A Model for the Domino Effect Analysis in Quantitative Risk Assessment

Article Preview

Abstract:

The domino effect is responsibility for many most destructive accidents in the chemical process industry. The catastrophic consequences are not only affecting the industrial sites, but also people and environment. However, quantitative methods which take in to account the domino effect are still missing. A model for quantitative assessment of the domino effect is presented. The probabilities of occurrence are obtained by the event trees. The frequencies of different accidents can be obtained by applying the proposed method. The results of the case study show that the domino effect should be taken into account in quantitative risk assessment (QRA).
