CEGB approach to seismic hazard assessment (oral presentation only)
Creators
Description
The presentation describes the work carried out by CEGB in the development of seismic design specifications. Work was begun in 1973 using existing seismic data bases. This presentation is concerned with the more recent development of CEGB criteria. Steps were undertaken to (1) study seismic ground motion characteristics for typical United Kingdom site conditions and (2) reduce uncertainties in the assessment of the safe shutdown earthquake (SSE) peak ground acceleration level to which design criteria would be anchored. They have not led to specification of formal operating basis earthquake (OBE), but an operational shutdown (OSE) level has been established
