Fire hazard in transportation infrastructure: Review,assessment, and mitigation strategies

This paper reviews the fire problem in critical transportation infrastructures such as bridges and tunnels. The magnitude of the fire problem is illustrated, and the recent increase in fire problems in bridges and tunnels is highlighted. Recent research undertaken to address fire problems in transportation structures is reviewed, as well as critical factors governing the performance of those structures. Furthermore, key strategies recommended for mitigating fire hazards in bridges and tunnels are presented, and their applicability to practical situations is demonstrated through a practical case study. Furthermore, research needs and emerging trends for enhancing the “state-of-the-art” in this area are discussed.

Inherent safer design for chemical process of 1,4-dioldiacetate-2-butene oxidized by ozone

Abstract

Oxidation reaction is the typical thermal runaway reaction, and the reaction of 1, 4-dioldiacetate-2-Butene oxidized by ozone was investigated in this study. Firstly, the thermal hazards of the oxidative exothermic reactions were identified and evaluated combined process risk assessment method. The Qualitative Assessment for Inherently Safer Design (QAISD) was used to identify the risk of the reaction process. Meanwhile, the Reaction Calorimeter (RC1^e) was used to obtain the thermal properties of the oxidation reaction. Then the inherent safer designs (ISD) were proposed according to the risk assessment results to increase the level of safety of chemical industry technique. 1) ISD I: reaction temperature was improved to –5?°C, and ventilation rate was improved to 200?L?h^?1. 2) ISDII: using a tubular reactor as reaction vessel. The results indicated that the severity of the reaction hazard was reduced by 43%, and safety was improved significantly via two ISDs. Moreover, the inherent safety level of the reaction was increased by 63% and 43.4% via ISD Iand II, respectively. The reaction process get closer to inherent safety theories of “minimize,” “substitute,” and “moderate”.     

Spare part requirement prediction under different maintenance strategies

Maintenance cost is a significant part of production costs. Hence, logistics and spare part management should be considered early in the design and operational phase. The reliability characteristic of the item can be used effectively to spare part prediction (SPP). In mining industries, the reliability characteristic can be affected significantly by the operational conditions. In this study, to have an accurate SPP, covariate-based reliability models have been used to estimate the required number of tire spare parts for a dump truck fleet. The outputs represent a significant difference in the required spare parts’ management, when considering and ignoring covariates.     

Context-driven mean residual life estimation of mining machinery

Maintenance is crucial to ensure production/output and customer satisfaction in the mining sector. The cost of maintenance of mechanised and automated mining systems is very high, necessitating efforts to enhance the effectiveness of maintenance systems and organisation. For effective maintenance planning, it is important to have a good understanding of the reliability and availability characteristics of the systems. Determining the Mean Residual Life (MRL) of systems allows organisations to more effectively plan maintenance tasks. In this paper, we use a statistical approach to estimate MRL and consider a Weibull proportional hazard model (PHM) with time-independent covariates to model the hazard function so that the operating environment could be integrated into the reliability analysis. The paper explains our methods for calculating the conditional reliability function and computing the MRL as a function of the current conditions. The model is verified and validated using data from the hydraulic system of LHD equipment in a Swedish mine. The results are useful to estimate the remaining useful life of such systems; the method can be used for maintenance planning, helping to control unplanned stoppages of highly mechanised and automated systems.

组合赋权的TOPSIS在冲击地压危险性评价中的应用

为了合理准确地评价煤矿冲击地压危险性,在现有评价冲击地压危险性实例的基础上,从煤矿地质因素和开采因素2个方面,选取10个主要的影响指标,利用熵权法和指标相关性权重法分别计算影响冲击地压危险性的各评价指标权重,再根据组合赋权的方法得出各指标的综合权重,构建基于逼近理想解理论的冲击地压危险性评价模型。以重庆砚石台煤矿为例,选取20组评价冲击地压危险性样本数据进行分析,确定评价冲击地压危险性的最优和最劣状况,然后计算出各个评价方案与最优和最劣状况的距离,最后综合最优与最劣距离,确定评价对象的相对贴近度。应用结果表明:评价结果与实际情况一致,且该模型相较其他模型的评价结果更加科学准确,表明该方法有良好的实用价值。
