In this paper, the blast resisting performance of partially reinforced CFT columns was compared with the normal CFT columns to evaluate the effect of reinforcing with steel plates. Autodyn which is a specialized hydro-code for analysis of explosion and impact was used to simulate the structural behavior of the CFT columns under the blast loadings. The interaction between concrete and surrounding steel plates was modeled with friction and join option to represent the realistic damage of columns. According to the analysis, the partially reinforced CFT column showed enhanced blast resisting performance than the normal CFT columns. Also the improvement of blast resisting performance was depended on the height of reinforcing steel plates.

증기폭발현상에 대한 기존의 연구내용들이 개괄적으로 소개되었다. 지난 30여년간 대규모 및 소규모 증기폭발에 대해 수많은 이론 및 실험적 연구가 진행되어 왔으나 아직 많은 과제들이 미해결의 상태로 남아 있다. 이들은 (1) 연료-냉각수 접촉양식의 영향 (2) 초기 혼합과정에 대한 에너지 전달 및 유동해석 (3) 연료파괴 과정에 대한 정량적 해석 (4) 폭발과정의 전파에 대한 제인자의 영향 (5) 팽창과정 중 슬러그(slug)의 영향 등이며 현상 자체의 난이성과 위 험성에 비추어 볼 때 해석에 많은 문제점을 안고 있다. 그러나 과학적인 호기심과 더불어 산 업재해 방지 및 현상의 생산적 이용이라는 최종목표에 도달하기 위해서는 체계적으로 집중적인 연구가 꾸준히 계속되어야 할 것이다.

Consideration on the explosion resistant design of infrastructure has increased in the recent years. The explosion load is caused by gas explosion or bomb blast. In this study an analytical model is developed, whereby the tunnel structure is divided in several elements that are schematized as single degree of freedom mass-spring-dashpot systems on gas explosion. Using this simple model a sensitivity analysis has been carried out on tunnel structure design parameters such as explosive peak pressure, duration of the load, thickness of structure, burial depth. Finite element method was used to investigate the dynamic response and plastic zone of a tunnel under gas explosion. And it was found from the comparison of the analysis results that there are slight differences in the response of the intermediate wall between the single degree of freedom mass-spring-dashpot model and FEM.

The present work has been developed the interpretation processor including the behavior of material failure and the separation phenomena under transient dynamic loading (the operation of explosive bolt) using AUTODYN V4.3, SoildWork 2003 and TrueGrid V2.1 programs. It has been demonstrated that the interpretation in ridge-cut explosive bolt under dynamic loading condition should be necessary to the appropriate failure model and the basic stress of bolt failure is the principal stress. The use of this interpretation processor developing the present work could be extensively helped to design the shape and the amount of explosives in the explosive bolt having a complex geometry. It is also proved that the interpretation processor approach is an accurate and effective analysis technique to evaluate the separation mechanism in explosive bolts.

It has been suggested that buildings designed for strong ground motions will also have improved resistance to air blast loads. As an initial attempt to quantify this behavior, the responses of a ten story steel building, designed for the 1994 building code, with lateral resistance provided by perimeter moment frames, is considered. An analytical model of the building is developed and the magnitude and distribution of blast loads on the structure are estimated using available computer software that is based on empirical methods. To obtain the relationship between pressure, time duration, and standoff distance, these programs are used to obtain an accurate model of the air blast loading. A hemispherical surface burst for various explosive weights and standoff distances is considered for generating the air blast loading and determining the structural response. Linear and nonlinear analyses are conducted for these loadings. Air blast demands on the structure are compared to current seismic guidelines. These studies present the displacement responses, story drifts, demand/capacity ratio and inelastic demands for this structure.

A mathematical model, GUNBLAST, of blast waves emitted from a gun muzzle is established, and structural response analyses for the blast load are performed. The blast wave can be divided into two kinds of waves, free field and reflected blast waves. In this research, the free field blast wave model is established by the use of a scaling approach, and the reflected blast wave is calculated by using the oblique shock theory and computational fluid dynamic calculation. GUNBLAST is applied to two kinds of structural models. To investigate the effect of the muzzle distance from a structural surface, the blast waves on a plate for various muzzle distances are compared to uniform loads. Moreover, the transient response analysis of an aircraft wing model with a 12.7mm gun is carried out by using MSC/NASTRAN. From the results, it can be shown that the blast wave can cause broad random vibration and high frequency damage to equipments mounted in the aircraft.

This study aims to evaluate the blast performance of shear and flexure failure modes of reinforced concrete columns using finite-element analyses. To accomplish this goal, finite-element models of flexure- and shear-governed columns were developed and validated using previous experimental results. A blast simulation model was developed using a coupling-modeling method, and the modeling method was applied to the validated-column models. Blast responses were obtained for various blast loading scenarios, and the blast performance was determined using limits based on ductility and axial loading capacity.

A basic assessment of techniques to mitigate the risk of blast shock waves from proximity explosions was conducted. Common existing techniques include using mitigant materials to form barriers around the explosive or in the direction of propagation of the shock wave. Various explosive energy dissipation mechanisms have been proposed, and research on blast shock wave mitigation utilizing impedance differences has drawn considerable interest. In this study, shear thickening fluid (STF) was applied as a blast mitigation material to evaluate the effectiveness of STF mitigation material on explosion shock wave mitigation through explosion experiments and numerical analysis. As a result, the effectiveness of the STF mitigant material in reducing the explosion shock pressure was verified.

Using the two-dimensional hydrocode HI-DYNA2D, a calculation on the explosive selding of dissimilar plates(Steel Titanium) was made for the pressure, temperature, velocity and impact ingles adjacent to the collision point during the welding process. The FEM result indicates that optimal stand-off distance of initially parallel set-up is 3-5mm for various values of the explosive thickness. The calculation shows that when the explosive thickness is around 30mm, the temperature of welding point which is strongly related to the metallic jet formation is 2, 000-3, 500K for the given stand-off distance.
