This book offers students, scholars, and practitioners a clear overview of the problems and the available solutions for the prevention and mitigation of Natech scenarios - technological accidents triggered by natural events, such as earthquakes, tsunamis and floods - addressing both the control and management of risk and the enhancement of system resilience. The book provides the specific theoretical and practical background needed to familiarize with this hot topic and to be in contact with the risk and resilience community.
Understanding Natech events and consequences at hazardousfacilities.- Vulnerability of industrial plant equipment to natural hazards.- Quantitative Risk Assessment of Natech Accidents.- Fire engineering and applications to industrial plant accidents.- A probabilistic approach for seismic resilience analysis ofhazardous industrial facilities in seismic areas.- Seismic fragility assessment of an industrial plant substructureand metastructures for vibration mitigation.
