A full draft of a new supplement to the AISC Specification for Safety-Related Steel Structures for Nuclear Facilities (ANSI/AISC N690-12) is now available for public review. Comments are due by January 19.
Developed by an AISC Adhoc Subcommittee under Task Committee 12—Nuclear Facilities Design and ultimately approved by the AISC Committee on Specifications, the supplement incorporates a new appendix providing requirements for the design and construction of steel-plate composite walls. The system consists of two steel faceplates composite with structural concrete sandwiched between them for use in safety-related structures for nuclear facilities.
The document and public review form are available on the AISC web site at www.aisc.org/publicreview.
