Evaluating of Damages for UnAnchored Surface Tanks under Blast Loadings
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Rahimzadeh Rofouei, Fayaz (Supervisor)
Abstract
On Grade steel tanks are widely used in petroleum complexes, refineries, power plants and many urban facilities. Increasing the number of attacks, incident reports and operational events happening in refineries proves the sensitivity of these strategic facilities against various Hazards such as explosion. So, the damage assessment of tanks after the explosion is important for their maintenance and repair.Since some of the tanks containing flammable materials, quick action to estimate the possible damage and required strengthening and retrofitting or disconnecting the input to a plant lifeline is of utmost importance. Therefore, special attention to study the blast loading and the study of...
A Study of Steel Frames with Steel Plate Shear Wall Resisting System Subjected to Blast Loading
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Aligani Moghaddam, Hassan (Supervisor) ; Saedi Darian, Amir (Co-Supervisor)
Abstract
Over the last years, terrorist attacks and accidental explosions have brought on a need for research in the field of structural engineering to study the response of a building subjected to blast loading conditions. An explosion within or surrounding a building, not only can have disastrous effects causing both structural damage or failure, but may also lead to the death of human beings.In order to prevent these catastrophes and gain a better understanding of responses of the buildings and lateral resisting systems with different characteristics, the study of the behavior of the lateral resisting systems under blast loading conditions is essential. This research will also aid in the...
Response Evaluation of Reinforced Concrete Frames Designed for Earthquake Subjected to Blast Loading
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Kazemi, Mohammad Taghi (Supervisor)
Abstract
Explosion as a physical phenomenon have various effects on the environment, including living organisms, surrounding buildings, equipment and infrastructure there. Due to such extreme loading conditions, efforts have been made during the past three decades to develop methods of structural analysis and design to resist blast loads. The analysis and design of structures subjected to blast loads require a detailed understanding of blast phenomena and the dynamic response of various structural elements. The most appropriate method for evaluating the behavior of structures under blast loading is performance approach which specifies the response of structures against explosion. It seems that...
