Seismic Vulnerability Evaluation of Pipe Rack Supporting Structures in A Petrochemical Complex in Iran

seismic evaluation of pipe rack supprting structures in a petrochemical complex as one of the most important parts of structural systems for safe and stble production processes have been studied in this paper the behavior of these supporting structures is similar to steel or reinforced concrete frame supporters for elevated processes pipes. qualitative and quantitative methods of seismic vulnerability evaluations have been used according to the ASCE98 standard.
