Abstract
It is well known that escalation events or so-called domino effects may cause the more severe accident scenarios experiences in the chemical and process industries.A relevant research effort has been invested on the subject in the last 15 years.However, adequate and efficient methods to deal with domino scenarios are still an open research problem.This is due to the difficulties in both the technical assessment and the organizational management of accident escalation and propagation with respect to time and space, to the extremely low frequency of such accidents, and finally to the increasing complexity of industrial facilities.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
