The use of the rigid polyurethane foam (RPF) to strengthen buried structures against blast terror has great interests from engineering experts in structural retrofitting. The aim of this study is to use the RPF to strengthen the buried structures under blast load. The buried structure is considered to study the RPF as structural retrofitting. The Guowei model (Guowei et al. 2010) is considered as a case study. The finite element analysis (FEA) is also used to model the buried structure under shock wave. The buried structure performance is studied based on detonating different TNT explosive charges. There is a good agreement between the results obtained by both the Guowei model and the proposed numerical model. The RPF improves the buried structure performance under the blast wave propagation.

일반구조용 압연강재인 SS400과 용접구조용 압연강재인 SM490에 대하여 폭발위력의 기준 약으로 사용되는 TNT를 이용한 붙이기 폭파절단실험을 실시하였으며, TNT 약량에 따른 강재의 절단 및 강종별 절단 특성에 대하여 검토하였다. 그 결과로서 SM490 강재의 폭파저항성이 SS400 강재 보다 약량기준 약 30% 이상임을 확인 할 수 있었다.

The use of the rigid polyurethane foam (RPF) to strengthen sandwich structures against blast terror has great interests from engineering experts in structural retrofitting. The aim of this study is to use the RPF to strengthen sandwich steel structure under blast load. The sandwich steel structure is assembled to study the RPF as structural retrofitting. The filed blast test is conducted. The finite element analysis (FEA) is also used to model the sandwich steel structure under shock wave. The sandwich steel structure performance is studied based on detonating different TNT explosive charges. There is a good agreement between the results obtained by both the field blast test and the numerical model. The RPF improves the sandwich steel structure performance under the blast wave propagation.

The use of composite materials to strengthen reinforced concrete (RC) structures against blast terror has great interests from engineering experts in structural retrofitting. The composite materials used in this study are rigid polyurethane foam (RPF) and aluminum foam (ALF). The aim of this study is to use the RPF and the ALF to strengthen the RC panels under blast load. The RC panel is considered to study the RPF and the ALF as structural retrofitting. Field blast test is conducted. The finite element analysis (FEA) is also used to model the RC panel under shock wave. The RC panel performance is studied based on detonating different TNT explosive charges. There is a good agreement between the results obtained by both the field blast test and the proposed numerical model. The composite materials improve the RC panel performance under the blast wave propagation.

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.

The experiment for the sympathetic detonation (Sudo et al., 1951) (Fukuyama et al., 1958) in water was conducted. Composition B (RDX: 64%, TNT: 36%, Detonation velocity: 7900m/s) was used for both donor (the thickness was 50mm, and the diameter was 31mm) and receptor charges. The distance between the donor and the receptor, and the thickness (5, 7.5, 10mm) of the receptor were varied in the experiments. In order to investigate the basic characteristics of the underwater sympathetic detonation of high explosive, the sympathetic detonation phenomena were visualized by a high-speed camera (HADLAND PHOTONICS, IMACON790) in forms of streak and framing photographs. The 200ns/mm streak velocity was 2㎲. Manganin gauges (KYOWA Electronic INSTRUMENTS CO. SKF-21725) were used for the pressure measurements. The gauges were set under the receptor. The pressures during the complete and incomplete explosions were measured.

LNG 저장탱크의 외조는 콘크리트 부재로 수직 방향 및 원환 방향 프리스트레싱 벽체 구조인데, 저장탱크의 대형화가 이루어짐에 따라 프리스트레싱 구간이 길어지고 그에 따른 극한 하중을 받는 LNG 저장탱크의 거동에 대한 분석이 필요하다. 본 연구는 주요 사회기반시설구조물의 하나인 LNG 저장탱크에 테러와 같은 폭발 사고가 발생하였을 때 안전성 향상을 위하여 폭발 저항 성능에 대한 분석연구를 수행하였다. 해석은 유한요소해석 프로그램인 LS-DYNA를 사용하여 270,000kL급 LNG 저장탱크 외조의 TNT 폭발에 대한 거동을 평가해보고자 한다. 또한 TNT 폭발량에 따른 폭발에 대한 LNG 저장탱크의 거동 비교를 통해 구조물의 안전성 및 사용성을 평가해보고자 한다. 이 연구의 결과를 통해 폭발량에 따른 구조물에 거동 변화를 확인하고, 설계 시 안전성 기준 및 검토의 보조자료로 활용할 수 있도록 한다.
