Pit Disassembly & Conversion Facility
Savannah River Site, SC
SGH performed seismic soil-structure interaction (SSI) studies of the new pit disassembly and conversion facility in accordance with ASME NQA-1 requirements. The Department of Energy facility has large and closely spaced reinforced concrete buildings connected by buried tunnels. Certain buildings are buried or covered by berms, while others are above grade with uneven soil support. The facility is on deep soil layers with rock deeper than 800 feet. With these conditions, the seismic SSI analysis becomes an important requirement for the structural design process.
