On February 27, 2010, an earthquake off the coast of Chile
registered a magnitude of 8.8, making it the largest in Chile since
1960. Between those two massive quakes, Chile enacted codes to
improve the seismic resilience of structures. Because the Chilean
codes are similar to codes in the United States, the performance of
industrial facilities in Chile provided an unprecedented
opportunity to study how heavy U.S. industrial facilities might
perform during a large seismic event. In April 2010, the ASCE/SEI
Chile Assessment Team undertook a mission to observe structures in
the affected zone and to gather information that would be useful to
the development of U.S. codes. One team concentrated on identifying
strengths and weaknesses in the response of industrial structures.
This volume contains the team's report on earthquake effects at the
following facilities: CAP Acero Huachipato Steel Plant, including
the coke plant, two blast furnaces, bar mills, a hot rolling mill,
and a pier; ENAP Bio Bio Refinery, including process units, fin fan
units, a wooden cooling tower, control buildings, and a tank farm;
Abastible San Vicente Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Terminal,
including two LPG spheres, an LPG tank, a pipe rack, and a pier;
Santa Maria Power Station, a coal-fired plant under construction;
and A base isolated pier at the Port of Coronel. This report also
includes an analysis of anchor bolt performance at these facilities
and overall recommendations of the assessment team. Nine appendixes
of supporting documentation-including English translations of two
Chilean standards-are available for download. For structural
engineers, this report provides critical information for the
development and implementation of seismic codes and standards, as
well as for focusing retrofit efforts in heavy industrial
facilities.
