Public Review of Nuclear Specification Supplement and of AISC Seismic Provisions

摘要

AISC is now requesting public review of Supplement No. 1 to ANSI/AISC N690-1994, Specification for the Design, Fabrication, and Erection of Steel Safety-Related Structures for Nuclear Facilities (1994). This is the first public review cycle. This standard applies to the design, fabrication, and erection of steel safety-related structures and structural elements for nuclear facilities. The structures or structural dements subject to this specification are those steel structures which are parts of the nuclear safety-related system or which support house, or protect nuclear safety-related systems or components, the failure of which would impair the safety-related functions of these systems or components. Specifically excluded from this Specification are pressure retaining components, e.g., pressure vessels, valves, pumps, and piping.
