Prepared to provide practical guidance on the design of new petrochemical facilities, this volume is intended for structural design engineers, those responsible for establishing seismic design and construction standards, and local building authorities. It also outlines evaluation methodologies for existing facilities, particularly focusing on seismic vulnerabilities not necessarily covered by building codes. A helpful glossary and nomenclature table are included. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
