Anchorage Design for Petrochemical Facilities

Design of anchorages by most petrochemical engineering firms and owner companies uses an extrapolation, variation, or interpretation of the American Concrete Institute (ACI), the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), ASCE, and other technical documents as the basis for the design of anchorage systems for the petrochemical industry. This committee's work has been influenced by the continuing need to update the development of a uniform anchorage design methodology that is acceptable throughout the petrochemical industry.
