• The aim of this book is to provide an overview of the calculation procedures for Risk Analysis, that is, the effects and consequences from fires, explosions and toxic gas dispersion. Starting from the probability of an accident to occur, the reader is introduced to the calculation of a leak and then to the calculation of the heat flux, the overpressure, and the concentrations of toxic clouds. Following that, the consequences to people (injuries or deaths) as well as material damages are described. The book concludes with a discussion on the possible causes of destruction.
