ABSTRACT
Mitigation of potential damage to the build ebnvironment, can be effectively reached by the seismic reliability evaluation and retrofitting of existing structures and/or installations. This paper presents the experience achieved in a seismic retrofitting program implemented in parts of a major oil refinery plant, and discusses a simplified probabilistic procedure in order to take decissions among several options based on the reliability of the system and expected material losses. Seismic performance is determined by dinamic analysis procedures in order to evaluate the structural safety of critical zones of the equipments, under the combined effect of seismic actions, gravity and service loads. The procedure is illustrated by a simplified example (AU)
