Explosions in the Steel Industry and Their Consequences on the Building Structures of Industrial Buildings
Abstract: Hazards have been identified; the risk of accidents from explosions during electric steelmaking metal production has been evaluated. A detailed analysis of the causes of the explosion in the electric furnace, the consequences of its impact on building structures, taking into account the space-planning solution of the workshop building, is given. A specific example shows the results of the influence of the blast wave from an explosion in an electric arc furnace on the bearing and enclosing building structures of a building. Constructive solutions for the restoration of damaged structures and measures to minimize possible man-made emergency situations such as explosions are proposed. It has been established that in order to study the intensity of the blast wave effect on building structures and make sound design decisions to reduce its influence in the room of all spans of the workshop, it is necessary to install automatic sensors that record the levels of air pressure during periodic explosions when the furnace is loaded.
Keywords: steel production, explosions, supporting structures, defects and damage, loss of stability, gain.
