What should be written on civil engineering design in the special section on hazardous chemical safety design?

First is the \"List of Buildings,\" which requires providing information on various aspects such as the structure, floor area, number of floors, building height, classification of fire risk, fire resistance rating, seismic design category, as well as evacuation routes and safety exits. These were not determined when drafting the special sections; they are all things that must be specified in the design phase. How can design and the preparation of special sections be separated? Take the fire hazard categories, for example: some of them are easy to determine, as the standards are clear and cannot be changed by anyone; they are determined straightforwardly. Others, which are mixtures, present more difficulties. Even so, it is necessary to clarify them before engineering design. For some, it is necessary to choose the higher option rather than the lower one, but for others it is the other way around; however, corresponding constraints must be met. In other words, within the limits permitted by standards, design standards are lowered as much as possible in order to achieve greater benefits. Some people might say, “Why stick to the standard minimum?” “It’s irresponsible of you to act like this.” This standard represents the minimum requirement; one should do better. The logic is that, if financially feasible, this is what should be done. Then, there is an introduction to measures such as fire prevention, explosion prevention, blast resistance, explosion relief, corrosion prevention, and fire protection. Is it just a table ahead, or is a description of fire protection measures for buildings and structures also required? What is needed depends on the specific conditions of the materials. For example, in buildings where hydrofluoric acid is used, it seems to be extremely important; yet fire prevention measures are not the most crucial safety features, as hydrofluoric acid is non-flammable. But in the case of hydrogen, fire and explosion prevention are extremely important; blast venting may also be necessary, along with specifying the area for such venting. On the other hand, no special efforts are required for corrosion protection. If explosives are involved, it’s not necessarily about venting explosions; rather, explosion resistance is required, and this depends on the specific properties of the materials involved. Of course, an introduction is just that – an introduction. After all, a special report is a document meant for review; it’s sufficient to clearly explain the methods used. Can work begin right away? It’s obviously impossible; construction requires construction drawings. It’s not necessarily easy to determine exactly how much should be written; if the reviewing experts require a more detailed explanation, then a more thorough description is needed. Of course, this part of the standards also includes aspects related to heating, ventilation, and exhaust – which is another specialized field.
