1 Scope

This Specification specifies the fundamental requirements for seismic action, structural seismic calculation and seismic measures of structures in petrochemical industry.

This Specification is applicable to seismic design for structures in petrochemical industry in areas with seismic precautionary intensity ranging from 6 to 9. It is not applicable to the pipes itself serving as stressed structures and other large cross-over pipe racks across the rivers.

Notes:

1 "Intensities 6, 7, 8 and 9" in this Specification is short for "seismic precautionary intensities of 6, 7, 8 and 9".

2 Structures in petrochemical industry include:

a) Frame-bent structure composed of reinforced concrete frame, frame-shear wall structure and bent;

b) Load-bearing steel frame, steel bent, steel frame-bent structure composed of steel frame support and steel bent;

c) Petrochemical tower-type equipment foundation and vertical tank foundation with total height above ground greater than or equal to 10m;

d) Frame type foundation of parallel and coaxial reactors and regenerators in catalytic cracking unit;

e) Foundations of atmospheric vertical steel cylindrical tanks;

f) Steel spherical tank foundations supported by steel frames;

g) Foundations of horizontal exchangers and horizontal tanks;

h) Foundations of tubular heater, converter and vertical heater;

i) Ethylene cracking heater frames and foundations;

j) Independent pipe racks, spanning pipe racks, longitudinal beam pipe racks and special pipe racks;

k) Exhaust stack and torch-tower frames;

l) Counterflow-type mechanical draught cooling towers and cross-flow mechanical draught cooling towers;

m) Ground, underground and semi-underground reinforced concrete pools;

n) Cast-in-place concrete silos which store bulk materials and are round or rectangular in plane shape and urea granulation-towers;

o) Independent chimneys, reinforced concrete chimneys and landing single-tube steel chimneys;

p) Reinforced concrete fire-dikes.
