.1 J. - Russ Cygna Required item . Comments Action By Cygna asked what flexual allowable was used for angle members.

E- Ebasco ' stated that ' an allowable of 0.6 Fy was used. They recognized that this. allowable was higher than those predicted by the Australian code requirements, and in the 3rd edition of " Basic

. Steel Design" by B.G. Johnston, FJ. Lin and T.V. Galambos.

t However, Ebasco noted that the angle braces responded mainly as ,

compressive members so that changing the flexual allowables would  ;

. not affect the member interaction. Ebasco provided Cygna with the above-referenced text for review.  ;

L Ebasco models their angle brace members as pin-ended truss elements. Impell's study 'on the consideration of connection

. eccentricities concluded ~ that boundary conditions at the member

.end played ; a' significant . role 'on the behavior of the angle.

Specifically, Impell concludes that fixing the angle rotations will provide the more conservative approach. Cygna asked Ebasco to comment on Impell's study. Ebasco replied that since the angles behave mostly as axial members, a pin-ended condition would be conservative. This conservatism results from the softening of the

, structure which would result in higher loads. Cygna asked if a L

I study was performed to examine the change in response. Ebasco

- rephed that there was not.

. Cygna . asked ho.w ' Ebasco handled the analysis of. the welds k

connecting a base angle to 'an embedded plate. Ebasco stated that 1 such .: a configuration would - be considered a ' special case and analyzed usirig FEM techniques.

..Cygna asked what action was being taken with regard to support 3136 ' which was mounted. within a fire wall. Ebasco stated that

. they are following the new procedures listed in the public meeting of 21 April 1987. Ebasco's work is presently in progress. They will report the attachment loads to SWEC per procedure.

. . Ebasco provided Cygna with a list of longitudinal trapeze supports T.. for ' which the : calculations were complete. It was ' noted that supports 5 and 6 were incorrectly labeled as longitudinal and are.

'in reality transverse supports. In order to select the supports for review, Cygna asked Ebasco for 'the number of levels with trays on U2, U3, and U4 supports.

Russ Cygna ' Required item comments Acton By i In regard to Cygna's concons on the use of COMBS program for support posts that are composite channels, and spacer channels on top of tier members, Ebasco provided Cygna with the calculations for supports CTH-1-4371 (composite posts) and CTH 1245 (spacer channels). Cygna will review these calculations. Ebasco and Cygna discussed Cygna's concerns on the eccentricity assumption for longitudinal clamps with two bolts. Ebasco stated that they had examined the connection previously and decided that the eccentricity was appropriate. They stated that if a pinned connection was assumed at the clamp / tier interface, which Ebasco . asserted was conservative, the moment transfer through ,

                          ' the clamp / tray bolts would occur.      Additionally, Ebasco stated                      i that the RSM analyses had shown that the torsional moment due                              8 to longitudinal loads in the tier were smaller than those predicted by the ESM assumptions. Cygna stated that they would                            1 review Ebasco's response.

Cygna asked about the connection between the tier and the tray )

                          ^ in RSM analyses. Ebasco stated that they used a rigid link from the tier centroid to the tray centroid with a spring at the connection. Impell stiffness values were used for the spring.                          4 Ebasco stated that they did not differentiate between one and two bolt clamps.       Ebasco provided a calculation on the node requirements . for loaded tiers and brace members for Cygna's review during the audit.

[ Pat Harrison - Ebasco L  : John Russ Cygna Required item Comments Action By j Cygna asked how changes to the STRUDL skeletons, which are . used b.y . the analyst m setting up support calculations, were controlled. Ebasco stated that whenever the skeleton was revised due to changes 'in the program version or criteria requirements, the affected personnel were trained as required by the Ebasco QA program. " Cosmetic" changes, i.e., those that would affect the form of the skeleton and not the content, were not affected by , this training .. requirement. The production engineers were instructed not to keep a supply of skeletons in their desk drawers so that they.would always use the most current skeleton. Group

                                           . leaders were notified of changes to the skeleton via memorandum.

L Cygna noted that the WARPCC program calls the COMBS program.  ; Therefore, the verification of WARPCC must include all options 1 used by COMBS. Ebasco stated that field personnel used standard 6" rules, 25' steel tapes and calibrated vernier calipers when measuring bolt holes. TUE/050187-A. CON 4 signea. G

Williams (phone) Cygna Required item Cornments Action By This communications report documents the exit meeting for the Ebasco cable tray . audits. The status of all audit findings to date were presented. Base Plate Modeling Error During a previous audit, Cygna noted modeling errors for the baseplates of cantilevered supports, where the forces and moments

                                  .were calculated at the member shear center rather than at the
                                  . member centroid. . This results in an unconservative set of moments, as the baseplate eccentricity is reduced by applying the forces at the shear center.

In the subsequent response, Ebasco stated that all the errors had occurred in RSM analyses (there are no errors of this kind in the

                                  ~ ESM analyses) and that all instances had been identified and would be corrected. Ebasco had also retrained their RSM analysts to eliminate the problem.- Upon further review, Cygna noted that several support _ types which may be affected by the error were not checked by the Ebasco review, Cygna had notified Ebasco of these additional support types and they stated they would correct any affected analyses.

                              .Cygna noted two instances of improper support grouping:

CTH-1-1888 is categorized as an "L" . type support. It is actually an "LW" type support. Cygna was given a list of longitudinal support types to choose candidates for audit. Two of the supports on the list

                                        .were transverse supports.
                              ' At - this point, Cygna noted that Ebasco seemed to be somewhat e                                careless in . the support grouping and the baseplate error backfit review. Ebasco asked if Cygna was concerned about the lack of detail in the support database. Cygna did not think that that was u                                 an . issue, . but asked whether the database had been checked.
                              . Ebasco . replied that it had; however, the check had not been documented : in a calculation.      Ebasco will verify the checking procedure used.
                                - Attachment Z Loads Cygna had asked Ebasco how Attachment Z loads are implemented with respect to grouped supports. Ebasco has not completed the Attachment Z procedure.

Tier Member Bendine Due' To Vertical Eccentricity of Transverse Loads Cygna reviewed two sample analyses performed to address the impact of applying transverse loads at the top of a tier member

                                - rather than .at the centroid of the cable tray. In both cases, the Ltier members were rotated such that the web of the channel was horizontal,'with the opening pointing downward. There were two comments on the analyses.

In one analysis, the sign of the applied moment should have been reversed when the load was moved from the top of the tier to the centroid of the' tray, since the load was moving to the other side of the shear center. In the other analysis, the bending stress due to all loads was found

                                - to increase .only 3%, which is deemed insignificant. If the bending stress due to. transverse load only is considered, the increase is 66%.

Although that contribution is small, the increase on total bending h stress is dependent on the relative magnitudes of the transverse and vertical loads. Kinematic Condensation Cygna asked Ebasco to explain the kinematic condensation study. Ebasco stated .that the study compares the frequency of three

            ):                    supports- without kinematic condensation to the reduced frequency at the' conduit attachment location using kinematic condensation.

In two' of the three models, the frequency with kinematic condensation closely matched the first mode frequency without

                                 ' kinematic condensation. In the third inodel, the frequency with                              i kinematic condensation was between the first and second mode F                                  frequencies without kinematic condensation. Ebasco explained that the first mode had little mass participation;- therefore, the conduit                            .

attachment point responds at a higher frequency with kinematic l condensation. I Cygna asked Ebasco how they knew that the kinematic condensation was proper. Ebasco stated that their experience tells them that the method is acceptable. Cygna asked Ebasco how they determine i which modes are more significant than others. Ebasco explained that they calculated the relative response of a mode by multiplying the mass participation factor by the magnitude of the eigenvector at j the point of attachment.

description of the results of the. kinematic condensation study with three models. i Multimode' Resoonse Multiolier Cygna has reviewed the multimode response multiplier (MRM) (= ' development calculations .in Books 9,10, (the original MRM study) and .15 (ESM/ESML Attachment Y derivation) and has had several comments on whether the. analysis models used ere representative of all Jsystems at CPSES.. Cygna provided Ebasco with a list of L their comments and concerns regarding the work reviewed to date. This list is provided'in Attachments A and B.

Ebasco agreed ' with Cygna that the calculations in Book 15 were not specifically performed to address'the MRM issue. Book 15 was generated to develop the Attachment Y corrections for longitudinal loads. . Ebasco stated' that they had performed further analyses
                                .which extend the parametric studies presented in Book 15, such that they .would ' address Cygna's concerns - regarding the representative r                           nature of the models. In the new study, additional variations in support stiffness and spans are investigated. Criteria are developed to provide screening of.- the cable tray systems and to provide corrections to the loads when necessary (SAG-CP-28).

In addition to the expanded Book 15 study, Ebasco is also updating Books ,9 and 10. MRMs for an actual system are 'being generated in Book ' 23. Ebasco stated that, in general, the components of the MRM. argument are being revised such that they may be presented in . a cohesive manner. The final' product will be available for Cygna's review at a later date. l

                            .Cygna stated ;that Ebasco had provided .them with a study using NASTRAN - analyses to compare with the STRUDL analyses and methods used on ; the project.         Cygna had some difficulty in reviewing the study, and discovered that a reference was missing in L the copy .they received.

                           . member evaluations only.           Clamps are not covered in the attachment. Cygna has no questions at this time.

Spacer Channels On Tier Members Ebasco provided- analyses on this item on the previous day. Cygna review is required. K-Factors For Compressive- Allowables Ebasco presented a study for a transverse support. For this particular support, the out-of-plane direction controls the

                            . compressive allowables for the post members; however, the in.
                            . plane- direction controls the bending allowable per AISC Equation 1.6-la. ' Therefore, the use of a higher k factor for the in-plane

Therefore, the Ebasco sample does not appear to be representative w .'of the actual CPSES population, as Cygna believes that the majority of supports are transverse supports.

p lthe hanger sample size to the number of holes on those hangers. - For each. attribute ' studied, the population would be different. This E also may detract from the randomness of the samples. Cygna asked Ebasco to address this aspect of the study. l i Despite.- Cygna's concerns regarding the sample' population, the methods appeared to be acceptable. Regarding the applicability of e the' cable tray study' to the' conduit scope, Cygna asked Ebasco to provide . additional justification that the different craft groups,  ; operating under different installation tolerances, would perform , installations of similar ' bolt hole oversize. Additionally, conduit supports use base plates and cable tray supports use base angles. With regard to the general measurement tolerances, Impell and Ebasco will be submitting a joint position statement on how tolerances are to be considered. Cygna has concerns regarding the i evaluation of tolerances provided in Book 16: the cases considered seem to be arbitrarily chosen and do not envelop all configurations C , at the plant. Justification for the use' of . these cases was not provided. Ebasco had' requested that Cygna provide - them with a list. of tolerances which were of concern. Cygna reviewed the measurement tolerances and provided Ebasco with a list of critical tolerances.

There is also an example of a 5/16" weld on.the web of the C6x8.2 (base metal thickness concerr), although a 3/16" weld was' used in the weld ' calculation because part of the weld was inaccessible. The use of k = 1.0 may not be adequate for the in-plane sidesway L of supports with posts rotated such that the weak axis bending is l~ induced by sidesway. Are the buckling study results appropriate for out-of-plane loading when supports are oriented in this manner? In the evaluation of support CTH-1-481, end eccentricities are not considered. . Only axial loading is checked. The base angle l evaluation does not maximize anchor bolt loads. L Support CTH-1-5234 is a multi-tiered trapeze support approximately - 10'-9" tall, with heavy duty clamps and posts rotated such that strong axis bending is induced by out-of-plane loads. The code check for the post members uses effective lengths Lv = 129" (weak axis) and Lz = default to member length (strong axis). These values appear to be reversed from actual values needed. For the determination of whether the posts are " tension members" (Fa < 0.5Fa), the slenderness ratios kx = ky = 1.0 were used. Cygna stated that the k factors should be changed to match the current criteria. l L SEE ATTACHED DISTRIBUTION SHEET. 11 15 1020 0 t b

                                                             . most. supports . of identical stiffness.          Includes                !

straight lines, elbows, tees.

b. Support stiffnesses are chosen by frequency, which is
                                                             . somewhat dependent on tray properties. Only one S, .-         ,

tray ' size and weight is used. Affects cut off stiffness selection. c.- It is obvious that- the high longitudinal DLF is due to mass distribution effects due to relative support stiffness. Ebasco assumes that the excessive DLFs in the. transverse / vertical directions are due to equal / unequal span effects, but since only one

                                                               " unequal" span model was used, this assumption could not be verified.            The high DAFs in the transverse / vertical directions are also probably due to relative support stiffness and span supports.
2. ESML Distribution
a. Approach looks OK, reasonable. Need more models to test it on, however.
b. Discussion of combination of 3-D effects is not meaningful, since each direction produces different responses and must remain separate from the other two.
c. Discussion of margins in stresses / loads with respect to exceeding the 1.25 MRM is not valid, as the determination of an MRM should be independent of response magnitude.

A. Base Angles. o Cygna.. will perform an . additional review of Impell Project Instruction PI-07 :and Calculation M-15 for consistency. o Impell's assumptions on local vs. global' behavior: Impell neglects eccentricities since they will have a minor affect on the global system response. o' Cygna noted . that in the January 26, 1987 meeting transcripts Impell stated that they used principal axes for base angles, but Calculation M.15 shows that they use geometric axes. Impell responded that the transcripts should have indicated that they used principal axes for BASEPLATE U analyses, and - geometric axes for hand calculations. , They will also investigate the concern with the SRSS ' combination stresses. o Cygna will review Impell Calculation M-25 with regard to base angles with multiple attachments.

Cygna asked if the ' compactness criteria stated in the white paper will be included in Project Instruction PI-03. Impell responded that' the next revision of PI03 will include the compactness criteria. m

2. Specific directions are not given for the selection of Cm for the member SUPERPOST interaction or in hand e calculations.quation for use in Thus, members are not scanned for maximum moments.

Impell will provide guidance on this in a revision to PI 03,

3. Use of geometric radius of gyration is allowed by PI-11 to reduce support modifications dictated solely by slenderness ratio limits. Impell will remove this from l-PI11.

4.' Sample member interaction rates are provided in the white paper. Impell indicated that the member forces used in this o sample are the SSE load case but the OBE (unfactored) allowable compressive stress is used to show that sufficient margin account buckling exists. This is i-illustrated on a plot included in the white paper. D. Imoell White Paoer on Base Angles Welded to Embedded Plates Impell will provide Cygna with the back-up calculations associated with this white paper. Cygna beHeves that they had located a base angle configuration with multiple support attachments where the total of the reactions was apphed to the entire length of the weld pattern without considering the flexibility of the long base angle in distributing the loading. Y Impell indicated that they were not familiar with such a configuration, but if Cygna would provide the support 1 number, they would investigate. 5Eb Ai1 ACHED DISTRIBUTION SHEET Page 3 o' 8 to20.01b

believes that the methods used may not be correct. Cygna will provide detailed comments later. F. Unsuooorted I2nnth for Lateral-Torsional-Buckline in Posts L Impell Project Instruction PI-11 allows a reduction in the unsupported lengths for posts in order to reduce the volume , of overstressed posts. It is assumed that the tiers will provide bracing to inhibit lateral-torsional buckling. Cygna L was unable to locate any documentation supporting this. The tiers may not be capable of providing compression flange bracing, specifically on tall, narrow trapeze supports. Cygna will provide more detailed comments later, when its review is completed. G. Twist-byckling of Single Angl_eji Impell has performed a literature search, and even checked with Professor Galambos, and has been unable to locate any evaluations which address twist buckling of single angles. The closest study they have located is in Timoshenko's

                                    " Theory of Elastic Stability," which contains an evaluation of the torsional buckling of a cruciform section loaded uniformly at each end. Nothing addresses angles loaded through the opposite legs at either end. Impell believes that this phenomenon is more closely related to a column with eccentrically applied loads than twist buckling.

Impell will attempt to answer this concern through a sample illustrating the very low stress levels present in the single angles. This will demonstrate a sufficiently high safety margin so that twist buckling will not need to be included explicitly. H. Seismic Load Combination Study (Imoell Calculation M-49)

L Time History vs. Response Spectral Analyses Impell Calculation M-49 compares the results of a time history analysis added algebraically with the dead load to the results of a response spectrum analysis combined with the dead load by the method specified for production work.

2. Sample of Cygna's Concern  !

system. However, the load combination method will give l

         '4                                     different - results depending on the' coordinate axis                                                 l
                                              ' orientation.- Cygna provided a sample considering a
           ; -                                ' simple cantilever _ support. The stress interaction ratio will be different if the po. itive s      global x-axis points to the left or the right.

Impell felt that this was a special case, and would not l cause'any problem, since it is dependent on the relative magnitude of the dead load with respect to the seismic load and generally the dead load contribution is very small. The time history analysis' also capture the 1 _ phasing between the three directions of load application l while noting that the - SRSS spatial combination used with the response spectra is very conservative.

3. Loads on Base Angles Cygna asked if the loads for the anchorage evaluations were taken directly from the SUPERPIPE analyses, or if they enveloped from the load combinations. Impell will investigate which load is chosen and respond later.

Requred nom . commena . Action ey o For the web crippling evaluation, the applied load is assumed to be distributed over a distance equal to the width of the tray siderail flange which is very thin. Cygna stated that it would be more reasonable to consider the loading only over the thickness of the siderail ' web. Impell agreed that this was correct, but pointed out that since this study applies to longitudinal supports, the vertical load is actually applied through the bolted or welded heavy duty clamp and not the siderail, so the load could be distributed over the thickness of the tray clamp. In addition, the calculation uses the full capacity of a clamp as the applied load, while clamp 3 loads are typically much less. ' 0 Cygna also noted that since the tray siderail is much , thinner then the web of the tier, web crippling of the ' siderail would govern this evaluation.

                                             . Impell -indicated that they are not evaluating local effects in the cable trays. Tray qualification is based on ultimate design, therefore, web crippling in the tray siderail - would not adversely affect the tray functionality.
                                             .Impell' will review = the web crippiing calculations and                       I provide clarification to respond to Cygna's concerns.

Cygna can review the tray qualification test report at f! Impell's office to resolve concerns on tray behavior at ultimate loading. J. Refined Out-of-olane Bending of Tiers (Imoell Calculation M-57) This calculation supports a procedure in Impell Project Instruction PI-11. which allows a reduction in the out-of-plane bending moment in loaded tiers. This is based on the , consideration that the tray will actually apply loads to the l tier at the two points corresponding to the clamp locations l rather than at the tray ' centerline, as assumed in the SUPERPIPE models. Impell Calculation M-57 considered load applications to a beam with two possible boundary conditions- (a) simply supported and (b) fixed ended.

                                  ' feasible, so seven cases were. checked, considering various combinations of. tray width, tier length and tray location.

By performing a more systematic study, Cyina determined . that the .seven cases checked by Impell dx not represent the wont case. If the tray is located very near one end 'of the tier, the midspan moment actually increases if the load { p is split between two points. Also, the end moments on the  ! L tier exhibit a different trend from the mid-span moment. , i Cygna asked if a study had been performed to determine if i the appropriate end conditions for the tier (i.e., is case (a) j or 48"(b) andmore representative?) 60" tier Jengths were c hosen.Cygna also asked .why only J l Impell indicated that they would check with the originator i of the L calculations to see what 'the basis is for the j parameters chosen.

3. Bolt Holes in Channel Flannes (Imoell Calculation M-65)

Impell assumes that an unused 3/4 inch diameter hole can occur at any location on the tier. Bolt holes are not considered for posts.

4. K-factor for Tension Members Impell uses the same values for the k-factor for tension ,

members as for compression members. i

5. Cable Trav Siderail Extensions Impell's position is' that the L added weight of the siderail extension. is insignificant with respect to the total tray weight and does not need to be considered. Neglecting the l stiffness contribution of the siderail extensions will I compensate for their weight in the stress evaluation for the l cable trays.

Cygna noted that Impell Calculation M-39 indicates that the , 3 psf allowance for the future cable routing was used to i offset the added weight of the siderail extensions. I Justification is not provided for this approach. If siderail j

                                                 -extensions are present, the full allowance is not available for future cable additions.                                                    -

I However, TU Electric is in the process of developing a new  ! cable tracking system. When this system is completed, it l will be . used to verify the weights used in the system analyses and to track the addition of new cables.

                                                    . Reference 2), presents and compares results based on "truly random" and "(truly random + remainder) = all samples".

y. 11llllllllll11111111!!ll111111 Requred item Comments Action By Cygna's review of Reference 2, however, does not substantiate this. Reference 2 .makes no mention of the sample size on which its results are based nor does it contain comparisons on the basis of sample size.

l Furthermore, Cygna asked what the basis was for the I,

                                                                                                                " arbitrary"                                                           selection         of   the                                 " remainder", i.e.,  227-93, supports. (See page 2 of Reference 3.)

1.2 Cygna accepts the Ebasco response No. 2 in Reference 1. 1.3 Cygna noted that the calculations, i.e., Reference 3, now appropriately report the results in terms of the numbers of 1 hangers. However, the following two clarifications are l I needed: l o On page 23 of' Reference 3, is C = 3 the number of hangers or holes exceeding the criteria? - o Where does C = 3 on page 23 of Reference 3 come from? 1.4 With reference to the applicability of cable tray support results to conduit oversize bolts, Cygna stated that there was insufficient evidence to accept the Ebasco response, and proposed to defer the resolution of this issue to a future conduit audit. ' The second document discussed was Reference 2. Cygna's questions and comments on Reference 2 are as follows: 2.1 How does Table 1 of Reference 2 allow the conclusion on page 3 of Reference 2: 'Thus, the probability of two bolts having the maximum oversize " 7 Cygna was concerned that the quoted statement, as it is, could be used to justify any bolt hole oversize. 22 With reference to Table 1 of Reference 2, the " oversize" for 1",1 1/4", and 1 1/2" diameter holes are all based on a single calculation on page 23 and the table on page 13 of Reference 3. The statistical evaluations should have treated each bolt size separately. Far more violations were found for 1" diameter bolts than the other two. 23 The calculations supporting the effect of bolt hole oversize (Section 5.0 and beyond of Reference 2) were not available for review. The ANSYS non-linear time history analysis and Unit 1 Hilti bolts inventory study, for example, could not be audited. Page of SEE A'ITACHED DISTRIBUTION SHFFT ' 4 1020.01b

This is justified citing conservatism inherent in the DV effort, e.g., generally low interaction ratios, conservative 1 analysis methods (response spectrum method), etc. Have

    ,                                       these conservatism or margms been used up elsewhere?                                           {

Additionally, please substantiate the low interaction values. q l 2.7 With reference to Paragraph (e) on page 18 of Reference 2, I does the reduced safety factor calculation consider the total ) oversize or (oversize - 1/16 in.), take credit for the AISC l allowable? 2.8 -.Re.ferences 2 and .3 are not included as references in the TU l Electric CPSES Generic Issues Report (GIR), Revision 2. 1

                                          'Instead GIR, Revision 2 references the Impell studies and ANCO system test reports for use in bolt hole oversize issue resolution.

In response, Ebasco stated that Impell and Ebasco will work together to incorporate Ebasco's work into the future revisions of the GIR. 29 The last sentence of Section 53 on page 20 of Reference 2 states that ratio of the " gapped"-to."ungapped" response measured during the ANCO system tests varies between 0.5 and 1.5 with an average of 033. This is not consistent with the conclusion that the " gapped" response will be lower than the "ungapped" response. Furthermore, ANCO's test a report . does not explicitly contain the " capped"-to-  !

Participants:

. of P. Harrison, R.A. Keilbach Ebasco B. Shakibnia, J. Russ Cygna Required j ttem Comments Action By 4 Partial Penetration Groove Weld Qualification Cygna stated that they have two concerns dealing with the partial penetration groove welds on skewed hints. The first concern is on the effective throat thickness anc the second concern is on weld qualification. With regards to the first concern, Cygna stated that the effective

                               - throat thickness used in design is 0.5t of the bevelled member.

Cygna has reviewed the justification for this assumption (Ebasco Interoffice Correspondence, 3/4/87), and agrees with it. Additionally, due to recent inspections, Ebasco has reduced the j effective throat thickness used in design from 0.5t to 0.4t of the bevelled members which is still acceptable to Cygna. J l

                               'On the, weld qualification, Cygna asked whether it is adequate to                                                                           i represent the skewed joints (with unbevelled members) by T-joints (with bevelled members), in order to show their prequalification.                                                                            !

welding for both is the same, and the groove angle for T-Joint is analogous to brace angle from the perpendicular. Therefore, skewed .. joints L with partial penetration groove welds are considered to be prequalified. Also note that the Brown & Root testing included tensile tests.

1. - Generic Evaluations )

i The cable tray support modelling technique was initially evaluated by comparing the results of detailed NASTRAN models with those for the simpler STRUDL models used in production. The results of these comparisons are documented in-Volume I, Book 2, Subject 10. , l Using the data from this source, Ebasco prepared the response by comparing the axial stress in the tier reported in the NASTRAN results with those from STRUDL Since the application point for transverse loads only affects the axial load in the tier, this comparison can be used to quantify the impact of the i modelling technique used. l i signed:.

Fore the representative trapeze type hanger chosen, the axial stress in the. tier contributes less than 5% . to the total member stress interaction ratio. Since the axial stress generally does not govern the design of the tiers

                                                          ,(flexural stress is more significant), Ebasco considers the-effect of the axial stress to be insignificant.

p ', t Cygna. agreed, but noted that' the 5% increase in stress

g

2. ~ Individual Support Evaluations L

To == the~ significance of the axial' load in the tier on actual . supports, a' comparison was performed for a , number of support analyses. '. Since the modelling i technique used in RSM models correctly predicts the tier axial stress,' supports from the. RSM models were chosen. Eight out of forty-three-RSM models were selected, giving a total of' 95 hangers for review. These ' included transverse, longitudinal and multidirection supports. The sample ' selection was based on engineering judgement i rather than random sampling. p For these 95 supports, the axial stress interaction ratio: 1 Fa o was tabulated. The maximum interaction value found was 0.043. This agrees with the value of 5% found in the E generic evaluation. Based on the review, Ebasco concluded that magnitude of the axial stresses in tiers is insignificant with respect to the total stress interaction ratio, and need not be considered. Ebasco indicated . that, during the early stages of the cable tray hanger design review, the axial stresses were hand calculated for the tiers and added to the results of the STRUDL ' analyses for ESM. This approach was abandonded, since the magnitude of the stress was very small,' and this reduced the amount of hand calculations necessary for each support. t i l l l Page of SEE ATTACHED DISTRIBUTION SHEET 2 4 1020.016 LL_a.--_____-____

Since all angle brace members are modelled as truss elements, only axial load is provided in the STRUDL output. The bending moment is calculated based on. the eccentricity between the gusset plate centerline and the center of one leg of the brace (see sheet 2 of SAG.CP 34).

The gusset plate is analyzed as a beam, with the cross-sectional i area: and section modulus calculated based on the full width of the plate. For braces which are skewed relative to the plate, the applied loads are transformed into the geometric axes of the gusset plate. 1 The weld between the gusset plate and the support member is evaluated using the axial load and calculated bending moment. !

Ebasco indicated that since the applied loadmg was' in the plane of the channel web (baseplate in w,<                 ,       ,             ,
                                                         .model), the concrete substrate generated by STRUDL would have no effect on the analysis.

J Ebasco indicated that the selection. was based on judgment rather ]

          ,                                 than being a random statistical sample. The sample was intended to

Both in-plane and out of-plane braces were selected. l Braces in trapeze and triangular type supports were selected. j Braces covering the range of lengths found at CPSES (18" to )j 200") were selected. Braces with high slenderness ratios (up to 200) were selected. The conclusion drawn in these calculations is that the effect of member self weight inertial loads for braces is not significant.

axial stress allowables due to'the twist-buckling phenomenon. This is found in' Attachment V. It is based on equations provided by Gaylord and Gaylord's structural analysis book.- N- _Cygna ; provided a brief introduction to the ~ twist ' buckling study

                                                . performed in their Boston office. This study addressed three loading conditions for the angle section:

1 1.' . I. cad applied through center of gravity of the one leg. Loading i on.same leg at each end. -

     .                                           2.   - Load applied through center of gravity of one leg. Loading on -

opposite leg at each end.-

3. Load applied through center of gravity of total section.

Cygna found that the results for' cases 1 and 3 show good agreement with, the theoretical developments provided in engineering textbooks. However, Cygna -'was unable to ' locate any theoretical treatment of Case 2. Case 2 showed a significantly reduced buckling load due_ to the combined 'effect of the axial load and the twisting introdumd through the loading applications points.

                                                - Cygna believes that Case 2 results in an interaction ok axial load and

11. . Inclusion of Waroine Normal Stresses in RSM Analysis '

During: Cygna's audit in June '1987, Ebasco had indicated that the ,

                                      . STRUDL stress check used ' for RSM analysis did not include the                                                 ,

warping uormal stresses. . To account for these' structures, Ebasco limited the normal stress interaction ratio to 0.70. Calculations were provided.to' justify this method. However, this limiting value.was not

included in the' applicable design criteria or procedures. Cygna asked Lif this approach was now included in the procedures.
Ebasco indicated 'that- they now use a more refined approach. The
s. interaction ratio limit of 0.70 is now used as the cutoff for a detailed stress evaluation summary for STRUDL After the STRUDL stress check is completed, each member subject to torsion is individually checked by ' hand for the effect of the warping normal stresses.

Reference:

" Justification for Applying Vertical Load at Centerline of Channel Web Rather than at Bolt Location," dated 3/10/87.

Cygna and Ehasco discussed the referenced calculations. This calculation evaluates the load application point of the vertical cable- tray load as a function of the direction of the vertical load. (See Figure 3.) The torsional moment, Mx, in the tier is calculated for each direction of loading, considering enveloping vertical acceleration, a multimodal response multiplier (MRM) of 1.25 and the directional aspect

                                               - of gravity loading.

i J The evaluation indicated the value of Mx due to downwards loading governed for OBE loads. However, for SSE loads, i the upward load may govern at certain building elevations. For the SSE load, shear stresses were calculated in an

                                               - attempt to show that, even though upwards loading governed (which is not considered in the design verification of individual supports), the tier would not be overstressed.

1 Cygna asked several questions on these calculations-

1. Gage Distance J p The eccentricity used to calculate the torsional l l

moment, Mx, for upwards seismic loads includes the > standard gage distance, g, for the section being

(the same as bending allowable) is. increased by 1.6 for 0 the SSE load case. This does not adhere to the limit of 0.9 Fy for the SSE load case.

Though this is - the maximum tray width for an 1 ind_ividual tray, a greater load would be introduced on a . support with multiple trays (e.g., . two - 24 inch Ltrays). How is this considered? 4 Ebasco indicated that they had not considered this condition.

[' 6. The seismic loadings considered in this study are based on MRM.= 1.25. Cygna understands that the current

                                            'MRM validation effort has shown that larger values are
                                            ; possible, (SAG.CP.23). How is this treated in the study?

Ebasco indicated that since . this study 'was ' performed prior to the development of SAG.CP28, an MRM = 1.25 was acceptable at that time.

7. Effect of' Longitudinal Connectivity
                                            . In light of the development of Attachment Z to SAG.CP34 (consideration _of longitudinal connectivity on transverse supports), ;the tiers of transverse cable tray supports will be subjected to torsional moments from longitudinal loading in addition to the moment from
                                            > vertical loading considered in this- study. Will this
loading have an impact > on the conclusions ' of this mA study? -

Ebasco has not assessed this but - believes that the

                                            - impact     would not be significant.           Since   the
longitudinal load induced torsion would be the same for both upwards and downward loading, it should reduce the ratio 'of the total torsion for the two loading directions.
8. Resolution of Concerns -

7 ' Ebasco noted that the. combined impact of all the Cygna's concerns on the results of this study may make it impossible' to show acceptability on a generic

                                            . basis if all are incorporated in the study. If this is                     ;

the' case, would Cygna accept an evaluation of the  ; torsion in. tiers on a sampling basis, using the results

          <                                  for selected actual supports, to show that the sue of downward load only is adequate.

Cygna has no objection to this if the sampling is done I correctly. Cygna will discuss this and provide Ebasco with a response later.  ; j

                                        ; of the design criteria as- the design verification effort evolves. Once the design criteria has been finalized, will special. studies and other supporting documentation be i reviewed 6 to assure consistency with all design .

requirements? Ebasco indicated that they. have not yet formulated a plan -to address this concern. Cygna's question will be considered and a response will be provided later.
