Abstract This study aims to provide a framework for adopting performance-based seismic design in plant facilities, taking into account the recent introduction of performance-based design for non-conventional loads. A comparative analysis of existing performance-based designs, including earthquake, wind, and fire was conducted. To establish a basic framework for performance-based blast-resistant design, existing blast-resistant design guidelines were referred to. The design blast load based on the return period was proposed by referring to the QRA results performed by various researchers. In relation to the design blast load, the standoff distance factor was presented for the reduction of the load according to the distance. Through a comprehensive review, blast performance levels, protection standards, and acceptance criteria were proposed. This study can contribute to the development of design standard for the performance-based blast resistant design in plant facilities.
