摘要

Robust risk assessment strategies are needed for industrial facilitiesBuildings industrial facilities in vulnerable zones due to their seismic patterns of increased frequency and intensity. Being heavy with machines, hazardous materials, and the complexity of foundations makes industrial infrastructures vulnerable to geotechnicalGeotechnical hazards like soil liquefaction, ground shaking, and slope instability. The geotechnicalGeotechnical risk assessment framework presented in this paper is specifically proposed for industrial setup in seismic zones. The framework applies the evaluation of vulnerability using a combination of geotechnicalGeotechnical data analysis, hazard mapping, and soil structure interaction modeling. The framework is applied to a case study of an industrial plant in a moderate seismic region. Soil properties and proximity to fault lines were the critical determinants of risk, as indicated by the results. The findings highlight that geotechnicalGeotechnical and seismic evaluations should be considered as an integrated part of supporting resilient design and retrofitting strategies.
