Preface
This Guide is intended to facilitate the design of steel-plate posite (SC) walls for safety-related nuclear facilities and is todemands including both individual and bined force demands. The detailing analysis and design of SC walls and connec- be used in conjunction with ANSI/AISC N690. The Guide discusses the behavior and design of SC walls subjected to varioustions are based on the provisions in Appendix N9 of ANSI/AISC N690. The design of SC walls and connections is illustrated in a design example in Appendix A.
