The general approach to the industrial safety of capital construction projects in Russia, the EU countries, the USA is provided based on an analysis of the requirements in terms of explosion-proof design of buildings and structures. The analysis was carried out in order to determine the requirements for the construction of buildings and structures requiring revision or cancellation in order to harmonize Russian regulatory technical documents in construction and industrial safety with the foreign ones. The relevance of the chosen topic is determined by its compliance with the main goals and objectives of the state policy of Russia in the field of industrial safety, aimed at consistently reducing the risk of accidents at industrial facilities and minimizing their negative consequences.
The list of the main current regulatory and technical documents of the EU countries and the USA with the main requirements for the explosion resistance of buildings and structures and the assessment of explosive impact is presented. The methodology for calculating the explosive loads on buildings and structures is briefly described. It is shown how the response of a structure to the impact of an explosion is determined within the framework of a foreign approach. The main proposals for the creation of new requirements and updating previously approved Russian codes of practice in construction have been developed and compiled. The results of the implementation of the submitted proposals will contribute to improving the efficiency of the processes of domestic industrial construction of buildings and structures, updating the regulatory and technical base, ensuring the safety of hazardous production facilities. Also, it will maintaining the compliance of buildings and structures with their functional purpose, reducing the risk of harm to health, property of individuals or legal entities, public or municipal property and the natural environment.
