Piping systems, a vital part of energy industries, e.g. petrochemical, oil & gas and chemical plants, have been found particularly vulnerable under earthquake loading [...]

Earthquakes can cause significant damages to industrial liquid storage tanks resulting in losses of functionality, fires or environmental contamination due to the leakage [...]

The paper will show the application of risk-based methodology for assessing critical components of a typical LNG plant. Therefore, we will consider the LNG plant componen [...]

“Special risk” industrial plants can be highly vulnerable when subjected to natural phenomena such as earthquakes, flooding and explosions. Very often in these cases, [...]

A direct comparison is made between shake table and real time hybrid simulation testing techniques for a two-storey steel building structure model. Only the first-storey [...]

Real-time testing with dynamic substructuring (RTDS) is a novel form of hybrid numerical-experimental testing technique used to simulate structures subjected to seismic l [...]

A multi-objective advanced design methodology dealing with seismic actions followed by fire on steel-concrete composite full strength joints with concrete filled tubes is [...]
