Abstract: Abstract This chapter provides an overview of frequencies for explosion scenarios as well as an overview of different type of explosion consequences. An approach to probabilistic explosion load assessment is outlined, followed by a discussion of how explosion risk may be reduced. Finally an example of dimensioning against blast load and a case study relating to blast load reduction are presented.
