Details

The seismic vulnerability analysis of existing equipment of the Upstream Plant (Centro Olio Val d’Agri, COVA) located in Viggiano (Basilicata Region, Italy) has been analyzed by mean of refined models. Moreover, proper mitigation strategies have been selected, designed and implemented.

This activity concerned the seismic assessment of piperacks and piping systems of COVA conduced according to Italian Technical Regulations (NT2018). The study has been conducted by using non-linear models in which Fiber section elements have been used for the primary structure, whereas the nonlinearity of the piping system has been related to the friction in the bearings and the gap in the thermal joint 

A retrofitting solution of this equipment based on the bracing systems  has also been Designed.

SafePlant is a spin-off of the Department of Engineering of “Roma Tre” University.
