Special Issue: Natech Risk Assessment of Hazardous Facilities
Industrial plants are particularly prone to be highly damaged when subjected to strong earthquakes. This has been clearly demonstrated in the aftermath of strong seismic events, which may trigger technological accidents usually referred as natural-technological (NaTech) events. One of the most famous examples is represents by the Fukushima disaster during 2011 Tohoku Earthquake. Nevertheless, the effort in developing new design/assessment methodologies is being more and more important as clearly proven by the rapid increasing of the contributions on this topic. In this respect, Performance Based Earthquake engineering, which has seen a rapid growing in the field of civil structure, can be considered rather new in the world of industrial facilities because of the neuralgic role of the consequence analysis, necessary to quantify the individual or societal risk.
This Special Issue is aimed to bring together the latest methodologies and techniques for a reliable estimation of Na-Tech risk of hazardous facilities, including upstream, midstream and downstream industrial hazmat facilities.
As a result, topics of interest include but are not limited to:
1. Performance-based design of hazardous industrial facilities
2. Seismic hazard issues in NaTech risk assessment
3. Advanced methodologies for Na-Tech seismic risk assessment
4. Seismic design of critical non-structural components
5. Design of safety barriers for disaster control of hazardous plants under earthquakes
6. Data Driven SHM for vulnerability assessment of hazardous equipment
7. Resilience of industrial facilities and the nearby community
