국내의 지하공간 활용이 증가함에 따라 지하에 매설되어 있는 가스관과 같은 시설물에서의 폭발 사고가 꾸준히 발생하고 있다. 인구밀도가 높은 도심지에서는 개별의 폭발 사고가 복합적인 큰 사고로 확산될 가능성이 존재한다. 따라서, 도심지에서의 폭발이 지하구조물의 안정성에 미치는 영향을 평가하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 터널과 인접한 곳에서의 폭발이 지하구조물의 안정성에 영향력을 미치는 요인들의 영향을 파악하기 위하여 폭발 조건과 암반의 물성을 포함한 8개 인자들에 대한 민감도 분석을 실시하였다. AUTODYN을 이용한 민감도 분석을 통해 각 인자들의 주영향과 교호작용효과를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 폭발지점과 지하구조물 사이의 거리, 폭약량, 암석의 탄성계수가 터널 주변 응력성분에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

Even though extensive researches have been performed for steam explosion due to their complex mechanisms and inherent uncertainties, establishment of severe accident management guidelines and strategies is one of state-of-the arts in nuclear industry. The goal of this research is primarily to examine effects of vessel failure modes and locations on nuclear facilities under typical steam explosion conditions. Both discrete and integrated models were employed from the viewpoint of structural integrity assessment of steel components and evaluation of the cracking and crushing in reinforced concrete structures. Thereafter, comparison of systematic analysis results was performed; despite the vessel failure modes were dominant, resulting maximum stresses at the all steel components were sufficiently lower than the corresponding yield strengths. Two failure criteria for the reinforced concrete structures such as the limiting failure ratio of concrete and the limiting strains for rebar and liner plate were satisfied under steam explosion conditions. Moreover, stresses of steel components and reinforced concrete structures were reduced with maximum difference of 12% when the integrated model was adopted comparing to those of discrete models.

In this paper, the structural performance of RC and HPFRCC slabs exposed to a TNT explosion were numerically investigated. A finite element model was established using the MM-ALE method in the LS-DYNA program to simulate a near-ground TNT explosion at a scaled distance of 1.08 m/kg³. The K&C model was calibrated to exactly reflect the material properties of HPFRCCs that were developed in KICT and KNU. Numerical and experimental results were compared for the damage distribution and failure shape of the slabs. Based on the verified numerical model, a parametric study was carried out to demonstrate the effects of compressive strength and thickness of the slab on the blast resistance. In particular, the spallation failure on the back side of the slab is greatly dependent on the thickness. Finally, additional numerical simulations were conducted to explore the variation in blast pressure characteristics according to the scaled distance and explosive shape. It was confirmed that the pressure induced by cubic TNT was more destructive to the slab than cylindrical and spherical TNT in a nearfield explosion.

변성가스의 폭발특성을 평가하기 위하여, 산소농도 변화와 수소의 첨가에 따른 변성가스 조성을 변화시켜 폭발거동에 대한 실험을 행하였다. 이러한 실험을 행한 결과 산소농도 $21\%$에서 변성가스와 수소의 농도가 증가할수록 폭발하한계는 낮아졌으며, 산소농도 $6\%$에서 폭발한계산소농도를 구하였다. 변성가스의 최대폭발압력은 $4.61 kg_f/cm^2$의 최적값을 얻었고, 이때 최대폭발압력상승속도는 변성가스 농도 $40\%$에서 $130.75 kg_f/cm^2/s$를 구하였다. 또한 폭발에 필요한 최소점화에너지는 변성가스 농도 $50\%$에서 0.13 mJ를 구하였다.

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.

In the event of a severe accident, the reactor core may melt due to insufficient cooling. the high-temperature core melt will have a strong interaction (FCI) with the coolant, which may lead to steam explosion. Steam explosion would pose a serious threat to the safety of the reactors. Therefore, the study of steam explosion is of great significance to the assessment of severe accidents in nuclear reactors. This research focuses on the development of a two-dimensional steam explosion integrated analysis code called SEINA. Based on the semi-implicit Euler scheme, the three-phase field was considered in this code. Besides, the influence of evaporation drag of melt and the influence of solidified shell during the process of melt droplet fragmentation were also considered. The code was simulated and validated by FARO L-14 and KROTOS KS-2 experiments. The calculation results of SEINA code are in good agreement with the experimental results, and the results show that if the effects of evaporation drag and melt solidification shell are considered, the FCI process can be described more accurately. Therefore, it is proved that SEINA has the potential to be a powerful and effective tool for the analysis of steam explosions in nuclear reactors.

화약류 간이저장소에 대한 현재의 규정이 적정한지를 검토할 목적으로 내부 폭발이 표준적인 저장소의 구조적 안정성에 미치는 영향을 FEM 해석과 현장 실험을 통해 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 에멀젼 계열 폭약 15 kg에 대한 기존 저장소 구조물의 방폭 성능이 충분하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 여기에 대한 하나의 대안으로서 폭약을 분할하는 방법을 상정하고 순폭실험을 수행하였다. 실험을 수행한 결과, 폭약을 분할하는 방법이 예상대로 잘 작동하는 것을 확인하였으며, 시험 결과에 근거하여 적정한 분할 폭약량도 결정하였다. 또한, 저장소 구조물 상부를 개방하는 방법을 시험한 결과, 폭발압력이 신속하게 배출되어 구조물 손상이 크게 저감되는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 구조물 형태는 화약류 간이저장소에 대한 새로운 설계기준으로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

In this paper, a finite element dynamic simulation study was performed to gain an insight about the blast wall test details for the offshore structures. The simulation was verified using qualitative and quantitative comparisons for different materials. Based on in-depth examination of blast simulation recordings, dynamic behaviors occurred in the blast wall against the explosion are determined. Subsequent simulation results present that the blast wall made of high energy absorbing high manganese steel performs much better in the shock absorption. In this paper, the existing finite element shock analysis using the LS-DYNA program is further extended to study the blast wave response of the corrugated blast wall made of the high manganese steel considering strain rate effects. The numerical results for various parameters are verified by comparing different material models with dynamic effects occurred in the blast wall from the explosive simulation.

The bedding plane has a significant influence on the effect of blasting fragmentation and the overall performance of underground mining. This paper explores the effects of fragmentation of the bedding plane and different angles by using the numerical analysis. ANSYS/LS-DYNA code was used for the implementation of the models. The models include a dynamic compressive and tensile failure which is applied to simulate the fractures generated by the explosion. Firstly, the cracks propagation with the non-bedding plane in the coal with two boreholes detonated simultaneously is calculated and the particle velocity and maximum principal stress at different points from the borehole are also discussed. Secondly, different delay times between the two boreholes are calculated to explore its effects on the propagation of the fractures. The results indicate that the coal around the right borehole is broken more fully and the range of the cracks propagation expanded with the delay time increases. The peak particle velocity decreases first and then increases with the distance from the right borehole increasing. Thirdly, different angles between the bedding plane and the centerline of the two boreholes and the transmission coefficient of stress wave at a bedding plane are considered. The results indicated that with the angles increase, the number of the fractures decreases while the transmission coefficient increases.

As one of the explosion suppression methods of LPG tank exposed to hot environment by an accident or fire, some material which has large heat capacity and thermal conductivity can be installed inside the LPG tank in order to suppress the temperature increasement of tank wall. In the present study, theoretical model for the horizontally locating cylindrical LPG tank with and without the aluminum explosion suppression material has been developed to predict the characteristics of system. As a parametric study, effects of two major parameters, thickness of material filling and initial vapor volume fraction, on the time variation of wall temperature, temperature and pressure in tank are numerically examined. The results of present study show that the thickness of material filling does not give big differences in the suppression characteristics when the thickness of filling is larger than three inches. In case of material filling, there are marked suppression effects to the increase-ment of wall temperature, average vapor temperature and pressure in tank compared with the case of no filling.
