Research Activities
(Keywords - Brief Description)
Fire Safety Engineering The research analyses fire design settings according to Fire Safety Engineering (FSE) for the simulation of fire in civil and industrial activities and compares these simulations developed using natural and analytic fire curves. This analysis is focused to determining an original "likely fire model" that guarantees a greater adherence of the virtualized phenomenon with respect to the potential event. The analytic curve, adopted in order to verify the structural strength, in the beginning phases of fire produces fields of temperature and toxic concentrations lower than those obtained by simulation of the Likely Fire Curve. The assumption of the Likely Fire Curve model safeguards exposed people during self-rescue and emergency procedure. The main result shows that the safety criterion, implicitly included in the analytical fire curves - normally used for fire resistance - doesn't have the same applicability of a performance based approach on safety evaluation involving people. The Likely Fire Curve assumption involves a thermo-chemical stress more relevant to assessing the safety of exposed people (see LOMBARDI, M et al. - 2018. Fire design in safety engineering: likely fire curve for people’s safety. WIT Transactions on The Built Environment, 174, 119-130).
Geostatistical analysis and modeling A natural phenomenon, defined as geo-stochastic process, is characterized by interacting variables leading to identifying the most critical areas affected by instability. By means of a sensitivity analysis of the local variability as well as a reliability assessment of the time-based scenarios, an improvement of the forecasting content can be obtained. Moreover, the phenomenological characterization allows to optimize the attribution of the levels of resilience to the territory involved, supporting decision-making process for intervention priorities as well as the effective allocation of the available resources in social, environmental and economic contexts. (see Lombardi, M., Cardarilli, M., & Raspa, G. - 2017. Spatial variability analysis of soil strength to slope stability assessment. Geomechanics and Engineering, 12(3), 483-503).
Human Factor The evaluation of human behavior in the risk model involves the definition of the function of reliability (or failure) of "human component" since the activities/procedures of a complex system involve a high probability of human error. The research analyzes a series of control checks for back analysis testing of accident occurrences and shows the opportunity to perform quantitative risk analysis comparing alternative designs of complex system by analogical analysis methods. In this analysis the evaluation of human error, according to combined techniques of Ishikawa’s theory and Quality Function Deployment is relevant in order to verify the effectiveness and safety of good practice usually employed (see LOMBARDI, M., & FARGNOLI, M. - 2018. Prioritization Of Hazards By Means Of A Qfd-Based Procedure. Safety and Security Studies, 163).
RAMS Approach Quantitative risk assessment adopted in the industrial activities refers the RAMS approach, according to EN 50126, to define the failure of complex system. Starting from the probability of failure follows the evaluation of the failure consequence, the accident occurrence and finally, the analysis of the achievable accident scenarios to quantify the damage. In this approach, the central idea is the failure occurrence, i.e., the incorrect performance of a function by a system component (see Lombardi, M., Rossi, G. - 2014. The Management of Uncertainty: model for evaluation of human error probability in railway system. American journal of applied sciences, 11(3), 381).
Risk Analysis Risk analysis is an assessment tool developed to analyze the safety of potentially dangerous industrial processes or potentially dangerous industrial plants. The application of risk analysis should help to suggest a proactive safety strategy by evaluating potential risks. This safety strategy was to replace merely experience-based concepts learned from incidents (such as near miss) or accidents already happened. Risk analysis deals with potential negative consequences of events that could occur when considering a technical system in a social context. The only option in such a situation is to develop a representative model of the risks associated to the system in question. As there exists an unlimited number of possibilities of how dangerous effects may develop it is impossible to take all possible situations into account; therefore the only investigation is restricted to a limited number of selected representative scenarios. It should always be kept in mind that risk analysis is a model relying on preconditions and assumptions and is not a copy of reality. (see Guarascio, M., Lombardi, M., Rossi, G., & Sciarra, G. - 2007. Risk analysis and acceptability criteria. WIT Transactions on the Built Environment, 94).
Road and Rail Safety World Road Association – PIARC and several European research projects, have encouraged a reflection on risk analysis methods, acceptance criteria and safety practices applied to the road system. The main goal of this research activity is the definition of best practice for safety analysis and management applied to network TERN (Trans European Road Network). Quantitative Risk Analysis (QRA) provides much information on safety management, but the potential fragility of the method, stochastic uncertainties (both parameters and models), and ethical aspect of acceptability criteria should be adequately analyzed. This research activity focuses on all these aspects according to assess the reliability of QRA in order to investigate modeling and statistical errors and statistical consistency of Risk Indicators of QRA (see Guarascio, M., Lombardi, M., Rossi, G., & Sciarra, G. – 2009. Risk analysis and reliability based design in tunnel fire safety WIT Transactions on the Built Environment).
Occupational Safety The goal of this research is the analysis of statistical evidence between the size of organizational well-being, those of work - related stress according with HSE model Management Standards, and the propensity to accidents. Specially, the research aims to verify the original hypothesis of a statistically significant relationship between the increase of organizational well-being and resilience to risk, both about the single worker that about the working group, as measured by statistical indicators of organizational well-being and effective injury rate and in order to recognize, by analysis of familiarity (cluster analysis), factors of hazard and ways of injury most sensitive to increase of organizational well-being. Nowadays the development of techniques of psychosocial intervention for reducing residual risk, in support of the improvements in the safety design, are really common. Rarely the impact and effectiveness of these interventions, which should improve safety-oriented performance of individual worker and groups, were evaluated. The first objective is a measure of the effectiveness and efficiency of the organizational well-being and the safety awareness in the work. The research also aims to investigate the statistical relationships between the dimensions of organizational well-being, those of work-related stress and quantitative indicators of accidents, comparing, by means the ANOVA model, the variables obtained from an available sample with those of a check sample, by measuring the "pre and post" performance indicators. The study verifies (by means of exploratory analysis) a method of dynamic graphical investigation of the timing-evolution of accident, by using techniques of cluster analysis and graphical algebra (bow- tie diagram) in order to identify the areas of hazard where the intervention can produce some significant changes (see Lombardi, M., & Rossi, G. - 2013. Cluster analysis of fatal accidents series in the Infor. MO database: analysis, evidence and research perspectives. International journal of safety and security engineering, 3(4), 317-331).
