SUMMARY

Development of Seismic Design Guidelines for Port and Harbor Facilities

The primary objective of this project is to perform the first phase of work required to produce a seismic design guidelines document for critical port and harbor facilities, keying on containerized shipping activities. Both new construction and improved existing construction will be considered. The guidelines document will focus on improved earthquake survivability for containerized shipping functions, considering system-wide processes and functionality.
