Abstract
The quantity and disposition of main bonded reinforcement in the Hunterston— ‘B’ P C P V is taken as a typical case study. In this chapter covering only main and local bonded reinforcement are covered. An attempt has been made to discover the need and function of main bonded steel in the prestressed concrete cylindrical pressure vessel. The same is adhered to the containment vessel. At present there is no established method available to determine the amount of such steel needed in the vessel and to adjudge its performance during working and overload conditions of the vessel.
