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.

More than 70% of the accidents that occur on offshore installations stem from hydrocarbon explosions and fires, which, because they involve blast effects and heat, are extremely hazardous and have serious consequences in terms of human health, structural safety, and the surrounding environment. Blast barriers are integral structures in a typical offshore topside module to protect personnel and safety critical equipment by preventing the escalation of events caused by hydrocarbon explosions. Many researchers have shown the adequacy of the simple design tool commonly used by the offshore industry for the analysis and design of blast walls. However, limited information is available for corrugated blast wall design with explosion impact response characteristics. Therefore, this paper presents a parametric study on the explosion impact response characteristics of an offshore installation's stainless steel corrugated blast wall. This paperalso investigates and recommends design parameters for the structural design of a corrugated blast wall based on a nonlinear structural analysis of experiential results.

This paper investigates the possibility of controlling the response of typical portal frame structures to blast loading using a combination of semi-active and passive control devices. A one storey reinforced concrete portal frame is modelled using non-linear finite elements with each column discretised into multiple elements to capture the higher frequency modes of column vibration response that are typical features of blast responses. The model structure is subjected to blast loads of varying duration, magnitude and shape, and the critical aspects of the response are investigated over a range of structural periods in the form of blast load response spectra. It is found that the shape or length of the blast load is not a factor in the response, as long as the period is less than 25% of the fundamental structural period. Thus, blast load response can be expressed strictly as a function of the momentum applied to the structure by a blast load. The optimal device arrangements are found to be those that reduce the first peak of the structural displacement and also reduce the subsequent free vibration of the structure. Semi-active devices that do not increase base shear demands on the foundations in combination with a passive yielding tendon are found to provide the most effective control, particularly if base shear demand is an important consideration, as with older structures. The overall results are summarised as response spectra for eventual potential use within standard structural design paradigms.

Infill panel is the first element of a building subjected to blast loading activating its out-of-plane behavior. If the infill panel does not have enough ductility against the loading, it breaks and gets damaged before load transfer and energy dissipation. As steel infill panel has appropriate ductility before fracture, it can be used as an alternative to typical infill panels under blast loading. Also, it plays a pivotal role in maintaining sensitive main parts against blast loading. Concerning enough ductility of the infill panel out-of-plane behavior, the impact force enters the horizontal diaphragm and is distributed among the lateral elements. This article investigates the behavior of steel infill panels with different thicknesses and stiffeners. In order to precisely study steel infill panels, different ranges of blast loading are used and maximum displacement of steel infill under such various blast loading is studied. In this research, finite element analyses including geometric and material nonlinearities are used for optimization of the steel plate thickness and stiffener arrangement to obtain more efficient design for its better out-of-plane behavior. The results indicate that this type of infill with out-of-plane behavior shows a proper ductility especially in severe blast loadings. In the blasts with high intensity, maximum displacement of infill is more sensitive to change in the thickness of plate rather the change in number of stiffeners such that increasing the number of stiffeners and the plate thickness of infill panel would decrease energy dissipation by 20 and 77% respectively. The ductile behavior of steel infill panels shows that using infill panels with less thickness has more effect on energy dissipation. According to this study, the infill panel with 5 mm thickness works better if the criterion of steel infill panel design is the reduction of transmitted impulse to main structure. For example in steel infill panels with 5 stiffeners and blast loading with the reflected pressure of 375 kPa and duration of 50 milliseconds, the transmitted impulse has decreased from 41206 N.Sec in 20 mm infill to 37898 N.Sec in 5 mm infill panel.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze turbidity and quality characteristics of white rice as a function of main shaft blast velocity and to verify the optimum processing conditions in the cutting type white rice processing system (CTWRPS). Methods: Sindongjin, one of the rice varieties, which used to be produced in Gimje-si, Jeollabuk-do, in 2015, was used as the experimental material. Turbidity and quality characteristics of white rice were measured at three different main shaft blast velocities: 25, 30, and 35 m/s. The amount of test material used for a single experiment was 20 kg, and after processing, whiteness was found to be $42.5{\pm}0.5$, following which, turbidity and quality characteristics were measured. Results: Turbidity decreased with increase in the shaft blast velocity, and as a result, was lowest at 35 m/s of shaft blast velocity among all the other experiment velocities. The trend of cracked rice ratios was similar to the turbidity. Broken rice ratio turned out to be less than 2.0% in all the test conditions. In the first stage of processing, the processing pressure decreased as the main shaft blast velocity increased. Additionally, in the second stage of processing, the processing pressure was at its lowest value at the main shaft blast velocity of 35 m/s. Energy consumption, too, decreased as the main shaft blast velocity was increased. Conclusions: From the above results, it is concluded that the main shaft blast velocity of 35 m/s is best for reducing turbidity and producing high quality rice in a CTWRPS.

국가의 발파진동과 소음에 대한 규제 기준은 공학적인 기술검증 절차에 의해 설정되어져야 한다. 발파진동에 의한 공해는 인체에 미치는 영향과 구조물이나 시설물에 미치는 영향이 전혀 다르게 나타나므로 각각의 특성에 맞는 기술적인 검증을 거쳐 규제기준이 설정되어져야한다. 현재 국가에서 규정하고 있는 발파진동에 대한 규제 기준은 환경부의 소음 진동 규제법과 건설교통부의 터널시방서의 발파진동허용기준이 전부이다. 환경부의 발파진동 규제기준은 사람의 주거환경을 대상으로 설정하였으므로 인체에 대한 발파진동의 반응현상을 근거한 선진국의 연구자료와 법규정 등을 인용하여 부분적으로는 문제점이 있으나 비교적 타당성이 있는 기준이 설정되었다고 사료된다. 그러나 건설교통부에서 발파진동 규제 기준으로 제시한 터널시방서의 발파진동허용기준은 발파공학적인 기술특성을 알지 못한 상태에서 부실하게 규제 기준을 만들어 정상적인 발파 공사를 방해할 뿐만 아니라 선진국과 국내에서 지극히 정상적으로 발파 공사를 수행하고 있는 공법까지도 발파진동허용기준에 저촉되어 공법을 폐기해야하는 문제점이 발생되었다. 본고는 건설교통부의 발파진동허용기준에 대한 문제점을 지적하고 합리적인 발파진동허용기준에 대한 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

강교 제작에는 강재 표면의 이물질 제거와 피복방식재료의 부착성 증대를 위하여 블라스트 표면처리가 실시되고 있다. 블라스트 표면처리는 쇼트나 그릿 등의 연마재를 압축공기로 분사하여 강재 표면에 충격을 가하는 표면처리법으로, 블라스트 처리에 의해 표면형상이 개선되고 압축잔류응력이 도입되어 용접이음의 피로수명이 향상될 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구에서는 하중비전달형 십자필렛 용접이음의 피로실험을 실시하여, 블라스트 표면처리가 용접이음의 피로거동에 미치는 영향을 실험적으로 검토하였다. 피로실험에는 용접 후 무처리 시험편(용접 그대로), 용접 후 블라스트 표면처리 한 시험편과 블라스트 처리 후 열처리에 의해 잔류응력을 제거한 시험편의 합계 3종류의 용접시험편을 대상으로 하였다. 그 결과 블라스트 표면처리에 의해 용접지단부의 곡률반경은 약 29% 증가하였으며, 용접지단부의 인장잔류응력이 제거되고 압축잔류응력이 도입되었다. 그리고 블라스트 처리에 의해 피로수명과 피로한계가 증가하였다. 피로수명은 응력범위가 낮을수록 더 크게 증가하였고, 피로한계는 약 1.5배 증가하였다.
