ASCE 7 seismic: what type of structure would a valve site be?
(OP)
Regarding ASCE 7, for an above ground valve site with piping and various valves and appurtenances, what type of structure would this be considered in regards to the seismic chapters?
First, I assume it would be "nonbuilding structures." But then in terms of determining which seismic coefficients to use from Table 15.4-2, I'm not sure which would apply for a valve site. Maybe the very last category "all other self-supporting structures"?
