Seattle City Light Contracted with Hatch Acres to Perform Risk Cost Analysis (RCA) to Evaluate Options To Address Seismic Vulnerability Along the Penstocks

1.Walked the Penstock 2.Identified PFMs 3.Site Geology and Seismic History 4.ID’d Frequent, Occasional or Rare
Events 5.Performed Stability Analysis

Identification of Frequent, Occasion and Rare Seismic Events The penstocks and supporting structures were evaluated for three earthquake events. The three earthquake events selected were: Frequent: Approximately 69 percent probability of exceedance in 50 years (1-in-43 year earthquake) as defined by Structural Engineers Association of California (SEAOC). Occasional (Operational Basis Event [OBE]): Approximately 40 percent probability of exceedance in 50 years (1-in-100 year earthquake) per City of Seattle residential slope analysis standards (City of Seattle Director’s Rule 33-2006). Rare (Maximum Design Event [MDE]): Approximately 7 percent probability of exceedance in 75 years (1-in-1033 year earthquake) per the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications (AASHTO 2008).

A RCA was performed for each seismic event which modeled the risk cost using the probability of the seismic event, the economic properties of each failure mode, and the economic properties of the proposed interventions. Each RCA also modeled the risk reduction that each intervention would produce, and calculated a benefit-cost ratio by comparing this risk reduction to the cost of the intervention. These benefit-cost ratios allowed the economics interventions to be compared to optimize the rehabilitation plan.

A total of eight interventions were recommended based on risk cost analysis with an assumed 40 year project life and 4% discount rate. Each of the interventions had benefit cost ratios greater than 0.9.
