Development of Seismic Design Code for Oil Facilities in Iran

Abstract eng:
A new seismic design code for oil facilities is being discussed by a research project committee organized by NIOEC (National Iranian Oil Engineering and Construction Company). Present paper shows the basic concept of the new design code which introduces the seismic design methods of an allowable stress design method and a ductility design method depending on the input seismic intensity. After reviewing the current main international design codes focusing on the design spectra, a method to obtain velocity design spectra for the design of buried structures corresponding to the acceleration design spectra for the design of above ground structures has been proposed
