Fire-resistant structures

Mitigation measures can also be passive safeguards, meaning that they require no human intervention and no engineered sensing and actuation system to work. Examples of passive mitigation measures are secondary containment systems, blast-resistant and fire-resistant structures, insulated or low-heat-capacity spill surfaces to reduce the rate of evaporation, and an increased distance between the hazardous materials and energies and the sensitive receptors.

It could become a major factor in developing our national and civil defense programs. Its greatest asset would be the fact that the safety factor in existing non-fire-resistive structures could be increased measurably. [Pg.26]

The COMAH Containment policy states that Bunds shall be impermeable and that bunds shall have fire resistant structural integrity, joints and pipework penetrations . This covers the preparation of the tank base and foundation plus the selection of lining systems concrete, earth or polymeric or polymeric and mineral composites. [Pg.43]
