Risk-targeted safety distance of reinforced concrete buildings from natural-gas transmission pipelines

Paola Russo and Fulvio Parisi

Reliability Engineering and System Safety, 2016, vol. 148, issue C, 57-66

Abstract: Natural-gas pipeline accidents mostly result in major damage even to buildings located far away. Therefore, proper safety distances should be observed in land use planning to ensure target safety levels for both existing and new buildings.
