Earthquake Risk Assessment Sample Clauses

Earthquake Risk Assessment. CH2M will provide an assessment of earthquake vulnerability of the Seawall and structural risk that reduces existing uncertainty, results in the right level of design conservatism, and ensures hazards are not inadvertently underestimated. Assessment will be consistent with state of the art practices. This assessment will serve as the basis for modeling earthquake hazards in CH2M’s MHRA. 1.04.01.01 Gather and review existing earthquake vulnerability assessments. CH2M will gather and review available earthquake vulnerability assessment reports performed for the Port, and relevant published research, information, and data to assess whether the work performed to-date is adequate for the characterization of the Seawall vulnerability or whether updates are warranted after considering comment from the Port. 1.04.01.02 Determine data gaps and recommend further vulnerability assessment. CH2M will summarize data gaps and/or shortcomings from adopted analytical methods from reviewed reports. Assumptions and limitations in their simplified analytical methods will be documented and presented to the Port. CH2M will summarize the limitations in existing vulnerability studies and propose additional analyses, if appropriate, to the Port. 1.04.01.03 Complete additional vulnerability assessment as follows (subject to Port approval). Upon approval, CH2M will conduct an additional vulnerability assessment. At the planning stage, the Port and CH2M anticipate this task will involve: • Development of acceleration response spectra at Franciscan formation (three hazard levels, USGS 2008 source model, NGAWEST2 GMPEs, one representative location, and one representative shear wave velocity); Unless otherwise instructed by the Port, CH2M will not develop site-specific spectra per UCERF3 at this phase of the project; • Development of three single-component horizontal motions spectrally matched to target response spectra; • Development of idealized soil profiles and properties for subsequent evaluations (ten 2-D cross sections); • 1-D site response analyses (four 1-D profiles, total stress using Deepsoil); • Screening level liquefaction assessment (GIS-based, two empirical correlations (NCEER, B&I 2014)); • Screening level slope stability (ten 2-D cross sections, Pseudostatic analyses using PLAXIS); • 2-D numerical model validation against case histories (one case history, one cross section); • Advanced 2-D numerical analyses for slope stability (three 2-D cross sections per screening le...

Earthquake Risk Assessment. DOE shall have received, in form and substance satisfactory to DOE in consultation with the Lender’s Engineer, (i) a geotechnical report prepared by an independent geologist satisfactory to DOE setting forth an acceptable assessment of the earthquake risk for the Project Site and any other property where the Project will be located and recommendations for mitigation of earthquake risk, and (ii) certification from the Borrower and the Lender’s Engineer, together with such other evidence as DOE may request, that such recommendations for mitigation of earthquake risk have been adequately addressed in the Construction Documents.

  • Risk Assessment An assessment of any risks inherent in the work requirements and actions to mitigate these risks.

  • Risk Assessments a. Risk Assessment - DST shall, at least annually, perform risk assessments that are designed to identify material threats (both internal and external) against Fund Data, the likelihood of those threats Schedule 10.2 p.2 occurring and the impact of those threats upon DST organization to evaluate and analyze the appropriate level of information security safeguards (“Risk Assessments”). b. Risk Mitigation - DST shall use commercially reasonable efforts to manage, control and remediate threats identified in the Risk Assessments that it believes are likely to result in material unauthorized access, copying, use, processing, disclosure, alteration, transfer, loss or destruction of Fund Data, consistent with the Objective, and commensurate with the sensitivity of the Fund Data and the complexity and scope of the activities of DST pursuant to the Agreement. c. Security Controls Testing - DST shall, on approximately an annual basis, engage an independent external party to conduct a review (including information security) of DST’s systems that are related to the provision of services. DST shall have a process to review and evaluate high risk findings resulting from this testing.

  • Periodic Risk Assessment Provider further acknowledges and agrees to conduct periodic risk assessments and remediate any identified security and privacy vulnerabilities in a timely manner.
