Sponsored by the Task Committee on Onshore Heavy Industrial Modularization Guidelines of the Energy Division of ASCE.

Structural Design of Modules for Energy and Industrial Facilities addresses the wide variation of analyses, design, and construction practices that have been applied throughout the industry for industrial modules over three decades in the United States.

Topics include

• Philosophy and early design development concepts,
• Front-end engineering design (FEED),
• Weight management,
• Detailed design considerations for modules,
• Module yard fabrication and assembly,
• Logistics and transportation,
• Site construction and installation, and
• Lessons learned and case histories.

This book intends to be a reference for structural design engineers, operating company personnel responsible for establishing structural design criteria and construction standards, and local building officials tasked with regulatory oversight.
