SUBJECT:
USE OF NEW HIGH STRAIN SOIL SHEAR MODULES FOR SSI ANALYSIS OF YANKEE VAPOR CONTAINER
SUMMARY
OF CONVERSATION: YAEC/NRC/CYGNA/GEI held a meeting in Bethesda on March 24 to discuss soil ultimate bearing capacity (UBc) beneath the Vapor Container (VC). At that meeting we presented results based on dynamic analysis of the VC which used horizontal soil springs and a higher shear modulus. Previous analyses of the VC had not used horizontal soil springs.
Tom Cheng requested that we generate ARS at a selected point on the VC using both the old SSI Model without horizontal springs and the new SSI model with horizontal soil springs. On March 27 Cygna telecopied the ARS plots (3 components) to YAEC and NRC.
A general understanding was reached:
1.
The new soil shear modulus was calculated based on the high soil strain value which is due to the relative large rotation of Vapor Container i
footings.
2.
This new soil shear modulus will be used for the Vapor Container SSI analysis and for the evaluation of soil bearing capacity under Vapor Container footings only.
3.
The floor response spectra generated from the new SSI analysis will be used for the MS/FW piping and support system reevaluation.
4.
Staff concern regarding the effect of softer soil springs on other analyses is resolved by this comparison.
