I h 1.O INTRODUCTION The Tendon Surveillance Program is a systematic means of
) .
assessing the continued quality of the post-tensioning -
-l system. This provides a measure of confidence in the 3 a
condition and functional capability of the system and an
! opportunity for timely corrective measures should adverse 3
conditions (such as nrogressive corrosion) be detected. V i
J
! Surveillance consists of periodic inspection of a minimum I
of 9 pre-celected surveillance tendons (3 hoop, 3 vertical !
and 3 dome) for physical condition.

I O 3.0 GENERAL The one-year surveillance of Point Dcach Unit No. 2 Containment Duilding Post-tensioning System began in May, V 1972, approximately one year after comniction of the contain-ment structural integrity test which occurrod in March, 1971. This surveillance consisted of the following: f.
j (1) visual and laboratory examination of sheathing filler.
i (2) Inspection of anchor assembly for deleterious conditions I such as corrosion, cracks, missing wires or off-size-tuttonheads.
f (3) Measuring shin dimensions and anchor head bunhing j projection to determine lift-off elongation (clear distance between bearing plate and anchor head).
f (4) Measuring lift-off loads.
(5) i Measuring clongation at 0.8 ff (30% of minimum ultimate strength of tendon wire).
.i
- (6) Detension!.1g tendons and checking viro continuity by y pulling each wiro and observing its movement at the i
{- opposito end.

.u O 4.0 Tl;N'ON PILLl;B AND END ANC!!ORAGE ASSEMBLY The results of field inspection of the tendon sheathing ;
tiller and the end anchorage ansembly are shown in Table 4-1 and Appendix E.
4.1 Sheathing Piller j
sampic s of filler were removed from each of the tendon !
sheaths and visually examined. All samolos were dark brown indicating no discoloration caused by imourities was present.
A small amount of free water was found on the tendon wires near the field end of Tendon MJi-54. The source of this water is most likely collection of condensate. Ao significant corrosion of tScee wires was found. ,
Laborators 1. amination (see Appendix D) revrale- that deletericus product content of all samolca tested was ,
within establinhed acceptance limits.
Trar mir inside the shcathing filler cans prevented i y-compic, filler coverage of the anchor head and shims 1
of 3 of mac 18 tendon end anchorages inspected (Table 4-1, Cols. 7 6 0). The tendon and sheathing fillor j
systems involved were installed using proceduros similar to those used for other tendons, thus this condition may occur .t. other end anchorages. Inspection 1
' of the involved areas indicated that no significant corrosion is caused by these air pockots.
4.2 End Anchorace Assembl,g The end anchorage assemblics woro found to be in j acceptable condition.
< Off aize buttonhetda and buttonhead splits were found which probably existed at the time of original tendon tensioning. Mill scale and minor corrosion were noted on the original mill-stock surfaces of shims and bearing nlates, surfacos ,
cut for final fabrication showed slight spotty discolora-tion.
These conditions are similar to thoso generally fourd prior to sheathing filler installation and thus do not indicato subsequent corrosion.

These predictions include ." the losses from wire relaxation and concrete creep and :i , chrinkage. The expected loss curves provide only i t an estimated trend in losses, the actual averago loss trend will be established by plotting wire forces obtained from future survuillance lift-off forco data. The minimum effective design prestress is the i required average force per wire at the end of 40 i l l years considering cencrete creep and shrinkage and
} . steel relaxation.
l calculation of expected losses is as follows: l.i ) t (1) Initial wire force based on a wire stress of 0.7 ff: F1 = .70 ff (Area of Wire)
= 0.7 (240) (.049) )
Fi = 3.25 K/ wire j/ (2) Wire force at 40 years due to steel relaxation and concrete creep and shrinkage. [ The prestress reduction at the end of 40 years
- a. due to concrete creep and shrinkage and steel
's relaxation is estimated (see plant FFDSAR Section
- 5) to be 27.3 ksi (applicable to hoop, vertical and dome terdons).
Loss per wire = 27.3 (0.049). ,
# = 1.34 K/ wire Minimum e .ective design prestress is the predicted wire force after 40 years.

Py n 8.25 - 0.70 (1.34) P1 = 7.31 K/ wire ' To utilize figures 5-1, 5-2 snd 5-3 for comparison of ! surveillance wire-force data requires normalizing the , data to account for =cquence) of post-tensioning structural deformations and initial lift-off (a function force deviations from seven-tenths of minimum ultimate strength. Plotting the normalized tendon force per wire at lif t-off on these graphs provides a compartoon of predicted forco range and sctual force at the time . of surveillance. For future convenience, the normalizing ' factor 5-2. Thefor cach surveillance tendon is listed in Table actual force in the wire is multiplied by
' -the normalizing factor to obtain the normalized force.
For example, calculation of the normalizing factor I [{} for tendon V-278 is as follows: > (1) Initial lift-off force based on a wire strean ) of 0.7 ff: l, Pt = 0.70 ff (area of wire) (number of wires)

Wire in pection revealed some surface imperfections (abrasions, die marks, ano I discoloration) and the presence of oxidation sparsely distributed along the wires. All wire was classified in corrosion Category 3 or less (pitting less than 3 mills deep). The information obtained in these examinations provides a base for comparision in future inspections. 5.3 Discontinuous _ Fires t
} l
; Two discontinuous wires were found in tendon D2-227.
; Pictures of the two wire breaks are khown in Appendix C together with a metallurgical report on the break specimons.
The tendon buttonheading card for D2-227 indicates that one wire was broken prior to buttonheading and that two of the field buttonheads were improperly fo rmed . The break in wire il is similar to breaks
,. ([) previously observed on wires brokaa before buttonheading s t
./ thus it is assumed observed that vire 91 was the broken wire during buttonheading. i k
i Droken wire 42 from tendon D2-227 apoarently broke ; I
" during or after tensioning. A thorough examination of the sheathing filler removed from D2-227 showed i that the buttonhead was not inside the tendon system, thussheathing the the wire must fillerhave cap. broken before installacion of 4 Since filler cans were M
4 installed immediately after tensioning during con-atruction of this project, this viro break nrobably occurred during tensioning or inmediately afterwards Q h and is not indicative of deterioration subsequent to 9 4, installation of sheathing filler. P T l

l A typical section of wire (approximately 8-1/2 feet ' 1 l'. i long) was cut from each end and from the middle portion of each wire. 2ne specimens were then fitted with i stressing washers and buttonheaded to provide a gags length of approximately 100 inches (clear distance between buttonhoads). As specimens were removed from the wire, they were ( tagged with the following inform
- tion: j E
- 1. Tendon identification number.
- 2. Location of specimen relative to the buttonhead-end of the tendon wire. y These tags remained with the specimens through com-p3 ction of te:c.tng.
6.2 Test Equipmen( [) k The test assembly used ror testing nominal 100-inch gage-length wires is shown in Figure 6-1. A tensile force was applied to the wire through the 4 stressing washers inserted in the pulling adaptors. !
^ One adaptor was screwed onto a threaded 1-1/0" diameter !
rod anchored to the end of the reaction frame. The .( other pulling adaptor was -screwed onto the threaded [ portion of the ram plunger. The 10"-stroke 2-way ram
" was bolted to the pulling end of the reaculon frame. ){i Tension was applied to the wiru by pressurizing the
" pull" side of the two-way ram with a hydraulic pump.
The force applied to the wire was obtained from ; reading the calibrated pressuro gage. e i
" Displacement to it clongation was measured utilizing !
M two dial extennometers (having a 2-inch travel and l lowest 6-1. Figure division of 0.001 inches) mounted as shown in The dial gage meunting bar was anchored ; d i rigidly to the reaction frame at its midpoint. The extensometers were positioned on the mounting bar to i ) measure the change in distance between the two index rods attached to the pulling adaptors. This, after ; p (,) proloading to seat buttonheads into pulling washers, enabled measurement of wire elongation. i 8 6-1

; 100" gage-length specimens may indicate a lower
' ultimate strength and less ductility (elongation) i than 10" specimens since failure will occur at the i weakest point in the wire (equivalent to the hvest {
elongation under load at failuru will also tend to bevalue th less due to distributtor. of clongation at the noch-down area over a length of wire ten times that of the nominal 10" gage-length specimen. !I

Based on previous surveil-k lance test data, a wire which exhibits 44 4 ultimate elongation utilizing 10 inch gage-length tests is expected to exhibit 3% ultimate { clongation utilizing 100 inch gage-length tests. All wires from the nine tendons exhibited a ductility exceeding 3.9 percent. 6.5.2 Yield Strength The yield strength of all tendon wire specimenn tested except one from tendon HK22 exceeded ' the specified minimum yield strength of 192 kai at it clongation. The tent result which was percent low for a wire specimen from tendon HK22 was probably low because it was recorda3 before the repair of a test assembly . malfunction. The other two wire togt specimens l O from HK22 gave renuits in excess of the specified yield strength. .
; 6.5.3 Ultimate Strength I l, j
The ultimate strength of all but four of the ' specimens tested exceeded the snocified minimum ultimate scrength of 240 kai. The four low test results, which all were approximately '
- 2 parcont low, were recorded before the repair of a test assembly malfunction. The low test .g results were evaluated as follows: l (1) Tendon MK39. The ultimate atrength test renufts ot'~two of the three 100 inch uf re specimens from tendon MK39 are apnroxi-mately 2 peraent below the specified minimum valut. Additional tests on 10 inch specimens from the same wire were p
t made to determine if wire strength was in fact below the specified minimum ( value. The renults from these testa, l which all indicate wire strennth exceedn 1 f specified minimum ultimate strength, [ indicate that the low results are due I. to test assembly malfunction and not
