In order to perform consistent and credible quantitative comparisons of pressure histories produced during interior explosive testing, a consistent and clearly defined set of metrics is needed. Additionally, a methodology is needed for estimating those metrics from test data which can be noisy and in which a number of different physical phenomena are overlaid and tend to obscure one another.
Mr. Bogosian is a member of BakerRisk’s Structures Group. Mr. Bogosian’s work focuses on the design, analysis, and upgrade of structures subjected to blast and impact loads. Areas of practice include industrial facilities (for buildings subjected to accidental explosions), conventional and nuclear weapons effects, anti-terrorist design, and explosive safety for manufacturing and storage facilities. Project management experience ranges from small and straightforward to multi-year R&D programs for the US government.
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.
