Eurocode 1 - Actions on structures - Part 1-7: General actions - Accidental actions

EN 1991-1-7 provides strategies and rules for safeguarding buildings and other civil engineering works against identifiable and unidentifiable accidental actions. EN 1991-1-7 defines: - strategies based on identified accidental actions, - strategies based on limiting the extent of localised failure. The following subjects are dealt with in this part of EN 1991: - definitions and symbols (Section 1); - classification of actions (Section 2); - design situations (Section 3); - impact (Section 4); - explosions (Section 5); - design for consequences of localised failure in buildings from an unspecified cause (informative Annex A); - information on risk assessment (informative Annex B); - dynamic design for impact (informative Annex C); - internal explosions (informative Annex D). Rules on dust explosions in silos are given in EN 1991-4. Rules on impact from vehicles travelling on the bridge deck are given in EN 1991-2. EN 1991-1-7 does not specifically deal with accidental actions caused by external explosions, warfare and terrorist activities, or the residual stability of buildings or other civil engineering works damaged by seismic action or fire, etc.

1 Modification to 5.3, Principles for design
In Paragraph (1), replace the existing Note by the following one:
"
NOTE The National Annex may give the procedures to be used for the types of internal explosions. Guidance on
dealing with the following specific types of explosion is given in Annex D:
– gas and vapour/air explosions in rooms and closed sewage basins;
– dust explosions in rooms, vessels and bunkers;
– gas and vapour/air explosions in road and rail tunnels;
– dust, gas and vapour/air explosions in energy ducts.
The values presented in Annex D of this part may be considered as nominal values given that the explosion
occurs.
When calculating the structural response, dynamic and nonlinear behaviour may be taken into account. A load
duration of 0,2 s may be adopted and damage is acceptable provided it does not lead to disproportional collapse.
The load-time function may be assumed triangular. A sensitivity study on the load-time function should be
performed to identify the peak load time within the 0,2 s duration.".

(informative)

Internal explosions
D.1 Natural gas explosions
(1) For buildings which might have piped natural gas installed, or where gas canisters can be present, the
structure may be designed to withstand the effects of an internal natural gas explosion using a nominal
equivalent static pressure given by Formulae (D.1) and (D.2):
p = 3 + p (D.1)
d stat
or
2
p = 3 + p / 2 + 0,04 / (A / V) (D.2)
d stat v
whichever is the greater;
where
2
p is the nominal equivalent static pressure to design the structure in [kN/m ];
d
2
p is the uniformly distributed static pressure at which venting components will fail in [kN/m ];
stat
2
A
is the area of venting components in [m ];
v
3
V is the volume of rectangular enclosure in [m ].
3
Formulae (D.1) and (D.2) are valid for a single room up to 1 000 m total volume.
NOTE 1 The pressure due to deflagration acts effectively simultaneously on all of the bounding surfaces of the
room.
NOTE 2 Multi-room explosions may give much higher pressures. The pressures are difficult to calculate as
they are not simply limited by the strength of the vent panels; therefore, for this type of explosion, the strategy
based on limiting the extend of localized failure (see Figure 3.1) should be adopted.
(2) Where building components with different p values contribute to the venting area, the largest value of
stat
2
p should be used. No value of p greater than 50 kN/m need be taken into account.
stat d
(3) The ratio of the area of venting components and the volume should comply with Formula (D.3):
−1 −1
0,05 m ≤ A / V ≤ 0,15 m (D.3)
v
NOTE Natural gas is a gaseous fossil fuel consisting primarily of methane but including significant quantities of
ethane, butane, propane, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, helium and hydrogen sulfide. Before natural gas can be used as
a fuel, it undergoes extensive processing to remove almost all materials other than methane.
D.2 Dust explosions in rooms, vessels and bunkers
(1) The design value p for the maximum pressure developed in vented cubic and elongated rooms, vessels
d
and bunkers for dust explosions within a single room may be determined from the empirical Formula (D.4):
−8 -0,569 -0,5 0,753
