Industrial building design - seismic issues
Current building codes provide seismic design criteria for buildings that are based upon characteristics of typical commercial and institutional buildings. Industrial buildings have many characteristics that distinguish them from commercial and institutional buildings. Therefore, the design of these facilities for seismic loads can be problematic, with the design engineer and building officials uncertain on how to apply the provisions provided in the building code to these structures. These characteristics are defined in this paper, and the authors provide strategies and thoughts on how these structures may be designed, accounting for these characteristics. Definitive answers are not provided to all design issues discussed but the intent of this paper is to define these issues with the hope of generating discussion and future study on these issues. As noted, IBC 2006 and ASCE 7-05 provide refinements that assist with some of these issues. Many industrial facilities include non-building structures that also require consideration for seismic loads. The design of these structures is typically based upon a combination of building code requirements and recognized industry standards. This paper provides a cursory review of these design requirements, with references to applicable recognized standards.
