PSC 구조물에 폭발과 같은 극한하중이 짧은 시간 동안 발생하게 되면 급작스러운 파괴와 그로 인한 수많은 인명 및 재산피해를 발생시킨다. 하지만 원전격납구조물, 가스탱크와 같은 PSC 구조물의 경우 방호 및 방재개념이 포함된 구조설계가 적용되지 않은 실정이며, 특히, 구조물 내부에서 발생하는 폭발압력하중은 피해규모가 외부폭발에 비해 훨씬 크기 때문에 내부폭발하중에 대한 검증은 반드시 필요하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 원전격납구조물의 내부폭발에 대한 저항성능을 검토하기 위해 이방향 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 축소모형을 제작하였다. 내부폭발 실험은 22.68, 27.22, 31.75 kg (50, 60, 70 lbs)의 ANFO 폭약을 이용하여 시편으로부터 1,000 mm의 거리에서 폭발시켰으며, 압력하중, 처짐, 변형률, 균열형상, 긴장력 변화 등의 데이터를 분석하였다. 본 연구결과를 이용하여 원전격납구조물의 내부폭발하중 발생 시 손상도 범위 예측이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Explosions inside transportation tunnels might result in failure of tunnel structures. This study investigated the failure mechanisms of circular cast-iron tunnels in saturated soil subjected to medium internal blast loading. This issue is crucial to tunnel safety as many transportation tunnels run through saturated soils. At the same time blast loading on saturated soils may induce residual excess pore pressure, which may result in soil liquefaction. A series of numerical simulations were carried out using Finite Element program LS-DYNA. The effect of soil liquefaction was simulated by the Federal Highway soil model. It was found that the failure modes of tunnel lining were differed with different levels of blast loading. The damage and failure of the tunnel lining was progressive in nature and they occurred mainly during lining vibration when the main event of blast loading was over. Soil liquefaction may lead to more severe failure of tunnel lining. Soil deformation and soil liquefaction were determined by the coupling effects of lining damage, lining vibration, and blast loading. The damage of tunnel lining was a result of internal blast loading as well as dynamic interaction between tunnel lining and saturated soil, and stress concentration induced by a ventilation shaft connected to the tunnel might result in more severe lining damage.

The present study focuses on the performance of basalt fiber reinforced concrete (BFRC) lining in tunnel situated in sandstone rock when subjected to internal blast loading. The blast analysis of the lined tunnel is carried out using the three-dimensional (3-D) nonlinear finite element (FE) method. The stress-strain response of the sandstone rock is simulated using a crushable plasticity model which can simulate the brittle behavior of rock and that of BFRC lining is analyzed using a damaged plasticity model for concrete capturing damage response. The strain rate dependent material properties of BFRC are collected from the literature and that of rock are taken from the authors' previous work using split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB). The constitutive model performance is validated through the FE simulation of SHPB test and the comparison of simulation results with the experimental data. Further, blast loading in the tunnel is simulated for 10 kg and 50 kg Trinitrotoluene (TNT) charge weights using the equivalent pressure-time curves obtained through hydrocode simulations. The analysis results are studied for the stress and displacement response of rock and tunnel lining. Blast performance of BFRC lining is compared with that of plain concrete (PC) and steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) lining materials. It is observed that the BFRC lining exhibits almost 65% lesser displacement as compared to PC and 30% lesser displacement as compared to SFRC tunnel linings.

본 논문에서는 철근콘크리트 코어 구조물의 내부폭발 효과를 폭발이나 충격해석에 특화되어 있는 하이드로코드인 Ansys Autodyn을 이용하여 조사하였다. 내부폭발의 경우 폭발하중의 반사효과로 인해 더욱 큰 파괴를 일으킬 수 있다. 그러므로, 본 논문에서는 UFC 3-340-02 를 사용하여 내부 폭발현상을 입증하였다. 추가적으로 Autodyn을 사용한 해석에 관하여 UFC에서 예제로 제시하는 폭발하중의 반사에 관한 실험 결과를 비교하여 Autodyn이 내부폭발 효과를 해석하는데 적합함을 증명하였다. 나아가, 초고층빌딩에서 가장 중요한 부분 중의 하나의 코어 구조의 붕괴메커니즘을 Autodyn을 사용하여 해석하였다. 내부폭발이 코어에 충격을 가할 때, 코어는 모서리와 폭발 정면 부분이 대부분 피해를 입었다. 그러므로, 코어 벽체가 피해를 입게 된다면 코어 구조물의 연쇄붕괴가 발생할 수 있다.

The characteristic response of a structure to blast load may be divided into two distinctive phases, namely the direct blast response during which the shock wave effect and localized damage take place, and the post-blast phase whereby progressive collapse may occur. A reliable post-blast analysis depends on a sound understanding of the direct blast effect. Because of the complex loading environment and the stress wave effects, the analysis on the direct effect often necessitates a high fidelity numerical model with coupled fluid (air) and solid subdomains. In such a modelling framework, an appropriate representation of the blast load and the high nonlinearity of the material response is a key to a reliable outcome. This paper presents a series of calibration study on these two important modelling considerations in a coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian framework using a hydrocode. The calibration of the simulated blast load is carried out for both free air and internal explosions. The simulation of the extreme dynamic response of concrete components is achieved using an advanced concrete damage model in conjunction with an element erosion scheme. Validation simulations are conducted for two representative scenarios; one involves a concrete slab under internal blast, and the other with a RC column under air blast, with a particular focus on the simulation sensitivity to the mesh size and the erosion criterion.

Tunnels have been an integral part of human civilization. Due to complexity in its design and structure, the stability of underground structures under extreme loading conditions has utmost importance. Increased terrorism and geo-political conflicts have forced the engineers and researchers to study the response of underground structures, especially tunnels under blast loading. The present study has been carried out to seek the response of tunnel structures under blast load using the finite element technique. The tunnel has been considered in quartzite rock of northern India. The Mohr-Coulomb constitutive model has been adopted for the elastoplastic behaviour of rock. The rock model surrounding the tunnel has dimensions of 30 m x 30 m x 35 m. Both unlined and lined (concrete) tunnel has been studied. Concrete Damage Plasticity model has been considered for the concrete lining. Four different parameters (i.e., tunnel diameter, liners thickness, overburden depth and mass of explosive) have been varied to observe the behaviour under different condition. To carry out blast analysis, Coupled-Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) modelling has been adopted for modelling of TNT (Trinitrotoluene) and enclosed air. JWL (Jones-Wilkins-Lee) model has been considered for TNT explosive modelling. The paper concludes that deformations in lined tunnels follow a logarithmic pattern while in unlined tunnels an exponential pattern has been observed. The stability of the tunnel has increased with an increase in overburden depth in both lined and unlined tunnels. Furthermore, the tunnel lining thickness also has a significant effect on the stability of the tunnel, but in smaller diameter tunnel, the increase in tunnel lining thickness has not much significance. The deformations in the rock tunnel have been decreased with an increase in the diameter of the tunnel.

Analysis of the internal state of the blast furnace is necessary to predict and to control the operating conditions. Especially, it is important to develop models of the blast furnace to predict the cohesive zone because shape of the cohesive zone influences overall operating conditions of blast furnace such as gas flow, chemical reactions and temperature. Because many previous blast furnace models have assumed cohesive zone to be fixed, it was not possible to evaluate the shape change of cohesive zone in relation with operating conditions such as PCR, blast condition, and production rate. In this study, an axi-symmetric 2-dimensional steady state model is proposed to simulate blast furnace processes. In this model, cohesive zone is determined by the solid temperature. Finite volume method is employed for numerical simulation. To find location of the cohesive zone, entire calculation procedure is iterated until converged. Through this approach, shape of the cohesive zone, velocity and temperature within the furnace are predicted from the model.

Tunnels have become an indispensable part of metro cities. Blast resistance design of tunnel has attracted the attention of researchers due to numerous implosion event. Present paper deals with the non-linear finite element analysis of rock tunnel having shear zone subjected to internal blast loading. Abaqus Explicit schemes in finite element has been used for the simulation of internal blast event. Structural discontinuity i.e., shear zone has been assumed passing the tunnel cross-section in the vertical direction and consist of Highly Weathered Granite medium surrounding the tunnel. Mohr-Coulomb constitutive material model has been considered for modelling the Highly Weathered Granite and the shear zone material. Concrete Damage Plasticity (CDP), Johnson-Cook (J-C), Jones-Wilkins-Lee (JWL) equation of state models are used for concrete, steel reinforcement and Trinitrotoluene (TNT) simulation respectively. The Coupled-Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) method of modelling for TNT explosive and air inside the tunnel has been adopted in this study. The CEL method incorporates the large deformations for which the traditional finite element analysis cannot be used. Shear zone orientations of 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75° and 90°, with respect to the tunnel axis are considered to see their effect. It has been concluded that 60° orientation of shear zone presents the most critical situation.

충격파와 같은 moving load가 특별한 속도로 관 안을 전파한다. 이 관 안을 전파하는 moving load 속도는 flexural wave의 활성화의 정도와 큰 변형을 일으키는 공진이 발생할 가능성을 결정한다. 본 연구에서, 우리는 moving load가 관안을 통과하고 있을 때의 변위의 특별해와 공진현상이 일어날 조건을 보일 것이다. 또한 이 이론적 결과를 hydrocode를 이용하여 얻은 수치해석 결과와 비교하여 정당성을 보일 것이다. 이와 같은 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구는 원자력 발전소나 탄화수소 계열의 연료를 사용하는 산업분야에서 공진현상에 의한 대형 사고를 예방하는 목적을 가지고 있다.

최근, 테러 및 전쟁과 관련된 폭발사고가 빈번히 발생하고 있으며, 특히 도심지에서는 이러한 폭발사고로 인해 인명피해 뿐 아니라 주요 시설물에도 큰 손상이 가해져 제2차, 3차의 피해가 발생하게 된다. 폭발사고에 대하여 인명 및 시설물을 안전하게 보호하기 위해서는 기본적으로 구조물에 가해지는 폭발하중 효과에 대한 이해가 필요하다. 폭발하중은 매우 빠른 시간 내에 콘크리트 구조물에 큰 압력으로 작용하는 하중이므로 변형률 속도와 구조물의 국부적인 손상을 고려하여 동적응답을 평가해야 한다. 일반적으로, 콘크리트는 다른 건설재료에 비해 상대적으로 높은 폭발저항성을 가진 재료로 알려져 있다. 그러나 폭발실험이라는 특수한 실험조건으로 인하여 국내외적으로 실험에 관련된 정보 및 결과 공유가 상당히 제한적으로 이뤄지고 있는 실정이다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 폭발에 의한 압력하중이 철근콘크리트 구조물에 미치는 영향과 방호성능을 평가하기 위하여 국방과학시험연구소 다락대 시험장에서 $1.0m{\times}1.0m{\times}150mm$의 철근콘크리트 슬래브 구조물을 제작하여 시편으로부터 높이 1.5 m에서 TNT 9 lbs와 TNT 35 lbs으로 예비시험을 수행하였으며, 동일한 이격거리(standoff)에서 ANFO 35 lbs으로 본 실험을 수행하였다. 이는 국내 최초 민간에서 수행되어진 실험으로써, 첫 번째 논문에서는 폭발실험을 하기 위한 기본적인 실험 구성 및 구조물의 거동을 측정하기 위한 계측장비 구성에 대하여 검토하여 계측 시스템의 구축 및 폭파시험 수행절차를 구축하고자 한다. 센서, 시그널 컨디셔너, DAQ시스템, 소프트웨어로 구축된 계측 시스템을 바탕으로 정립된 폭파시험 수행절차는 향후 국내의 방호설계 및 폭발하중을 받는 구조물의 효과적인 거동계측 등 관련 연구분야의 기초자료가 될 것이라고 판단되는 바이다.
