\ BooknewsThe most recent standards providing minimum requirements and acceptable methods for the seismic analyses of safety-related structures of a nuclear facility. The standards provide methodologies for calculating seismic responses in structures and to derive input motions for use in the seismic qualifications of electric and mechanical systems and components. Modeling and analysis of structures and their interaction with soils are covered and special structures such as buried pipes and conduits, earth-retaining walls, above-ground vertical tanks, raceways, and seismic-isolated structures are covered.
