Abstract
This appendix indicates the appropriate structural system factors (R) and base shear
equations that should be used for a number of typical refinery structures and types
of equipment. However, the base shear equations that are given are not comprehensive. Refer to equations through and 100-11 through 100-14 for more detail.
