Abstract

The LPG station's explosion at Bucheon city was a major accident which with rare frequency of occurrence but large damage effect. Therefore, to prevent similar accident in the future from LPG chargings stations which located at inner urban area, it needs to identify the damage effects of such facilities by comparing theoretically quantities risks-PHAST. The BLEVE effects from the accident showed similar level in case of heat flux, however, the over pressure level reflected at reduced distance. The structure damage to the nearby area showed comparatively large reduction of concrete strength and shape changes through by heat effect while the overpressure effect was small.
