본 연구에서는 해석적 방법을 이용하여 연속폭발 하중을 받는 구조물의 거동을 분석하였다. 구조물은 양단이 고정된 축소형 일방향 철근콘크리트 슬래브를 사용하였으며, 유한요소 해석을 위해서 상용 소프트웨어인 LS-DYNA를 사용하였다. 누적피해 평가를 위한 해석을 수행하기에 앞서, 해석 모델의 검증을 위해 일방향 철근콘크리트 슬래브의 단일폭발 실험을 수행하였다. 누적피해 해석에서는 이상적인 연속폭발 하중이 구조물에 적용되고, 최대변위를 기준으로 누적 피해평가를 수행하였다. 해석 결과로부터, 연속폭발 하중을 받는 철근콘크리트 슬래브의 최대 누적변위는 위험한 피해 한계까지 일정하게 증가하는 경향을 보였다.

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.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of perfluorobutane microbubbles (Sonazoid^®, GE Healthcare) on steam popping during radiofrequency (RF) ablation for treating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and to assess whether popping affects treatment outcomes. Materials and Methods: The institutional review board approved this retrospective study, which included 90 consecutive patients with single HCC, who received percutaneous RF ablation as the first-line treatment. The patients were divided into two groups, based on the presence or absence of the popping phenomenon, which was defined as an audible sound with a simultaneous sudden explosion within the ablation zone as detected via ultrasonography during the procedure. The factors contributing to the popping phenomenon were identified using multivariable logistic regression analysis. Local tumor progression (LTP) and disease-free survival (DFS) were assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method with the log-rank test for performing comparisons between the two groups. Results: The overall incidence of the popping phenomenon was 25.8% (24/93). Sonazoid^® was used in 1 patient (4.2%) in the popping group (n = 24), while it was used in 15 patients (21.7%) in the non-popping group (n = 69). Multivariable analysis revealed that the use of Sonazoid^® was the only significant factor for absence of the popping phenomenon (odds ratio = 0.10, p = 0.048). There were no significant differences in cumulative LTP and DFS between the two groups (p = 0.479 and p = 0.424, respectively). Conclusion: The use of Sonazoid^® has a suppressive effect on the popping phenomenon during RF ablation in patients with HCC. However, the presence of the popping phenomenon may not affect clinical outcomes.
