Work Package 6

Seismic behaviour and design of industrial pressure vessels; development of seismic design guidelines/recommendations.


WP Leader: AACHEN UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY


Objectives


The main objective of this workpackage (WP6) is the development of design guidelines / recommendations for the seismic analysis and design of industrial pressure vessels (vertical cylinders, horizontal cylinders and spheres). The guidelines will concern various geometries and support conditions and will be compatible with the existing Eurocode 8 (EN 1998) framework for earthquake-resistant design.
