Editorial Reviews: Product Description This report provides general guidelines in the structural design of blast resistant petrochemical facilities. Informational coverage is provided for OSHA requirements, design objectives, siting considerations, and load determination with references mentioned for more detailed information. More detailed coverage is provided for types of construction, dynamic material strengths, allowable response criteria, analysis methods, and design procedures. Typical details and ancillary considerations, such as doors and windows, are also included. A "how to" discussion on the upgrade of existing buildings is provided for older facilities which may not meet current needs. Three example calculations are included to illustrate design procedures.

Customer Reviews: Essential Reference November 8, 2006 William Polhemus (Katy, TX United States) 5 out of 6 found this review helpful This is the de facto "bible" for design of blast-resistant buildings located within petrochemical facilities, just as the title infers. It is offered as a consensus standard reference to address this topic, a sore point among structural designers in the "petrochem" industry for years since no such standard existed previously. The designer was left to wander in the wasteland of proprietary documents authored by operating companies, none of which agreed even on general principle. Although the first few chapters give a concise review of structural dynamics, the intended audience is the seasoned professional engineer who understands the theory but needs to bridge the gap to practical application. The design examples are particularly noteworthy, helping to explain some of the concepts that the dry narrative doesn't quite negotiate.
