1. SCOPE
This document defines design loading requirements for seismically induced forces for
all structures, systems and components appropriate to their function, use, operational
importance and public safety.
2.1 Non Critical Non LNG Related Structures, Systems and Components
All structures, systems and components supporting and/or containing non-essential
services for which the temporary loss of operational capacity and repair time would
have no impact on the operation of the terminal. It is expected that these SSC’s would
survive OBE level earthquake, as defined by NFPA 59A 2001, without collapse or loss
of life.
2.2 Non Critical Non LNG Related Structures, Systems and Components located in
hazardous areas
Any structures, systems and components, where damage and subsequent repairs
would not effect continuity of the operation of the terminal, however whose collapse is
prevented up to Safe Shut Down condition, as defined by NFPA 59A 2001. (i.e.
equipment shelters). It is expected that these SSC’s may suffer damaged at OBE level
earthquake, as defined by NFPA 59A 2001.
2.5 Buildings
Any building which is intended for permanent or occasional human occupation.

4.1 Non Critical Non LNG Related Structures, Systems and Components
Since, there are no functionality requirements for non critical non LNG related SSC’s,
the seismic loading can be established on the basis of a single earthquake (DE=OBE)
as recommended by the ASCE 7-05 and MMI Report Rev 3 2007. The significant post-
elastic deformation is accepted for these SSC’s.
4.1.1 Structures
• Follow ASCE 7-05 and NFPA 59A 2001 OBE spectrum (refer to § 3.1 fig.1)
• Occupancy Category II
• Importance Factor I=1.0
• Response Modification Coefficient R as per ASCE 7-05, table 12.2-1
4.2 Non Critical Non LNG Related Structures, Systems and Components located in
hazardous areas
For non critical non LNG related SSC’s located in hazardous areas, the seismic loading
can be established on the basis of a single earthquake (DE=OBE) as recommended by
the ASCE 7-05 and MMI Report Rev 3 2007. The significant post-elastic deformation is
accepted for these SSC’s, however collapse should be prevented up to and including
SSE seismic event. This requires additional SSE level check on these SSC’s.
4.2.1 Structures
• Follow recommendation of § 4.1.1 except the Response Modification Factor R
• Limit value of Response Modification Coefficient R to 55% in order to ensure that
structure posses enough ductility to withstand SSE (ratio SSE/OBE ≈ 1.83).
4.3.1 Structures
• Structures supporting Critical Non LNG Related Systems and Components shall
withstand two level seismic event in accordance with OBE (NFPA 59A 2001) and
SSE (NFPA 59A 2001) seismic acceleration spectra (refer to § 3.1 fig.1 and § 3.2
fig.3)
• Follow ASCE 7-05 approach with OBE (NFPA59A 2001) acceleration spectra
with modification shown below;
• Occupancy Category II
• Importance Factor I=1.0
• Response Modification Coefficient R =1.0
• Since the proposed structural framing systems possess high ductility demand,
corresponding to Response Modification Coefficient R much greater then 2, the
SSE level event is met by default (ratio SSE/OBE≈1.83). Therefore no SSE
check is required.
4.4.2 Structures
• Structures supporting LNG Related Systems and Components shall withstand
two level seismic OBE & SSE.
• For OBE follow ASCE 7-05 approach and OBE (NFPA 59A 2006) acceleration
spectra with modification shown below;
• Occupancy Category II
• Importance Factor I=1.0
• Response Modification Coefficient R=1.0
• Since the proposed structural framing systems possess high ductility demand,
corresponding to Response Modification Coefficient R much greater than 2, the
SSE (NFPA 59A 2001) level event is met by default (ratio SSE/OBE≈1.14).
Therefore no SSE check is required.
4.5 Buildings
All buildings, depended their classification and functional requirement, in addition to
recommendations outlined in § 4.1, § 4.2, § 4.3, § 4.4 and § 4.6, should also follow the
requirement of the Peruvian Standard E.030-2003.
Since, all SSC’s are mounted on the top of the jetty structure and their contribution to
overall stiffness of the system is negligible, the design loadings should be developed in
accordance with § 13.3 of ASCE 7-05.
• For OBE level Spectral acceleration SDS=0.875, Amplification factor ap = 1.00 and
Response Modification Factor Rp = 1.00
• Importance Factor I=1.0
• For SSE level Spectral acceleration SDS=1.60, Amplification factor ap and
Response Modification Factor Rp as per ASCE 7-05, table13.6-1
• Importance Factor I=1.0
