With the project case, the seismic performance of girder transfer floor member and the plate transfer floor member were discussed. Contrast calculation was carried out in girder transfer floor member and the plate transfer floor member with SATWE method to analyze its reasonable and unreasonable places. Based on overall structure calculation of a high rise building, the seismic design requirements for buildings applying thick transferring plate have been presented. The conclusion is that the seismic performance of girder transfer floor member is more advantageous and affordable, more convenient and more economical in ingredients.

Current Code

In building structure, staircase is more complex and relatively weak. As an important emergency routes when earthquakes and other emergencies (such as fire, explosion, etc.) take place, stairs subject highly evacuation live or seismic load, destruction of the stair caused delay of evacuation and affected the commencement of rescue work, and produced serious injury or death. Investigation of Wenchuan earthquake damage also finds that many stairs broken before the main structure. In the current code for seismic designof building, seismic design advice of stairs was only given instructionally, and specific calculation methods and construction requirements were lacked. Based on the analysis of earthquake destroy of stairs in frame structure, this paper proposes some design requirements of stair.

A summary of The 2006 Forum on Seismic Design of Piping Systems for the Year 2010 is provided. This forum session is the tenth in a series that was started in 1992. Previously, the title was Appropriate Criteria and Methods for Seismic Design of Nuclear Piping. In this 2006 forum, the main topics of discussion were: “SSE only” design, a comparison of the Level B (OBE) and Level D (SSE) design requirements, and inspection after an earthquake.

Effective Design

The design of nuclear piping systems has evolved significantly since the first Section III plants were constructed in the early 70s. Effective design to accommodate seismic loads is the dominant problem in the industry. The Section III code committee has been working since the late 80s to develop new seismic stress limits. Code revisions were incorporated in 1994, but to date, have not been accepted by NRC. Hence, appropriate piping seismic stress limits is one very significant technical issue. A second significant issue is revisions to seismic design requirements in 10CFR50 that NRC has made. It is now acceptable to design only for SSE loads, if the plant is shut down for inspection for a seismic event of equal to or greater than 1/3 the SSE. A third issue is whether the amplified response levels required for modern designs are reasonable and appropriate. The purpose of this paper is to explore these three issues. Recommendations are provided.
