Guidelines for Seismic Evaluation and Design of Petrochemical Facilities
by: :American Society of Civil Engineers
ISBN: : 0784402647
|

This book provides background and guidance on seismic design and evaluation of petrochemical facilities. In describing what is required for a valid seismic analysis of piping, this book makes it clear that certain piping models should include the stiffness and mass of the supporting structure. While this complicates an analytical evaluation of piping (and plant) safety, the book provides a detailed inspection procedure to ensure safe design. So analysis is not the only answer. Anyone expecting or cleaning up after an earthquake should be familiar with the subject matter contained here, if not before, then certainly after reading this book. |
