The present study aims to present a comprehensive understanding of the performance of neighboring multi-story buildings with different dynamic characteristics under blast loads. Two different scenarios are simulated in terms of explosion locations with respect to both buildings. To investigate the effect of interaction between the neighboring buildings in terms of the induced responses, the separation gap is set to be sufficiently small to ensure collisions between stories. An adequately large separation gap is set between the buildings to explore responses without collisions under the applied blast loads. Several blast loads with different peak pressure intensities are employed to perform the dynamic analysis. The finite-element toolbox Computer Aided Learning of the Finite-Element Method (CALFEM) is used to develop a MATLAB code to perform the simulation analysis. The dynamic responses obtained in the scenarios considered herein are presented comparatively. It is found that the obtained stories' responses are governed mainly by the location and intensity of the applied blast loads, separation distances, and flexibility of the attacked structures. Moreover, explosions near a light and flexible building may lead to a significant decrease in blast resistance because explosions severely influence the dynamic responses of the building's stories.

This paper aims to develop numerical models for seismically-deficient reinforced concrete columns retrofitted using a fiber-reinforced polymer jacketing system under blast loading scenarios. To accomplish the research goal, a coupling model reproducing blast loads was developed and implemented to the column model. The column model was validated with a past experimental study, and the blast responses were compared to the numerical responses produced by past researchers. The validated modeling method was implemented to the non-retrofitted and retrofitted column models to estimate the effectiveness of the retrofit system. Based on the numerical responses, the retrofit system can significantly reduce the peak dynamic responses under a given blast loading scenario.

발하중을 받는 구조물의 거동을 연구하기 위해서는 폭발물에 의한 하중을 정확히 산정하는 것이 중요하며 실내폭발의 폭발하중의 경우에는 특히 그러하다. 반사효과를 포함하는 실내폭발의 폭발하중 산정방법으로는 전산유체역학을 기반으로 한 수치해석적 방법이 비교적 정확한 폭발하중을 산정할 수 있다고 알려져 있다. 하지만 수치해석적 방법은 해석모델링이 어렵고 해석에 많은 시간이 소요되는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실내폭발에서 고려되어야 하는 여러 효과 중 대표적인 반사효과를 간단히 반영할 수 있는 해석적 폭발하중 산정방법을 연구하였다. 대상 구조물은 큰 인명피해와 연쇄붕괴를 일으킬 수 있는 실내폭발하중을 받는 주거시설의 슬래브로 설정하였다. 우선 수치해석적 방법을 이용해 실내폭발 효과와 탄성체로 가정한 슬래브의 최대 처짐을 알아보고, 이를 본 연구에서 제안하는 해석적 방법과 비교를 하였다. 제안된 해석적 방법에서는 보 이론을 적용한 반사효과의 가중치를 결정함으로써 보다 정확한 폭발하중 산정방법이 되도록 하였다.

본 논문은 폭발하중을 받는 네 가지 부재의 거동을 해석하여 프리스트레스의 폭발에 대한 저항 효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 프리스트레스를 도입한 구조물 사용이 증가하고 있지만 그에 관한 방폭 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 콘크리트 패널, 철근 콘크리트 패널, 프리스트레스를 도입한 콘크리트 패널, 프리스트레스를 도입한 철근 콘크리트 패널을 변수로 TNT 500Kg을 이격거리 3m 위치에서 폭파시키는 시나리오를 가정하였다. 해석결과, 콘크리트와 철근 콘크리트 부재는 폭발이 발생한 후 지속적으로 변형이 발생하지만 프리스트레스를 도입한 패널은 폭발 시 초기에만 변형이 발생하는 결과를 볼 수 있었다. 이는 프리스트레스를 도입한 부재가 폭발하중에 대해 균열과 파괴를 제어한다는 것을 알 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 충격파 형태의 폭발 하중을 받는 부재의 소성 범위를 고려한 SDOF 해석의 수정계수를 개발하였다. SDOF 해석의 수정계수는 MDOF 해석 결과 값을 비교하여 도출하였다. SDOF 해석에 영향을 미치는 매개변수로 부재의 경계조건, 폭발 하중 지속시간과 고유주기 비를 선정하였다. 수정계수는 탄성 하중-질량 변환 계수를 기준으로 산정하였다. 수정계수 곡선은 상한, 하한 매개변수 경계 사이에 있도록 타원 방정식을 이용하여 도출하였다. 서로 다른 단면과 경계조건을 가지는 예제에 수정계수를 적용한 결과 SDOF 해석의 오차율이 15%에서 3%로 감소하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 수정계수를 적용하여 SDOF 해석의 정확도를 높임에 따라 폭발 해석에 널리 활용될 수 있다.

Damage assessment for buried structures against an internal blast is conducted by considering the soil-structure interaction. The structural element under analysis is assumed to be rigid-plastic and simply-supported at both ends. Shear failure, bending failure and combined failure modes are included based on five possible transverse velocity profiles. The maximum deflections with respect to shear and bending failure are derived respectively by employing proper failure criteria of the structural element. Pressure-Impulse diagrams to assess damage of the buried structures are subsequently developed. Comparisons have been done to evaluate the influences of the soil-structure interaction and the shear-to-bending strength ratio of the structural element. A case study for a buried reinforced concrete structure has been conducted to show the applicability of the proposed damage assessment method.

The project focuses on the dynamic analysis of concrete beams reinforced with silica-nanoparticles under blast loading. The structure is located at two boundary conditions. The equivalent composite properties are determined using Mori-Tanak model. The structure is simulated with sinusoidal shear deformation theory. Employing nonlinear strains-displacements, stress-strain, the energy equations of beam were obtained and using Hamilton's principal, the governing equations were derived. Using differential quadrature methods (DQM) and Newmark method, the dynamic deflection of the structure is obtained. The influences of volume percent and agglomeration of silica nanoparticles, geometrical parameters of beam, boundary condition and blast load on the dynamic deflection were investigated. Results showed that with increasing volume percent of silica nanoparticles, the dynamic deflection decreases.

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.

The number of explosive attacks on civilian structures has recently increased. Protection of structure subjected to blast load remains quite sophisticated to predict. The use of the pyramid cover system (PCS) to strengthen sandwich structures against a blast terror has great interests from engineering experts in structural retrofitting. The sandwich steel structure performance under the impact of blast wave effect is highlighted. A 3-D numerical model is proposed to study the PCS layer to strengthen sandwich steel structures using finite element analysis (FEA). Hexagonal core sandwich (XCS) steel panels are used to study structural retrofitting using the PCS layer. Field blast test is conducted. The study presents a comparison between the results obtained by both the field blast test and the FEA to validate the accuracy of the 3-D finite element model. The effects are expressed in terms of displacement-time history of the sandwich steel panels and pressure-time history effect on the sandwich steel panels as the explosive wave propagates. The results obtained by the field blast test have a good agreement with those obtained by the numerical model. The PCS layer improves the sandwich steel panel performance under impact of detonating different TNT explosive charges.

Since there is 70% of the land in South Korea is forest, tunnel constructions by blasting are common for building railways and roads. The damage to the bedrock and the development of overbreak near the face of the tunnel during the blasting directly affect the safety of the tunnel and the maintenance after the construction. Therefore, there is a need to investigate the damage zone in the bedrock after the blasting. The damage zone changes the properties of the bedrock and decreases the safety. Especially, the coefficient of permeability of the damaged bedrock increases dramatically, which is considered very important in construction. There is a lack of research on the damage that bedrock is received with respect to the amount of explosives in blasting, which is required for the design of optimum support in blast excavation that maximizes the support of the bedrock. Therefore, in this research, numerical analysis was performed based on the field experiment data in order to understand the mechanical characteristics of the bedrock after to the blast load and to analyze the damage that the bedrock receives from the blast load. In addition, a method was proposed for selecting the optimum blast pressure for train tunnel design with respect to the damage zone.
