A numerical study is carried out to assess the dynamic response and damage level of one- and two-way reinforced concrete (RC) panels subjected to explosive loads by using finite element LS-DYNA software. The precision of the numerical models is validated with the previous experimental test. The calibrated models are used to conduct a series of parametric studies to evaluate the effects of panel wall dimensions, concrete strength, and steel reinforcement ratio on the blast-resistant capacity of the panel under various magnitudes of blast load. The results are used to develop pressure-impulse (P-I) diagrams corresponding to the damage levels defined according to UFC-3-340-02 manual. Empirical equations are proposed to easily construct the P-I diagrams of RC panels that can be efficiently used to assess its safety level against blast loads.

Since there is 70% of the land in South Korea is forest, tunnel constructions by blasting are common for building railways and roads. The damage to the bedrock and the development of overbreak near the face of the tunnel during the blasting directly affect the safety of the tunnel and the maintenance after the construction. Therefore, there is a need to investigate the damage zone in the bedrock after the blasting. The damage zone changes the properties of the bedrock and decreases the safety. Especially, the coefficient of permeability of the damaged bedrock increases dramatically, which is considered very important in construction. There is a lack of research on the damage that bedrock is received with respect to the amount of explosives in blasting, which is required for the design of optimum support in blast excavation that maximizes the support of the bedrock. Therefore, in this research, numerical analysis was performed based on the field experiment data in order to understand the mechanical characteristics of the bedrock after to the blast load and to analyze the damage that the bedrock receives from the blast load. In addition, a method was proposed for selecting the optimum blast pressure for train tunnel design with respect to the damage zone.

The high permeability of the gas in the molten iron of the dripping zone of the blast furnace is a major factor in achieving the stable operation of a furnace with high productivity. Basic studies of the liquid flow behavior in a packed bed are necessary to grasp the effect of various operational changes on conditions in the dropping zone. Molten iron and slag together playa critical role in the lower zone, transporting mass and energy, while impairing and redistributing the gas flow. In turn, molten iron and slag undergo physical and chemical changes, and are redistributed radially as they descend to the hearth. In this research, mathematical formulations are derived for the gas and the liquid. The solid phase is fixed with constant porosity. The information for the molten iron and slag includes the hold-up, velocity, pressure, and information related to the areas of interaction between the gas and the liquid, and the solid and the liquid. Predictable results include the velocity, pressure and temperature distribution. Additional parameters include the packed particle size and the air blast rate.

PSC 구조물에 폭발과 같은 극한하중이 짧은 시간 동안 발생하게 되면 급작스러운 파괴와 그로 인한 수많은 인명 및 재산피해를 발생시킨다. 하지만 원전격납구조물, 가스탱크와 같은 PSC 구조물의 경우 방호 및 방재개념이 포함된 구조설계가 적용되지 않은 실정이며, 특히, 구조물 내부에서 발생하는 폭발압력하중은 피해규모가 외부폭발에 비해 훨씬 크기 때문에 내부폭발하중에 대한 검증은 반드시 필요하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 원전격납구조물의 내부폭발에 대한 저항성능을 검토하기 위해 이방향 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 축소모형을 제작하였다. 내부폭발 실험은 22.68, 27.22, 31.75 kg (50, 60, 70 lbs)의 ANFO 폭약을 이용하여 시편으로부터 1,000 mm의 거리에서 폭발시켰으며, 압력하중, 처짐, 변형률, 균열형상, 긴장력 변화 등의 데이터를 분석하였다. 본 연구결과를 이용하여 원전격납구조물의 내부폭발하중 발생 시 손상도 범위 예측이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

This study proposes an empirical formulation to predict the maximum deformation of offshore blast wall structure that is subjected to impact loading caused by hydrocarbon explosion. The blast wall model is assumed to be supported by a simply-supported boundary condition and corrugated panel is modelled. In total, 1,620 cases of LS-DYNA simulations were conducted to predict the maximum deformation of blast wall, and they were then used as input data for the development of the empirical formulation by regression analysis. Stainless steel was employed as materials and the strain rate effect was also taken into account. For the development of empirical formulation, a wide range of parametric studies were conducted by considering the main design parameters for corrugated panel, such as geometric properties (corrugation angle, breadth, height and thickness) and load profiles (peak pressure and time). In the case of the blast profile, idealised triangular shape is assumed. It is expected that the obtained empirical formulation will be useful for structural designers to predict maximum deformation of blast wall installed in offshore topside structures in the early design stage.

매우 짧은 시간동안 큰 압력을 유발하는 폭발하중은 지형적인 조건 및 대기조건, 장약량과 구조물의 위치 및 형상에 따라 상이하게 발생된다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 콘크리트 구조물에 작용하는 정밀한 폭발하중의 전파해석을 위해, Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian기법을 적용한 대기 및 폭발물의 모델을 통해 복합적인 폭발파를 구현하고 구조물의 동적재료 특성을 고려하여 대기-구조물의 통합모델 해석기법을 제안하였다. 또한 대기-구조물의 통합모델 해석기법의 검증을 위하여 폭발하중을 받는 철근콘크리트 구조물의 폭발실험결과와 비교함으로써 제안된 해석기법의 타당성을 검증하였다.

An underground ammunition facility requires less quantity distances than the aboveground counterpart. However, chamber blast doors which resist the high blast-pressures are necessary for prevention of the consecutive explosions when an accident explosion occurs at any chamber. This paper aims to propose an procedure for calculation of the design loads for the chamber blast doors. Modeling considerations are drawn through analyzing the influences of the geometrical shapes and mechanical properties of rocks on the propagation of pressure wave along with the tunnels. Additionally, the design loads for the chamber blast doors in a newly-built underground ammunition facility are calculated based on the proposed procedure.

Concrete construction, one of the oldest building practices, is commonly used in all parts of the world. Concrete is the primary building material for both residential and commercial constructions. The challenge of protecting the buildings, hence nation, against the attack of terrorism has raised the importance to explore the understanding of building materials against the explosion. In this research, a security check-post (reinforced concrete frame filled with plain cement concrete) has been chosen to study the behavior of structural elements under blast loading. Eight nitroglycerines-based dynamite blasts with varying amounts of explosive charge, up to 17 kg weight has been carried out at various scale distances. Pressure and acceleration time history records are measured using blast measuring instruments. Security check post after being exposed by explosive loading are photographed to view cracking/failure patterns on the structural elements. It is noted that with the increase of quantity of explosive, the dimensions of spalling and crack patterns increase on the front panels. Simple empirical analyses are conducted using ConWep and other design manuals such as UFC 3-340-02 (2008) and AASTP-1 (2010) for the purpose of comparison of blast parameters with the experimental records. The results of experimental workings are also compared with earlier researchers to check the compatibility of developed equations. It is believed that the current study presents the simple and preliminary procedure for calculating the air blast and ground shock parameters on the structures exposed to blast explosion.

최근 전 세계적으로 발생하고 있는 각종 사고 및 테러공격 등으로 인한 폭발, 충돌, 화재 사고가 빈번하게 발생하고 있으며, 특히, 2001년 미국 세계무역센터와 펜타곤에 발생한 9.11 테러사건 이후 사회적인 안전 불감증이 더욱 고조되고 있다. 또한, 2011년 일본 후쿠시마 원전사고로 인한 원전 격납건물 손상 시 발생할 수 있는 물리적, 환경적 위험성에 대한 사회적 불안감이 날로 커짐에 따라 원전격납건물, 가스탱크 등에 널리 사용되는 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 구조물에 대한 극한하중 연구가 다양하게 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 2방향 비부착 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 패널 부재의 폭발저항성능을 분석하기 위하여 $1,400{\times}1,000{\times}300mm$의 철근콘크리트(RC), 프리스트레스 텐던으로만 보강된 콘크리트(PSC), 프리스트레스 텐던과 철근으로 보강된 콘크리트(PSRC) 시편을 제작하였다. 폭발하중은 ANFO 55 lbs 의 장약량을 1.0 m 이격거리로 적용하였으며, 측정하고자 하는 데이터는 초기 압력폭발하중 뿐 아니라, 반사압력, 충격량, 중앙부의 처짐, 가속도, 철근 및 콘크리트, 텐던의 변형률을 측정하여 분석하였다. 본 연구는 향후 국내외 프리스트레스트 콘크리트에 대한 방호설계 및 폭발해석 등 관련 연구분야의 중요한 자료가 될 것이라 판단된다.
