PURPOSE:
SGRP 1R15 will install two temporary Palfinger cranes on the bio-shield walls in Unit 1
containment during plant operation modes 5 & 6. Also to expedite the construction, existing
concrete snubber blocks need to be moved out of containment building.
Purpose of this calculation is to investigate structural adequacy of concrete at elevation 140 ft of

Containment Building in heavy load exclusion zone for accidental load drop during installation of
these temporary cranes and removal of snubber blocks. The proposed load path for installation
of these cranes is shown on attachment “A” to this calculation.
Each crane assembly consists of:

1- Palfinger base plate, Weight: 5600 lbs
2- Palfinger hydraulic unit, Weight: 11000 lbs

3- Palfinger crane, Weight: 22000 lbs
Concrete snubber block, Maximum weight: 12000 lbs

METHODOLOGY:
Methodology established per DCM C-58 Rev. 0 (Auxiliary, Turbine & Containment Building
Floors: Structural Analysis & Evaluation of Building Floors Subjected to Accidental Drop of
Heavy Loads) will be used to qualify the concrete slabs for impact loads due to accidental
Heavy Load Drop.
ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA:
Concrete at elevation 140 ft of containment building in heavy load exclusion zone area within
the load path must satisfy requirements of accidental load drop per DCM C-58 Rev. 0 (Auxiliary,
Turbine & Containment Building Floors: Structural Analysis & Evaluation of Building Floors
Subjected to Accidental Drop of Heavy Loads).

CALCULATION:
Structural Response by Energy Balance Method
The strain energy required to stop the target missile combination is the sum of the kinetic energy of the
missile and the target masses at the end of the duration of the impact.
Consider plastic impact.
(Ref. 23, page 3-3)
Where:
Mm= mass of missile, lbs = W weight of item, lbs / 32.2 ft/sec 2
Me= effective mass of target during impact, lbs

Vs = missile striking velocity, ft/s
Es= strain energy,
Vs= where h is the height of drop (ft) & g = 32.2 ft/sec 2
Target effective mass:
The effective target mass during impact varies from a low value at initial contact and generally increases
to an upper limit during or at the end of the impact duration. The average effective mass can, however,
be estimated using the following formula:
(Ref. 9, page 3-6)
Where:
Dx= maximum missile contact dimension in the x direction (longitudinal axis for beams or slabs), ft
Dy= maximum missile contact dimension in the y direction (transverse to long. axis for beams or slabs), ft
T= thickness or depth of concrete element, ft
c= weight per unit volume of concrete, pcf
g= acceleration of gravity, 32.2 ft/s 2

REV. NO. 0
SHEET NO. 7
Sheikholeslami
Per reference 23, page 4-1; the average moment of inertia I for cracked concrete calculated as follows:
Where:
; ; ; ; ;
;
I g = moment of inertia of gross concrete section about its center (neglecting steel areas), in 4
I cr = moment of inertia of the cracked concrete section, in 4

F = coefficient for moment of inertia of cracked section with tension reinforcing only
Ec= modulus of elasticity of the concrete (4535.0 kips/in 2)

Est= modulus of elasticity of the steel (29000 kips/in 2)
p = ratio of tensile reinforcement

p’ = ratio of compressive reinforcement
b = width of concrete section, inches

d = distance from extreme compression fiber to center of tension reinforcement
t = concrete thickness, inches

Per PG&E, DCM No. T-1B, R/7, use f’ c = 6330 psi for concrete and F y = 68.079 ksi for # 11 rebar
Per ACI 349-01, Code Requirements for Nuclear Safety Related Concrete Structures, 2001 use dynamic
increase factor of 1.1 for steel rebar., Therefore Fy = 68.079 ksi X1.1 = 74.89 ksi for reinforcing bars.
E c = 57000 = 4535 ksi, = 0.20

Installation of Palfinger crane between RCP 1-3 & RCP 1-4:
Refer to attachment “A”, Palfinger components will enter the heavy load exclusion zone over the Steam
Generator cubical concrete wall (top of the wall at elevation 151 ft) and will be carried over concrete
cubical walls to their final destination. Maximum lift height (bottom of lifted component) will be at
elevation 190 ft. Therefore we will postulate a load drop of 22000 lbs from height of 191-151 = 40 ft on
top of the wall to envelope all of the Palfinger components.

Refer to drawings 438233 & 438234 & referenced concrete lift drawings, the most critical case for
cubical walls is for the wall in N-S direction which is mainly supported by a 7 ft deep concrete beam at
elevation 140 ft. This 7 ft deep concrete beam is 4.25 ft wide with 18 # 11 reinforcing rebars at the
bottom and 5 # 11 bars at the top. We will consider a simply supported span of 30 ft for this beam.

ft of containment building in load exclusion zone inside the polar crane rails mainly consists of 4.5 ft and
5 ft thick slabs with # 11 reinforcing bars @ 12” top & bottom both ways. For purpose of load drop
