EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Low-Activity Waste Pretreatment System (LAWPS) will be used to pretreat the tank
supernatant waste to meet the WTP LAW waste acceptance criteria prior to transferring the feed
to the WTP LAW Vitrification Facility. To support the permitting of the LAWPS facility, the
long lead process support equipment must be design and analyzed to show compliance with
national codes and standards.
This document outlines the bases, assumptions, and requirements associated with the LAWPS
facility process equipment based upon current project documents. Based upon these established
assumptions and requirements, this document will describe the methodologies to be used to
model, analyze, and evaluate the various facility process support equipment to the applicable
codes and standards using ANSYS or AutoPIPE. ANSYS, a general purpose finite element
analysis program, will be used to evaluate structures, supports, piping, valves, jumpers, etc.
directly connected to process skids due to the complex interactions between the structures and
piping. ANSYS will also be used to evaluate portions of the interconnecting facility piping and
piping supports between skids as necessary to the next logical interface/anchor point. All other
facility piping, jumpers and associated supports (i.e. piping between vessels, HVAC piping, etc.)
not directly connected to a skid will be modeled, analyzed and evaluated using AutoPIPE.
Results of these analyses will ensure the final fabrication drawings will meet all applicable codes
and standards on the LAWPS facility.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Washington River Protection Solutions (WRPS) is the Tank Operating Contractor (TOC) for the U.S.
Department of Energy-Office of River Protection (DOE-ORP) on the Hanford Site. The Hanford Site
stores an estimated 56 million gallons of mixed radioactive and chemically hazardous waste in large
underground tanks. WRPS is in the process of designing the LAWPS to produce Low Activity Waste
(LAW) from Hanford tank waste. The LAW will be transferred to the Waste Treatment and
Immobilization Plant (WTP) LAW Vitrification Facility, where the hazardous constituents in the LAW
will be immobilized in a durable glass waste form for disposal.
Before transferring the feed to the WTP LAW Vitrification Facility, tank supernatant waste will be
pretreated in the Low-Activity Waste Pretreatment System (LAWPS) to meet the WTP LAW waste
acceptance criteria. Solids filtration and cesium removal will be accomplished using a Cross Flow
Filter (CFF) and Cesium Ion Exchange (IX) column filled with elutable spherical Resorcinol
Formaldehyde (sRF) resin. The removed solids and cesium as well as secondary effluents and out-of-
specification feeds are returned to the Double-Shell Tank (DST) system.
2.0 SCOPE
A variety of Build-To-Print (BTP) scopes of work will be awarded by WRPS to support long lead
procurements associated with the LAWPS facility process support equipment (Ref. 6.1.1). Examples of
facility process support equipment that will be part of the long lead BTP includes vessels, tanks, piping,
piping supports, skids, pump support flanges, etc. This methodology will describe the methods to be
used in ANSYS to model the geometry, apply the loads and boundary conditions, the load
combinations, as well as the post processing. The results of the post processing will be used to evaluate
the process support equipment to applicable codes and standards. It will also cover the methodologies
to be used on the interconnecting facility piping, which will be done by AECOM using AutoPIPE (see
Section 4.2.3). The primary codes and standards used for qualification evaluations for this scope are
based upon the Pre-Job Brief (Ref. 6.1.2), and its associated references (Ref. 6.1.3, 6.1.4, and 6.1.5):

3.0 ASSUMPTIONS
3.1 Assumptions Requiring Verification

3.1.1. WRPS Chief Engineer will provide exemption from requirement in 31269-22-DBD-001
(Ref. 6.1.5), Requirement 134.19 4.5 to use AutoPIPE for piping structural evaluations.
3.1.2. Final In-Structure Response Spectra will be provided prior to the 90% SSI analysis
(Ref. 6.1.5, Section 2.21.7.1.A). SDC-3 seismic loads for the BTP design/analysis will
be initially based upon the 2005 interim seismic design response spectra (Ref. 6.1.5,
Section 3.9.19 and Requirement 107.07) and RPP-38172, Attachment C, Figure 3
(Ref. 6.1.6)
3.1.3. The operating deck shield plates are assumed to be infinitely rigid, thereby allowing no
vertical movement of the shield plugs and imparting no vertical loads into the valves.
3.1.4. No piping thermal cyclic loading data is provided in the LAWPS Design Basis
Document (Ref. 6.1.5). Therefore, assume 7000 cycles as this is the minimum number
of full range cycles that needs be evaluated for fatigue. For reference, the LAWPS tank
and vessel datasheets all provide a total number of thermal cycles of less than 7000.
3.1.5. AECOM to provide P&ID pipeline numbers where HTA transient forces will be
evaluated by pipe stress analysis per BCR-095.
3.2 General Assumptions

3.2.1. For facility process support equipment including vessels, tanks, interconnecting piping,
piping supports, skids, etc., AECOM will perform AFT IMPULSE flow transient
analyses. The impacts of the Hydraulic Transient Analyses (HTA) will be evaluated
based upon the calculation required as defined in BCR-095. If required, the required
ASME B31.3 code evaluations will be done using either ANSYS or AutoPIPE. See
Section 4.2 for the description of the methodologies to be used for the ANSYS analyses,
AutoPIPE analyses, and interface handoff locations between ANSYS and AutoPIPE.
3.2.2. The valve actuator drive shaft below the operating deck shield plates will be excluded
from the analysis due to the fact that the configuration arrangement prevents transfer of
vertical loads through the shaft. Vertical movement is allowed through the split coupling
at the top as well as two universal joints between the shield plug and the valve body.
4.0 METHODOLOGY
4.1 Materials Properties and Allowable Stresses
4.1.1 Material Properties for Analysis
4.1.1.1 Material Properties for Structural Analysis

The most common materials used in the construction of the BTP process support equipment are shown
in the tables in this section. These tables provide the material property values to be used in the analysis
based upon the applicable evaluation code. The structural steel design and analysis of the skids,
supports, etc. will be done in accordance with 31269-22-DBD-001 (Ref. 6.1.5), Requirement 126.00.
The maximum design temperature for the structural components will be the maximum vault
Page 2 of 44
temperature of 120F (see Section 4.3.2.1). All of the skids structures are designed and constructed
using stainless steel, therefore the BTP scope will use ANSI/AISC N690, Specification for Safety-
Related Steel Structures for Nuclear facilities, 2012 edition (Ref. 6.3.1) supplemented with the 2010
AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (Ref. 6.3.2) to make it applicable to the design,
fabrication and erection of safety-related steel structures for nuclear facilities. As defined in
ANSI/AISC N690, Section NA3.1a (Ref. 6.3.1), the strength of structural stainless steel members,
assemblies and connections shall be determined in accordance with the requirements in Sections 3, 4
and 5 of ANSI/ASCE 8 (Table 4-1). If ANSI/ASCE 8 does not include the material properties required,
ASME BPVC-13, Section II, Part D (Ref. 6.3.8) will be used.
If any equipment has a unique material requirement, its properties will be identified in the
corresponding calculation. The modulus of elasticity for ANSYS is taken at 70 F, which is
conservative since the modulus of elasticity goes down as temperature increases, thereby reducing the
stresses. All other material properties are taken at the maximum vault temperature (see Section 4.3.2.1).

4.1.1.2 Material Properties for Piping Analysis

All piping, jumpers and piping components shall be in accordance with ASME B31.3-12 (Ref. 6.3.15)
as required in 31269-22-DBD-001 (Ref. 6.1.5), Requirements 134.00 and 134.05. If any equipment has
a unique material requirement, its properties will be identified in the corresponding calculation. The
modulus of elasticity for ANSYS is taken at 70 F, which is conservative since the modulus of
Page 3 of 44
elasticity goes down as temperature increases, thereby reducing the stresses. All other material
properties are taken at the 170F Piping Design Temperature (see Section 4.3.1.3).
If unlisted components or materials are used in the design, these components and materials will be
evaluated in accordance with ASME B31.3, paragraphs 302.2.3, 304.7.2 and 323.1.2 as applicable
(Ref. 6.3.15).

Analysis
All vessels, thin-walled components (i.e. wall or floor boxes), nozzles or nozzle reinforcements shall be
designed to meet Requirement 133 of Reference 6.1.5. To meet this requirement, all material properties
shall be taken from ASME BPVC-13, Section II, Part D (Ref. 6.3.8)
All piping and piping components shall be in accordance with ASME B31.3-12 (Ref. 6.3.15) as

4.1.2 Code Allowable Stresses

The allowable stresses vary depending upon the required code or standard for each BTP process
support equipment component or assembly. The following sections and tables provide the appropriate
allowable stresses for AISC N690/360 structural evaluations, ASME B31.3 piping evaluations and
ASME BVPC thin-walled components (i.e. wall or floor boxes), vessels, nozzle/nozzle reinforcement
evaluations.
Page 5 of 44
4.1.2.1 Structural Analysis Allowable Stresses

All the skid frames, structural members and pipe supports will have evaluations done in accordance
with the ASD methodology provided in the 2012 edition of AISC N690-12 (Ref. 6.3.1) and the 2010
edition of AISC 360 (Ref. 6.3.2). The allowable stresses vary depending on the type of member(s)
being analyzed (e.g. tube steel, bolt, etc.) and the loading that member is withstanding. Typically, all
tube steel members are analyzed for combined force and torsion loading and follow the rules provided
in AISC 360-10, Section H (no modification for N690). However, if the loading is such that it can be
determined to be limited to tension, compression, flexure or shear, the member(s) may be evaluated
using Sections, D-G as applicable. Table 4-4 and Table 4-5 provide the material yield and tensile
ultimate strengths for the various structural and bolting materials respectively. Table 4-5 also provides
allowable tension and shear stress for bolt/pin materials based upon AISC 360-10, Section J3.
Conservatively, all bolt evaluations and allowable stresses are based upon threads included in the shear
plane. Alignment pins, which are generally made from Nitronic60, allowable stresses and evaluations
are based upon the threads being excluded from the shear plane. If Nitronic60 is used as a bolting
material, the allowable stress will be reduced to allow any threads to be in the shear plane. If tensile
and yield strengths are not provided in either AISC N690-12 or AISC 360-10, ASME BPVC Section II,
Part D (Ref. 6.3.8) will be used. Table 4-7 lists the allowable stresses that will be used for such
evaluations.

4.2 Modeling
All modeling of the BTP process equipment will be done in either the general purpose finite element
program ANSYS or AutoPIPE. Structures, supports, piping, valves, jumpers, etc. directly connected to
process skids will be analyzed in the general purpose finite element program ANSYS (see Sections
4.2.1 and 4.2.2). ANSYS will also be used, as necessary, to evaluate portions of the interconnecting
piping and supports between skids and/or to the next logical interface/anchor point (see Section 4.2.4).
This methodology also covers the modeling and analyses needed to evaluate thin-walled components
(i.e. wall or floor boxes), vessels, nozzles, valve equipment, and loading that will be evaluated using
ANSYS and the applicable codes and standards (see Sections 4.2.5-4.2.10). All facility piping, jumpers
and associated supports (i.e. piping between vessels, HVAC piping, etc.) not directly connected to a
skid will be modeled, analyzed and evaluated using AutoPIPE (see Section 4.2.3).
ANSYS Version 17 will be used by Atkins as this is the most current version qualified for use as a
Level B software in accordance with the Atkins quality assurance program (Verification and Validation
report Ref. 6.4.3). All verification and validation testing as well as periodic in-use testing for each
computer is documented in the in-use-test log (Ref. 6.4.4). Currently, all verified computers are 64-bit
Intel based personal computers using the Windows operating system.

INSERT SIMILAR PARAGRAPH TO PREVIOUS FOR AUTOPIPE QA, V&V, ETC
The models will be developed with sufficient detail to allow for the evaluation of the skid frames,
piping, jumpers, piping supports, confinement, vessels, etc. in accordance with applicable codes and
standards. Model x, y, and z directions are taken to be lateral, lateral, and vertical, respectively and
shall be consistent with the response spectra cardinal directions provided in Section 4.4.8, Table 4-26
and Table 4-27. All input shall be in English inch units (inch, lbs, sec, psi, etc.).
4.2.1 Frames/Supports - ANSYS

The structural skid frame, pipe supports and other structural members shall be developed using one
dimensional elements such as BEAM44 and BEAM188 elements. Section property data (see
Sections 4.3.2.2 and 4.3.2.3) should be input using SECDATA commands, with the origin set to allow
coincident or common nodes where the frame interfaces with other process equipment or the facility.
Force and moment results acting on the full element cross-section shall be extracted from ANSYS and
used in the AISC N690-12, Specification for the Design, Fabrication, and Erection of Steel Safety
Related Structures for Nuclear Facilities (Ref. 6.3.1) code evaluations. The connections between the
frame components, supports or structural members and process equipment, piping or the facility will be
either bolted and/or welded. The forces and moments at the interface locations will be extracted and
used to evaluate the connection design or, in the case of facility interfaces, provided in the report for
embed sizing. These connections will be represented by rigid links/beams (MPC184 or similar), stiff
beam elements (BEAM188 or similar with large moment of inertia) and/or spring elements as required
to represent the actual configuration. Typically welds will be represented by merging, adding
applicable displacement/moment constraints, or stiff spring elements (displacement and/or torsional as
required) coincident nodes. Bolts and alignment pins are typically will be represented by axial stiff
spring elements. Torsion springs are not required as the bolt grouping will resist any applied torsion. If
the connection interface location is offset due to geometry and/or element centroid location, use rigid or
stiff beams (MPC184, BEAM188 or similar) to bridge gap and create coincident nodes at the interface.
The coincident nodes can then be connected based upon if the joint is welded, bolted or pinned. The
following list provides an overview of the type of connections that are expected to be part of the design
and evaluated:

4.2.2 Piping - ANSYS

The waste transfer piping systems, sub-systems, jumpers and related process piping shall comply with
ASME B31.3-12 (Ref. 6.3.15), normal fluid service, as required in 31269-22-DBD-001 (Ref. 6.1.5),
Requirements 134.00 and 134.05. The source of these requirements is TFC-ENG-STD-22 (Ref. 6.2.4),
which cites TFC-ENG-DESIGN-C-60 (Ref. 6.2.5) and outlines the methods for determining stresses
Page 10 of 44
due to internal pressure and longitudinal stress resulting from sustained and occasional loads.
Additionally, TFC-ENG-DESIGN-C-60 includes evaluation requirements to demonstrate that peak
pressures and stresses resulting from potential unanticipated overpressures or flow transients during
waste transfer are less than limits established in ASME B31.3. Where compliance with ASME B31.3
cannot be readily established, the system should comply with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel
Code (BPVC), Section III, Division 1, Subsection ND for Service Level D (Ref. 6.3.8). The hydraulic
transient analyses will be done by AECOM in a separate AFT IMPULSE analysis and provided as
input to the ASME B31.3 evaluations (see Section 4.4.6).
Figure 4-1 Piping Anchor
Piping systems shall be modeled as an assemblage of pipe elements supported by structural steel, pipe
shoes, trunions, hangers, guides, anchors (Figure 4-1, Flag 4), and struts. Piping shall be developed
using one-dimensional (1D) PIPE elements using section properties defined in accordance with the data
provided in Section 4.3.1.5, including actual pipe dimensions, weight, stiffness, stress intensification
factors, etc. will be input directly into ANSYS. Valves, valve actuators and any miscellaneous
prequalified piping components will not be specifically modeled, rather their influence will be captured
by adding a mass at the correct center of gravity location(s) using MASS21 elements, supported by
either rigid beam elements (MPC184) or beam elements (BEAM188 or similar). The beam element
used will be chosen based upon what most accurately represents the geometry and stiffness of the
arrangement being modeled. Figure 4-2 and Figure 4-3 below show examples of standard, remote top
entry plug valve arrangements used on the LAWPS project.
The torsional and bending effects of valve operators and other pipe-mounted equipment with offset
centers of gravity with respect to the piping centerline shall be included in the model. All pipe runs
shall include the mass of the pipe material, insulation, fluid contents, etc., evenly distributed and
accounted for using piping material properties and/or mass elements. If the piping arrangement
include a pipe-in-pipe arrangement, the connection points shall be modeled as coincident nodes and
be connected in such a way to represent the interface type (i.e. welded end caps merged nodes,
constraints or stiff linear and torsional springs; support spiders displacement constraints, stiff linear
springs; etc.). Results extracted from the ANSYS pipe elements shall consist of forces and moments
acting on the full element cross-section, suitable for use in code evaluations against ASME B31.3-12,
normal fluid service requirements (Ref. 6.3.8). Results will be extracted for the interface nodes based
upon the interface type and methodology used to represent the interface.
Anchors at equipment such as tanks, pumps and heat exchangers shall be modeled with calculated
stiffness properties or as infinitely rigid restraints as applicable based upon available information.
Page 11 of 44
Only the mass effects of in-line equipment with a fundamental frequency of 33 Hz or greater shall be
modeled as a lumped mass. Otherwise, a simplified model of the in-line equipment shall be included
in the piping system model.
The effects of hydraulic transients from pump and valve changes on waste transfer, reagent and process
systems are to be evaluated. The peak pressures and forces resulting from these events will be
determined by others using AFT IMPULSE and used as input to the occasional load case hoop &
longitudinal stresses (SL). The longitudinal stresses due to sustained loads shall be in accordance with
ASME B31.3, paragraph 320 (supplemented as necessary with Appendix S) and Applying the ASME
Codes: Plant Piping & Pressure Vessels (Ref. 6.4.2 Chapter 1).
Piping displacement stress check including fatigue analysis will be done using ASME B31.3, paragraph
302.3.5 (Ref. 6.3.15) and the methodology provided in Applying the ASME Codes: Plant Piping &
Pressure Vessels (Ref. 6.4.2 Chapter 1). The allowable stress range (SA) will be calculated using
equation 1(b) when Sh is greater than SL. Otherwise, equation 1(a) will be used. This is the
recommended method per reference 6.4.2 since SL is directly calculated by ANSYS for each pipe
element. The stress range reduction factor (f) will be taken as 1.0 unless there are more than 7,000
thermal cycles expected in which case the value will be calculated using equation 1(c). The total
number of cycles shall be calculated using equation 1(d), with the number of actual full-stress range
thermal expansion load cycles (NE) being equal to the total number of process cycles (see Assumption
3.1.4). Pressure cycles, including hydraulic transient pressures, are not included in the fatigue analysis
as they are considered acceptable if the pipe wall thickness meets the requirements of ASME B31.3,
paragraph 304 (Ref. 6.3.15). The displacement stress range (SE) is then calculated (using equation 17),
which is then compared to the calculated allowable stress range (SA). As long as the calculated
displacement stress range stress (SE) is less than or equal to the allowable stress range (SA), the pipe
section in question passes the fatigue evaluation.
If unlisted components or materials are used in the design, these components and materials will be
evaluated in accordance with ASME B31.3, paragraphs 302.2.3, 304.7.2 and 323.1.2 as applicable
(Ref. 6.3.15).

4.2.3 Piping - AutoPIPE

Discuss AutoPIPE here
4.2.4 Facility Piping Interface Between ANSYS and AutoPIPE

Piping on skids, including any jumpers, will be extended to the next logical interface point. This will
allow for easy transitions between the support equipment process piping analyzed in ANSYS and the
facility interconnecting piping analyzed in AutoPIPE. External piping will be modeled using the same
techniques and approaches described in the previous sections for ANSYS and AutoPIPE. Unless an
integrated model is needed to address interactions from closely tied skids/process equipment and
interconnecting piping, the interface point for the transition will either be an anchor (e.g. at a vault
interface as shown in Figure 4-1 above) or after at least one (1) support in each Cartesian direction
(moment restraints will be ignored), which should not be placed on a single node unless this represents
the physical design. See Figure 4-4 below for a graphical depiction of these interface points. When the
anchor is used as the transition location, the piping will be modeled in ANSYS to the anchor location
and the ASME B31.3 piping evaluations will be done as discussed in the previous section. If supports
are provided between the process equipment and the anchor point, the reaction forces and moments will
be provided to AECOM structural design group to aid their design. In the case where one (1) support in
each Cartesian direction is required to establish a transition point, the piping will be modeled to Point 2
in Figure 4-4 below, and no additional restraints will be added. Modeling this external pipe removes the
need for input nozzle loads at the skids or jumper interfaces. If this method is used, the ANSYS
analysis will provide the reaction forces, moments and displacements at the process equipment
interfaces in the calculation. In addition, ANSYS will not be used to perform the ASME B31.3 piping
analysis on the external piping as not all the applicable loads and constraints will be adequately shown.
The actual interface location will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to ensure transitions are
adequately defined and all appropriate loads and constraints are applied in both ANSYS and AutoPIPE.
Pipe properties, temperatures, etc. are still taken from the data sheets and specifications. The seismic
accelerations are based on piping and what floor it is anchored to (see Section 4.4.8 for details).

Figure 4-4 ANSYS to AUTOPIPE Transition Locations
4.2.5 Vessels/Confinement/Thin-Walled Components

Any vessels, confinement plates, wall/floor boxes, or similar thin-walled components shall be
developed using two-dimensional (2D) elements such as SHELL63 or SHELL181 elements. Element
refinement should be tailored to the stress levels in the region being considered. Membrane (shell
element middle) and membrane plus bending (shell element top/bottom) stresses will be extracted from
ANSYS for use in code evaluations against AISC N690-12 (Ref. 6.3.1) or ASME BPVC (Ref. 6.3.9
and 6.3.10). Typically, ASME BPVC will only be used to evaluate vessels and confinements with
internal or external pressures or reinforcement area around nozzle/sleeve penetrations (see Section
4.2.6 below). Otherwise, these thin-walled components will be evaluated in accordance with AISC
N690-12.
4.2.6 Nozzles
For vessel, confinement, wall/floor boxes or other nozzle interface locations in thin-walled components
(when a sleeve is not present), the ending node of the pipe element will be merged with the center node
of the nozzle rigid region (see Figure 4-5 and Figure 4-6). When a sleeve is present, however, the
ending node of the pipe element will be joined to the center node of the nozzle rigid region by a rigid
link so the pipe, support, and sleeve are loaded correctly. Nozzle loading and interfacing piping loads
for the CFF filters and filter module will be extracted and provided in the final report.
Nozzles shall be developed using a combination of 2D shell elements and 1D pipe and/or beam
elements. The nozzle protruding from the face or floor of a confinement, vessel, glovebox, wall box or
other similar thin-walled component or assembly shall be modeled using shells. The shell will have
properties consistent with that of the corresponding pipe section and extended beyond the external face
at least the nozzle diameter (see Figure 4-5 and Figure 4-6). This distance is arbitrary, but through
testing was shown to be adequate to achieve the desired effect of reducing high artificial stresses as
well as transferring forces and moments correctly. For the transition from shells to pipe or beam
elements at the end of the nozzle protrusion, a stiff material (10x youngs modulus) will be used as a
rigid region perpendicular to the nozzle being modeled. This will eliminate the problems generally
associated with attaching beam/pipe elements to a shell. Using an ANSYS rigid region or couples
Page 14 of 44
typically leads to artificial stress risers at connection points. This stiff material will be excluded from
the evaluations. Stresses will be extracted for evaluation per the requirements of ASME Section VIII,
Division 2, Mandatory Appendix 4, Paragraph 4-138 (Ref. 6.3.10).
The limit of reinforcement area will also be modeled as a shell, with attributes matching the thin-walled
component wall thickness, and will encompass an area that has a radius of 2.5 Rnom t nom (Ref. 6.3.10)
plus the actual pipe outside radius. Areas of high stress occur at the joint between the nozzle shell
element and the thin-walled component may be ignored if they occur beneath the weld or within the
thickness of the nozzle shell element. This will be evaluated on a case-by-case.
Figure 4-5 Lateral Loading Methodology for Nozzle Stub
Figure 4-6 ANSYS Plot of Typical Nozzle Model
4.2.7 Valve Equipment

XOMOX valve assemblies are included in many of the process piping runs. The XOMOX assemblies
include components above and below the operating deck shield plates (see Figure 4-2 and Figure 4-3
below). The valve actuator motor, valve actuator motor support, and shield plug are above the
operating deck. The remaining components below the operating deck (as required) include a shield
collar, an actuator drive shaft, a support pipe, a frame interface support washer, and a valve body.
These components are provided by XOMOX as part of the valve assembly and are primarily included
to provide support and transmit loads into the system and not part of the code evaluations. This
includes the valve body that is provided with the required ASME B31.3 qualifications. The exception,
as shown in Figure 4-3, are the support sleeve/pipe that extends from the operating deck and attached to
the valve body and the frame interface support washer, which will be evaluated in accordance with
AISC N690.
The actuator shafts will not be specifically modeled as the arrangement prevents them from
transferring loads (see assumption 3.2.2). Shafts longer than 5-feet need to be evaluated for lateral
Page 15 of 44
supports using hand calculations based upon the maximum, inline, Euler buckling load and required
unsupported length assuming each end is a pinned connnection.
The value actuator drive shaft mass will be added as a lumped mass (MASS21 element) in one of the
following ways based upon the specific valve geometry:
1. Valves without support sleeves similar to Figure 4-2 (without 6-inch support sleeve)
will have the mass lumped at the valve body to maximize loads in the piping system
2. Valves with support sleeves similar to Figure 4-3 (6-inch support sleeve included) will
have the mass lumped with the shield plug weight to maximize the loads into the
support sleeve, frame interface support washer and skid frame.
The actuator motor mass shall be added using a MASS21 element and a beam element (BEAM44,
BEAM188 or similar) to represent the shaft between the shield plug and the actuator motor mass center
of gravity, with the correct material properties and stiffness. The support sleeve, if included, is attached
to the skid frame via a frame interface support washer. This connection is typically welded, therefore
shall be modeled as merged nodes or rigid link elements. The shield plug is supported vertically either
by the 6-inch support sleeve at the top bolted interface or by a removable collar and laterally by the
operating deck shield plates. The shield plug will also be supported vertically by the infinitely rigid
operating deck shield plates (Assumption 3.1.3). Furthermore, there is not sufficient vertical seismic
force to induce vertical movement (less than 1g based upon the preliminary response spectrum shown
in Section 4.4.8 below).
4.2.8 Lifting
A lifting analysis is performed with gravity set at 150% while the component or assembly being lifting
is in the lifted configuration(s). All piping systems shall be assumed to be empty and nominal pipe wall
thickness (corrosion and mill tolerance excluded). This is equivalent to the maximum dead weight,
dynamic load factors, and contingency factors provided in ASME B30.20 (Ref. 6.3.14), ASME BTH-1
(Ref. 6.3.13) and the Hanford Hoisting and Rigging Manual (Ref. 6.2.1). Design and analysis of lifting
points will be in accordance with ASME B30.20 and ASME BTH-1. Conservatively, all lift analyses
will assume a 2-point lift on diagonal corners. The two, diagonal corners will be constrained vertically
and all other displacement constraints will be removed. If required, one lift point may need to have two
lateral constraints added for model solution stability. The rigging arrangement(s) are not known,
therefore the extracted reaction forces will be applied at a 45-degree angle from horizontal. The lift
attachment point Working Load Limit (WLL) shall be limited to 90% of the ASME BTH-1 capacity.
4.2.9 Solid Geometry

In cases where the geometry consists primarily of thick solid shapes, and loads are easily defined (i.e.
equivalent-static or similar), solid elements such as SOLID185, SOLID186, SOLID187 or similar may
be used in either ANSYS APDL or ANSYS WorkBench.
4.2.10 Other
A combination of available ANSYS elements is used as required to properly reflect geometry, stiffness,
mass distribution, and connectivity of the item being modeled in the simplest manner possible. This
means, unless a more complex model is required, the equipment shall be represented by a lumped-mass
system consisting of discrete masses connected by weightless springs. The criteria used to lump
masses shall be as follows:
The number of masses shall be chosen so that all significant modes are included.
Page 16 of 44
Missing mass shall be accounted for in developing the design forces and moments.
Mass shall also be lumped at the following points:

Where a significant concentrated weight is located (e.g., the motor in the analysis of a pump
motor stand, the impeller in the analysis of a pump shaft, etc.).
Where there is a significant change in either the geometry or stiffness
Consideration also needs to be made for the extraction of connection forces, moments, stress
intensities, etc. when selecting the method for modeling connections or interfaces. Contact elements,
while not typically used, can be used at interface points/locations. However, evaluation code
requirements and methods must be considered to ensure appropriate results can be obtained.
4.3 Inputs
4.3.1 Piping
4.3.1.1 Pipe Fluid Weight

Process fluid physical characteristics are taken from 31269-22-DBD-001, Table 3-4: DST Feed
Physical Characteristics (Ref. 6.1.5). Table 4-8 below provides the Physical Characteristics for
Nominal Feed to Cross-Flow filters. The mass of the fluid contained in the piping needs to be
accounted for and treated as a live load. The mass can be added using real constant associated with the
pipe element, as MASS21 elements evenly distributed, or increasing the piping material density.

4.3.1.2 Design Pressure

The design pressure for the all piping systems and jumpers is 400 psig (Ref. 6.1.5, Requirements
134.01 and 134.07) which will be treated as a live load in the load combinations. The design pressure
bounds both the operating and the accident pressures.
4.3.1.3 Design Temperature

Unless otherwise specified, all piping and jumpers shall be designed for a maximum design
temperature of 170 F (Ref. 6.1.5, Requirement 118.01) and the minimum indoor design temperature of
61 F (Ref. 6.1.5, Requirement 224.02). The design temperature bounds both the operating and the
accident temperatures. The minimum indoor design temperature of 61 F will be used for any
temperature differential (T) calculations.
4.3.1.4 Piping Erosion, Corrosion and Mill Tolerance

Process piping and jumpers shall include an erosion and corrosion allowance of 0.063 in (Ref. 6.1.7,
Section 4.1.4.2) for the 40-year design life (Ref. 6.1.5, Requirements 094 and 095). In addition, a mill
Page 17 of 44
tolerance of 12.5% shall be added. The ANSYS piping element shall be based upon nominal
dimensions to maximize weight. However, during post processing, both corrosion and mill tolerance
need to be subtracted from the wall thickness to ensure piping wall thickness is sufficient for expected
pressures.
4.3.1.5 Piping and Fittings Geometry

The table below summarizes the piping and fitting information for the sizes and schedules used on this
project. The 6-inch, schedule 10 pipe is typically used as a support sleeve for the valves, therefore it
does not carry process fluid and is not subject to corrosion. In these cases, it will be evaluated as a
structural beam with the section properties provided below, not as a piping element. The minimum
section modulus (Z) in table below includes the corrosion and the mill tolerances for all pipe sizes. All
pipe fitting (i.e. elbow, tee, etc.) stress intensification and flexibility factors in Table 4-9 are based upon
ASME B31.3 (Ref. 6.3.15). If the geometry of the pipe fitting being analyzed is different, calculate the
revised factors based upon ASME B31.3 (Ref. 6.3.15), Table D300.

4.3.3 Structural Components

The forces will be extracted from the beam elements that represent the structural member being
analyzed. The six forces and moments will be will be combined into a composite total vector
loading based upon the type of loading the member is resisting and the methodologies provided
in Sections ND-NH of AISC N690 and Sections D-H of AISC 360.
4.3.4 Structural Welds

The welded connections between the frame components, piping (excluding piping pressure
boundary welds), supports or structural members and process equipment, will be evaluated in
accordance with AISC N690-12 (Ref. 6.3.1). For each weld configuration (see Section 4.3.4.2),
those elements that provide the demand will be shown in a figure in the calculation, and then a
summary of the maximum demands and interaction ratios are provided in a table for each of the
applicable load cases. Details of all weld evaluations are provided in separate Excel
spreadsheets. Weld properties and Section moduli are based upon treating the weld as a line and
calculated in accordance with Table 5 of Section 7.4 of Blodgetts Design of Welded Structures
(Ref. 6.4.1). The same stress increases are taken as for the frame members, except that in no case
is the stress allowed to exceed the allowable stress for the weld (i.e., no strain consideration is
allowed). The allowable weld stresses will be based upon AISC 360-10 (Ref. 6.3.2), Section J2,
Table J2.5.
4.3.4.1 Weld Material Properties

Neither AISC N690-12 (Ref. 6.3.1) or AISC 360-10 (Ref. 6.3.2) define the required filler
material for stainless steel. As a result, all structural welds will be done using 308L weld filler
material from AWS D1.6 (Ref. 6.3.18), paragraph 3.11 and Table 3.3, Filler Metal Group B. The
weld filler metal has a strength equal or less than the base metal in accordance with Table J2.5
(Ref. 6.3.3) for partial-joint-penetration bevel and fillet welds.
AISC N690-12 (Ref. 6.3.1) defines the allowable weld strength as:
Rn/, where
Rn = (Fnw)(Awe)
Fnw = the nominal stress of the weld material
Awe = the effective area of the weld
The allowable weld strength for structural stainless steel welds using 308L weld filler is:
Weld Electrode Tensile Strength: FEXX = 75 ksi (Ref. 6.3.18 Section 3.11 and Table 3.3)
Nominal Strength: FnW = 0.6* FEXX = 0.60*75 ksi = 45 ksi (Table J2.5 (Ref. 6.3.2)
Bevel and Fillet Welds
ASD Safety Factor: = 2 (Ref. 6.3.2, Table J2-5)
Allowable Weld Stregth:Fv-weld = Nominal Weld Strength / ASD Safety Factor
= 0.6* FEXX / = 45 ksi/2 = 22,500 psi
Page 22 of 44
Minimum fillet weld sizes will be in accordance with AISC 360-10, Table J2.4 and the minimum
weld throat size for flare bevel weld AISC 360-10, Table J2.2 (Ref. 6.3.2) unless the analysis
shows a large weld is required to withstand the load combinations.
4.3.4.2 Weld Geometries

The weld groups shown in the tables below represent the most common weld geometries used on
this project. If other weld geometries are used, the same geometry information will be developed
and provided in the specific calculations. AISC N690-12 (Ref. 6.3.1), paragraph NJ2 does not
modify the weld parameters defined in AISC 360-10 (Ref. 6.3.2), therefore the minimum weld
sizes will be based upon Table J2.2 for PJP (Partial Joint Penetration) Flare Groove welds and
Table J2.4 for Fillet welds. If the evaluation shows a larger weld size is needed, the drawings and
analysis will be updated to the larger size.
Weld Group 1 (Table 4-12) and Weld Group 2 (Table 4-13) provide the flare-bevel geometry for
a tube steel to tube steel connection of the same size, depending on the weld orientation. The
fillet welds that are across the face of the tube steel are conservatively excluded. Mitered corners
between two similar sized tube steel sections are assumed to be bevel welds as shown in Table
4-14 (Weld Group 3). Table 4-15 presents Weld Group 4, which is a fillet weld for a tube steel to
base plate, embed plate or other solid surface. Weld Group 5 and 7 (Table 4-16 and Table 4-18)
and Weld Group 6, and (Table 4-17 and Table 4-19) represent the weld geometry for welding of
angles to tube steel and c-channel to tube steel as braces or supports. Note that the base material
thickness is not provided in the tables below due to variations in possible thickness. This value
must be provided in the weld evaluation spreadsheet to complete the analysis.
The following variables are used in the line weld geometry definitions:
x = Outer Height Sx = Weld Section Modulus X
y = Outer Width Sy = Weld Section Modulus Y
t = Nominal wall thickness J = Weld Polar Moment of Inertia
b = Width of weld tbase = thickness of base material
d = length of weld tweld = thickness of weld based upon geometry (e.g.
A = Weld line area fillet, flare bevel, etc.)

4.3.5 Bolts/U-Bolts/Studs
AISC N690-12, Section NJ3 (Ref. 6.3.1) does not alter the nominal strength, the methodology
for shear or the combined tension and shear of fasteners provided in AISC 360-10 (Ref. 6.3.2).
The methodology for tension only or shear only loading shall be in accordance with Section J3.6
and combined tension and shear loading from Section J3.7 will be used for all bolts, u-bolts and
threaded rods. The bolts, u-bolts and fasteners will conservatively assume that the thread is NOT
excluded from the shear plane and the allowable stresses will be extracted from Table J3.2 for
ASTM A307 bolts. Alignment pins and studs will follow Section J3.6 for shear only loading, but
threads will be excluded from the shear plane. The allowable tension and shear stress for
alignment pins and studs will be based upon Table J3.2 for threaded parts meeting the
requirements of Section A3.4 when threads are excluded from the shear plane.
The forces will be extracted from the spring elements (one in each direction of interest) that
represent the bolts, alignment pins or studs being analyzed. The shear forces will be combined
into a composite total shear vector using the SRSS method. The bolt, pin, stud stress evaluations
will determine stresses acting on the bolts and the allowable stresses for a snug-tight bolt using
the ASD method and a = 2.00. User Note from Section J3.7: If the required stress in either
tension only or shear only is less than or equal to 30% of the corresponding available allowable
stress, the effects of combined stress are NOT required to be evaluated.
4.4 Load Definitions and Combinations

The following tables, Table 4-20, Table 4-21 and Table 4-23, give load combinations for the
code evaluations. Table 4-20 provides the load combinations for use in evaluations in accordance
with Allowable Strength Design (ASD) section AISC N690-12 Specification for the Design,
Fabrication, and Erection of Steel Safety Related Structures for Nuclear Facilities (Ref. 6.3.1).
Table 4-23 provides the load combinations and allowable stresses for nozzles in accordance with
the requirements of ASME B&PV Code, Section VIII, Division 2 (Ref. 6.3.10). Table 4-21
provides the loading and capacity definitions for evaluation of piping in accordance with the
requirements of ASME B31.3, Process Piping (Ref. 6.3.15). Seismic Anchor Movements
(SAMs) have not been included. Each of the code load combinations will be evaluated to
determine which loads are not applicable to the LAWPS CFF system (e.g. wind, snow, crane,
etc.). The bounding load combination(s) are then selected and presented in the corresponding
tables below.
4.4.1 AISC N690 Evaluations

AISC 360-10 (Ref. 6.3.2), Section B3.4 requires the design to be completed according to the
provisions for allowable strength design (ASD) and the allowable strength of each structural
component equals or exceeds the required strength determined on the basis of the ASD load
combinations. The design shall be performed in accordance with:
Ra Rn/ (Ref. 6.3.2, Eqn B3-2)
Where:
Ra = required strength using ASD load combinations
Rn = nominal strength, specified in Chapters B through K
Page 28 of 44
= 2 safety factor
Rn/ = allowable strength
AISC N690-12 (Ref. 6.3.1), Section NB3.4 modifies AISC 360-10 (Ref. 6.3.2) to permit
multiplying the allowable strength by 1.6, except for members or fasteners in axial tension or in
shear which are limited to 1.5 as stipulated in Section NB2.6d(8). Section NB2.6 provides a
series of load combinations for normal, severe environmental, and extreme
environmental/abnormal in equations NB2-10 through NB2-18 and the definitions provided in
NB2.1-NB2. 4.. Table 4-20 summarizes the loads and load combinations deemed applicable to
the LAWPS CFF system (e.g. wind, snow, crane, etc.). If required, the ductility factor, , can be
obtained from Table NB3.1 to account for impulsive forces and inelastic analyses.

property is not provided in ASCE 8-02, ASME BPVC, Section II, Part D, Table 1A (Ref. 6.3.8)
will be used. Scale factors to be determined based on type of load and section (i.e. compact, weak
axis bending, etc.)
D = dead loads during normal operating, start-up or shutdown conditions as described in Section
4.4.4
L = live load (e.g. floor loadings, attached piping design pressure loadings, etc.) during normal

4.4.2 ASME B31.3 Evaluations

All piping components shall be evaluated in accordance with ASME B31.3-12 (Ref. 6.3.15)
along with Hanford specific requirements identified in TFC-ENG-STD-22 (Ref. 6.2.4) and TFC-
ENG-DESIGN-C-60 (Ref. 6.2.5) as well as recommendations and guidance from reference
6.3.15, Chapter 1. In addition, all minimum piping will be evaluated to determine the required
wall thickness including internal and external allowances for erosion, corrosion, etc. in
accordance with paragraphs 304.1 and 304.2. The mill tolerance must also be included in the
final determination of the acceptable pipe wall thickness. For Load Cases 69, 72 and 73, the
section modulus, Zc, is based upon the minimum wall thickness including erosion, corrosion,
etc. However, for Load Case 75 the section modulus, Z, is the based upon the nominal wall
thickness and excludes material allowances such as erosion, corrosion, etc. Note that neither
section modulus includes mill tolerance, as this is only included in the determination of the
minimum wall thickness calculation.

4.4.3 ASME Section VIII Evaluations

All vessels, confinements or thin-walled components subjected to internal or external pressures
or with piping interface nozzles will be evaluated using the load combinations from ASME
BPVC, Section VIII, Division 2 (Ref. 6.3.10), Part 4, paragraph 4.1.5.3 and Table 4.1.2. General
Primary Membrane (Pm) equivalent stress is defined as the average primary stress across a solid
section due to mechanical loads. However, it excludes any structural discontinuities and stress
concentrations (Ref. 6.3.10, Part 5, paragraph 5.13 and Figure 5.1). General Primary Membrane
plus Bending (Pm + Pb) equivalent stress is defined as the average primary stress across a solid
section due to mechanical loads. However, it excludes any structural discontinuities and stress
concentrations (Ref 6.3.10, Part 5, paragraph 5.13 and Figure 5.1). A region of stress is
considered as local if the distance over which the equivalent stress exceeds 1.1S does not extend
in the meridional direction more than (), where R is the inside radius and t is the minimum
material thickness.
All material properties and general membrane allowable stresses (S) shall be taken from ASME
BPVC, Section II, Part D (Ref. 6.3.8) at the design temperature. For Load Case 83, use the lesser
of 3S or 2Sy for designs that must withstand the load combination without significant plastic
deformation. If deformation is acceptable, but the vessel or thin-walled component cannot
rupture, the larger of 3S or 2Sy can be used.

S = Allowable stress per Table 1A, Ref. 6.3.10
Sy = Yield stress per Table Y-1, Ref. 6.3.8
Pvc = Internal or External Design Pressure as applicable to vessels, confinement thin-
walled components (excluding piping components) (Section 4.4.5)
Ps = Static head from liquid or build materials as applicable to vessels or thin-walled
components (Section 4.4.5).
D = Dead weight of the vessel, contents, and appurtenances at the location of interest,
weight of vessel or thin-walled components, and static reactions from the weight of

components (Section 4.4.5)
L = Live loading, includes effects of appurtenance live loading, fluid pressure and flow,
steady state and transient, loads resulting from wave action, etc. (Sections 4.4.5)
E = Earthquake loads (Section 4.4.8)
F = Loads due to Deflagration. HTA loads (Section 4.4.6) are most applicable to this type
of transient loading
4.4.4 Dead Load

Dead loads are based on the weight of the equipment and appurtenances. Process piping, vessels
and thin-walled component weights will include both the weight of the piping/vessel/thin-walled
component material, insulation, and fluid contents as applicable. A 1g vertical acceleration will
be applied in the analytical model to obtain the influence of the dead load. A load factor of 0.9
will be applied for those load combinations including the minimum influence of the dead load
(Ref. 6.3.9, Sect. 3.6.3.4.1, Table, Note 2).
4.4.5 Live Load

Depending on the evaluation code, there are a variety of potential live loads. Examples include:
due to occupancy and moveable equipment, including impact (AISC N690)
pressure retention plus the weight of the medium transported or the medium used
for test. Snow and ice loads due to both environmental and operating conditions
(ASME B31.3)
effects of appurtenance live loading, fluid pressure and flow, steady state and
transient, loads resulting from wave action, etc. (ASME BPVC)
For this scope of work, the primary live loads to be considered will be the piping fluid contents
(Section 4.3.1) and piping design pressure (Section 4.3.1.2). The maximum design pressures are
defined in the mechanical system datasheets, the SOW and procurement specification. As they
are identified, other live loads can be added and applied separately as needed to meet defined
code load combinations.
4.4.6 Hydraulic transient loads

Hydraulic Transient Analysis (HTA) pressures and forces were determined in separate
calculations by AECOM using AFT IMPULSE. HTA Forces (HTF) and Pressures are expected
to be negligible and have been removed from the design scope by WRPS for many process lines
(see assumption 3.1.5). Where HTA pressures and HTFs are available, the pressure increases
due to the HTA loads will be added to the operating pressure for a maximum accident pressure.
The maximum of the operating plus HTA pressure or the design pressure will be used for the
ASME B31.3-12 (Ref. 6.3.15) occasional load case. The forces due to the HTA pressures will be
considered an abnormal load based upon the other considerations discussed in AISC N690-12
(Ref. 6.3.1), Section NB2.6d(7). For ASME BPVC (Ref. 6.3.9 and 6.3.10) evaluations, the HTA
pressure and force loads will be applied as external forces and pressure loads respectively (as
applicable) to the occasional load case.
Page 33 of 44
Based upon the preliminary results from the AFT IMPULSE HTA performed by AECOM, the
design pressure defined in Section 4.3.1.2 is greater than operating pressure plus any HTA
pressures. Therefore, the design pressure will be applied as a static pressure load case in all live
load/pressure cases. The AFT IMPULSE HTA forces will be doubled, to account for dynamic
effects, and added as static forces at the specific piping components (e.g. at elbows, tees, etc.). If
directionality is known, it will be used for each force in each location. If directionality is not
known, the maximum allowable force (typically the PUREX connector) will be applied at each
piping component in each of the appropriate Cartesian directions for the component orientation,
with each Cartesian direction a separate load case. These Cartesian HTA force load cases will
then be combined into a single resultant HTA force load case using the SRSS (Square Root of
the Sum of the Squares) method. The resultant HTA force load case is then combined with rest
of the code specific load combination load cases as defined above. If SRSS method proves too
conservative and the actual HTA loads are not available, the maximum PUREX connector forces
may be statically applied with an assigned directionality based upon geometry and physical
arrangement of the piping system being analyzed.
4.4.7 Temperature
The design of SSC in particular systems, shall include the effects of stresses and movements
resulting from variations in temperature. The SSC design shall consider the effects on the
required Limit State of change in temperature from the design temperatures and the minimum or
maximum indoor design temperatures. See Section 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 for temperatures for piping
and structural sections. For this scope of work there is no differentiation between operating and
accident temperatures. All evaluations will be done at the maximum design temperature. All
temperature differential (T) calculations will be based upon the difference between the design
temperature and minimum indoor design temperature, 61F (Ref. 6.1.5, Requirement 224.02)
4.4.8 Seismic Load

Natural Phenomena Hazard seismic loads are defined using three orthogonal response spectra for the
specific skid location in the facility. The model x, y and z direction correspond to the East/West,
North/South and vertical directions respectively. Refer to the RPP-RPT-58553-06 (Ref. 6.1.4,
Section 4.0) and any applicable datasheets for the quality and seismic designation for each
component type. Table 4-24 summarizes the component SDC and Limit States for the
components and assemblies that are included in the BTP long lead procurement. These were
extracted from the Basis of Design (Ref. 6.1.5), Safety Control Development and Design
Integration Report (Ref. 6.1.4) and the Safety Systems and Components Natural Phenomenon
Hazard Performance Requirements (Ref. 6.1.9). the Safety Systems and Components Natural
Phenomenon Hazard Performance Requirements report, Appendix A provides definitions of each
limit state and Table A-1 provides guidance for the selection of a Limit State if not defined
below, in equipment specifications or datasheets, or other project documents.

The SDC-1 and SDC-2 seismic demands are determined in accordance with ASCE 7, Chapter 13
(Ref. 6.3.5). The seismic forces are calculated based upon the following inputs (Ref. 6.1.5,
Section 3.9.19.4 & Ref. 6.1.8, Section 1.8.2). Table 4-25 below shows the response modification
coefficients for the seismic design of SDC-1 and SDC-2 components that were extracted from
13-2-008, Table A-2 (Ref. 6.1.9). Loads resulting from seismic events shall be considered to act
concurrently with normal operating loads (dead and occasional loads, pressure, thermal, etc.) and
shall be combined by absolute sum.
Horizontal Input Seismic Force (FP):

SDS = 0.588
SD1 = 0.192
Vertical Input Seismic Force (Ref. 6.1.5, Section 3.9.19.4 & Ref. 6.1.8, Section 1.8.2):

The SDC-3 seismic input shall consist of in-structure response spectra (ISRS) for the
structures at the elevations at which the SSC are mounted. Damping for seismic
qualification shall be as specified in ASCE 43, Table 3-2 (Ref. 6.3.7). Loads resulting
from seismic events shall be considered to act concurrently with normal operating loads
(dead and occasional loads, pressure, thermal, etc.) and shall be combined by absolute
sum.
SDC-3 components will be initially based upon the 2005 interim seismic design response spectra
(Assumption 3.1.2), which was provided in RPP-38172, Attachment C, Figure 3 (Ref. 6.1.6).
This Response Spectra represents a damping of 5%. Table 4-26 and Table 4-27 provide the
horizontal (model X and Y axes) and the vertical (model Z axis) respectively. Three orthogonal
response spectra shall be applied and the results combined by the SRSS method. Modal
combinations are performed using the Grouping Method. The grouping method used within
ANSYS is consistent with the requirements from NRC 1-92. To account for mass not
participating, additional load cases are performed that account for the mass not participating
dynamically. These missing mass load cases along with the response spectrum load case are
combined using the SRSS method.
SDC-2 components can be qualified using the equivalent static method. If the equivalent
static method is chosen, the analysis will be based upon conservative assumptions to
maximize seismic accelerations and loads. This will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
However, due to the large amount of potential interaction between skids, process
equipment, etc., the qualifications will primarily be done using a full response spectrum
analyses.
