Geotechnical hazards

The potential for slope instability (such as landslides, rock sUdes and snow avalanches) that could affect the safety of the research reactor shall be evaluated for the site and its vicinity. [Pg.34]

The potential shall be evaluated for collapse, subsidence or uplift of the site surface. [Pg.34]

The geotechnical characteristics of the subsurface materials and their uncertainties shall be investigated and a soil profile for the site shall be produced in a form suitable for design purposes. [Pg.35]

Other important natural phenomena and extreme conditions [Pg.35]

Geological and geotechnical hazard Loss of off-site power and other utilities Loss of access roads Structural stability and integrity Reactor could be critical or in shutdown state High Sudden action without warning... [Pg.45]

The old Basic Building Standard considered studying the bearing capacity but it did not consider the mass movements themselves. However the new Technical Building Code (2006) considered the bearing capacity and mitigating geotechnical hazards, and to a lesser extent, mass movements. [Pg.222]

Undertake countermeasures against geotechnical hazards such as liquefaction (later spreading, settlement) and land-slides/rockfaUs or other induced phenomena such as the tsunami waves (e.g., protecting walls). [Pg.855]

Due to their spatial extent, lifeline systems are exposed to variable seismic ground motions, often presenting important incoherency (shaking effects), and to geotechnical hazards expressed in terms of permanent groimd deformatirMis, resulted from fault crossing, landslides, and... [Pg.3134]

In the following, geological and geotechnical hazards, earthquakes, flooding and extreme meteorological phenomena will be addressed, as well as man-induced events such as explosions, other industrial hazards and airplane crashes. [Pg.17]

Site characterization is the initial phase of the site specific ground response analysis involves acquiring, processing and interpretation of quaUtative and quantitative information of the site such as geological, geotechnical, seismic and seismotectonic details to evaluate the hazard based on level of site response. The scope of site characterization varies from simple to complex depending upon several major factors including... [Pg.20]

Deterministic Seismic Hazard Analysis (DSHA) analysis is simple and more prevalent methods of hazard analysis in geotechnical earthquake engineering. DSHA involves the development of a particular seismic scenario upon which a ground motion hazard evaluation is based. The scenario consists of the postulated occurrence of an earthquake of a specified size occurring at a specified location. DSHA is more logical, more transparent, and more appropriate for requirements in engineering design. DSHA... [Pg.26]

The seismic hazard at the location has been defined for return periods of 100,475 and 1,000 years with PGA values of 0.07g, 0.16g and 0.22g, respectively. The local soil was categorised as type B, based on the data available from geological and geotechnical investigations. A set of six horizontal histories of acceleration, meeting the ECS criteria, has been generated for the location. In accordance with the JUS standards, the numerical values of the seismicity factor Kc have been computed for the three return periods at the free surface of the terrain as 0.028,... [Pg.145]

In a region where either three-dimensional movement along the land surface or critical deformation at depth has already become or may yet become a hazard, the programmer can reasonably assert the standard geotechnical assumption that... [Pg.32]
