INTRODUCTION:
The design of blast-resistant structures for the oil and petrochemical industries will be covered in this Online course, with a particular emphasis on blast loads, concrete structures, steel structures, and dynamic material strengths. Participants in this course will learn the skills needed to create dynamic analysis techniques that employ materials like CFRP to shield various structures from blast loads.
What is a blast-proof building?
This course, which has been meticulously created by specialists and seasoned professionals, will provide knowledge of the most recent standards for steel and concrete structural design. This is done in any petrochemical project to resist blast. Together with developing new buildings and structures, instructions will be provided on how to update the current ones to meet the new criteria. Details and ancillaries that are common and in-depth will also be covered include the use of dynamic materials, doors and windows, allowed response requirements, design procedures, and analysis methodologies and approaches.
Course Objectives
The main objectives of this course are to enable participants to:
- Examine in detail the existing structures to ensure they follow the best blast-resistant design
- Thoroughly understand the design process of developing blast-resistant structures
- Review the existing documentation on the designs used in any of the petrochemical industry buildings and structures
- Predict accurately in risks involved in the current designs of the blast-resistant buildings
- Use enhanced tools and techniques to upgrade existing buildings and structures to meet the minimum requirements and recommendations for petrochemical buildings
- Contribute to organisational development by ensuring best practices and international standards are followed
- Familiarise the participants with the standards, challenges, issues, and procedures used to design the best structures that resist blast load
- Develop basic competence in the use and application of existing engineering methods for calculating blast load and dynamic structural response
- Understand the existing problems and how to effectively solve them in the concrete structures that are used in the petrochemical industry
- Provide a comprehensive overview of the design approach used for typical construction materials such as masonry, steel, concrete, and systems
- Provide in-depth knowledge of the principles of dynamic analysis
