Subject: Structural Analysis Data Requirements
Background:
ASC/ENFS frequently receives requests to review structural analysis reports, and many
times these reports have been submitted with limited or incomplete information. Some
technical reports inadequately describe the structure, show assumptions without
justification, and provide results without showing how they were obtained. Inability to
portray a complete technical picture of the structural analysis makes a review difficult to
accomplish and increases the time required to provide a response to the program office.
To improve the effectiveness of the ASC/ENFS review process, this bulletin is provided
to define representative data required when submitting a structural analysis for review.
Submittal of technical information described in this bulletin will allow ASC/ENFS to
conduct a thorough review and document any findings or recommendations in a
technical evaluation. These same data requirements are recommended for use by all
programs for all structural analysis reports.
Discussion:
In general, structural analysis reports need to include all relevant data (drawings,
materials, loads, etc.), list all assumptions, show relevant computations, etc., in order to
fully justify the analysis. These reports must be completed for every Model Design
Series (MDS). An analysis that stands on its own and portrays the full extent of the work
accomplished is the ideal for a complete review.
The data provided below outlines the basic representative requirements of a structural
analysis report. Note that not all items will be required for every analysis report.
However, all analyses need to be able to stand alone and should include basic report
sections (introduction, background/purpose, work completed, results, and conclusions).
