Synopsis

This is a proceedings volume drawn from the 4th International Conference and Exhibition - Offshore Structures, Hazards, Safety and Engineering Papers, held in London, 12-13 December 1995. Papers under "Working in the New Era" cover: the effects on structural design practices, new offshore safety legislation; and a case study: NAM safety cases - jetfires and gas explosions. "Explosion prediction" looks at: prediction of the strength of blast waves in the surroundings of vented offshore modules, validation of the EXSIM-94 gas explosion simulator; and a case study - the ETAP Mungo Platform - designing for gas accumulation and explosions in offshore modules. "Explosion response" covers: approximate methods for blast-resistant design - accuracy, applicability, limitations and economics; and a case study - FE analysis and full-scale blast tests of an offshore firewall panel. "Case study: the Brae risk reduction project" covers: project overview, QRA and cost-benefit analysis that actually helps and engineering analysis and design. Other papers include: "Fire resistance", "Damage and Reliability" and "Design in the - new era". Postage extra.
