โฆ Synopsis
Section 4 of the Interim Guidance Notes for the Design and Protection of Topside Structures against Explosion and Fire (IGN) gives design guidance for fire resistance. This Technical Note is intended to compliment that section in a number of subject areas and offers more commentary, particularly with regard to the analysis methods. Worked examples are also included. It is intended that this document should not duplicate the IGN, although for clarity it is inevitable that parts will. The scope of this document is only intended to cover the following sections of the IGN:

Where gas explosions represent a credible risk, platform topsides have to be designed to withstand explosion loading. There are two aspects to consider: firstly loading on the structure and secondly loading and effect on equipment. This Technical Note deals principally with the first aspect but is a
This Technical Note has been prepared to focus on the subject of progressive collapse. In order to provide guidance for selection and use of a suitable progressive collapse analysis system and progressive collapse modeling, this document introduces the basic theory behind progressive collapse and pr
