Abstract

The paper highlights the generalized grapho-analytical model of analysis and evaluation of the mechanism of occurrence of the event scenario for the production of fatality/structural collapse in the case of a building affected by explosion. This mathematical model is based on research results in the field of civil explosives for the technological/occupational risks estimation and assessment, as well as threats to the security of protected areas that may be vulnerable through acts of malice. The process of quantitative risk assessment associated with explosion phenomena as a result of the detonation of an explosive charge, allows estimating result indicators based on the use of algorithms and models specific to associated hazards, in order to model the effects and consequences of event scenarios.
