An industrial facility consists of many integrated components and processes. As such, operation of a facility depends upon the performance of its critical components. The greatest risk from an earthquake is that to life safety. However, in large earthquakes, industrial buildings and related machinery and equipment damaged may be costly to repair and there may be additional damage from fire and chemical spills. As such, the design (or seismic retrofit) of industrial facilities should preferably be based on performance-based methodologies with the objective of controlling structural and non-structural damage and the triggered technological disasters. In this paper industrial damages and losses that took place in past important earthquakes, especially in the 1999 Kocaeli earthquake, will be summarized. A general description of industrial-sector and component based earthquake performance and vulnerabilities will be provided.
