Course Overview
The course outlines various conditions for which disruption of things at the site of the explosion would occur and examples of the different categories of explosions. The role of blast waves and shock waves are deeply discussed in the course. The course concludes with quantification of damages, some basics of risk analysis, acceptable risks and use of Fault Tree and Event Tree analysis for predicting the probability of an explosion.
