Abstract
The Pakistan Chashma (PC) nuclear project was constructed on soft soil site. Research was done to find the effect of wave incoherence on PC Nuclear Island. To find out the inner margin in original design response spectra and as a technical support for further seismic margin evaluation, two kinds of incoherence effects were studied: random spatial variation and wave passage. Compared to the results from the coherent analysis, the wave passage effect led to a larger margin than the random spatial variation. Considering the wave incoherence effect will reduce the unnecessary conservative in the seismic analysis of nuclear project.
