Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Domino Effects in the Process Industries discusses state-of-the-art theories, conceptual models, insights and practical issues surrounding large-scale knock-on accidents—so-called domino effects—in the chemical and process industries. The book treats such extremely low-frequency phenomena from a technological perspective, studying possible causes and introducing several approaches to assess and control the risks of these scenarios. The authors also examine these events from a managerial viewpoint, discussing single and multi-plant management insights and requirements to take pro-active measures to prevent such events. Academics, regulators, and industrialists who study and analyze domino effects in order to prevent such events will find the book unique and highly valuable. - Outlines available methods in analyzing these events, aiding understanding of the accidents and their causes - Covers current modelling, control and management tactics of domino effects, -facilitating prevention - Identifies areas where new research is needed

This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evolution of the architecture leaded us to build structures with more complex and stylish shapes. This evolution has created the appearance of new structures with unknown behavior and the necessity of study it. This complex shapes they are not only used for buildings, they are also used for any kind of structures as it could be industrial structures or bridges. Steel structures are some of the most used structures for seismic force resisting systems in the world. Many of industrials structures contain hazardous materials and located in areas with very high seismic risk, any failure in the structure during an earthquake would lead to a big catastrophe. Although some industries have their own seismic design guidelines, most of them use the design codes developed primarily for building structures. This type of seismic design practice is not comparable with the importance of the industrial structure itself. The lack of research in this field, specifically focusing on industrial structures with irregularities is mainly responsible for such ill conditions in seismic design practice. There are still a lot of questions about the behavior of these types of structures waiting to be answered. Some parts of the seismic analysis where studies haven't been deep in it and some design procedures should be redone for irregular industrial steel structures. Our goals for this thesis are to study the linear and nonlinear behavior of an irregular industrial steel structure, to comment the problems they cause and if the code needs any modification to avoid or reduce this problems. The irregularity used in this structure is a set-back irregularity; this means that the height of the structure is not the same everywhere, so in some parts we will have more stories than in others. We will deeply study the linear analysis, the difference we found in this structure compared with regular ones and which problems does the set-back cause. Nonlinear analysis will be run for our structure and we will go as far as the theory, the technology and the capacity of the computers nowadays allow as to go. We would design a specific industrial steel structure with a vertical irregularity following the American code. Once the design is completed we would apply a particular earthquake in three different directions to observe the reaction of the structure. We would run both analyses, linear and nonlinear in order to get more deeply into its behavior. Once processed the results obtained we would comment if the structure can be designed following the American code for buildings since there is not any specific code or irregular industrial structures and which particular behavior have the irregular structures as ours. With this thesis we are trying to observe the behavior of irregular industrial steel structure, such analysis haven't been carried out before so we are going profoundly to an unknown area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explosions produce pressure waves which expand in the atmosphere. When impacting industrial equipment, domino effects may be caused if the equipment content is flammable or toxic. A detailed analysis of these scenarios requires complex computational tecniques based on finite element analysis. Simplified methodologies have been developed in the past years for land use planning and quantitative risk assessment. These approaches are based on the definition of probability functions and threshold values for the occurrence of loss of containment from damaged systems and rely on the prediction of peak overpressure with respect to distance from the explosion source and on the structural category of the target equipment.

Download or read book A Validated Approach for Modeling Collapse of Steel Structures written by Vitaliy Victorovich Saykin and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A civil engineering structure is faced with many hazardous conditions such as blasts, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and fires during its lifetime. Even though structures are designed for credible events that can happen during a lifetime of the structure, extreme events do happen and cause catastrophic failures. Understanding the causes and effects of structural collapse is now at the core of critical areas of national need. One factor that makes studying structural collapse difficult is the lack of full-scale structural collapse experimental test results against which researchers could validate their proposed collapse modeling approaches. The goal of this work is the creation of an element deletion strategy based on fracture models for use in validated prediction of collapse of steel structures. The current work reviews the state-of-the-art of finite element deletion strategies for use in collapse modeling of structures. It is shown that current approaches to element deletion in collapse modeling do not take into account stress triaxiality in vulnerable areas of the structure, which is important for proper fracture and element deletion modeling. The report then reviews triaxiality and its role in fracture prediction. It is shown that fracture in ductile materials is a function of triaxiality. It is also shown that, depending on the triaxiality range, different fracture mechanisms are active and should be accounted for. An approach using semi-empirical fracture models as a function of triaxiality are employed. The models to determine fracture initiation, softening and subsequent finite element deletion are outlined. This procedure allows for stress-displacement softening at an integration point of a finite element in order to subsequently remove the element. This approach avoids abrupt changes in the stress that would create dynamic instabilities, thus making the results more reliable and accurate. The calibration and validation of these models are shown. The calibration is performed using a particle swarm optimization algorithm to establish accurate parameters when calibrated to circumferentially notched tensile coupons. It is shown that consistent, accurate predictions are attained using the chosen models. The variation of triaxiality in steel material during plastic hardening and softening is reported. The range of triaxiality in steel structures undergoing collapse is investigated in detail and the accuracy of the chosen finite element deletion approaches is discussed. This is done through validation of different structural components and structural frames undergoing severe fracture and collapse.
