본 연구는 새로운 차체를 이용 구급자동차 내부 공간의 디자인 작업에 따른 차량 내부의 구조해석을 수행한 결과로서, 해외 기준 및 디자인된 구급자동차를 바탕으로 3D 설계 작업을 수행하였다. 또한, 차체 및 구급자동차 내부에 대하여 10G의 충격을 가한 후 이에 따른 구조해석 결과를 살펴보았다. 이때 부품의 자중과 구성품의 무게를 고려하여 유럽의 EN 규정에 따라 해석을 수행하였다. 구조해석 결과, 차량 내부의 프레임과 각종 파이프로 구성되어진 핸드레일은 비교적 큰 응력의 하중은 받지 않았으나 내장 판넬과 캐비넷류는 50MPa 이상의 큰 응력을 받는 것으로 해석되었다. 이에 따른 보강 설계를 실시하는 경우에는 두께 및 형상의 수정이 필요하다는 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 이와 같은 연구 결과를 바탕으로 국내 구급자동차를 이용하는 구급대원 및 차량내부의 환자에게 보다 안전한 차량을 제작하는 기초자료가 될 수 있을 것이라 기대된다.

Three-dimensional thermal and mechanical coupled finite element models are proposed to study the structural behaviours of shear connectors under fire. Concrete slabs, steel beams and shear connectors are modelled with eight-noded solid elements, and profiled steel deckings are modelled with eight-noded shell elements. Thermal, mechanical and geometrical nonlinearities are incorporated into the models. With the proper incorporation of thermal and mechanical contacts among steel beams, shear connectors, steel deckings and concrete slabs, both of the models are verified to be accurate after the validation against a series of push-out tests in the room temperature or under the standard fire. Various thermal and mechanical responses are also extracted and observed in details from the results of the numerical analyses, which gives a better understanding of the structural behavior of shear connectors under elevated temperatures.

Explosions and fires on offshore drilling units and process plants, which cause loss of life and environmental damage, have been studied extensively. However, research on drilling units increased only after the 2010 Deepwater Horizon accident in the Gulf of Mexico. A major reason for explosions and fires on a drilling unit is blowout, which is caused by a failure to control the high temperatures and pressures upstream of the offshore underwater well. The area susceptible to explosion and fire due to blowout is the drill floor, which supports the main drilling system. Structural instability and collapse of the drill floor can threaten the structural integrity of the entire unit. This study simulates the behavior of fire subsequent to blowout and assesses the thermal load. A heat transfer structure analysis of the drill floor was carried out using the assessed thermal load, and the risk was noted. In order to maintain the structural integrity of the drill floor, passive fire protection of certain areas was recommended.

본 논문에서는 유한요소해석 프로그램 Abaqus를 이용하여 고온과 편심 축하중을 받는 세장한 철근 콘크리트 기둥의 유한요소해석 절차를 제시하고 해석 결과를 비교·분석하였다. 기둥에 축하중과 화재가 가해지는 상황을 해석에 반영하기 위해 Abaqus에서 제공하는 순차 결합 열-응력 해석을 사용하였다. 우선 콘크리트 단면에 대한 열전달 해석을 수행하여 검증한 뒤, 이를 3차원 요소로 확장하고 구조해석과 결합하여 해석을 수행하였다. 해석 과정에서 수렴성 및 정확성에 영향을 미치는 인장 증강 효과와 초기 불완전성을 고려하여 모델링하였다. 해석 결과는 74개 실험 데이터와 비교하였으며, 내화시간을 기준으로 평균 6%의 오차를 나타냄에 따라 유한요소해석을 통해 철근콘크리트 기둥의 내화성능을 예측할 수 있게 되었다.

최근 건설현장은 인건비 상승, 중대재해처벌법 등으로 인한 건설 현장 여건의 변화로 탈현장 여건으로 프리캐스트 부재 생산에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 특히, 프리캐스트 프리스트레스트 중공슬래브는 단면 내 중공형상을 두어, 중량감소 및 강연선을 통한 처짐 제어 등으로 구조성능은 확보하고 있으나, 현재 내화 성능 개선에 대한 미비한 연구 뿐만 아니라, 기업들의 근거 없는 당연내화구조 기준을 적용함에 내화성능 확보에 대한 시급성이 대두되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 기존 중공 슬래브와 비교하여 동등이상 구조성능, 경제성을 갖기 위하여 슬래브단면 내 중공 형상 최적화를 통해 단면 내 콘크리트 충진률 감소 및 상하부 플랜지 형상 개선으로 내화단면을 개발하였다. 이를 적용한 PC 중공 슬래브에 대하여 단면두께를 변수로 하여 2시간 내화시험을 진행하여, 실험결과 내화 성능(하중지지력, 차열성, 차염성)을 확보 하였다. 실험 결과 기반으로, 수치해석 시뮬레이션을 통해 내화모델링을 정립하여, 추후 단면형상 변경에 따라 내화 해석 예측이 가능한 것으로 판단된다.

Structures submitted to Fire-After-Earthquake loading situations, are first experiencing inelastic deformations due to the seismic action and are then submitted to the thermal loading. This means that in the case of steel framed structures, at the starting point of the fire, plastic hinges have already been formed at the ends of the beams. The basic objective of this paper is the evaluation of the rotational capacity of steel I-section beams damaged due to prior earthquake loading, at increased temperatures. The study is conducted numerically and three-dimensional models are used in order to capture accurately the nonlinear behaviour of the steel beams. Different levels of earthquake-induced damage are examined in order to study the effect of the initial state of damage to the temperature-evolution of the rotational capacity. The study starts with the reference case where the beam is undamaged and in the sequel cyclic loading patterns are taken into account, which represent earthquakes loads of increasing magnitude. Additionally, the study extends to the evaluation of the ultimate plastic rotation of the steel beams which corresponds to the point where the rotational capacity of the beam is exhausted. The aforementioned value of rotation can be used as a criterion for the determination of the fire-resistance time of the structure in case of Fire-After-Earthquake situations.

This paper presents a numerical method for evaluating fire performance of prestressed concrete (PC) T shaped bridge girders under combined effect of structural loading and hydrocarbon fire exposure conditions. A numerical model, developed using the computer program ANSYS, is employed to investigate fire response of PC T shaped bridge girders by taking into consideration structural inherent parameters, namely; arrangement of prestressing strands with in the girder section, thickness of concrete cover over prestressing strands, effective degree of prestress and content of prestressing strands. Then, a sequential thermo-mechanical analysis is performed to predict cross sectional temperature followed by mechanical response of T shaped bridge girders. The validity of the numerical model is established by comparing temperatures, deflections and failure time generated from fire tests. Through numerical studies, it is shown that thickness of concrete cover and arrangement of prestressing strands in girder section have significant influence on the fire resistance of PC T shaped bridge girders. Increase in effective degree of prestress in strands with triangular shaped layout and content in prestressing strands can slow down the progression of deflections in PC T shaped bridge girder towards the final stages of fire exposure, to thereby preventing sudden collapse of the girder. Rate of deflection based failure criterion governs failure in PC T shaped bridge girders under most hydrocarbon fire exposure conditions. Structural inherent parameters incorporated into sectional configuration can significantly enhance fire resistance of PC bridge girders; thus mitigating fire induced collapse of these bridge girders.

Heat transfer analysis and thermal stress analysis for the concrete bridge was performed in order to investigate the damage of the concrete bridge by the fire of the vehicle. Changes in material properties, such as thermal conductivity, specific heat, density, elasticity, caused by temperature rise were considered. Heat transfer analysis and thermal stress analysis were performed according to the various location of the fire by ABAQUS. From the comparison of the numerical results, the degree of structural damage for the concrete bridge was investigated and considerations for the design of a concrete bridge against fire were identified.

Buckling Restrained Braces (BRB) have been widely used in the construction industry as they utilize the most desirable properties of both constituent materials, i.e., steel and concrete. They present excellent structural qualities such as high load bearing capacity, ductility, energy-absorption capability and good structural fire behaviour. The effects of size and type of filler material in the existed gap at the steel core-concrete interface as well as the element's cross sectional shape, on BRB's fire resistance capacity was investigated in this paper. A nonlinear sequentially-coupled thermal-stress three-dimensional model was presented and validated by experimental results. Variation of the samples was described by three groups containing, the steel cores with the same cross section areas and equal yield strength but different materials (metal and concrete) and sizes for the gap. Responses in terms of temperature distribution, critical temperature, heating elapsed time and contraction level of BRB element were examined. The study showed that the superior fire performance of BRB was obtained by altering the filler material in the gap from metal to concrete as well as by increasing the size of the gap. Also, cylindrical BRB performed better under fire conditions compared to the rectangular cross section.

방화구획 내 벽체에는 콘크리트, 조립식 패널, 건식벽체 등을 사용한 내화구조가 주로 적용되고 있으나 근래에 들어 시야 확보 및 미적 관점에 대한 관심이 증가하여 유리로 구성된 벽체의 수요가 발생하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 차열 유리를 적용한 스틸 내화벽체에 관한 것으로써 내부 방화구획에 적용 가능한 60분 내화벽체와 외부 벽체 및 커튼월에 적용 가능한 90분 내화벽체에 대하여 내화시험 및 성능분석을 수행하였다. 시험 결과, 각 시험체의 요구 내화성능을 충족하는 것으로 나타났으며, 추가적으로 유한요소해석을 통한 유리벽체의 내화성능을 평가하였으며 그 결과 1차적으로 시험체의 내화성능을 예측하는 것이 가능한 것으로 판단되었다.
