The seismic design criteria are briefly reviewed: the importance of the yielding phenomena on the seismic response is presented. The decisive importance of ductility is confirmed by the field observations. The ductility causes reduction in the response with flattening of the peaks. Some analyses are performed on several piping systems in static equivalent conditions with ZPA loading. Such analyses assume some ductility in the system. Problems are found only for very flexible systems.
