Advanced Analysis Topics for Blast Resistant Buildings in Petrochemical Facilities
Analysis methods described in the ASCE guideline "Design of Blast Resistant Buildings in Petrochemical Facilities" published in 1997 focused on simplified methods for blast load prediction and structural response. While these methods are still widely used, advances in modeling techniques and tools as well as increased computing capability have made use of advanced analysis techniques more feasible for analysis and design of structures subjected to vapor cloud explosion, vessel bursts and other explosion hazards in chemical plants and refineries. This paper reviews techniques for advanced blast load prediction, including computational fluid dynamics. A comparison of the capabilities and level of effort required for advanced blast analysis methods and more conventional simplified methods is provided. A discussion of situations where advanced analysis is advisable or required is also covered. Advanced dynamic structural analysis techniques, including non-linear finite element analysis (FEA) will be reviewed for petrochemical facility applications.
