ITER Building Design (D230-B), Task No. 28. Final report

The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) Project requires a set of buildings, each with its own distinct function, to support ITER's mission. The Joint Central Team (JCT) has identified all the buildings in the set and has placed them in an efficient arrangement on the site. The JCT has developed a conceptual layout of each individual building. The buildings have been categorized into two main groups: (1) (open quotes)Level 1 Buildings(close quotes) which are on the construction schedule critical path and (2) (open quotes)Level 2 Buildings(close quotes) which, while important, are not on the critical path. The buildings are further categorized according to construction material, that is, (open quotes)reinforced concrete(close quotes) or (open quotes)steel-frame on concrete slab(close quotes). This Report responds to the Project's request to perform the initial structural steel design for all the (open quotes)steel-frame on concrete slab(close quotes) buildings. Of the twelve (12) (open quotes)steel-frame on concrete slab(close quotes) buildings, four (4) are Level 1 and eight (8) are Level 2 Buildings. This Report is a deliverable for the ITER Task Assignment entitled (open quotes)ITER Buildings Design (D230-B)(close quotes), also designated as Task No. 28. ITER U.S. Home Team Industrial Consortium members, Raytheon Engineers & Constructors (RE&C) and Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation (SWEC), teamed to perform Task 28. This task commenced in May 1995. It was performed in accordance with the design criteria specified by the ITER-JCT, San Diego Joint Work Site.
