“…The Arctic climate is the most severe with absolute minimum winter temperatures from −54 • C to −71 • C [1]. Buildings and structures in the Arctic and Antarctic are Arctic stations and plants for the production, refining, and transportation of products of the oil and gas facility, the steel load-bearing and enclosing structures of which need to be protected with special materials, in particular fire retardants to increase their fire resistance limits, also after the filling of cryogenic liquid, such as liquid natural gas (LNG) [2][3][4]. The ISO 20088-1:2016 [5], ISO 20088-2:2020 [6], and ISO 20088-3:2018 [7] series of standards regulate the effects of cryogenic liquid (simulation of liquefied hydrocarbon spills) on fire protection on steel structures.…”

Most structures in the Arctic and Antarctic for oil and gas production are offshore stations, tankers, modules, steel supporting, and enclosing structures, which need to be protected against both cryogenic spills and fire exposure. Oil and gas industry facilities have products of high flammability and explosiveness, which in the case of ignition make it possible to develop a fire along the hydrocarbon curve, accompanied by a sharp jump in temperature and the formation of excessive pressure. This article discusses possible structural fire protection for metal structures in the Arctic region. Three different structural fireproofing materials are presented using super-thin basalt fiber (STBF) as an example. Tests of steel structures with fire protection are demonstrated, as a result of which the time from the beginning of cryogenic exposure to the limit state of samples is determined, and after the time from the beginning of thermal exposure to the limit state of samples under the hydrocarbon temperature regime is determined. An assessment of various flame retardants with values up to 120 min, which can be used in arctic climate conditions, was carried out. It was found that the most effective coatings are materials prepared on the basis of STBF.

“…Batres et al use the ontology model to describe disaster scenarios, in which a disaster scenario is regarded as a combination of activities, events, physical disaster objects and semantic relations [7]. Imran et al propose that the scenarios selections are usually based on expert's opinion, history of past disasters and safety reviews [8]. These studies provide useful experience for constructing structural representation of scenarios in emergency management.…”

Disaster resilience is important for a smart city. Analyzing disaster cases within a scenario-based analytical framework provides an effective way to acquire specific experience in disaster prevention and emergency management. This study proposes a dynamic scenario model, which consists of developing scenario representation and developing scenario sequence. Developing scenario representation provides a normalized representation framework for disaster scenarios. Meanwhile, how to make the representation contributes to severity evaluation is discussed. Developing scenario sequence establishes dependencies among disaster scenarios to show the whole disaster evolution of disaster cases. A disaster case of a crude oil tank is taken as an example to give a better understanding of the dynamic scenario model. The result shows that the dynamic scenario model can establish a more structurally and normalized representation for disaster scenarios. Furthermore, the model also provides an intuitive way for evaluation of disaster consequence severity, which helps in improving the situation awareness of the disaster.

Offshore and onshore structures continuously experience hydrocarbon fire accidents almost every year. To secured structure against extreme fire conditions, passive fire protection (PFP) is applied. However, PFP is a costly material which is applied only on critical structural members. Any unprotected surface can cause major structural damages during fire incidence if the behaviour of an unprotected surface is unknown. Usually, PFP applied easily around the column, but for beams, the application varies with the beam locations. In this paper the behaviours of steel beam compared with three different common scenarios such as fully protected, unprotected and partially protected under hydrocarbon fire. Fully protected beam has tremendous fire resisting capability compared to partially protected beams or unprotected beams. The study revealed that temperature of the top flange in partially protected beam exceeds more 600°C in less than 10 minutes which caused rapid failure in less than 30 minutes. Under extreme fire conditions the strength and stiffness of a beam affected which cause instability of structure during fire accident.
