Abstract EN
For the new nuclear power plants, the hazard of liquefaction due to earthquakes should be excluded by appropriate site selection or eliminated by engineering measures.
An important question is how to define a quantitative criterion for negligibility of the liquefaction hazard.
In the case of operating plants, liquefaction can be revealed as a beyond-design-basis event.
It is important to learn whether the liquefaction hazard has a safety relevance and whether there is a sufficient margin to the onset of liquefaction.
The use of pseudoprobabilistic method would be practicable for the definition of probability of liquefaction, but it could result in overconservative results.
In this paper, the applicability of the pseudoprobabilistic procedure is demonstrated for the sites in diffuse seismicity environment and for low hazard levels that are typical for nuclear safety considerations.
Use of the procedure is demonstrated in a case study with realistic site-plant parameters.
