CONCLUSIONS
? The API risk classification method has been applied to
Fire and Explosion engineering.
? Two levels of explosion loading are suggested for
explosion assessment by analogy with earthquake
assessment.
? Methods are described which enable the derivation of
a Dimensioning Explosion overpressure which may be
applied to a static or dynamic elastic frame analysis to
assess the structure against the Ductility Level explosion.
This will be useful in the early stages of a design or
assessment project.
