Abstract
Design standards for earthquake engineering have traditionally been lacking depth, clarity and consistency, with respect to design of industrial facilities and structures The objectives of this paper are:
a) to examine the cross discipline impact in a post earthquake scenario,
b) to review some codes of practice in the context of non-building and industrial structures, and
c) review within the context of a performance based approach some considerations associated with the objectives and performance levels that may be required by a business or a client for industrial facilities.
