ABSTRACT
This study was conducted in the Geological Investigation Project of the proposed GROBOGAN CEMENT PLANT 6000t/d Clinker Cement Production Line Geological Investigation Project in GROBOGAN Regency located about 60 km east of Semarang City, Central Java Province, Central Java, Republic of Indonesia. We conducted a geotechnical investigation to meet the needs of the requirements for engineering design and construction. The seismic effect of the site and the suitability of foundation soil as a holding layer were evaluated based on the Chinese standard “Code for Seismic Design of Buildings” (GB50011-2010) (2016 edition) and according to the engineering geology analogy method and regional experience. The earthquake intensity in the study site was classified as a 7-degree area, implying the area is stable.
