| dc.description | In the late 1970’s it was recognised that the seismic provisions of the current NZS 4203:1976 did not readily apply to the types of structures normally used within the land based processing facilities of the “heavy industries” such as petrochemical and oil and gas processing plants impending under the “Think Big” regime.
Since the 1984 revision to NZS 4203, there have not been any publicly available New Zealand guidelines on how to interpret the earthquake provisions of the various versions of NZS 4203 (and now AS/NZS 1170) that would update the 1981 publication created by the Ministry of Works for the Ministry of Energy, “Seismic Design of Petrochemical Plants”.
There are overseas publications that have considered the differences in the typical structural systems necessary to support the equipment and distributive systems needed to process industrial feedstock. How they behave seismically has been reviewed and recommendations made on the methods to be used to determine the design seismic actions. Such standards as ASCE 7 and FEMA 450 incorporate these in a specific manner relating to the design of industrial plant.
With the advent of new oil and gas processing plants in Taranaki, this paper takes the opportunity to review AS/NZS 1170 and adapt these overseas guidelines for the seismic design of new industrial plant in New Zealand. The background for these guidelines will be presented with examples of typical industrial structural systems and their seismic actions. This is with the aim of re-establishing a basis of seismic design for industrial plant within the framework of the new standards AS/NZS 1170.0 and NZS 1170.5. | en-US |
