Conference Papers
Mr. Anderson is a member of BakerRisk’s Structures Group. His expertise has focused on the analysis structures subjected to both conventional and impulsive loadings including existing steel, cold-formed metal, reinforced and unreinforced masonry, wood, and reinforced concrete structures subject to postulated blast loading. Mr. Anderson’s expertise also extends to protective building design, where he has executed non-linear single-degree-of-freedom analysis techniques to determine component and overall building damage levels to design detailed blast-resistant buildings, blast separation and protective walls, high pressure test enclosures, and protective barriers.
As the biofuels industry continues to expand in support of global decarbonization mandates and objectives, facility owners and developers are being challenged to balance production efficiency, operational reliability, and personnel safety.
As high hazard facilities, biofuels sites should focus on developing a fire protections strategy informed by performance-based analysis so strategies implemented meet the unique challenges found at each facility.
