Abstract

Urban natural gas pipeline leak and explosion accident can cause the catastrophic consequences, which threaten the safety of adjacent buildings. This paper presents a nonlinear dynamics simulation model for damage assessment of buildings under combustible gas explosion from urban gas pipelines leak. The dynamic response characteristics of the buildings adjacent to natural gas pipelines during the explosions are investigated considering the varying filling methods and gas concentrations. The model was verified by a real accident case. It can be seen that the damage is the most widespread when the combustible gas cloud is filled to the upper part of confined space, and the concentration increase of combustible gas can lead to the increase of damage in building. About 9.5 % concentration of combustible gas cloud cause the highest damage degree. The outcomes can support the safety design of building adjacent to urban natural gas pipelines.

期刊介绍： The broad scope of the journal is process safety. Process safety is defined as the prevention and mitigation of process-related injuries and damage arising from process incidents involving fire, explosion and toxic release. Such undesired events occur in the process industries during the use, storage, manufacture, handling, and transportation of highly hazardous chemicals.
