1.0 NRC COMMENT
With reference to the response on page 2 of reference 3, show through sample calculations that the use of equivalent unreinforced walls in the analysis of reinforced walls will yield conservative results.
RESPONSE
The field survey on IE Bullletin 80-11 for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant located ten walls that were reinforced in both horizontal and vertical directions. Of the ten walls, six were in the Control Building, three in the Turbine Building, and one in the Reactor Building. The majority of the remaining walls were found to have horizontal joint reinforcement only.
The criteria for reevaluation was based on the assumption that the allowable stresses for tension both parallel and normal to the bed joint were such that the wall would remain uncracked at these levels of allowable stresses. Furthermore, the reinforcement in a reinforced masonry wall does not contribute to the resistance of applied loads until the wall section cracks. Thus the reinforcement provides a backup resistance activated when the wall cracks by exceeding the allowable stresses for an unreinforced wall.
Of the ten reinforced walls, the analysis showed six resisted the applied loads without cracking, i.e., did not exceed the unreinforced allowable stresses. Two cracked along the bed joints and two cracked both along the bed joints and perpendicular to the bed joints. The four walls that cracked did so over less than half of their surface area.
The four reinforced walls that the analysis showed would crack had the uncracked and cracked properties listed in Tables 1 and 2, respectively.
To calculate the frequencies and resulting forces on the cracked walls, the following procedure was used. The initial analysis of the uncracked walls were used to estimate the extent of cracking in the wall. The cracked areas were then assigned the orthotropic properties of the cracked walls given in Table 2 and reanalyzed. This process was repeated until the full extent of cracking was determined. Table 3 gives the respective first mode frequencies for the four walls in the uncracked, partially cracked and fully cracked state.

The four reinforced walls analyzed by this procedure all had adequate capacity to resist the applied seismic forces in the partially cracked state.

The masonry walls at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Station were reevaluted on the basis that all walls were unreinforced. The allowable stresses for the reevaluation of the reinforced walls were based on the premise that the walls would remain uncracked if the allowable stresses were not exceeded. If a wall did not meet the criteria, but had two-way or at least vertical reinforcing, it was analyzed further. Four walls fell into this category. If a wall, on the other hand, did not meet this criteria and did not have at least vertical reinforcing, it was checked by alternate means.
For the four reinforced walls that were shown to crack, the extent of cracking was studied and the walls reanalyzed with reduced stiffness properties for the cracked regions. The four walls analyzed with this procedure were found to meet the criteria for reinforced walls.
The allowable moment capacity of 6" and 8" verticaly reinforced masonry walls is at least 4.0 to 4.9 and 3.2 to 5.1 times greater, respectively, than that of an equivalent unreinforced, ungrouted wall. Similar values for horizontally reinforced masonry walls are 2.3 and 1.8 times greater moment capacity for 6" and 8" walls, respectively.
Based on the assumptions and criteria used to reevaluate the masonry walls at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Station, the presence of reinforcement will not have any adverse effect. In fact, the presence of vertical and horizontal reinforcement will provide an additional factor of safety if the wall cracks when subjected to applied loads.

2.0 NRC COMMENT
Provide the results of the masonry wall analysis and identify the walls whose calculated stresses exceed the allowables in Table 1 and 2 of Reference 3.
RESPONSE
A summary of all the masonry wall analyses for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant is presented here in a tabular form (See "Summary of Wall Analysis"). Based on plate analysis, a summary of the stress levels are also presented here in a tabular form (See "Summary of Masonry Walls Re-evaluation"). The table contains each wall's status in regard to the criteria and the major results, both in-plant and out-of-plane. Where necessary, a brief comment is made.
According to the table ("Summary of Masonry Walls Reevaluation") only Wall Nos. 210, 226 and T324 are overstressed with regard to Tables 1 and 2 of the criteria.
Walls 210, 226 and T324 pass by arching action (See Response No. 8).

3.0 NRC COMMENT
Indicate whether seismic loading in the vertical direction was considered in the analysis.
RESPONSE
In the Masonry Wall Evaluation, the vertical seismic loading was included in the following manner. Vertical loads and locations of all loads acting on each wall were established. The walls were evaluated for each set of loads both for local effects and for global effects, in accordance with the reevaluation criteria.
The vertical inertial loads of the walls were ignored because in general the maximum acceleration for the vertical motion (the ZPA) was less than 0.2g and did not produce tension in the bed joints or add significantly to the gravitational compression.
The stresses resulting from the analysis for the vertical equipment loads are very low when compared to the allowable values.

4.0 NRC COMMENT
With respect to frequency shift and out-of-plane drift effects, show that the use of single wythe walls for analyzing multiple wythe walls will yield conservative results.
RESPONSE
Each wythe in a multiwythe wall was assumed to respond as a single wythe wall. Two double wythe walls (Walls No. 305 and 406) were selected to compare the results obtained from the wall acting either as a single or double wythe wall using the re-evaluation criteria. In using the re-evaluation criteria the walls were assumed to have pinned supports at all appropriate boundaries. As a consequence no forces are induced in the wall due to out-ofplane drift. The validity of this assumption is addressed in response Number 6. Some of the results of response Number 6 are included in this response for the purpose of addressing comment Number 4. Wall 305 is 114 inches long, 258 inches high and consists of two wythes of six inch wide units. Wall 406 is 114 inches long, 96 inches high and consists of two wythes of six inch wide units. Each wall was analyzed as both a single and double wythe wall using the same number of nodes, mesh size and boundary conditions. Two boundary conditions were used for each wall; a pinned support on each boundary and a fixed support on each boundary. For the fixed boundary condition the out-of-plane drift effects were included as reported in Response No. 6.
The results of the analyses performed using the simply supported boundary conditions are given in Table 1 and 2. Table 1 compares the frequencies of each wall acting either as a single or double wythe wall. Table 2 compares the maximum stress ratios for each wall acting either as a single or double wythe wall. The values given in Table 2 are based on the procedures given in the re-evaluation criteria. That is the walls are assumed to have simply supported boundary conditions. The results given in Table 3 are extracted from Response Number 6 and provide a comparison of the single or double wythe wall with fixed boundary conditions incorporating the effects of out-of-plane drift.
From the results presented in Table 1 it is clear that the single wythe assumption is conservative with respect to frequency shift. The fundamental or first mode frequency of the double wythe wall is approximately twice that of the single wythe wall. For walls with more than two wythes the shift in frequency would be even greater. The effect of out-of-plane drift depends on how it is incorporated in the analysis of the walls and is further discussed in Response Number 6.
4-1
For the case of simply supported boundary conditions, out-of-plane drift does not induce moments and shear forces in the walls. The maximum stress ratios given in Table 2 indicate that the maximum stresses in the double wythe wall are approximately one-third to one-half of those of the corresponding single wythe wall. For the case of fixed boundary conditions, incorporating out-of-plane drift, the results of Table 3 show that for a relatively low wall (<9')(wall 406) the stress ratios increase. However, these walls in general are not highly stressed and the increased stress ratios are still well below the capacity of the walls. For higher walls (Wall 305), the single wythe assumption is conservative in that the stress ratios decrease significantly when compared to the double wythe wall. This illustrates that the single wythe assumption for fixed boundary conditions is conservative for more highly stressed walls and yields conservative results.
Two walls were selected to demonstrate that the use of the single wythe assumption for multiple wythe walls results in a conservative evaluation with respect to frequency shift and out of plane drift considerations. The results indicate that the frequency of the double wythe walls are almost twice those of the equivalent single wythe wall. Therefore, from frequency shift considerations the use of the single wythe assumption is conservative because the fundamental frequency of each wall was either at the peak of the spectra or off it in the higher frequency range. The impact on out-of-plane considerations depends on how this is incorporated in the analysis. With the method used in the reevaluation criteria no moments or shear forces are induced in the wall due to out-ofplane drift effects and the maximum stress ratios from other out-of-plane forces in the double wythe wall are approximately one-third to one-half of those in .the single wythe wall. If fixed boundary conditions are used and out-of-plane drift effects are included, then the maximum stress ratios in the double wythe walls were less than those in the single wythe wall for higher and more critically stressed walls. For shorter walls, the stress ratios increased when the wall was considered to be double wythe, but the increased stress ratios are still well below the capacity of the walls.
The single wythe assumption is therefore conservative for the procedures specified in the re-evaluation criteria and is reasonably conservative for the procedure of including out-ofplane drift effects specified in Response Number 6.

5.0 NRC COMMENT
With reference to section 6.6 of reference 3, provide justification for not using a factor of 1.5 times the floor acceleration for multiplying the equipment weight as suggested in Section 3.7.2 of the standard review plan.
RESPONSE
The "Standard Review Plan" document was published by the NRC in 1975, whereas the Monticello Plant "Final Safety Analysis Report" was published in July 1969. The "Standard Review Plan" is .not considered applicable to the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant.
In analyzing each wall, two methods were used -- an equivalent static method and a dynamic modal analysis method.
Prior to any wall analysis all applicable equipment masses and loads (in-plane, out-of-plane and vertical) were established. The loads were calculated by assuming all equipment to be flexible and its mass multiplied by the peak of the applicable floor response spectrum. The wall was then statically analyzed for these loads. However, it should be noted that the equipment was rigidly attached to the walls.
The dynamic analysis procedure was the response spectrum method using the SRSS method for combining.the modal results for the 5 lowest modes. In this method the weight of all equipment attached to the walls was included in the dynamic model in the form of lumped masses at nodes close to or at the actual equipment locations. The addition of these masses produces lower wall frequencies and also increases the out-of-plane differential displacement at the equipment locations, resulting in increased applied moments. The results.of the two analyses (static and dynamic) were then added absolutely,
The "Standard Review Plan" document referenced by the NRC in its response to the "Masonry Wall Evaluation" for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant" is not considered applicable because it was published at a later date than the plants' FSAR. However, both a static and dynamic analysis which included equipment forces and weight were performed on each wall with the results added absolutely. This method of analysis is adequate to account for the effect of the rigid equipment attached to a wall.

6.0 NRC COMMENT
Indicate The boundary conditions used for analyzing the masonry walls and provide justification for those boundary conditions.
RESPONSE
All walls were analyzed in accordance with the procedures given in "Criteria for the Re-evaluation of Concrete Masonry Walls for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant." To assess the out-ofplane response of the walls, the boundary conditions at all supports were assumed to be pinned. This assumption was made for the following reason.
1. The stresses resulting from out-of-plane seismic load are conservative.
2. The boundary rotations required for the existence of pinned supports are very small and will exist regardless of what type of fixity is used to prevent it. A field inspection of the walls indicated this was the only reasonable assumption.
In assessing the effect of out-of-plane drift effects on the walls the same assumption of pinned boundary conditions was used for consistency in the analytical procedures. With this assumption no forces are induced in the walls when out-of-plane interstory drift effects are assessed. Two walls (Wall Nos. 305 and 406) were selected to compare the results that would be obtained if fixed rather than simply supported boundary conditions had been assumed. Wall No. 305 is 114 inches long and 258 inches high and Wall No. 406 is 114 inches long and 96 inches high. Each wall is double wythe and was analyzed as a single and double wythe wall with both fixed and simply supported boundary conditions. For the fixed boundary conditions the effects of out-of-plane interstory drift were included in the analysis. The stresses resulting from out-of-plane seismic loads were combined absolutely with those resulting from out-of-plane drift effects. Out-ofplane drift effects were calculated by imposing the Out-ofplane displacement at the top of the wall with the wall fixed against rotation at both the top and the bottom of the wall.
A summary of the maximum stress ratios resulting from the eight analyses performed are given in Table 1. Care must be exercised in evaluating the results because the maximum stresses do not fall in the same region of the wall for the different boundary conditions. In the case of the simply supported boundary conditions the maximu'm stress ratios are towards the center of the wall and for the fixed boundary conditions they are close to or
6-1
The results for Wall 305, which has a height-to-length ratio of 2 to 1 indicate that the maximum stress ratios of the simply supported boundary conditions for a single wythe wall are conserative when compared with those of the fixed boundary conditions that include out-of-plane interstory drift effects. The maximum stress ratio for this wall occurred on a vertical strip and was reduced by almost one-fourth when fixed bundary conditions were used. When the same comparison is made for the double wythe wall, again the maximum stress ratio, which was on a horizontal strip, was reduced by almost one-third. However, the maximum stress ratio on the vertical strip increased from 0.13 to 0.22. In comparing the three analyses; 1) single wythe with fixed boundaries and out-of-plane drift, 2) double wythe with simply supported boundaries and 3) double wythe with fixed boundaries and out-of-plane drift; the maximum stress ratios are all less than the ratios obtained from analyzing the wall with the procedures given in the re-evaluation criteria.
The results for Wall 406, which has a height-to-lenght ratio less than 1, are different from those of wall 305 in that the maximum stress ratios increase on the vertical strip when fixed boundary conditions are imposed. This is attributed to the wall geometry. In general drift induced moments are inversely proportional to the height, whereas the moments due to out-of-plane seismic loads increase in proportion to the square of the height.
Therefore, as the two examples illustrate, there are offsetting effects. Walls of medium to low height (5 to 8 ft.) such as Wall 406, are not highly stressed (30-35% of capacity when pinned boundary conditions are assumed). If fixed boundaries and interstory drifts are considered, then the resulting moments do increase. However, they remain in the region of 40-60% of the wall capacity. For higher walls such as Wall 305 (8 to 20 ft), the moments resulting from pinned boundary conditions are much higher than for low walls (40-100% of the wall capacity). However, when fixed boundary conditions and interstory drift effects are considered in these walls, there is a reduction in the resulting moments.
6-2
CONCLUSIONS
In summary, the procedure used in the re-evaluation criteria assumes the wall have pinned supports at the boundaries. It is our opinion that this is the most realistic representation of field conditions. In addition, the pinning produces a conservative estimate of the stresses resulting from out-of-plane seismic load for higher walls that are significantly stressed.
Two walls were selected to compare the maximum stress ratios obtained from the assumptions used in the re-evaluation criteria with those obtained from using the assumption that the top and bottom boundaries had fixed supports. The stresses obtained for the out-of-plane forces acting on the wall with fixed boundary conditions were added absolutely to those resulting from out-of-plane drift effects.
For the two walls that were analyzed, different results were obtained because of the different heights of the walls selected. For the shorter wall, fixed boundary conditions and interstory drift effects increased the moment on a vertical strip of the wall. However, since these walls in general are not highly stressed, the increased moment was still less than 50% of the capacity. For the higher wall, fixed boundary conditions and interstory drift effects decreased the moment on a vertical strip of the wall. Since these walls are in general the most highly stressed when pinned boundary conditions are assumed, fixed boundary conditions will result in a more conservative assessment.
From the results presented, it is clear that the impact of different boundary condition varies. For shorter walls and, in general, less highly stressed walls fixed boundary conditions will increase the moments on the walls. For taller walls and, in general, more highly stressed walls, fixed boundary conditions will decrease the moments on the walls. Therefore, the boundary conditions used in the reevaluation criteria are conservative for the more highly stressed walls and are the most realistic representation of field conditions.

RESPONSE
To provide a cross-section of the boundary conditions and openings of the masonry walls at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant, the four walls given in Table 1 were selected to document the results of the analyses.
The four walls include three without openings and one with a door opening. One of the walls is not connected at the top boundary but is pinned on the other three boundaries. One wall is pinned on the top, bottom and one side boundary. Two walls are pinned on all four boundaries.

T107A 6 Pinned on 4 sides None

All walls were analyzed in accordance with the procedures given in "Criteria for the Re-evaluation of Concrete Masonry Walls for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant". Specifically, plate analysis was used to assess the out-of-plane response of all walls. The computer program SAPIV was used to perform a finite element dynamic analysis ultilizing the response spectrum method. The Computech pre-processor program GENIN was used to generate input files for the analyses.
For each wall an eigenanalysis was performed to extract the first five frequencies less than 100Hz and mode shapes and the individual modal responses were combined using the square root of the sum of the squares procedures.
7-1
The SAP output was summarized using the post-processor computer program GENOUT. The computer printout of GENOUT lists seperately the values of the moments and reaction forces for first mode dynamic response, the SRSS of the first five modes of dynamic response and the values from static loads.
The detailed results of the analyses of the four walls are given in Appendices A through D. A summary of the results is given in Table 2 and 3. Table 2 contains a summary of results for walls 315, 615, and T130. Table 3 contains a similar summary of wall TI07A. For each wall an analysis was performed assuming the wall was single wythe with properties as determined in the field. The maximum moment parallel (Mx) and normal (My) to the bed joints and the maximum boundary shear force (F) are given in Tables 2 and 3. In Table 2 the value of each moment or force resulting from the first mode and the SRSS of the first five modes are given. Table 2 also contains the percentage contribution of the first mode to the SRSS of the first five modes for each maximum moment and force quantity.
Table 3 which contains a summary of results for wall T1O7A includes the results from the first mode, the SRSS of the first five modes and the SRSS of the first ten modes. In addition the table also contains the percentage contribution of the first mode to the SRSS of both the first 5 and 10 modes respectively for each maximum moment and force quantity. Also included is the percentage of the SRSS of the first 5 modes to the first 10 modes for each maximum moment and force quantity.
The results of the analyses for walls 315, 615 and T130 presented in Table 2 indicates that the first mode contributes between 91.9% and 99.9% of the SRSS of the first five modes for the maximum moments and boundary forces in the walls. Thus for the opening and boundary conditions of these three walls a first mode analysis would have been sufficient to produce over 90% of the total maximum response quantities. A five mode SRSS analysis is therefore adequate for these three walls.
The results for wall T1O7A presented in Table 3 indicate that the first mode contributes 98.9% of the SRSS of the first 5 modes of response and 98.7% of the SRSS of the first 10 modes of response. The percentage of SRSS of the first 5 modes to the SRSS of the first 10 modes is 99.3% and over for the maximum moments and forces. An SRSS of five modes is almost identical to an SRSS of ten modes.
7-2
CONCLUSIONS
Four walls were selected to provide documentation that the adoption of five (5) modes of response will generally provide over 99% of the total response. The four walls selected, covered the full range of boundary conditions and openings found in the masonry walls at the plant.
The results clearly indicate that five modes of SRSS response provide over 99% of the total response.
As all the masonry walls at the Monticello plant were analyzed using the first five modes of response it is clear that 99% of the total response of all the walls has been included in the analytical results.

8.0 NRC COMMENT
In reference 3, the licensee indicates that the "Arching Theory" has been used to qualify some of the masonry walls. The NRC does not accept the application of the arching theory to masonry walls in Nuclear Power Plants in the absence of conclusive evidence to justify this application. Provide conclusive justification for use of the Arching Theory.
RESPONSE
Blast tests on unreinforced masonry walls have shown that when these walls are confined between relatively rigid edge supports that can develop large in-plane clamping forces, they can develop a substantially higher capacity to resisting out-of-plane loads than would otherwise be predicted on the basis of conventional methods (References 1, 2, and 3). The development of this additional capacity is due to the mechanism of "arching action" i.e., the action of the wall butting against theedge supports and forming a threehinged arch after cracking in flexure occurs.
The basic behavior of arching action of an unreinforced masonry wall subject to out-of-plane loads can be illustrated by Figure
1. Assuming that gross sliding of.the wall does not occur initially under the load, the wall deflects under flexural action as the load increases. A flexural crack develops at the mid-span of the wall where the maximum bending moment is present. At this point the wall segments on both sides of the crack tend to rotate about the edge supports as the wall deflects under the load.
Because of the finite thickness of the wall, this rotation results in the wall jamming against the edge supports, and inducing axial compression in the wall. The wall resists the out-of-plane load by the mechanism of a three-hinged arch. The load resistance continues until the maximum resistance is reached due to gross instability (snap-through of a shallow arch), local crushing of masonry at the hinges, or yielding of the edge supports.
8-1
The load resistance by arching action as described above depends entirely on the magnitude of axial compression that can be developed as the result of the wall deflection. Its effectiveness is greatly influenced by the following parameters:
(a) The initial depth to span ratio of the arch which is governed by the wall thickness-to-height ratio;
(b) In-plane axial stiffness and capacity of the wall;
(c) Compressive stiffness and capacity of the edge supports in the axial direction of the wall;
(d) Initial gap between the edge support and the wall.
The existence of an initial gap has a profound effect on the mechanism of arching as depicted in Figure 2. As shown in this figure, two types of arching mechanism exist depending upon the existence of lateral support for the wall at the gap. If the wall has adequate lateral supports at the gap as shown in Figure 2-A, the arching mechanism takes a symmetrical form similar to that of the wall without a gap, except that the effect of an initial gap must be considered.
For the case that lateral supports, for the wall at the gap, are not present, the arching mechanism will take a "Non-symmetrical form" as shown in Figure 2-B. This results in an initial arch depth only one half as big as that for the same wall with the symmetrical arching mechanism. The reduction in the initial arch depth greatly decreases the effectiveness of arching action. Therefore, in the application of the archining theory only symmetrical arching for a wall without a gap or a gapped wall with adequate lateral supports is allowed. The non-symmetrical arching for a gapped wall is not permitted.
8-2
ANALYSIS OF SYMMETRICAL ARCHING ACTION
Mode and Assumptions
In order to analyze the capacity by arching action of a one-way unreinforced masonry wall, the model shown in Figure 3 is used. The model has the following assumptions.
(a) The wall geometry is symmetrical about the center span where a flexural crack will form immediately upon the application of a uniform lateral (out-of-plane) load on the wall:
(b) The wall is simple-supported laterally and has adequate lateral supports that prevent sliding of the wall under the application of lateral loads. For a gapped wall, this implies that lateral supports exist for the wall at the gap;
(c) The edge supports of the wall have a compressive elastic support spring stiffness coefficient K in the axial direction of the wall.
(d) The axial force P in the wall acts at the centroid of the compressive stress block or the contact areas between the wall and the edge supports and between the wall segments on either side of the center span flexural crack. The compressive stress block is assumed to be triangular when the block is in the elastic deformation range and rectangular in the plastic (crushing) deformation range. Crushing of the block is assumed to occur when the extreme fiber contact stress reaches the compressive strength of the block. (e) The lateral load on the wall is a uniform inertia load of magnitude q = q(t).
8-3
Formulations
Referring to Figure 3, the equilibrium, compatibility and constitutive
relations for a one-half span wall segment can be developed as follows:
a. Equilibrium Equation (Figure 3)
=L P ( Co +E1 8 (1)
Where
q = uniform lateral (out-of-plane) load on the wall
L = span of the wall
P = axial force in the wall
Eo 1 = locations of the axial forces (the locations of centroid of
the contact stress block) at the center span and edge
support, respectively, relative to the wall mid-surface.
A = lateral (out-of-plane) displacement of the wall at the center span.
Due to symmetry, identical contact stress blocks will develop at the center
span and the edge support of the wall; thereby:
To 1
This assumption is reasonable since the axial contact force P is identical
for all contact areas.
b. Compatibility Equation
Referring to Figures 4 and 5, the compatibility of rigid body displacement
requires that the chord length AA' joining the neutral axis (zero
compressive strain) locations at the center span and the edge support,
before and after the rigid body displacement be equal, i.e.:
[(1-2k)t] + 1( 2 = [(1-2kit - A_ + L 2r (3)
8-4
Where
t = thickness of the wall
kt = distance from the neutral axis to the extreme compressive fiber,
i.e. length of compressive stress block
C = rigid body axial displacement at the support
Since C/L<<1, Equation (3) can be reduced to:
A2 - 2(1-2k)tA + CL = 0 (4)
The rigid body axial displacement 4 at each support must match the sum
of axial displacements resulting from the wall's axial and bending de
formations, the initial gap, and the axial displacement of the edge
support. This condition can be expressed as:
C Us + Ua + Ub + CO; (See figure 5) (5) 2
where
Us = axial displacement of the edge support due to axial force P
Ua = axial shortening of the wall segment due to compressive force P
Ub = axial :shortening of the wall at the edge support due to bending
rotation of the wall under the combined action of axial force
P and the lateral load q.
Co = initial gap
8-5
c. Constitutive Relations '
The following constitutive relationships result from the consideration of
the wall segment as a beam model:
Ua = P(L/2) = PL (6) E(A/2) EA
Ub = PC L(1-2k)t - qL3.(1-2k)t (7) 4El 48El
where
E = Young's Modulus of the wall
A = Axial cross-sectional area of the wall
I = Bending moment of inertia of the wall
Note that one-half of the axial area of the wall is assumed effective
in Equation (6). This is to account for the local deformation effect
of the wall at the contact regions.
The axial displacement Us of the edge support with stiffness coefficient
K due to P can be written as:
Us = ( 8) K
3. Solution
Combining Equations (1), (2), (4), and (5) through (8) leads to:
A2 - 2A + Y = 0 (9)
Where
= (1-2K)t 1 - PL2 12El (10)
'= PL2 1 + EA - AC (1-2k)t + o
8-6
Equations (1) and (9) can be used to solve for A and q giving the load dis
placement relationship between q and A provided that( is known. The magni
tude of 5 can be determined from the assumption of stress blocks in the
elastic and plastic ranges.
a. Elastic Range
The assumption of triangular compressive stress block in the elastic range
leads to the following relation for ( for a solid wall:
= t - kt
(12)
For a rectangular hollow concrete block wall, E can be determined, as
shown in Figure 9, by the following:
= t - kt + 2kt - 1 C9 3
23 -_ _ (13)
1c2 1-C1C92
where C1, C2, and C3 are as defined in Figure 9.
The solution in the elastic range is valid until the extreme fiber
compressive--stress at the contact areas reaches the compressive strength
of the block, fm*
b. Plastic Range
Beyond the elastic range, 'the assumption of rectangular compressive stress
block leads to the following relation for ( for a solid wall:
= t - kt (14) 2 -2
8-7
For a rectangular hollow concrete block wall,Ccan be determined by the
following equation as shown in Figure 10:
where C'1 and C'2 are as defined in Figure 10.
tkt + kt 1 - C-' (C'2 )2
(15) 1 - C'1 C'2
8-8
4. Correlation with Tests
Research has been performed to document the arching phenomena. See figure 6 for references. Additional references can be found within each reference.
The conditions necessary for arching action are present in Nuclear Power Plant Facilities. In general many masonry walls are in fill panels surrounded by very rigid concrete and steel structures. Rigid boundaries provide favorable conditions for arching action to occur as shown by the tests performed in the references.
In order to check the accuracy of the Arching Theory developed previously, the results of the MIT tests on the static behavior of solid brick beams under lateral loads as reported in Reference 2 are used for correlation with the analysis. Correlation Analyses are made for two series of beam tests, namely the series of 3 beams 8-1, 8-2, 8-3, and the series of 12-1, 12-2, 12-3, as identified in Reference 2, Table II. All test beams are constucted of rectangular solid bricks. The first series of 3 beams have a span of 3 ft. The second series of 3 beams have a span of 12 ft. All beams were tested under fixed end conditions. Therefore, initial gaps were not present and a rigid edge support condition is considered to be reasonable.
Analyses for the two series of beam tests are based on the following parameters:
Series of 8-1, 8-2, 8-3 Series of 12-1, 12-2, 12-3
b =12 in b =12 in
b = 8 in t = 8 in
L = 96 in L = 144 in
f', = 900 psi f'm = 684 psi
E = 1000 ksi E = 1000 ksi
, o = 0 = 0
K = co K =
8-9
The values of f'm were obtained by averaging the test values of 3 beams in each series respectively. The results of the analysis are correlated with the test results as shown in Figure 7 for the series of 8-1, 8-2, and 8-3, and in Figure 8 for the series of 12-1, 12-2, 12-3. In each case, 3 load-displacement points were calculated, the first points correspond to the end of elastic response, and the other two points are the solutions in the plastic range.
From the comparison shown in Figure 7 and 8 it can be seen that the analysis results compare favorably with the test results.
APPLICATION TO OUT-OF-PLANE SEISMIC RESPONSE OF WALLS
The out-of-plane seismic response of a one-way unreinforced masonry wall can be analysed utilizing the load-displacement relationship by the arching action. Considering the cyclic nature of the seismic inertial load, only limited local crushing of the block at the contact regions should be permitted for conservatism. Therefore the maximum allowable out-of-plane uniform load gall is limited to 1/3 of the maximum load as predicted by the arching analysis.
It should be noted that a reduction of the allowable uniform load to 1/3 of the maximum load generally brings the allowable capacity of the wall to within the value of the elastic response (See Figure 7, 8 and 9). The reduction factor of 3 is consistent with the factor of safety that is generally used in the masonry industry in developing the code allowables.
In summary, the arching theory used for analyzing the out-of-plane response of unreinforced masonry walls has been developed on the basis of proven behavior observed in tests and with close correlation with available test results. The correlations show that the theory is reasonably accurate in predicting the maximum capacity of the walls. In application of the theory, conservative allowables are derived using a factor of safety of 3 which is consistent with the margin of safety of industry codes. Therefore, the application of arching action to analyse unreinforced walls subjected to an out-of-plane seismic inertial load is consistent with the industry code practice.

RESPONSE
Contruction Practices
Blocks were installed plumb, level and true to line and all corners and angles square as is evident in Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4. Levels and string lines to maintain accuracy were used as is especially evident in Figures 3 and 4.
Units were solidly bedded to mortar with vertical and horizontal joints being aproximately 3/8" inch thick. Joints were straight, clean and uniform in thickness. This is evident in Figures 4 and 5. Exposed masonry surfaces were free of mortar stain, concrete scum and grout stains. Any holes were filled. Any defective mortar joints were rejointed. This is evident in the finished walls in Figures 6 and 8 and in the first finished courses shown in Figure 3.
No exterior masonry was erected when the temperature was below 400F. Interior walls were allowed to be erected when the outside temperature was below 400F, provided that an ambient temperature above 40OF was maintained during erection and for a period of not less than 48 hours after erection was stopped.
Construction was performed in the enclosed portions of the buildings and was protected from .temperature extremes. Please note the shirt sleeved condition of men working in 'Figures 1, 3, 4, 5, and 7.
Blocks were neatly stacked and readily available for use at the jobsite. This is evident in Figures 4, 8, 9 and 10.
Care was taken so as not to chip, crack or damage masonry units when handling them during construction. Figure 9 shows a masons strap used to ease handling and placement of masonry units.
In general, only sufficient mortar was prepared in batches, of the volume, that would be used before initial set took
9-1
To aid in the alignment of.additional courses of masonry, the first course was placed to help align the remaining courses. See Figure 11.
As part of the construction practice, general inspection was performed by Bechtel field engineering personnel to ensure compliance with the requirements of the specification. See Figure 12 (Standard Concrete Block Masonry Report Work from December 16, 1968 to January 18, 1969).
Inspection
Adequate inspection and monitoring of the work was performed. Construction photographs were taken to record and monitor the construction of the walls. See Figures. 1 through 11. Construction/Engineering work releases were used to control the work performed by the subcontractor. Inspection reports were made during the construction of the walls. Block certification.reports were submitted by suppliers. See Figure 12 ("Standard Concrete Block Masonry Report of Work from December 16, 1968 to January 19, 1969). See Figures 13 and 14 (Concrete Block Release #43 and #44). See Figures 15 and 16 (Twin City Testing and Engineering Laboratory Inc. test results dated December 15, 1969 and January 12, 1970). See Figure 17 (Bechtel field engineers memo dated January 14, 1969). See Typical Inspection Report dated February 3, 1969, Figure 18.
Adequate construction methods were used to provide a reliable and durable wall that conforms to the drawings and specifications. Adequate inspection and monitoring was performed to justify the allowable mortar and masonry strengths used in the reevaluation.

10.0 NRC COMMENT
Provide values of allowable shear stress for flexural members for the case in which reinforcement takes the shear.
RESPONSE
The 1979 Uniform Building Code (UC-Table 24-H) and the ACI-531 Table 10-1 provide guidelines for maximum allowable working stresses in masonry. The values provided for shear are identical to those provided for 'service load shear values in the "Criteria for the Reevaluation of Concrete Masonry Walls - Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant." Missing from Table 1 of the reevaluation criteria are values for shear in flexural members where reinforcement takes the shear. For consistency the values from code s for this category have been added to the criteria. Table 1 of the criteria thus modified is accompanying this report.I

2 SHEAR IN FLEXURAL MEMBERS
The following Is a justification for using a stress increase factor of 1.5 for shear In flexural members for factored loads.
2.1 Test Programs To Date
References 1. 2. 3 and 4 contain results of several tests on concrete masonry beams and lintels failing both In flexure and shear. These test results form the basis of the flexural shear evaluation that follows below.
2.2 Evaluation of the Test Results
In the summary table. Table 2-1. the major results of the tests that exhibited a shear failure are listed. These are the two ratios listed. Ratio 1 and Ratio 2, which are the ultimate shear forces divided by the allowable shears for unfactored and factored loads respectively. The criteria specified flexural stresses are 1.1/Fm with a maximum of 50 psi for the unfactored loads (OBE) and 1.7w/fThi with a maximum of 75 psi for the factored loads (SSE). For each of the tests the maximum stress governed.
The weighted averages and ranges of the available test results are 5.85 with a range from 2.72 to 9.20 for the unfactored loads and 3.90 with a range from 1.81 to 6.13 for the factored loads.
2.3 Conclusions
The average factor of safety for the flexural shear stress for factored loads is 3.90 using a stress increase factor of 1.50. This margin of safety for a total of 21 tests Is deemed to be very satisfactory and fully justifies the use of the 1.5 stress Increase factor.

3 SHEAR WALLS
The following Is a justification for using stress increase factors for shear walls of 1.67-1.7 for factored loads.
3.1 Overview of Test Program
The results from an ongoing masonry test program being performed at the Earthquake Engineering Research Center. University of California. Berkeley. are used In this section to evaluate the in-plane shear strength of masonry piers. The tests basically consist of subjecting masonry piers to an in-plane cyclic shear load with the test setup shown in Figure 3-1. The results of the research have been reported in references 1. 2. 3. 4 and 5. The piers are tested by applying three cycles of load at a specified amplitude. The amplitude is gradually increased as the test progresses until the pier is unable to resist any further load. Each test was photographed after each set of three cycles of load, thereby providing detailed records of the crack pattern.
To date over ninety piers have been tested using three different types of materials. Thirty-five of the piers tested were constructed from hollow concrete block masonry units and of these six had a height-to-width ratio of 0.5. fifteen hid a height-to-width ratio of 1. and fourteen had a height-to-width ratio of 2. The piers were constructed from either 6-inch or 8-inch wide hollow concrete block units using Type M mortar. The strength of prisms constructed from the same materials that were used in the piers varied from 1350 to 3500 psi.
The information obtained from each test consisted of a plot of the force-deflection relationship for each cycle of loading. From this set of curves several parameters could be determined, including:
(a) Ultimate Strength
(b) Stiffness Degradation
(c) Hysteresis Envelope
(d) Deflection of Pier at each Loading Stage
3.1.1 Applicability of Test Results
The information obtained from the Berkeley test program is valuable In evaluating the in-plane shear performance of masonry piers subjected to seismic loads. A discussion on the applicablity of the test results is discussed separately with respect to the following variables -- loading. size of test specimen, boundary conditions, material strengths and reinforcement.
4
A. Loading
Although an earthquake type time history was not used as the input motion to the test specimen, the gradually increasing, amplitude dependent, cyclic loading was typical of that used in many other test programs on reinforced concrete and steel structural elements. The most important aspect of loading required to evaluate the seismic performance of structural elements is that the loading be cyclic or reversed. Other variables such as the rate of loading. sequence of loads. etc., may be important but are secondary in comparison to the requirement that the loading be cyclic.
B. Size of Test Specimen
The size of the test specimen used In the Berkeley test program was limited by the capacity of the actuators. The piers with a height-to-width ratio of 0.5 were 3 ft. 4 inches high and 6 ft. 8 inches long, the 1 to 1 piers were 4 ft. 8 inches high and 4 ft. long whereas the 2 to 1 piers were 5 ft. 4 inches high by 2 ft. 8 inches long. Although these sizes are generaly smaller than the walls found in the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. it Is assumed that they are of adequate size to represent the behavior of larger sized walls with the same aspect or height-to-width ratio. It should be noted that no experimental evidence is available to validate or refute this assumption.
The aspect or height-to-width ratios Included in the test program cover all the walls at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant.
C. Boundary Conditions
The boundary conditions of the piers tested In the Berkeley program were such that moment fixity was forced at both the top and bottom of the piers with no constraints on the vertical edges. Although this set of boundary conditions is different from that of most of the walls at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. It is believed that if the walls at the plant are confined either on three or four sides or at the top and bottom. then the performance of the walls will be similar to those tested in the Berkeley program. Confinement should be provided by either walls or columns capable. of resisting the loads Imposed by the concrete block walls.
5
D. Material Strenaths
The assumed compressive strength frm of the walls at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant was 1200 psi. This Is lower than the range of 1350-3500 psi of the prism strength of the piers included in the Berkeley test program. however. It is our opinion that the actual insitu f'm of the walls is within the range tested in the Berkeley program.
E. Reinforcement
The majority of the walls at Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant are unreinforced whereas all the piers of the Berkeley test program were reinforced. It is our belief that provided the walls at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant are confined on three or four sides or at the top and bottom. then cracks in the unreinforced wall will occur at similar strain levels to the piers tested.
3.2 Evaluation of Test Data
The data from thirty-three tests performed on hollow concrete block piers was evaluated on the basis of shear stress. in-plane loads on walls result from both imposed deflections and shear forces Imposed by piping and other equipment.
3.2.1 Shear Stresses for OBE and SSE Events
The test results from the Berkeley program were evaluated to determine In-plane shear stresses appropriate for OBE and SSE events. The evaluation was performed so that the function of a wall would not be impaired while it was resisting out-of-plane loads. During each pier test. photographs were taken after each set of three cycles of load at a specified amplitude. These photographs in conjunction with the hysteresis envelopes developed for each test were used to determine the appropriate state of cracking due to in-plane loads that could be tolerated from an OBE and SSE event. For an OBE event, the loading stage at which initial visible cracks occurred was used. For an SSE event, additional cracking was permitted. however, the loading stage was prior to any significant diagonal cracking. Obviously the evaluation for an SSE event required judgment and photographs shown In Figures 3-2. 3-3. and 3-4 show the typical state of cracking used for both an OBE and SSE event for piers with height-to-width ratios of 0.5. 1. and 2. respectively. At each appropriate level of cracking the corresponding shear stress and displacement were determined. The shear stresses obtained were statistically evaluated and these results are presented in the following subsection.

3.2.2 Statistical Analysis of the Data
A total of 33 tests were used to evaluate the shear stress for both OBE and SSE events. These were divided as follows:

This constant Is the subject of the statistical analysis that follows herein.
From this data. the following parameters were calculated for the shear stress for all cases. both for OBE, and SSE:
1. Sample Mean 00
II. Standard Deviation (s)
These statistics were then used as the parameters for the distribution of the population.
The statistical distribution assumed generally applicable for the data Is the Gamma distribution. The main reason for this is that the data never takes on negative values. The Gamma distribution is defined by:
k-i -Xx f(x) = X(Xx)k-1C. x (k-1) !
X>O

0
and has a mean value of k/. and a coefficient of variation I/AC it is to be noted though that for k > 15. the Gamma and the Normal distributions are extremely close and that the Normal distribution is assumed for those cases.
The 95% confidence interval for the mean of the population Mt was calculated, assuming that the normalized variable
S / /n
Is t-distributed. and that the actual population standard deviation. K is unknown. Here n is the sample size.
For the Gamma distribution, confidence intervals on parameters such as m -k 0" have no meaning and must be reinterpreted. On the normal curve m -10" corresponds to a point on the cumulative distrjbution curve with an ordinate of 0.1587. This means that approximately 16% of the area under the probability density curve lies to the left of m -1a' . Similarly, m -2Tand m -30' correspond to points with ordinates 0.02275 and 0.00135, respectively. Based on the confidence interval for the mean, confidence intervals were calculated for values of the Gamma distribution for which the cumulative distribution function had values of 0.1587. 0.02275 and 0.00135. respectively.
The results from this analysis are presented in Tables 3-2 and 3-3.
The results were then compared with the criteria specified factors on the ATh' for the allowable shear stress as given in Table 3-1.
TABLE 3-1
8
Probabilities that the criteria specified allowable stress would exceed
the stress based on the test results were calculated under two
assumptions: firstly, that the population mean was equal to the sample
mean. and secondly. that It was at the lower end of the 95% confidence
Interval.
Finally, safety factors based on the 95% confidence Interval for the
mean were calculated for the shear stresses.
These results are presented In Table 3-4.

3.2.3 Discussion of Results
The tests performed at U.C. Berkeley were performed under different conditions and on smaller units than generally exist at the Monticello plant. However, because most of the Monticello walls have a boundary support both at top and bottom, they are considered comparable to the test walls which had only such top and bottom boundaries. Furthermore. It is our belief that the Berkeley test walls were of a sufficient size to be applicable to a general wall of similar height to width ratios.
In the following discussion, note that due to the top and bottom fixity of the test specimens. the M/Vd ratio equals half the height-to-width ratio.
Looking at the values of Table 3-4. we see that in general the results for M/Vd = 0.5 have a much higher probability of exceedence than do the other values. Unfortunately. some of the walls tested in that series were subject to unforeseen problems with the test setup and which had some adverse effects on the results. A relatively low confidence is thus placed on those tests. Four tests whose results have not yet been published have since been performed on walls with M/Vd = 0.5. but only for the case where the reinforcement takes the shear. The 'results of a statistical analysis of those tests are presented in Tables 3-2. 3-3 and 3-4 in parentheses. The results on which we place a lower confidence will be ignored in the subsequent discussion. In general. the probabilities of exceedence are low. It can be stated that criteria allowable shear stress will exceed the actual - value determined from tests 108 times in 1.000.000 (0.01%) for OBE events and 1926 times in 1.000,000 (0.19%) for SSE events if the population mean strength is taken at the center of the 95% confidence interval. If one considers the extreme case where the population mean is taken to be at the lowest end of the 95% confidence interval, then these figures become 18 in 1,000 (1.8%) for OBE events and 27 in 1,000 (2.7%) for SSE events. Given the extreme nature of the assumption on which these second estimates are based, these probabilities of exceedance are deemed satisfactory.
By taking the 95% confidence intervals on the population mean, the factor of safety associated with the criteria allowable shear stresses for the case of the masonry taking the shear is 2.02 ( SF < 3.12 and 1.50 < SF < 1.96 for OBE and SSE events. respectively. For the case of reinforcement taking the shear, these values are 1.91 < SF < 3.27 and 1.28 < SF < 1.96 for OBE and SSE events, respectively.
3.3 CONCLUSIONS
In view of the above discussion of results, It is concluded that the criteria specified increase factor for shear stresses of 1.67 - 1.7 for factored loads is reasonable for the reevaluation of the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant.

4 BOND
The specified increase of 1.33 for reinforcement bond for factored loads is in accordance with the 1979 UBC. Section 2303(d). This section is partly in reference to Table 24-H and items 9 and 10 of that table specify the same allowable values for reinforcement bond at a working stress level as does the 'Criteria for the Reevaluation of Concrete Masonry Walls - Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant.' Furthermore. the UBC permits an Increase of 1.33 In this allowable stress for seismic loads. Thus the specified Increase of 1.33 for factored loads Is in accordance with the 1979 UBC.
19
5 TENSION NORMAL TO BED JOINT
The following is a justification for using a stress increase factor of 1.67 for tension normal to the bed joint for factored loads.
5.1 Overview of Test Programs
The results of six different test programs regarding the tensile strength of mortar normal to the bed joint are evaluated in this report. All the test programs reported in references 1 through 6 Involved static. monotonic load tests.
The test programs provided results for 81 unreinforced test specimens. Involving four different mortar types. namely. M. S. N and 0 as specified by proportion in ASTM C270. Also varying between the six test programs was the way in which the wals were loaded. Some tests were performed using a uniform pressure (air bag) loading, some used concentrated center point loading. and others were performed with concentrated loads at the quarter points of the wall. The uniform load produces a parabolic moment distribution over the height of the wall, the central loading condition produces a symmetric triangular distribution with a maximum at midspan. and the quarter point loading produces a region of constant moment over half the height of the wall. In one series of experiments (3) the walls were tested after only 15 days of curing.
5.1.1 Applicability of Test Results
The results of the 81 tests performed in the six static test programs. In our opinion, are applicable in determining the tensile strength normal to the bed joints. for seismic loads, for the following reasons:
1. An unreinforced masonry wall responds elastically to seismic loads provided it is not cracked. This was demonstrated in some of the shaking table tests.
2. There are no test results available indicating that dynamic loading reduces the tensile strength normal to the bed joint. In fact. the only test data available for any type of cyclic loading on masonry structural elements indicates that the in-plane shear strength of masonry shear walls tested pseudostatically is 8-23% less than that of a 3 cps equivalent dynamic test (Reference 7).
20
3. Cyclic or shake table tests are essential to determine the post-cracked or Inelastic performance of structural elements. However, they are not essential to determine the ultimate or cracking strength of structural elements.
4. Points 1. 2 and 3 above indicate that the uniform or point load tests are reasonable methods -to determine the cracking or tensile strength of an unreinforced masonry wall subjected to out-of-plane loads.
21
5.2 Evaluation of the Test Results
The results from six different monotonic test programs (1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6) on the tensile strength of mortar normal to the bed joint form the basis of the statistical analysis presented In this section. In total, data from 81 tests were available, involving four different mortar types. namely. types M. S. N and 0. Only the results of tests with type M mortar. as specified by proportion in ASTM C270. are used herein as this was the mortar type specified for the 'Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. Tests reported in (2). (3). (4). and (5) contain no data for type M mortar, and thus have no further part in this study.
Table 5-1 shows a summary of the remaining tests on type M mortar.
TABLE 5-1

1. 3 Uniform Section Modulus Based on Mortar Bedded Area
6 4 Uniform Section Modulus Based on Mortar Bedded Area
Tensile strength 'normal to the bed joint is influenced by several variables. perhaps the single most Important of which is the mortar cube strength. The 7 samples with type M mortar cover a range of cube strengths from 3000 psi on the low end to 5100 psi on the high end. The effect of this variable is taken into consideration when evaluating the tensile strengths applicable at Monticello.
5.2.1 Description of Statistical Analyses
Statistical analyses were performed for the uniform load data. A plot of the tensile strength normal to the bed joint against the corresponding mortar cube strength was then made for all the data. This plot is shown in Figure 5-1. Two least squares fits to this data were then made. The first was of the form:
Y = k x n
22
C,
.....
and the second was of the form:
Y= kv
where
Y = tensile strength normal to bed joint X = mortar cube strength
The resulting curves are also plotted in Figure 5-1. The two curves differ considerably. which is not surprising considering the close grouping of the available data. especially the lack of low-strength data. In view of a study of all available data for type N mortar (Figure 5-2). the use of the tensile strength as a function of the square root of the cube strength is reasonable. In view of the ACI-531 code use of functions involving the square root of the mortar cube strength, the second curve will be used herein. Accepting this relationship between tensile bond strength and mortar cube strength, all data can then be normalized by dividing the test tensile strength by the square root of the corresponding mortar cube strength. The following parameters were then computed:
(I) Sample Mean. X
(i) Sample Standard Deviation. s
These statistics were then used as the parameters for the distribution of the population. Two underlying distributions were assumed. and the effect of the choice of distribution on the results was examined. The more reasonable distribution was then accepted. The two underlying distributions were the normal distribution and the gamma distribution. The 95% confidence Interval for the mean of the population m was calculated, assuming that the normalized variable:
X - m
s/ /n
is t-distrlbuted. and that the actual population standard deviation. (T, is unknown.. Here n is the sample size.
For the case of the underlying distribution being normal, confidence intervals on the parameters m-la', m-20 and m-3<f were estimated from the confidence interval on the mean and the sample standard deviation. For the case of the underlying distribution being gamma. a different approach was taken. m-10r corresponds to a value of the cumulative distribution function equal to 0.1587 for the normal distribution. This means that a little under J6% of the area under the probability density curve lies to the left of m-107. Similarly. m-2cr and m-30 correspond to values of 0.02275 and 0.00135 on the cumulative distribution
23
function, respectively. Based on the confidence interval for the mean. confidence intervals were calculated for values of the gamma distribution for which its cumulative distribution function had values of 0.1587. 0.02275 and 0.00135. respectively.
These actual distributions were then compared with the criteria specified allowable tensile stress normal to the bed joint. I.e.. 0.5 41M for the OBE condition. and 1.67 times that value for the SSE condition. Probabilities that the criteria specified allowable stress would exceed the actual joint strength based on the test results and scaled to a mortar cube strength of 2500 and 3600 psi were calculated under two assumptions: firstly. that the population mean was equal to the sample mean, and secondly. that It was at the lower end of the 95% confidence interval. These conditions are termed A and B. respectively. in Table 5-4.
Finally safety factors based on the 95% confidence Interval for the mean were calculated.
5.2.2 Results of Statistical Analyses
5.2.2.1 Sample Statistics
In Table 5-2 below, the test tensile strengths normal to the bed joint have been normalized by dividing each strength by the square root of the corresponding mortar cube strength.

5.2.2.2 Confidence Intervals on the Population Mean
The normalized variables analyzed in Section 6.2.2.1 are transformed to real tensile strengths normal to the bed joint by multiplying the normalized variable by the square root of the actual specified cube strength of interest. In the case of the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. the appropriate cube strength is in the range 2500 - 3600 psi.
The following confidence intervals result:
Mo = 3600 psi: 85.1 s m s 101.1 psi
Mo = 2500 psi: 71.0 j m S 84.3 psi
5.2.2.3 Discussion of Normal vs. Gamma Distribution
The normal distribution Is well known and requires no discussion other than the fact that it is a symmetric distribution with possible values In the range (-00. 00). We are concerned in this study with data that can only assume positive values (tensile strength). and this Is a possible problem with using the Normal distribution. because It can assume negative values. The Gamma distribution, on the other hand. cannot assume negative values and its shape may be adjusted by varying the parameters k and 1.
k-1 -Xx f(x) = XX~ x (k-1)1
The distribution has a mean value of k / A and a coefficient of variation of 1/ OV Thus the value of k. Is adjusted to give the coefficient of variation observed from' the sample. and then X is calculated to give the correct mean value. The following values of k and A arise:
k = 116
2 = 74.73
For large k 015), the Gamma distribution and the Normal distribution are extremely close. Thus the normal distribution is used for the data.
It should be noted that there is no physical reason why tensile strengths normal to the bed joint should have any particular distribution. However, the Gamma distribution can assume a wide variety of shapes by varying the parameters k and ) .

These Intervals are displayed graphically in Figure 5-3.
5.2.2.5 Safety Factors Based on the Mean
The reevaluation criteria specifies that the cube. strength for type M Mortar shall be limited to Me = 2500 ps,. This leads to *allowable' tensile stresses normal to the bed joint of 25 psi for the OBE condition and 41.5 psi for the SSE condition.
Using the above values for the OBE and SSE conditions, and the 95% confidence Interval for the mean strength from the tests. scaled to a cube strength of 3600 psi, the following limits arise for the safety factor based on the mean.

5.2.2.6 Probabilities of Exceedance

B 10 0.00003
Note:
1. A gives the probabilities of exceedance assuming the population mean equals the sample mean. B gives the probabilities of exceedance assuming the population mean is at the lower end of the 95% confidence interval.
5.2.3 DISCUSSION OF RESULTS
The key results for the confidence intervals are plotted in Figure 5-3. together with the OBE and SSE stresses from the reevaluation criteria.
The confidence intervals for the data are relatively narrow although the sample size was small. It Is seen that both the OBE and SSE stresses lie well below the 'mean minus three standard deviationso confidence interval for both cube strength projections. This is consistent with the very low probability that the reevaluation criteria stresses will exceed the actual tensile strength as presented In Section 5.2.2.6.
It can be stated that criteria specified allowable stresses will practically never exceed the actual tensile strength of the mortar normal to the bed joint for OBE events and at most 3 times in 10.000.000 for SSE events if the population mean strength is taken at the center of the 95% confidence interval. If one considers the extreme case where
27
0
the population mean is taken to be at the lower end of Its 95% confidence Interval, then these probabilities hardly change for an OBE event. but change to 30 times in 1,000.000 for an SSE event. These probabilities of exceedance are deemed very satisfactory.
Alternatively. Instead of calculating probabilities of exceedance, one may take the same data and calculate factors of safety based on the mean. If this is done for the OBE events. using the full range of the 95% confidence Interval for the population mean, and taking the extremes from both cube strength cases, the safety factor lies in the range of 2.84 < SF ( 4.04. Similarly, for SSE events, the range is 1.71 ( SF < 2.44.
5.3 CONCLUSIONS
The purpose of Item 11-d was to provide a detailed analysis of the available test data to justify the allowable tensile stresses normal to the bed joint used in the reevaluation criteria. The values specified in the revised criteria are 0.5.,W for an OBE event and 0.834 for an SSE event. Thus the allowable tensile stresses normal to the bed joint are limited to 25.0 psi for an OBE event and 41.5 psi for an SSE event. In view of the statistical analysis presented herein. this cut-off at 2500 psi for the mortar strength is reasonable.
The range of the factors of safety, based on the test data and scaled to a cube. strength of 2500 psi. Is 2.84 to 3.37 for an OBE event and 1.71 to 2.03 for an SSE event. These factors of safety .are based on the 9.5% confidence Intervals of the mean strength of the test data. It Is therefore concluded that the allowable tensile stresses normal to the bed joint of 25.0 psi and 41.5 psi for OBE and SSE events respectively are reasonable values to use In the reevaluation criteria for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant.

6 TENSION PARALLEL TO THE BED JOINT
The following Is a justification for using a stress increase factor of 1.67 for tension parallel to the bed joint for factored loads.
6.1 AVAILABLE TEST RESULTS
The results of two different test programs regarding the flexural strength of masonry in the horizontal span. parallel to the bed joint are evaluated in this report. Both test programs given In References 1 and - 2 Involved static monotonic load tests.
The test programs provided results for 36 test specimens involving three different types of mortar. namely. M. N and 0 as specified by proportion in ASTM C270. All 36 specimens were loaded using concentrated center line loading which produces a symmetric triangular moment distribution with a maximum at midspan.
6.1.1 APPLICABILITY OF TEST RESULTS
The results of 36 tests performed in the two static test programs. In our opinion, are applicable in determining the tensile strength normal to th§ bed joints, for seismic loads, for the same reasons given in Section 5.1.1.
6.2 EVALUATION OF MONOTONIC TEST RESULTS
The results from two different monotonic test programs (1.2) on the tensile strength of mortar parallel to the bed joint form the basis of the statistical analysis presented in this section. In total, data from 36 tests were available. involving three different mortar types. namely types M. N and 0. Only the results of tests with type M mortar, as specified by proportion in ASTM C270. are used herein as this was the mortar type specified for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant.
The specifications for the test series reported In Reference 2 called for a* type M mortar for all 12 specimens. Due to a failure of a mason to follow the speciflatlons. the mortar used was much richer and thus cannot be defined as a type M mortar. Therefore the tests reported in (2) have no further part in this study.
The test series reported In (1) has results from 24 tests, six involving type M mortar and 12 and six involving type N and type 0 mortar, respectively. The six tests Involving the type M mortar are, although few in numbers. analyzed statistically herein.
Tensile strength parallel to the bed joint is influenced by several variables Including the mortar shear strength. mortar cube strength and block modulus of rupture. The code writing committees. specifically ACI (ACI-531), choose
33
to relate the design allowable stresses to the mortar cube strength. The statistical analysis In this report is directed towards the same.
The mortar strength reported for the specimens was just the average of results obtained in tests of three 2-in. cubes at an age of 28 days. Thus. there is only one mortar cube strength value to work with. This limits the generality of the analysis somewhat, but because the reported cube strength (2743 psi) is close to the minimum code specified value (2500 psi) for type M mortar, the analysis is considered justifiable.
6.2.1 Description of Statistical Analyses
For the purpose of this analysis due to limited data. the ACI-531 assumed relationship. Le.. y=constant f A!"' is accepted. The data was then normalized by dividing the test tensile strength by the square root of the mortar cube strength. The following parameters were then computed:
(1) Sample Mean. X
(1l) Sample Standard Deviation. s
These statistics were then used as the parameters for the distribution of the population. At first two underlying distributions were assumed., and the effect of the choice of distribution on the results was examined. The more reasonable distribution was then accepted. The two underlying distributions were the normal distribution and the gamma distribution. The 95% confidence interval for the mean of the population m was calculated, assuming that the normalized variable:
X - m
is t-distributed. and that the actual population standard deviation. a , is unknown. Here n is the sample size.
For the case of the underlying distribution being normal, confidence intervals on the parameters m-li', m-2o' and m-3cr were estimated from the confidence Interval on the mean and the sample standard deviation. For the case of the underlying distribution being gamma. a different approach was taken. m-le' corresponds to a value of the cumulative distribution function equal to 0.1587 for the normal distribution. This means that a little under 16% of the area under the probability density curve lies to the left of n-l'. Similarly, m-2o' and m-3a correspond to values of 0.02275 and 0.00135 on the cumulative distribution function, respectively. Based on the confidence Interval for the mean. confidence Intervals were calculated for values of the gamma distribution for which its cumulative distributlop function had values of 0.1587, 0.02275 and 0.00135. respectively.
34
This actual distribution is then compared with the criteria specified allowable tensile stress parallel to the bedjoint. i.e. 1.0/i? for the OBE condition and 1.67 times that value for the SSE condition. Probabilities that the criteria specified allowable stress would exceed the actual joint strength based on the test results and scaled to a mortar cube strength of 2500 and 3600 psi were calculated under two assumptions: firstly, that the population mean was equal to the sample mean, and secondly. that it was at the lower end of the 95% confidence interval. These conditions are termed A and 8. respectively. in Table 6-3.
Finally safety factors based on the 95% confidence interval for the mean were calculated.

The normal distribution is well known and requires no discussion other than the fact that it Is a symmetric distribution with possible values in the range (-00. 00). We are concerned in this study with data that can only assume positive values (tensile strength), and this Is a possible problem with using the Normal distribution. because it can assume negative values. The Gamma distribution, on the other hand, cannot assume negative values and its shape may be adjusted by varying the parameters k and A.
k-i -XX f )(Xx) . x (k-1)
The distribution has a mean value of k / k and a coefficient of variation of 1/ X' Thus the value of k is adjusted. to give the coefficient of variation observed from the sample. and then 2 is calculated to give the correct mean value. The following values of k and > arise:
k = 178
)L = 42.582
For large k 015), the Gamma distribution and the Normal distribution are extremely close. Thus the Normal distribution Is used for the data.
It should be noted that there is no physical reason why tensile strengths normal to the bed joint should have any particular distribution. However, the Gamma distribution can assume a wide variety of shapes by varying the parameters k and X .

6.2.2.5 Safety Factors Based on the Mean
The reevaluation criteria specifies that the cube strength for type M mortar shall be limited to Me = 2500 pst: This leads to 'allowable" tensile stresses parallel to the bed joint ( VW ) of 50 psi for the OBE condition and 83.5 psi for the SSE condition.
Using the above values for the OBE and SSE conditions, and the 95% confidence interval for the mean strength from the tests, scaled to a cube strength of 2500 and 3600 psi, the following limits arise for the safety factor based on the mean.

6.2.3 DISCUSSION OF RESULTS
The key results for the confidence intervals are plotted in Figure 6-1. together with the OBE and SSE stresses from the reevaluation criteria. The confidence intervals for the data are relatively narrow although the sample size was small. It is seen that both the OBE and SSE stresses lie well outside the "mean minus three standard deviations" confidence Interval for both cube strength projections. This Is consistent with the values for probabilities that the reevaluation criteria stresses will exceed the actual tensile strength as presented in Section 6.2.2.6.
It can be stated that criteria specified allowable stresses will. In all practicality, neither exceed the actual tensile strength of the mortar parallel to the bed joint for an OBE event nor an SSE event.
Alternatively. Instead of calculating probabilities of exceedance. one may take the same data and calculate factors of safety based on the mean. If this is done for the OBE events, using the full range of the 95% confidence interval for the population mean. and taking the extremes from both cube strength cases, the safety factor lies In the range of 3.85 < SF < 5.40. Similarly. for SSE events, the range is 2.31 < SF < 3.23.
6.3 CONCLUSIONS
The purpose of Item 11-e was to provide a detailed analysis of the available test data to justify the allowable tensile stresses parallel to the bed joint used in the reevaluation criteria. The values specified In the revised criteria are 1.0073' for an OBE even and 1.67073' for an SSE event. Thus the allowable tensile stresses parallel to the bed joint are limited to 50.0 psi for an OBE event and 83.5 psi for an SSE event. In view of the statistical analysis presented herein, this cutoff at 2500 psi for the mortar strength is conservative.
The range of the factors of safety. based on the test data and scaled to a cube strength of 2500 psi. Is 3.85 to 4.50 for an OBE event and 2.31 to 2.70 for an SSE event. These factors of safety are based on the 95% confidence intervals of the mean strength of the test data.
It Is therefore concluded that the allowable tensile stresses parallel to the bed joint of 50.0 psi and 83.5 psi for OBE and SSE events, respectively, are reasonable values to use in the reevaluation criteria for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant.

12.0 NRC COMMENT
'With reference to Table 2 in reference 3, justify the formula used for allowable stress in Grout Core Tension.
Response
Because the item in question, the grout core tension allowable, was never used in the reevaluation of Masonry Walls in the Monitcello Nuclear Generating Plant, it has now been removed from the reevaluation criteria. With this response a revised criteria as of April 1982 is attached.

CRITERIA FOR THE RE-EVALUATION
OF CONCRETE MASONRY WALLS
FOR THE
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
1.0 GENERAL
1.1 Purpose
This specification is provided to establish design requirements and criteria for use in re-evaluating the structural adequacy of concrete block walls as required by NRC IE Bulletin 80-11, Masonry Wall Design, dated May 8, 1980.
1.2 Scope
The re-evaluation shall determine whether the concrete masonry walls will perform their intended function under loads and load combinations specified herein. Concrete masonry walls not supporting safety systems but whose collapse could result in the loss of required function of safety related equipment or systems shall be evaluated to demonstrate that an SSE, accident or tornado load will not cause failure to the extent that functions of safety related items is impaired. Verification of wall adequacy shall take into account support condition, global response of wall, and local transfer of load. Evaluation of anchor bolts and embedments are not considered to be within the scope of IE Bulletin
80-11.
2.0 GOVERNING CODES
For the purposes of re-evaluation, the American Concrete Institute "Building Code Requirements for Concrete Masonry Structures" (ACI 531-79) will be used except as noted herein.

R-2/1 -3-
respectively. The allowable stresses for the factored loads given in Section 3.2 shall be the U values given in Tables 1 and 2 for reinforced and unreinforced masonry respectively.
5.2 Damping
The damping values to be used shall be as follows:
Unreinforced walls
2% - OBE 4% - SSE
Reinforced walls
4% - OBE 7% - SSE.
6.0 ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
6.1 Structural Response of Unreinforced Masonry Walls
6.1.1 Out of Plane Effects
1. The wall shall be modeled as a finite element plate with appropriate boundary conditions. For a multimode analysis the modal responses shall be combined using the square root of the sum of the squares.
2. If the calculated stresses exceed the allowables in Step 1, the wall will be evaluated using the alternative acce'tance criteria.
6.1.2 Frequency Variations in Out of Plane
Uncertainties in structural frequencies of the masonry wall resulting from variations in mass,, modulus of elasticity, material and section properties shall be taken into account by varying the modulus of elasticity as follows:
Ungrouted walls - 1000f' to 600f' m m
Grouted or Solid Walls - 1200f' to 8OOf' m m
R-2/1
-- 1:1 1. - I I V
-4-
If the wall frequency using the lower value of E is on the higher frequency side of the peak of the response spectrum, it is considered conservative to use the lower value of E. If the wall frequency is on the lower frequency side of the peak of the response spectrum, the peak acceleration shall be used. If the frequency of the wall using the higher value of E is also on the lower frequency side of the peak, the higher value of E may be used with its appropriate spectral value provided due consideration is given to frequency variations resulting from all possible boundary conditions.
6.1.3 Combined In Plane and Out of Plane Effects
Provided both the allowable stress criteria for out of plane effects and the in plane stress or strain criteria are satisfied, the walls shall be considered to satisfy the re-evaluation criteria. If either criterion is exceeded, walls will be evaluated using the alternate acceptance criteria.
6.1.4 Stress Calculations
All stress calculations shall be performed by conventional methods prescribed by the Working Stress Design method.
6.2 Structural Response of Reinforced Masonry Walls
6.2.1 Out of Plane Effects
The following sequence of analysis methods will be applied.
1. Walls shall be modeled as a finite element plate with appropriate boundary conditions assuming the wall is uncracked. If the allowable stresses for an unreinforced wall given in Table 2 are exceeded, the plate will be assumed to crack and the moment'of inertia for a cracked section given in Sec. 6.2.2 shall be used over a cracked area. For a multimode analysis, the modal responses shall be combined using the square root of the sum of squares. If the calculated stresses exceed the allowables of Table 2, the wall will be evaluated using the alternative acceptance criteria.
R-2 '1/
.6.2.2 Equivalent Moment of Inertia
6.2.2.1 Uncracked Condition
The equivalent moment of inertia of an uncracked wall (It) shall be obtained from a transformed section consisting of the block, mortar, cell grout or core concrete. (Note that a centrally reinforced wall has the same moment of inertia as an unreinforced section.) Alternatively if the mortar joint is assumed to crack or actually cracks the equivalent moment of inertia may be calculated by neglecting the mortar and block on the tension side.
6.2.2.2 Cracked Condition
If the stresses due to all load combinations exceed the allowables the wall shall be considered to be cracked. In this event the moment of inertia of a cracked section shall be used for the area of the wall that is shown to have cracked. Other wall areas shall be considered uncracked.
R-2/1 -.6-
6.2.3 Frequency Variations
Uncertainties in structural frequencies of the masonry wall resulting from variations in mass, modulus of elasticity, material and section properties shall be taken into account by varying the modulus of elasticity from 1200f' to 800f' . It is considered conservative to use tie lower value of E if the wall frequency is on the higher frequency side of the peak response spectrum. If the wall.frequency using the lower values of E is on the lower frequency side of peak of the response spectrum the peak acceleration shall be used. If the frequency of the wall using the higher value of E is also on the lower frequency side of the peak, the higher value of E may be used with its appropriate spectral value provided due consideration is given to frequency variations resulting from all possible boundary conditions.
6.2.4 In Plane and Out of Plane Effects
Provided both the allowable stress criteria for out of plane effects and the in plane stress or strain criteria are satisfied, the walls shall be considered to satisfy the re-evaluation criteria. If either criterion is exceeded, the walls shall be considered to satisfy the re-evaluation criteria. If either criterion is exceeded, the walls will be evaluated by the alternative acceptance criteria.
6.2.5 Stress Calculations
All stress calculations shall be performed by conventional methods prescribed by the Working Stress Design method.
-7-,R-2/1
' 6.3 Accelerations
For a.vall spanning between two floors, the envelope of the spectra for the floor above and below shall be used to determine the stresses in the walls.
6.4 Interstory Drift Effects
The magnitude of interstory drift effects shall be determined from the original dynamic analysis.
6.5 In Plane Effects
If a masonry wall is a load bearing structural element shear stresses shall be evaluated and compared with the allowable stresses of Tables 1 and 2.
If the wall is an infill panel or non-load bearing element, shear stresses resulting from interstory drift effects will not be calculated. In this case, the imposed interstory deflections of Sec. 6.4 shall be compared to the displacements calculated from the following permissible strains for .service loads. For factored loads, the strains shall be multiplied by 1.67. The deflections shall be calculated by multiplying the permissible strain by the wall height.
Unconfined Walls (1) - 0.0001
Confined Walls (2) - 0.0008
Notes: (1) An unconfined wall is attached on one vertical boundary and its base.
(2) A confined wall is attached in one of the following ways:
(a) On all four sides. (b) On the top and bottom of the
wall. (c) On the top, bottom and one
vertical side of the wall. (d) On the bottom and two vertical
sides of the wall.
If an infill panel or non-load bearing element is subjected to both interstoty drift effects and shear stresses due to inplane loads from equipment or piping, the following criteria shall apply.
R-2/ -8-
actual inplane actual intershear stress + story deflection <1l allowaole inplane allowable intershear stress story deflection
A more refined analysis may be performed if necessary.
6.6 Equipment
If the total weight of attached equipment is less than 100 Ibs., the effect of the equipment on the wall shall be neglected. If the total weight of the equipment is greater than 100 lbs., the mass of the equipment shall be added to that of the wall in calculating the frequency of the wall.
Stresses resulting from each piece of equipment weighing more than 100 lbs. shall be combined with the wall inertia loads using'the absolute sum method. The SRSS method may be used provided its application is justified.
Stresses resulting fromn the equipment shall be calculated by applying a static load consisting of the weight
. of equipment multiplied by the peak acceleration of the
response spectrum for the floor level above the wall. If the frequency of the equipment is known, it may be used to determine the'static load.
6.7 Distribution of Concentrated Out of Plane Loads
6.7.1 Plate Action
For plate action, local moments and stresses under a concentrated load shall be determined using appropriate analytical procedures for
plates or determined numerically using a finite element analysis.
6.7.2 Localized Block Pullout
For a concentrated load, block pullout shall be checked using the allowable values for unreinforced shear walls in Table 2. This allowable shall be used for both reinforced and reinforced walls.
7.0 ALTERNATIVE ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
7.1 Reinforced Masonry
Where bending due to out-of-plane inertial loading causes flexural stresses in the wall to exceed the
allowable stresses .for reinforced walls, the wall
can be evaluated by the "energy balance technique."
R-2/1 -9-
.1 41
7.1.1 Effects on Equipment
If the deflection calculated by the energy balance technique exceeds three times the yield deflection, the resulting deflection shall be multiplied by a factor of 2 and a determination made as to whether such factored displacements would adversely impact the function of safety-related systems attached and/or adjacent to the.wall.
7.1.2 Effects on Walls
The maximum deflection in the wall due to outof plane inertia loading shall be limited to 5 times the yield displacement. The yield displacement shall be calculated by reinforced concrete ultimate strength theory, and the masonry compression stresses of 0.85f' based on a rectangular stress distribution sWall be used.
7.2 Unreinforced Masonry
When, due to out-of-plane loading, the allowable stresses for unreinforced masonry are exceeded, the arching theory for masonry walls may be used to measure the capacity of the walls. Due regard must be paid to the.b6undary conditions.
7.2.1 Limited Deflection
The deflection of the three hinged arch could be determined by assuming that the arch members are analogous to regular compression members, in a truss. The method of virtual work (unit load method) may be used to compute the deflection at the arch interior hinge. The calculated deflection should not be more than 0.3T where the "T" is the thickness of the wall. A determination should be made as to whether such calculated displacments would adversely impact the function of safety-related systems attached and/or adjacent to the wall.
7.2.2 Allowable Stresses
The total resistance of the wall (f) shall be calculated using the following stresses:
I. Tensile stress through the assumed tension crack shall be 6 /?'E for grouted walls or ft for'ungrouted walls.
R-2/1 -10-
II. The crushing stress of block material = 0.85f'
By applying a factor of safety of 1.5 to the total resistance (f) as calculated above, the allowable load on the wall is limited to f /1.5.
7.2.3 Boundary Supports
The boundary supports should be checked if they are capable of transmitting the reaction forces applied to them. The effect of support stiffness on the reaction forces should be considered.

13.0 NRC COMMENT
Provide details of proposed wall modifications with drawings and explain how these modifications will rectify wall deficiencies.
RESPONSE:
As a result of the block wall analyses performed for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant, four drawings were prepared. These drawings show the modifications for the block walls. (Reference Bechtel Job No. 10040 Drawing C-2018, C-2019, C-2021, and C-2022).
The following is an explanation of how these modifications will rectify wall deficiencies.
Wall 212 was originally analyzed as a plate with the top free and one side free. This resulted in unacceptable stress levels. The wall was reanalyzed with the previous free side pinned at the top and equivalent springs placed along the free side. The stress levels were found to be acceptable.
A truss was designed to carry the resulting loads with the required stiffenesses used in the wall analysis.
Wall 222 was originally analyzed as a plate with the top free and one side free. This resulted in unacceptable stress levels. The wall was reanalyzed with the top pinned. The stress levels were found to be acceptable.
Braces were designed to carry the loads and were placed along the top of the wall. Stiffenesses and connection are adequate to simulate the assumed pinned conditions.
Wall T311 identified during the field survey for the NRC Bulletin 80-11 is subject to jet impingement from pipe line C4A-16-GB as identified on Bechtel Job #5828, Drawing No. M-223.
To prevent the collapse from the jet forces a shield has been provided to back up the wall at the postulated pipe break. The shield is designed to carry the full load from the jet force.
Wall T322 identified during the field survey for the NRC Bulletin 80-11 is subject to jet impingement from pipe lines C4A-16-6B and C4B-16-6B as identified on Bechtel Job #5828 drawing No. M-223.
To prevent the collapse of the wall, from the jet force, shields were provided. These deflect the jet forces from the postulated pipe rupture. They are designed to carry the full load from the jet force.
The remaining details have been addressed in an inspection summary report No. 50-263/81-13, Docket No. 50-263 by the NRC inspector R. B. Landsman on April 22 and July 14, 1981.
