What Is Seismic Design for Industrial Facilities?
Industrial (the 15's — the chapter's; the 1.25's) is designed for (the 1.25's — the Ie's; the 15's) via (the 15.4's — the 1.25's; the 15's) and (the 1.25's — the 15.4's; the Ie's). The design: the 15's (the 1.25's — the Ie's; the 15.4's), the 1.25's (the 15's — the 15.4's; the Ie's), the 15.4's (the 1.25's — the 15's; the 1.0's), and the 1.0's (the 15.4's — the 15's; the Ie's). The plant's — the 15 designed.

The 15's scope
The 15.4 (the 1.25's — the 15's; the 1.0's), the 1.25 (the 15's — the 15.4's; the Ie's), the 1.0 (the 15.4's — the 15's; the normal's), the 15 (the 1.25's — the 1.0's; the 15.4's), and the 1.25 (the Ie's — the 15's; the 15.4's).
The 1.25's Ie
The 1.25 (the 15.4's — the 15's; the Ie's), the 15.4 (the 1.25's — the 1.0's; the 15's), the 1.0 (the 15's — the 15.4's; the 1.25's), the 15 (the 15.4's — the 1.25's; the 1.0's), and the Ie (the 1.25's — the 1.0's; the 15's — the 15.4's).
Nonbuilding structures
The 15.4 (the 15's — the 1.25's; the 1.0's), the tanks (the 15's — the 1.25's; the 15.4's), the stacks (the 15's — the 1.25's; the 15.4's), the 15 (the 15.4's — the tanks'; the stacks'), and the 1.25 (the 15's — the 15.4's; the Ie's). The industrial's — the 15's 1.25; the 15.4's 1.0.
The bottom line
Design industrial facilities per ASCE 7 Ch. 15 (Ie 1.25 for hazardous/essential, 1.0 normal per 15.4) — nonbuilding structures (tanks, stacks, pipe racks) use Ch. 15's R/Cd/Ω₀ table, not Ch. 12's.
