The purpose of this study is to present data for the reusing, rehabilitation and estimation of safety of RC structure damaged by fire, and for the prevention of explosive spatting by investigation the properties of explosive spalling, compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity according to kinds of fine aggregate, admixture and water-cement ratios. In explosive spalling properties with kinds of aggregate, explosive spalling does not appear or little at surface in the case of used sea sand, but the case of using recycled sand or crushed sand is worse and worse. Property with the kind of admixture does not appear specially. And high strength concrete with W/C 30.5% was taken spalling, but 55% does not appear. It is found that residual compressive strength after exposed at high temperature showed 45％ in W/C 55%, and 64％ in W/C 30.5％ of its original strength averagely. Ultrasonic pulse velocity is different with kinds of aggregate. W/C. and heating time. When 3 month age after heating ultrasonic pulse velocity is recovered abut 1.3％～8.4％ of its 1 month age after heating.

Normally, Structural light-weight aggregate concrete(LWC) has been main used in high rise building with the object of wight loss. In spite of LWC have the advantage of light-weight, limit the use of strength restrictions by reason that explosive spalling in fire. Especially, LWC is occurred serious fire performance deterioration by explosive spalling. Thus, this study is concerned with fire performance of LWC for the purpose of using PP fibers prevent to explosive spalling. From the experimental test result, LWC is happened explosive spalling.

For the facility using explosive gas, it is very important to use anti-explosive structure. Therefore, using FRC of high stiffness should be used, but the research on actual application under the construction conditions is not sufficient. Hence, in this research, based on the case study on application of FRC for anti-explosive structure, the strength characteristics of FRC with combined fibers were evaluated comparing between before and after the pumping.

Nowadays, the use of high strength concrete has become increasingly popular. Thus, the theory of this study gives a definition of HSC mechanism through study factors of spalling occurrence of HSC and solutions of failure mechanism. During the fire goes on, building structure using HSC causes explosive spalling and finally it gets to the breaking of the structure down. As a result of this failure mechanism, it remains to be investigated to prevent from explosive spalling of HSC and needs to provide basic problems of HSC at high temperature.

It is necessary to develop a technology for effectively controling explosive spalling of high strength concrete caused increasing construction of high rise building and putting up the fireproof standard of high strength concrete by MLTM (Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs). Accordingly, it was investigated basic properties such as slump, air content and compressive strength, and fire resistance properties of high strength concrete using polypropylene fiber for field application as a countermeasure for explosive spalling of concrete on fire in this study, As a test result, it was confirmed that PP fiber is available as fire resistance method of high strength concrete.

A metallic bond of great strength for the same or dissimilar metals can be produced by the explosive welding. The formation of a metallic jet at the interface between the two impacting plates has been simulated using the numerical hydrocode DYNA2D. The mechanism of explosive welding for the wave formation is also analyzed by the computer simulation technique. The microscopic with the experimentally observed behaviour of the explosive welding. The computer simulations of the explosive welding process have proven especially useful for analyzing the mechanism of metallic bones.

Characteristics of the interface between tube and tube sheet which were formed by explosive expansion and roll expansion, have been studied in the research. The results are as follows: Optimum amounts of explosives for the expansion of Alloy 600 (19.05mm and 15.88mm) were found to be RDX 3.5-8.5g/m. Because explosive expansion caused les strain hardening and increased bounding strength, characteristics of the explosively expanded were better than those of mechanically expanded. As the transition region of the explosive expansion is inactive, the resistance to the stress corrosion cracking increases by 30∼40% compared to the roll and hydraulic expansion.

To improve fire-resistance of a high strength concrete against explosive spalling under elevated temperature, fibers can be mixed with concrete to provide flow paths of evaporated water within concrete to the free surface. The fiber-mix concrete approach is effective against explosive spalling when the flow path generated from melting fibers at the elevated temperature is interconnected to transport high pressurized evaporated water from the inside concrete to the free surface. The percolation theory can identify the connectivity of the fibers and provide an estimate of the fire-resistance of concrete by investigating layout of fibers. In this study, the correlation between percolation theory and explosive spalling of fiber-mixed high strength concrete is analyzed and the connectivity of the fiber in concrete is stereologically investigated by using virtual specimens of fiber-mixed high strength concrete.

We investigate the interaction between the propagation of detonation and inserted gaps in the high explosive. The Eulerian-based multi-material simulation code validated through comparison with experimental results was used. A series of gap materials is used to understand the detonation propagation characteristic in the presence of multiple gaps.

Explosive bolts are one of pyrotechnic release devices, which are highly reliable and efficient for a built-in release. Among them, ridge-cut explosive bolts which utilize shock wave generated by detonation to separate bolt body produce minimal fragments, little swelling and clean breaks. In this study, separation phenomena of ridge-cut explosive bolts or ridge-cut mechanism are computationally analyzed using Hydrocodes. To analyze separation mechanism of ridge-cut explosive bolts, fluid-structure interactions with complex material modeling are essential. For modeling of high explosives (RDX and PETN), Euler elements with Jones-Wilkins-Lee E.O.S. are utilized. For Lagrange elements of bolt body structures, shock E.O.S., Johnson-Cook strength model, and principal stress failure criteria are used. From the computational analysis of the author's explosive bolt model, computational analysis framework is verified and perfected with tuned failure criteria. Practical design improvements are also suggested based on a parametric study. Some design parameters, such as explosive weights, ridge angle, and ridge position, are chosen that might affect the separation reliability; and analysis is carried out for several designs. The results of this study provide useful information to avoid unnecessary separation experiments related with design parameters.
