the formation of cracking, and (3) adjusting material properties to reflect material test results for each panel type rather than using the specified minimum values.
With regard to the tensile strength of masonry joints, the Licen'see y
stated that a tension va.ue of 65 psi used in the pre-test prediction analysis n
was based on the mean value of data available from existing tests performed on g
walls with the same mortar type (type S) (4, 5].

Question 10b (2)
'/-
LVDTs have been successfully used at Drexel University and other 5 ' ','
experimental studies to measure masonry face strains. Direct measurement i
of longitudinal strain in the masonry face shells using LVDTs at critical e
sections is recommended because compressi.ve strain is one of the major criteria in evaluating the analytical model.
j e
t 4
,I Responses 10a and 10b l
The" Licenses stated that measurement of the longitudinal strain in the face shall of a masonry unit in a dynamic test of this nature was extremely
, c}
difficult because an adequate bond over the full langth of the strain gage (4
',.',,[
s.
to 6 in) must be ensured. However, the Licensee' stated that it is very difficult to ensure that an adequate bond, exists over the full length of the j
B.
.. strain gage when bonding to a surface with the roughness of a masonry unit.
.l With regaid to the reconnendation of using LVDTs, the Licenses stated l
that the compressive stra' ins were measur'ed by DCDTs, which'are similar to the B
LVDTs used at Drexel University. However, the DC'DT's primary purpose in this test was to measure curvature, for which it is believed sufficient re' solution i
exists.
For this measurement, 22'DCDTs were attached to the walls, one pair was 3
g lid located at the bottom of the wall,*cn both sides, and the remaining ten pairs L
'at 8 in on center along the wall over the points of maximum curvature as Y-h determined by the analysis results. The locations of these DCDTs are shown on e
L, Figures E.5, E.6, and E.7.
f The Licensee's response is satisfactory.
l h
Question lla (1)
Describe the means of precracking the panels and at the same time i
preventing the yielding of the rebar. How is the panel to be loaded?
Also, testing of precracked panels should proceed only after an acceptable mapping of the cracks is taken.
.)
Question lib (2) i It is stated that an attempt will be made to match cracking for
.i precracked walls and walls tested with fully intensity.
This statement seems contradictory with the last statement in the response pointing out E-19
TER-C5506-405 the difficulty in marking the cracks. At any rate, an attempt should be made to locate cracks and to mark them.
The number of cracked joints, as shown from the parametric study of the model, could have a considerable effect on the results.
'4 Ressonses lla and 11b
The Licensee indicated that there are two alternatives which may be used 5
to procrack the test panels. The first one is the application of a
displacement controlled point load at the appropriate' height'of the wall until
' cracking occurs. The second one is the application of a low amplitude
'sinuoidaldisplacementtimehistorybythetopandbottoma'ctuators. The 5
excitation displacement has.a frequency equal to the fundamental frequency of the wall.that is being procracked, therefore creating a resonant response of the wall until it cracks. However, the second alternative may be used only if o
there are unforeseen difficulties with the first method.
g
.In the case of the point load, a strong I-beam was placed against the t
wall and a hydraulic jack located betwee$t the beam and a reaction frame. This system applied a displacement controlled force normal to,the face of the _
t u wall.
During this load application, the actuator's at the top and bottom of I
.h the wall were locked in place.
Because of the nature of a displacement controlled force, it can only be' maintained at a constant level for a certain displacement as long as the stiffness of the structure remains unchanged.
Therefore, as roon as the wall cracks, the load drops to.a much lower level, thereby avoiding yielding of the rebar.
For the case of a sinusoidal displacement time history, the same principle applies. As soon as.the wall cracks, its frequency drops and excitation of the wall at its resonant frequency stops.
With regard to marking of the cracks, the Licenses stated that an attempt was made to map cracks in the test walls. The walls were whitewashed to gN enhance the ability to locate cracks.
The Licensee's responses are satisfactory.

w E
Response 13 L
The Licenses stated that the means and criteria to dispose of significant differences between tast and computer analysis results depended upon the differences, if any, that occurred between the key parameters of the g'
analytical dodel and those obtained frem the test results. The three L-following scenarios would occur:
h, E-21
._~
m_
E TER-C5506-405
{
1.
The key parameters from the test results were more conservative than those used in the analytical model.
In this case, the analytical results were conservative and therefore acceptable.
2.
The key parameters from the test results were less conservative than those used in the analytical model.
In this case, the significance and sensitivity of these less conservative results on the response of the wall was assessed. This required revision of the model and.
reanalysis of some ce all of the walls.
3.
Some of.the key parameters froin the test results were less T
conservative and some were more' conservative than those used in the d
- analytical model.
In this case, some of the walls needed to be reanalyzed to determined the overall impact of the changes in the key
[
' parameters.

[-
OnpageA-38ofSection5.1.2,AppendixAofyourResponsetoNRCRevieb f"
of Metnodology, you referred to ACI-318 regarding a method of. computing the effective moment of inertia. This method was used'in the deflection calculations of Turbine Bldg. Group I walls. Also, on page 36 of Volume d
4 " Fuel Storage Building," Fuel Storage Building wall stiffness was based I'.
on 1.5 times the cracked moment of inertia. The equations (9-7), (9-8),
~~
and (9-9) of ACI-318 code provide expressions for Ie, Mer, and fe, respectively, where Ie is the effective moment of inertia for computation of deflection, Mce is the cracking moment, and fr is the modulus of rupture of concrete.
In view of the above, provide a discussion as to whether the pertinent "fr" values for masonry wall have been used in your analysis calculations
,s and whether a number of flexural tensile strength prism tests are e
necessary in order to validate the "fr" values used in the analysis.
If E
such tests are considered unnecessary, provide the basis thereof.
E Questien 14b [2]
E A value of 1.5 I is used based on matching the model results with the g
ce Mackintosh and Dickey's test results.
First, it is only one test t'
program.
Second, the test panels were partially fixed at the base whereas analysis considers a pin support.
How did the correlation between the lead-defection curves result from 2
the model and ACI equations?

TER-C5506-405
.,a In case of an inadequate correlation between'model and experiments, a more refined model will be necessary. This may require additional information about wall stiffness and Ieffective which depends on I
cracking moment. We feel. that the flexural test provides valuable data which helps in a better understanding of wall response.
~
y
~.
Resoonses 14a and 14b i
.c The Licensee stated that the basic model used in the analysis of masonry I
walls assumed that the walls were procracked at critical locations.
This was done to ensure that conservative analytical results were obtained and that the worstconditionofthewall'was}accountedfor.
Therefore, the modulus of rupture was not used in the analytical model.
5-5 l
l..
The'value of 1.5 times the cracked moment of inertia was both developed i.
. and verified by matching the load-deflection curses taken from available test
[
Bl
,, data on masonry walls. The determination'of this value was not based on equations (9-7), (9-8), and (9-9) of the ACI-318 code. The details of the E
development and verification of this value may be found in Reference 1.
Therefore, the deflections reported in Reference 2'were not based on the.
'U:
f.-
.ACI-318 equations. The ACI-318 equations were used only in Appendix A of the
- response to the NRC review of methodology to show the correlation between the load-deflection curves resulting.from (1) the model used in the nonlinear analysis and (2) those curves resulting from the ACI-318 equations.
With regard to the correlation between the load-deflection curves
<st 8
...s resulting from the model and the ACI equations, the Licensee indicated that
.l.l{
I the deflection at yield predicted by using 1.5 Ier was in quite good agreement with the deflection predicted by assuming various ultimate tension stress
['7 I
values for the mortar. A recent evaluation performed by the Licensee showed that varying the masonry tensile strength by 50% would influence the maximum j
wall displacement by about 10.5 in 10%; therefore, the tensile strength was l
not considered an important parameter.
In the case where some of the key parameters from the test results were less conservative than those used in the
]
original analytical model, some reanalysis was necessary. However, the reanalysis was made by modification of the original model rathec than

TER-C5506-405 developing a new model. Since, for this purpose, the tensile strength was not a key parameter, the flexural tests were not deemed necessary (they will not affect the key results), the Licensee stated. However, for a full correlation the tensile strength needs to be known, further discussion regarding this
~*
subject is given in Appendiz 3.
The Licensee's responses are considered satisfactory.

Q' Question 15 (2]
..t Provide a discus'sion as to why the 200 lb electrical conduits are not included as attachments to type 1 walls.
f
,s
.g Response 15 L,..
The Licensee stated that the small amount of electrical conduit attached 9(
~ to these walls was all surface mounted, with support spacing limited to 8 ft.
g:1 The maximum weight of conduit tributary to any of these support was approximately 200 lb, which contributed to less than 2% of the wall weight.
h Moreover, the most heavily loaded conduit su'pports were found typically in the n
top or bottom third of the wall and/na iaar cross-walls. Therefore, the
.a Licensee concluded that it was r# av01 necessary to include'the electrical j
~I' conduit,in the test program.

The Licensee's response is satisfactory.

Confirm the submittal date(s) of the pretest prediction analysis and the schedule of the test program beyond the time the test program is approved by the NRC.
~
Reseonse 16 seN In response to this question, the Licensee indicated that the testing of Ed Panel Type 1 was ready by about March 14,.1983..
The complete schedule for the e':j test program was provided in the November 22, 1982 letter from K. P. Baslin to D. M. Crutchfield.

The analytical predictions for values of the natural axis position were 0.8 inches and 1.0 inches for the base and mid-height hinges, respectively. These values are measured from the extreme compression

data on each side of the joint at each time step.
From the evaluation performed, depths to the neutral axis appear to be from 1.0 to 1.4 inches at the mid-height hinge and 0.6 to 0.8 inches at the base hinge. These values correlate reasonably well with the l
analytical results and again are within the thickness of the face

o The reinforcing area is the same in the tested walls and in wall FB-5, i.e., #7 at 32 in o.c.
The tested walls has 45 dowels at 16 in

o The test walls had rebar splices at the region of the base hinges, whereas wall FB-5 has continuous rebars.
This detail for FB-5 is superior to that the tested wall for the development of a plastic hinge.
If any problems were to occur with bond, they would be

apparent in the test specimens.
