Seismic Criteria for California Marine Oil Terminals. Volume 3, Design Example
Abstract
The Navy and the California State Lands Commission entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement for the development of seismic design criteria for waterfront construction. This task has produced NFESC TR-2lO3-SHR "Seismic Criteria for California Marine Oil Terminals" by Ferritto et al.; Volumes 1 and 2 dated July 1999. The document develops and expands on work that was begun by the Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center to provide seismic design criteria for waterfront construction. The cited report presents criteria that are intended to define a minimum level of acceptable performance for marine oil terminals and includes in addition to the criteria, seven chapters and three appendices of technical supporting material. The development of the criteria recognized the need to protect the environment from oil spills, the need to provide for the transfer of required natural resources into the State, and the economics of operating a commercial facility in a competitive market This report is the third volume of the guide and presents a design example case study prepared by Professor M. J. N. Priestley, University of California, San Diego. The design example uses the criteria and performance limits in the evaluation of a typical wharf structure. The procedures used in this example are presented in Chapter 3 of Volume of the Guide.
