New Supplement to Nuclear Specification on Composite SC Walls in Nuclear Facilities [N52]

In recent years, there has been a move to explore modularized construction methods for nuclear power plants to improve overall cost and schedule. A closer look at current research resulted in the development of design criteria for modular steel plate composite (SC) walls. Design provisions for SC walls in safety related nuclear facilities are included in Supplement No. 1 to AISC N690-12 Specification for Safety Related Steel Structures in Nuclear Facilities. This presentation will provide an overview of the contents to this supplement.
