Recently, the number of structure demolitions has increased in both civil and architecture fields due to various reasons such as redevelopment of a city, utilization of sites and restoration of deteriorated structures. In the past, domestic shell structures had been constructed with brick masonry and they were not high. Therefore, their demolition had been executed with ease. Recently, however, taller reinforced concrete shell structures have become a target for the destruction. Under these circumstances, how to efficiently demolish a structure and how to minimize effects of the destruction on environment including vibration and noise have become a main issue. One of the possible solutions is the explosive demolition. In this study, a case of explosives demolition of the stack, which is located in Jeju Thermal Power Plant in Republic of Korea and is 70 m tall, is addressed. In order to fall down the structure against the desired direction, 13.5 kg dynamite and 100 electric detonators were used.

기존 건축물은 현행 소방법 및 건축법을 소급해 적용할 수 없다는 이유로 비상용승강기와 제연설비가 설치되어 있지 않는 경우가 상당수 존재한다. 이렇듯 화재에 취약할 수밖에 없는 기존 건축물에서 화재가 발생했을 때 소방대 진입 및 구조활동이 가능한 통로를 확보하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구는 이러한 관점에서 기존 건축물의 화재안전성능 개선에 따른 부담을 최소화하는 방안으로 승강로 급기가압 방식을 제시한다. 먼저, 수직통로를 통한 연기 확산에 무방비 상태인 기존의 고층 건축물의 문제점 및 화재사례를 분석하고, 국내외 비상용승강기 및 제연설비 관련 법규 현황을 비교분석하였다. 그리고 NIST의 Contam을 이용한 시뮬레이션을 통하여 승강로 급기가압 전과 후의 층별 차압을 비교함으로써 승강로 가압이 연돌효과에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.

Wind-induced vibration is a phenomenon that a struture is oscillated due to wind force such as buffeting, vortex shedding wake and etc., which is one of important characteristics to be considered for design in case that stack has significant slenderness ratio or low natural frequency. International design standards of stack define several criteria for evaluating the suitability of stack design, which describe the required design considerations for each range of design parameters and provide the instruction to verify the stack design against wind-induced vibration simply. However, there is a limitation that they cannot provide quantitative information in case code requirement cannot be satisfied due to constraints of plant space or economical design. In order to overcome the limiation of code, integrated numerical analysis of computational fluid dynamics, harmonic analysis and finite element analysis were proposed to investigate wind-induced vibration for multiple stacks in actual plant. Simulated results of mutual wake interference effect between adjacent stacks were evaluated and compared to the criteria in international standards.
