Fire and explosions pose serious risks to structures, especially offshore platforms, industrial facilities, and petrochemical plants. This book provides a practical and technical guide for engineers, researchers, and safety professionals seeking to design resilient structures.Covering fire chemistry, explosion characteristics, thermal-structural analysis, and fire protection strategies, this book bridges the gap between theory and real-world application. It introduces methodologies such as FEED frameworks, fire scenario modeling, and sequential thermal-structural analysis to help professionals assess risks and enhance structural safety.Designed for structural engineers, fire safety consultants, and professionals in the offshore industry, this book provides essential knowledge and tools to mitigate fire and blast hazards. With case studies, best practices, and design insights, it serves as a crucial reference for those aiming to protect lives and assets in high-risk environments.
