This book has been prepared as a guide to the structural and leak-tight integrity design and analyses of structures, distribution systems and components (SSC), which are addressed by construction standards prepared by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, ASME and other closely related Standards. Particular application is to SSC, which are subject to extreme load phenomena, whether of a design basis external natural, man-induced or accident phenomena. The book is intended for use in assisting structural-mechanical engineers in their supply of engineering services to the nuclear, petrochemical and biomedical industries.
