Offshore oil and gas process plants are exposed to hazardous accidents such as explosion and fire, so that the structural components should resist such accidental loads. Given the possibilities of thousands of different scenarios for the occurrence of an accidental hazard, the best way to predict a reasonable size of a specific accidental load would be the employment of a probabilistic approach. Having the fact that a specific procedure for probabilistic accidental hazard analysis has not yet been established especially for explosion and fire hazards, it is widely accepted that engineers usually take simple and conservative figures in assuming uncertainties inherent in the procedure, resulting either in underestimation or more likely in overestimation in the topside structural design for offshore plants. The variation in the results of a probabilistic approach is determined by the assumptions accepted in the procedures of explosion probability computation, explosion analysis, and structural analysis. A design overpressure load for a sample offshore plant is determined according to the proposed probabilistic approach in this study. CFD analysis results using a Flame Acceleration Simulator, FLACS_v9.1, are utilized to create an overpressure hazard curve. Moreover, the negative impulse and frequency contents of a blast wave are considerably influencing structural responses, but those are completely ignored in a widely used triangular form of blast wave. An idealistic blast wave profile deploying both negative and positive pulses is proposed in this study. A topside process module and piperack with blast wall are 3D FE modeled for structural analysis using LS-DYNA. Three different types of blast wave profiles are applied, two of typical triangular forms having different impulse and the proposed load profile. In conclusion, it is found that a typical triangular blast load leads to overestimation in structural design.

고로 수쇄슬래그는 선철의 제철과정에서 생산되는 부산물로서 자연 해성모래와 유사한 입자형상을 가지고 경량이며 큰 전단강도와 투수성을 나타낸다. 특히, 고로 수쇄슬래그는 시간경과와 더불어 경화하는 잠재수경성을 가진다. 따라서 고로 수쇄슬래그가 안벽이나 옹벽의 뒷채움 재료로 사용 되어졌을 때, 경화에 의한 전단강도의 증가로 토압감소가 기대되며, 결과적으로 항만구조물의 건설비용이 감소하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 모형토조를 이용하여 고로 수쇄슬래그와 Toyoura sand에 대해 토압, 벽 마찰력, 가동벽체 표면에서의 토압분포를 측정하는 모형실험을 실시하였다. 실험에서 상대밀도는 25%, 55% 및 70%로 설정하였으며 벽체는 저점을 중심으로 주동 및 수동토압측으로 회전시켰다. 벽체 상부에서의 최대 수평변위는 ${\pm}2mm$로 설정하였다. 모형실험 결과, 고로 수쇄슬래그에서 얻어진 주동토압이 Toyoura sand보다 작음을 알았다.

Locations of silicon accumulation in rice leaves and its possible association with resistance to rice blast were investigated by analytical electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. A blast-susceptible cultivar, Jinmi, and partially resistant cultivars, Hwaseong and Suwon345, were grown under a hydroponic culture system with modified Yoshida's nutrient solution. Electron-dense silicon layers were frequently found beneath the cuticle in epidermal cell walls of silicon-treated plants. Increasing levels of silicon were detected in the outer regions of epidermal cell walls. Silicon was present mainly in epidermal cell walls, middle lamella, and Intercellular spaces within subepidermal tissues. Furthermore, silicon was prevalent throughout the leaf surface with relatively small deposition on stomatal guard cells in silicon-treated plants. Force-distance curve measurements revealed relative hardness and smaller adhesion force in silicon-treated plants (18.65 uN) than control plants (28.39 uN). Moreover, force modulation microscopy showed higher mean height values of elastic Images In silicon-treated plants(1.26 V) than in control plants (0.44 V), implying the increased leaf hardness by silicon treatment. These results strongly suggest that silicon-induced cell wall fortification of rice leaves may be closely associated with enhanced host resistance to blast.

Environmental changes, especially global climate change, are creating new challenges to the development of the Arctic regions, which have substantial energy resources. And attention to offshore structures has increased with oil and gas development. The structural impact response of an explosion-resistant profiled blast walls normally changes when it operates in low temperatures. The main objectives of this study are to investigate the structural response of blast walls in low temperature and suggest useful guidelines for understanding the characteristics of the structural impact response of blast walls subjected to hydrocarbon explosions in Arctic conditions. The target temperatures were based on the average summer temperature ($-20^{\circ}C$), the average winter temperature ($-40^{\circ}C$) and the coldest temperature recorded (approximately $-68^{\circ}C$) in the Arctic. The nonlinear finite element analysis was performed to design an explosion-resistant profiled blast wall for use in Arctic conditions based on the behaviour of material properties at low temperatures established by performing a tensile test. The conclusions and implications of the findings are discussed.

Once a structure fabricated with mass concrete is in a form of wall such as retaining wall, side walls of a concrete caisson and so on, cracks induced by hydration heat have been known to be governed by exterior restraints which are mainly related to the boundary conditions of the structure. However, it is thought that the degree of restraints can be alleviated considerably only if a lift height of concrete placement or a panel size of the wall is selected properly before construction. As a way of minimizing thermal cracking commonly observed in massive wall-typed structure, this study aimed at evaluating effects of geometrical configuration on the temperature rise and thermal stress through parametric study. Evaluation of the effect was also performed for cement types using anti-sulphate cement, blast furnace slag cement and cement blended with two mineral admixture and one ordinary Portland Cement. so called ternary blended cement. As a result of analytical study, it was found that a lift height of concrete placement is the most important factor in controlling thermal cracking in massive wall, and the increase of a lift height is not always positive to the crack occurrence as not expected.

With the recent increase in gas energy use, risk management for explosion accidents has been emphasized. Protective walls can be used to reduce damage from explosions. The KOSHA GUIDE D-65-2018 suggests the minimum thickness and height of protective walls, minimum reinforcement diameter, and maximum spacing of reinforcements for the structural safety of the protective walls. However, no related evidence has been presented. In this study, the blast load carrying capacity of the protective wall was analyzed by the pressure-impulse diagrams while changing the yield strength of the reinforcement, concrete compressive strength, reinforcement ratio, protective wall height, and thickness, to check the adequacy of the KOSHA GUIDE. Results show that failure may occur even with design based on the criteria presented by KOSHA GUIDE. In order to achieve structural safety of protective walls, additional criteria for minimum reinforcement yield strength and maximum height of protective wall are suggested for inclusion in KOSHA GUIDE. Moreover, the existing value for minimum reinforcement ratio and the thickness of the protective wall should be increased.

In our former paper, tremolitic talc, -wollastonite-clay system was studied. In this study blast furnace slag was used(B.F.S.) instead of wollastonite for developing a fast-firing wall tile body. The wall tile bodies consisting of tremolitic talc and B.F.S. asmajor constituents have been fired in the temperature range 1000-120$0^{\circ}C$. Some of these bodies have showed good properties for wall tile manufacture. According to the increased content of B.F.S the fired bodies have showed the decreased thermal expansion which was resulted from the fact that the amounts of diopside and anorthite were gradually increased and those of quartz relatively decreased. Being reasonable in low price and thermo-stable properties tremolitic talc and B.F.S. will be good materials for the fast-firing tile body.

이 논문은 필리핀 석회석 광산에 적용한 연구 결과로서 이 광산에서는 파쇄석 입도분포가 좋지 않고 벽면의 유지나 파쇄석 더미의 분산이 불량하였다. 기폭패턴을 대각선 방식에서 V 타입으로 바꾸고 전색장을 조정하여 저항과 가스압의 유지기간을 향상시켰다. 이를 통하여 발파결과가 향상되었다. 특히 공당발파영역이 넓어진 것으로써 그 성과를 확인할 수 있다. 공당발파영역은 기존의 $8.96m^2$에서 $12m^2$로 넓어졌다. 화약계수는 증가하였고 대괴의 수는 감소하였으며, 전방적재기의 행정시간이 감소하였다. 또 공전 시간이 줄었으며 적재높이가 향상되었다.

강-콘크리트 편개형 방폭문은 외피 구조로서의 강박스 내에 콘크리트 슬래브가 채워진 구조로서 힌지 및 렛치와 같은 지지부재에 의해 벽체에 고정되어 설치된다. 폭압이 작용하는 방향과 같은 정방향으로의 처짐 거동에 대해서는 많은 연구가 되어 왔으나, 부방향 처짐 거동에 대한 연구는 상대적으로 미흡한 수준이다. 본 연구에서는 폭압을 받는 편개형 방폭문의 부방향 처짐 단계에서 발생하는 반발 거동(rebound behavior)에 대해 유한요소해석으로 변수 분석을 하였다. 분석결과에 따르면 방폭문의 소성변형 내지는 파괴 정도, 반발작용 전후의 운동량 및 운동에너지 변화가 반발거동에 영향을 미치는 주요 요소로 분석되었다. 또한, 방폭문의 거동 특성이 준정적 영역에 속하는 경우에 비해 충격영역에 속하는 경우에서 더 큰 반발력이 발생하는 것으로 나타났는데, 이와 같은 결과는 변형에너지 보다 운동에너지가 상대적으로 더 크게 증가하는 충격영역에서의 거동 특성이 원인인 것으로 사료된다. 반발작용의 결과로 인해 지지부재에 과도한 변형이 발생할 수 있으므로 성능분석 및 설계 과정에서 이에 대한 고려가 필요하다. 또한, 부압이 미치는 영향을 검토한 결과에 따르면 강-콘크리트 방폭문의 경우에서도 반발에 의한 영향 및 부압 모두가 방폭문의 부방향 처짐에 기여할 때 반발력이 상대적으로 더 크게 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 중첩 효과의 발생조건은 구조체 특성 및 폭발조건 등에 따라 다를 수 있으므로 이에 대해서는 더 많은 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
