MAKING SURE TANKS ARE SEISMICALLY FIT

   Objective
This session will show how to comprehensively risk screen and assess tank facilities for fitness against large scale earthquakes.
   Description
Although seismic design standards are well developed, the codes, standards, and regulations typically do not require upgrading older tanks to current seismic design criteria which have changed substantially. Therefore, in general, older facilities are at higher risk than newer ones. Since there are no regulations that require upgrading, this course shows how to screen these for the risks that they pose.
