P.O. Box 300, Lafayette Road Seabrook, NH 03874 Project 170444 - License Amendment Request & NRC Review Support, NextEra Energy Seabrook Station, Seabrook, NH Reference - Evaluation of Containment Enclosure Ventilation Area (CEVA),
Calculation 160268-CA-055HY (FP101122), 22 March 2017 Document Number: 170444-L-001
Dear Mr. Carley:
The structural evaluation of the Containment Enclosure Ventilation Area (CEVA), referenced above, showed that its north wall between EL +3 and +19 ft was bowed outward with a maximum out-of-plumbness of 1.25 in., measured during SGH field observation in February 2017. The referenced calculation showed that the wall can move by an additional 25% (reaching to 1.5 in.
at the point of maximum bowing) before conducting a more robust analysis or repairing the wall becomes necessary.
The bowing limit of 1.5 in. was calculated conservatively in the referenced calculation by neglecting the compression reinforcement in calculating the moment-curvature behavior of the wall. The limit of bowing is recalculated as shown in Attachment A considering the compression reinforcement in the moment-curvature calculation, and including the effects of upward vertical movement of CEVA. The upward movement of CEVA can impose vertical tension in the north wall of CEVA. Accordingly, moment-curvature relationships are calculated at different levels of tension.
At each level of axial force, a limiting curvature is determined to avoid unacceptable behavior. As explained in Attachment A, the curvature value of 0.003 1/in. corresponds either to the buckling of compression reinforcement (for cases with low level of axial tension) or rupture of tension reinforcement (for cases with high level of axial tension). Conservatively, 90% of this curvature value (0.0027 1/in.) is selected for computing the maximum bowing that the wall can resist.
The computed moment-curvature relationships are assigned to a finite element model of the wall, and nonlinear analyses are performed to determine the lateral displacement at which the curvature of the wall at the point of maximum bowing reaches the limiting curvature. Figure A2 in Attachment A shows that 2 in. of lateral wall deformation induces curvature of 0.0027 1/in. in the wall with a low level of axial force, while the same displacement induces curvature of 0.0023 1/in.
in the wall with a high level of axial tension. Therefore, the wall can resist a lateral bowing of 2 in.
Mr. Edward Carley - Project 170444 6 November 2017 Document No. 170444-L-001 Revision 0 before buckling or rupture of the vertical reinforcement will occur (with 10% margin), and it is recommended that the wall be retrofitted prior to it experiencing 2 in. of bowing.
The site visit report (170444-SVR-01-R0, FP101192-00) for the recent measurements indicates that the wall moved outward since the previous measurements; bulging has increased to 1-7/16 in. Additionally, at a localized area, hammer sounding indicated portions of the concrete cover potentially susceptible to separation, especially at areas with larger horizontal cracks. Therefore, sensitive equipment or processes should be protected against possible falling pieces of concrete cover from this wall before it is retrofitted.
Sincerely yours, Said Bolourchi Michael Mudlock, P.E.

SUBJECT:
Evaluation of Additional Displacement for the North Wall of CEVA VERIFIER: I. Baig ATTACHMENT A MOMENT CURVATURE RELATION FOR THE CEVA NORTH WALL A1. REVISION HISTORY Revision 0: Initial document.
A2. OBJECTIVE OF CALCULATION The objective of this calculation is to compute moment-curvature diagrams for the north wall of Containment Enclosure Ventilation Area (CEVA) structure subjected to different tensile force.
A3. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS Figure A2 presents moment-curvature diagram for the wall section subjected to different tensile force. As can be seen from the figure, by increasing the magnitude of tensile force, the failure mode changes from compressive rebar buckling to tensile rebar rupture. For all cases, the point of severe damage initiation approximately corresponds to curvature value of 0.003 (1/in.). Accordingly, this point is selected as a limiting curvature and the wall is allowed to deform up to this curvature.
Figure A3 provides a comparison between two cases, one with accounting for the effect of compressive rebars and the other one without considering the compressive rebars. As can be seen from the figure, including the resistance offered by compressive reinforcement does not affect the ultimate capacity noticeably, however, it increases the ductility of a section.

A6. METHODOLOGY To calculate the moment-curvature diagrams, sectional analysis based on fiber section method for integrating over the cross section is used. In this method, the cross section is discretized into fibers (or layers subjected to unidirectional bending), and an appropriate material model is assigned to each fiber.
Figure A1 demonstrates a typical fiber section discretization. In this study, each section is discretized into 20 fibers/layers. The concrete material is represented by Kent and Park [A5] model in compression and Stevens exponential softening model in tension [A3]. Reinforcing steel bars are modeled using elastic perfectly plastic material with strain cutoff of 0.007 in tension and accounting for inelastic buckling model of Kashani et al. [A4] in compression.
Moment-curvature diagrams are then calculated for axial tension of 0, 10, 30 and 60 kips. Each point is derived by selecting an axial force, and then changing curvature value and calculating the moment. Figure A2 presents the computed moment-curvature diagrams.
An additional study is conducted to show the effect of including or excluding compressive reinforcement.
The study shows accounting for the effect of compressive rebars increases the ductility of a member as presented in Figure A3; therefore, the member can accommodate more displacement.
