Descriptions of D'Appolonia projects involving power plant siting and development of seismic design criteria are provided in the following:

EXAMPLE PROJECTS

Siting and Geotechnical Studies for Angra Nuclear Power Plant (PDF-624K)
D’Appolonia analyzed the stability of a failed slope adjacent to a nuclear reactor. The analysis condidered the potential seismic loading. A design was developed to stabilize the slope under seismic conditions.
Seismic Stability Analysis of Underwater Slope in Dredged Channel (PDF-503K)
D’Appolonia analyzed an underwater slope near a naval facility in Charleston, SC. Seismic loadings were developed based upon historical seismicity. The slope to be potentially susceptible to displacement as the result of an earthquake, and the predicted displacement distance was accomodated in the design.
Site Development Engineering for Power Plant Construction (PDF-1371K)
D’Appolonia performed a geotechnical site exploration program at a proposed power plant site in rural Pennsylvania. Based upon the data obtained, a site grading plan and foundation recommendations were developed.
