This paper is estimation of structure damage caused by Explosion in LPG(Liquefied Petroleum Gas) filling station. As we estimate the influence of damage which occur at gas storage tank in filling station. We can utilize the elementary data of safety distance. In this study, the influence of over-pressure caused by VCE(Vapor Cloud Explosion) in filling station was calculated by using the Hopkinson's scaling law and the accident damage was estimated by applying the influence on the adjacent structure into the probit model. As a result of the damage estimation conducted by using the probit model, both the damage possibility of explosion overpressure to structures of max 265 meters away and to glass bursting of 1150 meters away was nearly zero in open space explosion.

In order to establish detailed plans for fire protection and reduce the possible fire accidents in the future, a study on the shock wave caused by VCE(Vapor Cloud Explosion) is very important. Destruction phenomena of structure by gas explosion is due to the explosion pressure and heat. Explosion pressure is a kind of energy converted from the gas mixture explosion. Therefore, the propagation progress of shock wave and flame is very important. This study investigated the shock wave caused by VCE in enclosure with opened vent port. From a result, the vent port of top at the straight line of ignition and leak location was opened most rapidly, and the vertical vent port not opened.

This paper is on the influence of gas explosion caused by Vapor Cloud Explosion(VCE). Also, it is to understand the influence of the booth for explosion experiment which is installed to let the trainees for legal education which is managed by IGTT(Institute or Gas Technology Training) know the riskiness of explosion. In this study, the influence of explosion shock wave caused by VCE in enclosure was calculated by using the Hopkinson's scaling law and the accident damage was estimated by applying the influence on the adjacent human into the probit model. As a result of the damage estimation conducted by using the probit model, both the damage possibility of explosion overpressure to human 8 meters away and that of shock wave to hurt 15 meters away showed nothing.

The assessment of catastrophic accidents such as BLEVE, vapor cloud explosion, and toxic material releases in the chemical process industries(CPI) shall be carried out according to the Requirement of PSM/SMS enforced by Korea Government Agencies, but reasonable models are not proposed for the practical application. The traditional models, TNT Equivalency Model, are well-known and helpful for the assessment of vapor cloud explosion. However, the estimated-damage-area using the traditional model has much more deviations comparing to the real damage caused by vapor cloud explosion suffered before. These are why an expert system for the assessment of vapor cloud explosion has been developed, which is based on theoretical, statistical and experimental data, and it would be helpful for CPI to evaluate the damage-area in case of vapor cloud explosion.

This paper is estimation of structure damage caused by VCE(Vapor Cloud Explosion) in enclosure. As we estimate the influence of damage which occur at gas facility in factory. We can utilize the elementary data of safety distance. In this study, the influence of over-pressure caused by VCE in enclosure was calculated by using the Hopkinson's scaling law and the accident damage was estimated by applying the influence on the adjacent structure into the probit model. As a result of the damage estimation conducted by using the probit model, both the damage possibility of explosion overpressure to structures of 20 meters away and to glass bursting of 80 meters away was nearly zero in open space explosion.

환경친화적인 에너지원으로서 가스의 수요가 날로 급증하고 있다. 이와 함께 LPG 자동차 충전소가 점진적으로 늘어나고 있다. 본 연구에서는 LPG 충전소에서 발생하는 증기운폭발 과압의 피해를 Hopkinson의 삼승근법을 이용하여 계산하고, 인체에 미치는 영향을 프로빗 모델에 적용하여 피해예측을 평가하였다. 현재 국내에서 가장 많이 운용하는 20ton 저장탱크를 대상으로 누출량 10%를 프로빗 모델에 적용하여 계산하면 LPG 충전소에서의 이격 거리는 각각 인체에 손상가능거리는 36.5m, 고막파열 손상가능거리는 290m이다.

현재 가연성 가스의 누출시 누출된 가스의 확산과 VCE에 의한 과압을 예측하기 위해 여러 모델들이 이용되고 있다. 그러나 이 모델들은 누출설비의 지형과 장애물 그리고 건물들의 영향에 대해서는 충분히 고려하지 않은 단순한 접근방법을 이용하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 누출된 물질의 연소형태, 설비의 Geometry, 난류, 장애물, 바람의 영향 등 여러 변수를 고려하여 보다 정확하게 분석할 수 있는 CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) Model을 검토함으로서 누출된 가스의 확산과정과 분포형태 그리고 폭발시 화염과 과압의 결과를 2D와 3D의 가상공간에서 제시하였다. 이러한 CFD 분석결과는 폭발에 대한 리스크 분석과 리스크 기반의 설계에 있어 유용하게 활용될 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 석유 화학사 생산공장에 설치된 스티렌 모노머 저장 탱크의 화구(fireball)와 증기운 폭발(VCE)에 대한 최악의 시나리오를 선정하고 피해 예측 및 사고영향을 분석하였다. 혼합잔사유 저장 탱크의 주성분인 스티렌 모노머 이상중합반응 시 화구(fireball)와 증기운 폭발(VCE)로 인한 복사열과 과압의 영향 범위는 e-CA 사고 피해 예측 프로그램을 적용하여 정량 분석하였다. 복사열과 폭발 과압의 피해 영향 범위는 각 최대 반경 1,150m와 626m로 분석된다. 복사열 4kW/m²이 미치는 1,150m 이내 사람은 20초 동안 노출 시 피부가 부풀어 오를 수 있다. 폭발 과압 21kPa이 미치는 626m 이내 건축물은 철 구조물의 손상과 기초에서 이탈될 수 있고, 사람은 신체 부상할 수 있다. 화재, 폭발 또는 누출 사고 발생 시 복사열, 과압에 의한 사업장 내 근로자, 인근 주민 또는 주변 시설물 등의 위험 정도와 수용 여부 위험 기준을 판단하고, 취급 물질 유해·위험성 파악, 비상대응체계 구축, 개선 및 투자 활동 등을 통해 사업장 피해 최소화 대책을 수립하는 데 도움이 될 것으로 기대한다.
