Guidelines for Seismic Evaluation and Design of Petrochemical Facilities

By J. Greg Soules

Task Committee on Seismic Evaluation and Design of Petrochemical Facilities. These guidelines offer evaluation methodologies which rely on past experience and focused analyses and address seismic vulnerabilities which are not covered by building codes. Practical recommendations are provided for several areas which affect the seismic safety of petrochemical facilities including hazards, contingency planning, post-earthquake damage assessment, and operational issues. Topics include primary structural design criteria and considerations, walkdown evaluations of existing facilities, and retrofit design for seismically deficit structures.
