Vulnerability assessment of storage tanks exposed to simultaneous fire and explosion hazards

Xiaofeng Li et al.

Summary: This study aims to establish a method for quantitative evaluation of the vulnerability of storage tanks exposed to simultaneous fire and explosion hazards. The developed method considers the coupling effect of high temperature caused by fire and instantaneous strong impulse induced by explosion on the damage probability of atmospheric storage tanks. The results highlight that pre-fire exposure has significant effects on the damage probability and the scaled safety distance of the tank under subsequent explosion load. The proposed approach can be used for rapid quantitative risk assessment of domino effect involving the synergistic impacts of fire and explosion.

Exploring hazardous chemical explosion accidents with association rules and Bayesian networks

Xin Li et al.

Summary: A qualitative and quantitative model is proposed in this study to explore the causes and paths of hazardous chemical explosion accidents (HCEAs) in China. The accident factors were screened using association rule (AR), and the fault tree (FT) structure of HCEA was developed. The qualitative model was then transformed into a quantitative Bayesian network (BN) model. The results reveal that improper temperature control due to operating procedures is the most likely route to accidents, and process management and operating procedures have the greatest impact on HCEA.

Experimental investigation of steel fiber reinforced concrete slabs subjected to underwater contact explosions

Haonan Zhao et al.

Summary: This study presents experimental results on the static tests conducted on steel fiber reinforced concrete, which showed that the addition of steel fiber effectively enhances the compressive and tensile strength of concrete while improving its anti-explosion capacity. Underwater contact explosion tests were performed to observe damage patterns and compare shock pressure data. The results suggest that steel fiber reinforced concrete holds great promise as a superior material for resisting extreme loads, especially in marine environments.

Reliability analysis of structures with inerter-based isolation layer under stochastic seismic excitations

Jin-Yang Li et al.

Summary: This paper conducts simulation-based stochastic dynamic response analysis and reliability analysis to examine the feasibility and robustness of a base isolation technique using a tuned inerter damper (TID) under random earthquake excitations. The results show that the introduction of a TID isolation layer significantly alleviates the seismic randomness effect, enhances the overall system robustness, and improves the reliability of the RC structure, highlighting its effectiveness and potential in future industrial applications.

Numerical study and experimental tests on full-scale RC slabs under close-in explosions

R. Castedo et al.

Summary: This study investigates the response of three reinforced concrete slabs to dynamic (explosive) loads through full-scale testing and numerical simulation. Different concrete material models were compared to determine the most accurate representation of damage evolution, with the FE-SPH model showing slightly better reproduction of surface damage than the classic FE-LBE model. The study highlights the importance of selecting appropriate material models for simulating explosive impacts on concrete structures.

Seismic fragility analysis of nuclear power plants considering structural parameter uncertainty

Yan-Gang Zhao et al.

Summary: This study proposes a new method for seismic fragility analysis considering the uncertainties of ground motion and structural parameters, which improves the efficiency of analysis through probabilistic reformulation and point estimation-assisted incremental dynamic analysis. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method were demonstrated using a single-degree-of-freedom system and the finite element model of an AP1000 NPP. The results show that neglecting the uncertainty of structural parameters may lead to overestimation of NPP structure safety, with the elastic module having a dominant influence in sensitivity analysis.

A Bayesian Network Approach for Modeling Dependent Seismic Failures in a Nuclear Power Plant Probabilistic Risk Assessment

Jonathan DeJesus Segarra et al.

Summary: The importance of modeling the dependency between seismic failures of multiple components in a nuclear power plant probabilistic risk assessment has been discussed since the 1980s. The proposed Bayesian network approach provides better results in staying within the lower and upper bounds of system fragility compared to the Reed-McCann method, and it performs similarly to the First-Order Reliability Method and Monte Carlo simulation.
