| Zusammenfassung |
| A major hazard during the eruption of explosive volcanoes is the formation
of pyroclastic density currents (PDCs). Casualties and physical building
damage from PDCs are caused by the temperature, pressure, and particle load
of the flow. This paper examines the vulnerability of buildings and
occupants to the forces imposed by PDCs along with associated infiltration
of PDC particle and gas mixtures into an intact building. New studies are
presented of building and occupant vulnerability with respect to
temperature, pressure, and ash concentration. Initial mitigation
recommendations are provided. |
