Asumption and Recommendation by Shandong Electric Engineering:

Seismic effect
1 Foundation soil type and site classification According to the wave velocity test results，
the equivalent shear wave velocity value of the top 20m in height range from 79.15
to 97.18m/s. As per the table d 4.1.6 in code for seismic design of buildings
(GB50011-2010), the site is classified to grade Ⅲ. According to the wave velocity test
results in “FINAL REPORT PROBABILISTIC SEISMIC HAZARD (PSHA) AND SITE
AND SITE-SPECIFIC RESPONSE ANALYSIS TO DERIVE SEISMIC CRITERIA FOR
PLTU-CILEGON”, the equivalent shear wave velocity value of the top 30m in height
is 102.16~123.03m/s，the equivalent SPT value is 1.50-2.18. As per SNI-1726-2012
，site is classified to grade SE, which means soft soil profile.
2 Seismic parameters According to “FINAL REPORT PROBABILISTIC SEISMIC
HAZARD (PSHA) AND SITE-SPECIFIC RESPONSE ANALYSIS TO DERIVE SEISMIC
CRITERIA FOR PLTU-CILEGON”(Referring to Table 6-9 and Fig.6-5)，the peak surface
acceleration at site with 10% probability of exceedance in 50 years is 0.33g and the
second group in the design earthquake groups is suggested to be utilized.The Spectral
Response Acceleration at period 0.2-sec is 0.761g and 1-sec period is 0.32g while
the long- period transition period TL=25s.
3 Liquefaction If the earthquake intensity reached 8 degree, liquefaction may happen in
the stratums which are ②-3medium-coarse sand. The liquefaction grade may be sligh
to medium and the liquefaction depth may be 20.00m.
4 Classification of Seismic Fortification According to table 4.1.1ofCode for seismic design
of buildings (GB50011-2001), the proposed site is an unfavorable section can be built on.
