지상형 탄약저장시설은 폭발시 인명과 재산의 피해가 크고 외부공격에 대하여 취약하므로 안전성, 부지확보 및 유지관리에서 유리한 지하탄약고의 개발이 절실하다. 본 연구에서는 폭발시 안전성 및 수불장비의 동선을 고려한 지하탄약고 시설배치와 방폭시설의 국내 설계사례를 소개하였다. ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$지하탄약고는 경암지역에 불연속면의 영향이 적도록 주응력방향과 거의 평행하게 3개소의 저장격실이 배치되도록 설계되었다. 또한 국방부 폭발안전기준을 만족하는 안전거리를 확보하였고, 탄약 수불장비의 동선 시뮬레이션을 통해 시설배치의 적절성을 검증하였다. 방폭시설은 임의 저장격실의 우발적 폭발시 발생하는 최대 폭풍압을 산정하여 연쇄폭발이 발생하지 않도록 인접격실의 보호를 위한 방폭문 및 방폭밸브 등을 설계하였고. 폭풍압의 저감을 위한 병목장치, 파편함정 등의 시설은 구조해석을 통해 국방부 폭발물안전기준을 만족하도록 규격을 결정하였다.

This paper presents two-step simulations to calculate the influence of blast-induced pressures on explosion-protection valves installed at the boundary between a protection facility and a tunnel entering the facility. The first step is to calculate the respective overpressure on the entrance and exit of the tunnel when an explosion occurs near the tunnel entrance and exit to approach the protection facility. Secondly, the blast pressures on the explosion-protection valves mounted to walls located near the tunnel inside approaching the protection facility are analyzed with a 0.1 ms time variation using the results obtained from the first-step calculations. The following conclusions could be derived as a results: (1) The analysis of the entrance tunnel scenario, P1, leads to the maximum overpressure of 47 kPa, approximately a half of the ambient pressure, at the inner entrance due to the effect of blast barrier. For the scenario, P2, the case not blocked by the barrier, the maximum overpressure is 628 kPa, which is relatively high, namely, 5.2 times the ambient pressure. (2) It is observed that the pressure for the entrance tunnel is effectively mitigated because the initial blast pressures are partially offset from each other according to the geometry of the entrance and a portion of the pressures is discharged to the outside.

This paper presents a study to reduce the effect of blast pressure on the blast valves installed in protection tunnels, where the shape of the tunnel entrance and the blast pocket is optimized based on the predetermined basic shape of the protective tunnels. The reliability of the numerical tunnel models was examined by performing analyses of mesh convergence and overpressure stability and with comparison to the data in blast-load design charts in UFC 3-340-02 (DoD, 2008). An optimal mesh size and a stabilized distance of overpressure were proposed, and the numerical results were validated based on the UFC data. A parametric study to reduce the blast overpressures in tunnel was conducted using the validated numerical model. Analysis was performed applying 1) the entrance slope of 90, 75, 60, and 45 degrees, 2) two blast pockets with the depth 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 times the tunnel width, 3) the three types of curved back walls of the blast pockets, and 4) two types of the upper and lower surfaces of the blast pockets to the reference tunnel model. An optimal solution by combining the analysis results of the tunnel entrance shape, the depth of the blast pockets, and the upper and lower parts of the blast pockets was provided in comparison to the reference tunnel model. The blast overpressures using the proposed tunnel shape have been reduced effectively.
