Buried pipelines, such as water supply and power transmission systems, play a vital role in
daily life. Seismic resistance of the pipeline systems is a very important research topic …

In this paper, performance criteria for the seismic design of industrial liquid storage tanks
and pi** systems are proposed, aimed at introducing those industrial components into a …

In this study, the square steel tube column is connected by bolted flange instead of
traditional welding. For multi-rise structure, tension, bending moment, and shear force may …

Evidence from past earthquakes has shown high levels of damage to industrial facilities,
demonstrating that seismic loading can cause damage or failure, not only to the main …

This study aims to investigate the seismic vulnerability of elevated steel storage tanks rested
upon reinforced concrete columns through a probabilistic seismic assessment approach. In …

Past earthquakes demonstrated the high vulnerability of industrial facilities equipped with
complex process technologies leading to serious damage of process equipment and …

Past seismic events have shown that industrial facilities may suffer greatly from earthquake-
induced actions, which can cause simultaneous damages to different key apparatus …

Assessment of seismic vulnerability of industrial petrochemical and oil & gas pi** systems
can be performed, beyond analytical tools, through experimental testing as well. Along this …

Pi** systems are typical nonstructural components of a building. Previous investigations
have reported many cases that earthquake causes damages or failures of pi** system …

Refrigerated liquefied gas (RLG) terminals that are part of lifeline facilities must be able to
withstand extreme earthquakes. A liquefied natural gas (LNG, ethylene) terminal consists of …
