de Boer, J.G.G.M. (author), Hofmeyer, H. (author), Maljaars, J. (author), van Herpen, R.A.P. (author)A self-supporting sandwich panel facade system under fire is studied. First, a thermomechanical FE model, which comprises the complete facade system, and incorporates material degradation and geometrical nonlinear behaviour except for the insulation material and connections, is loaded by a fire temperature curve. Eurocode design rules then...article 2019

Boot, H. (author)In the past decades, the standard approach in the modelling of consequences of pool and jet fires would be to describe these fires as tilted cylindrical shaped radiating flame surfaces, having a specific SEP (Surface Emissive Power). Some fine tuning on pool fires has been done by Rew and Hulbert in the late nineties to divide the flame in a...conference paper 2016

Landucci, G. (author), Molag, M. (author), Reinders, J. (author), Cozzani, V. (author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)Two large-scale diesel pool fire engulfment tests were carried out on LPG tanks protected with intumescing materials to test the effectiveness of thermal coatings in the prevention of hot BLEVE accidental scenarios in the road and rail transport of LPG. A specific test protocol was defined to enhance reproducibility of experimental tests. The...article 2009

Paltrinieri, N. (author), Landucci, G. (author), Molag, M. (author), Bonvicini, S. (author), Spadoni, G. (author), Cozzani, V. (author)The potential reduction of risk in LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) road transport due to the adoption of passive fire protections was investigated. Experimental data available for small scale vessels fully engulfed by a fire were extended to real scale road and rail tankers through a finite elements model. The results of mathematical simulations...article 2009

TNO Industrie en Techniek (author), Landucci, G. (author), Molag, M. (author), Reinders, J. (author), Tugnoli, A. (author), Cozzani, V. (author)Distribution and storage of liquefied pressurised gases is a critical safety issue, often resulting in a very high individual and societal risk, at least in densely populated zones. Several risk assessments pointed out that this is mostly due to the possible occurrence of a Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosions (BLEVE) of the tank that may...conference paper 2008

Luiijf, H.A.M. (author), Klaver, M.H.A. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)Modern societies are increasingly dependent on a set of critical products and services which comprise the Critical Infrastructure (CI). This makes Critical infrastructures increasingly important as a planning factor in case of emergencies. For that reason, we studied a number of emergencies and a small set of local emergency plans from the...conference paper 2005
