    Seismic Parameters 01-JED-GEO-PR-16-039-02 Rev.1

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses the geology and seismicity of an area in Thuwal, Saudi Arabia where a hotel project is being planned. It describes the soil layers as coral matrix soils overlain by wadi sand or gravel beds. Seismic data from Saudi Aramco indicates short period acceleration of 18.8% g, 1-second period acceleration of 6.7% g, and peak ground acceleration of 4.0% g for the area. Standard penetration tests classify the subsurface soil at the site as Site Class C.

    occur inland at the foot of mountains, and gravel terraces are present in
    most major wadis.

    The coral matrix soils have been formed in the young geological past and
    no noteworthy geological diagenesis surcharge or other densification or
    solidification effect have taken place. The layers were formed by coralline
    fragments deposits. In accordance to the ASTM classification, these
    materials can be described as silty/clayey SAND/GRAVEL or poorly to well
    graded SAND/GRAVEL with gravels, gravely SAND with silts and clayey
    SAND and GRAVEL. Wadi SAND or GRAVEL beds are a common feature
    encountered in all the area occurring as an overburden layer to the coral
    deposits. Some of these soils were found mixed with coral debris. The
    depth and extent of these layers varies widely both in vertical and horizontal
    extent.

    3.3 SEISMICITY

    The seismic data for various locations in KSA as adopted by Saudi Aramco
    vide their SAES-A-112, issue date July 22, 2013 indicate the following
    provisional earthquake data as assigned to Thuwal Area.

    Short Period Acceleration (Ss) in % g : 18.8


    1-sec Period Acceleration (S1) in % g : 6.7
    Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) in % g : 4.0
