본 논문에서는 지반경계조건의 설정이 프리캐스트 아치구조물의 폭발저항성능 평가에 미치는 영향을 수치해석적 기법을 사용하여 파악하고자 하였다. 지반경계조건은 고정조건과 PML(perfectly matcher layer)을 이용한 경계조건의 두 가지로 적용하였으며, 폭발하중은 대상 구조물의 설계하중보다 큰 하중을 사용하여 경계조건의 영향을 명확히 비교할 수 있도록 하였다. 폭발압력의 분포 및 경로, 구조물에 발생하는 변위, 콘크리트의 파쇄여부, 콘크리트 및 철근의 응력을 비교․분석하였으며, PML을 적용하였을 때 지반 경계면에서 발생하는 반사파를 효과적으로 제거할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 이로 인해 구조물 기초부의 변위가 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만, 콘크리트의 파쇄여부, 콘크리트 및 철근에 발생하는 응력을 포함한 전반적인 구조물의 거동에는 뚜렷한 차이가 발생하지 않았다. 따라서 방호시설의 설계를 목적으로 폭발시뮬레이션을 수행하는 경우에는 지반경계조건에 고정조건을 적용하였을 때 안전측의 결과를 얻을 수 있으며, 해석시간이 단축되는 이점도 있으므로 이러한 면을 종합적으로 고려하여 지반경계조건을 고정조건으로 적용하는 것이 합리적이라고 판단된다.

최근 테러에 대한 위험성의 증가로 대중들의 폭발 피해에 대한 인식이 증가하였다. 우리나라에 방폭 설계에 대한 기준이 미흡하며, 현재 적용하고 있는 방폭 설계도 정적해석으로 건물의 안정성 및 경제성을 위해 방폭 설계를 개발해야 하는 상황 이다. 또한 지진 발생 증가로 내진 설계 의무화가 확대된 가운데 방폭 설계를 하지 않고 내진 설계를 적용한 부재의 방폭 성능을 판단을 연구한다. 현재 보편적인 폭발 하중의 해석 방법은 UFC 3-340-02 매뉴얼을 참고하는 것이다. UFC 3-340-02 매뉴얼을 통한 폭발 하중의 특성을 적용하고 KBC 2016의 내진 상세를 적용한 보를 등가 단자유도 시스템으로 변환하여 폭발 저항 성능을 연구하였다. 보통, 중간, 특수 모멘트 골조의 연성 능력에 대한 최대 처짐을 고려하여 폭발물의 이격 거리를 통해 평가하여 내진 상세 적용 시 폭발 저항 성능이 향상된다는 것을 입증하였다.

The Kingery-Bulmash equation is the most common equation to calculate blast load. However, the Kingery-Bulmash equation is complicated. In this paper, a modified equation for surface blast load is proposed. The equation is based on Kingery-Bulmash equation. The proposed equation requires a brief calculation process, and the number of coefficients is reduced under 5. As a result, each parameter obtained by using the modified equation has less than 1% of error range comparing with the result by using Kingery-Bulmash equation. The modified equation may replace the original equation with brief process to calculate.

To study the behavior of structures subject to blast loads it is important to calculate the loads due to the explosives accurately, especially in the case of interior explosions. It is known that numerical method based on computational fluid dynamics can estimate relatively accurate blast load due to the interior explosion including reflection effect. However, the numerical method has disadvantages that it is difficult to model the analysis and it takes much time to analyze it. Therefore, in this study, the analytical method which can include the reflection effect of the interior explosion was studied. The target structures were set as the slabs of residential buildings subject to interior explosion that could lead to massive casualties and progressive collapses. First, the numerical method is used to investigate the interior explosion effect and the maximum deflection of the slab which was assumed to be elastic, and compared with the analytical method proposed in this study. In the proposed analytical method, we determine the weighting factor of the reflection effect using the beam theory so that the explosion load calculation method becomes more accurate.

A tensile failure criterion that can minimize the mesh-dependency of simulation results on the basis of the fracture energy concept is introduced, and conventional plasticity based damage models for concrete such as CSC model and HJC model, which are generally used for the blast analyses of concrete structures, are compared with orthotropic model in blast test to verify the proposed criterion. The numerical prediction of the time-displacement relations in mid span of the beam during blast loading are compared with experimental results. Analytical results show that the numerical error is substantially reduced and the accuracy of numerical results is improved by applying a unique failure strain value determined according to the proposed criterion.

The blast load is classified into free-air blast and surface blast following the location of explosion and surface. In this paper, several equations for blast load calculation are explained briefly and a modified equation for free-air blast load is suggested. The modified equation is based on Kingery-Bulmash equation which is used in UFC 3-340-02 and Conwep model. In this modified equation, the process of calculation is simplified against the original equation, and the number of coefficients is reduced under 5. As a result, each parameter of estimated data by modified equation has less than 1% of error range comparing with Kingery-Bulmash equation.

Geopolymers have many advantages over Portland cement, including energy efficiency, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, high strength at early age and improved thermal resistance. Alkali activated geopolymers made from waste materials such as fly ash or blast furnace slag are particularly advantageous because of their environmental sustainability and low cost. However, their durability and functionality remain subjects for further study. Geopolymer materials can be used in various applications such as fire and heat resistant fiber composites, sealants, concretes, ceramics, etc., depending on the chemical composition of the source materials and the activators. In this study, we investigated the thermal properties and microstructure of fly ash and blast furnace slag based geopolymers in order to develop eco-friendly construction materials with excellent energy efficiency, sound insulation properties and good heat resistance. With different curing times, specimens of various compositions were investigated in terms of compressive strength, X-ray diffraction, thermal property and microstructure. In addition, we investigated changes in X-ray diffraction and microstructure for geopolymers exposed to 1,000 oC heat.

This study was performed in order to obtain the effect of the compressive strength of the cured product with manufacturing conditions (amounts of fine aggregate and different types of alkali activator). Material which is the basis of the cured product was used for the blast furnace slag, which has a latent hydraulic activity. Consequently, when using sodium hydroxide as the alkali activator, it is possible to obtain a higher compressive strength than using the calcium hydroxide. And also, it can be added a 10% of fine aggregate with blast furnace slag to improve the compressive strength.

The blast hole has a space between explosive and hole wall, and blast forces reaches the hole wall face with a large amount of loss during passing through this space. The loss ratio of blasting forces are different to this packing material of space like air, water, etc. In this study, the effect of packing materials is investigated by the numerical simulation analysis. The simulation is carried out to two phases; 1st phase is to compute the impacting forces reaching on the wall face passing through packing materials(air, water), 2nd phase is to study the blasting effect(block size of cracking, direction of driving forces, etc.) in real site. The reaching force at the wall face in the water is larger than in the air. This study shows that the water as packing materials is superior to the air.

본 논문에서는 폭발해석에서 주로 사용되는 폭발하중의 압력-시간 이력곡선과 폭발하중 산정식인 Conwep 모델을 소개하고, 이를 더욱 간편하게 계산할 수 있는 간략 폭발하중 산정식을 제안한다. 폭발해석에서 폭발하중은 일반적으로 압력-시간 이력곡선의 형태로 적용되며, 그에 대한 주요 값들은 폭발하중 산정식에 의해 계산된다. 대부분의 폭발해석에서 사용되는 폭발하중 산정식인 Conwep 모델은 환산거리(scaled distance)를 핵심변수로 하여 계산되는데, 그 계산 과정이 매우 복잡한 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 환산거리를 변수로 갖는 간략한 유리식을 사용하여 주요 값들을 계산하고, 단순화된 압력-시간 이력곡선으로 폭발하중을 산정할 수 있도록 제안하였다. 간략식을 찾는 과정에서 Conwep 모델의 계산 결과를 바탕으로 곡선 적합(curve fitting) 방식이 사용되었으며, 제안된 간략식에 의한 주요 값의 계산 결과는 Conwep 모델과 비교하여 1% 미만의 오차를 갖는다. 또한, 유한요소를 이용한 폭발해석에 적용하였으며 Conwep 모델을 적용한 결과와 비교를 통해 검증하였다.

iFLASH System is new structural floor system which consists of sandwich panels filled with nano-composite. The nano-composite has low specific gravity and high bonding strength with steel plates. The bonding strength is one of important factors for structural performance of iFLASH　System and it can further be improved by surface preparation such as blast metal cleaning. However, using none blast steel plates is recommended since surface preparation generates additional fabrication time and cost. In this study, a bonding strength test and bending experiment were conducted to check feasibility of applying none blast steel plates to iFLASH　System. Moreover, stress in bonding plane between steel plates and nano-composite was analytically evaluated by finite element method. Consequently, flexural capacity of the specimen was 11% higher than theoretically calibrated value and its flexural behavior was structurally efficient without defect of bonding.

본 논문에서는 부분 보강된 CFT 기둥의 폭발저항성능을 일반 CFT 기둥과 비교하여 강판 보강의 효과를 확인하였다. 폭발하중을 받는 CFT 기둥의 구조해석에는 폭발과 충돌 해석을 위한 특수한 하이드로코드인 Autodyn을 사용하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 콘크리트와 이를 둘러싸고 있는 강판 사이의 상호작용을 모델링하는 여러 방법이 있다. 본 연구에서는 기둥의 실제 파괴를 표현하기 위해 마찰 옵션 및 조인 옵션으로 모델링하였다. 해석에 따르면, 부분 보강된 CFT 기둥은 일반 CFT 기둥에 비해 더 나은 폭발저항효과를 나타내었다. 보강 CFT기둥의 폭발저항성능은 콘크리트를 둘러싸고 있는 부분 보강된 강판의 높이가 높을수록 향상되었으며 CFT 기둥의 단면 크기 이상으로 보강할 것을 추천한다.

PURPOSES: This study investigates the mechanical performance of carbon-capturing concrete that mainly contains blast furnace slag. METHODS: The mixture variables were considered; these included Portland cement content, which was varied from 10% to 40% of the blast furnace slag by weight. The specimens were exposed to different conditions such as high N2 and O2 concentrations, laboratory conditions and high CO2 conditions. Mechanical performances, including compressive and flexural strengths and carbon-capturing depth, were evaluated. RESULTS : The slump, air content and unit weight were not affected significantly by the variation in cement content. The strength development when the specimens were exposed to high purity air was slightly greater than that when exposed to high CO2. As the cement content increased the compressive and flexural strength increased but not considerably. The carbon-capturing capacity decreased as the cement content increased. The specimens exposed in the field for 70 days had flexural strength greater than 3 MPa. CONCLUSIONS : The results indicate that cement content is not an important parameter in the development of compressive and flexural strengths. However, the carbon-capturing depth was higher for less cement content. Even after field exposure for 70 days, neither any significant damage on the surface nor any decrease in strength was observed.

A Blast valve is the device that is used in the air intake and the exhaust vent of CBRN(Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear warfare) protection facility. The valve is automatically closed when explosion pressure is applied from the outside of equipment. This study is investigated on the structural design and the performance of blast valve. After modeling the entire of blast valve and spring assembly, the data for the spring parameter is obtained through the finite element method and the operating limits of the valve are derived. Also, a prototype is made to determine the relationship between the load and the opening closing amount of valve through the load cell test. The performance of prototype at analysis as blast valve is agreed well with that at experiment. It is verified that the blast valve proposed in this paper is designed with the structure to endure the explosion pressure.

고로슬래그는 유동성 장기강도 및 내구성이 좋고 수화열을 낮아 경화체를 제조함에 따른 적용성이 우수하지만, 몇 가지 문제점을 갖는다. 시공시간이 증가하고 회전속도가 늦고 초기강도가 낮다. 본 연구에서는 알칼리활성화를 이용한 경화체 제조에 있어 필요한 알칼리 수용액을 해수담수화 과정에서 발생하는 농축수의 전기분해를 통하여 공급하였으며. 알칼리 수용액을 이용하여 고로슬래그와 경화체를 제작하였다. 결과는 다음과 같이 요약할 수 있다 : 모르타르의 압축강도는 NaOH 2%이하일 때는 감소하고, 6% 이하까지는 증가한다. 그리고 NaOCl의 함량이 증가할수록 압축강도도 증가한다. 그러나 NaCl이 모르타르에 존재하면 초기강도보다 재령 28일차 강도는 감소하게 된다.

PURPOSES: In this study, alkali-activated blast-furnace slag (AABFS) was investigated to determine its capacity to absorb carbon dioxide and to demonstrate the feasibility of its use as an alternative to ordinary Portland cement (OPC). In addition, this study was performed to evaluate the influence of the alkali-activator concentration on the absorption capacity and physicochemical characteristics. METHODS: To determine the characteristics of the AABFS as a function of the activator concentration, blast-furnace slag was activated by using calcium hydroxide at mass ratios ranging from 6 to 24%. The AABFS pastes were used to evaluate the carbon dioxide absorption capacity and rate, while the OPC paste was tested under the same conditions for comparison. The changes in the surface morphology and chemical composition before and after the carbon dioxide absorption were analyzed by using SEM and XRF. RESULTS: At an activator concentration of 24%, the AABFS absorbed approximately 42g of carbon dioxide per mass of paste. Meanwhile, the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed onto the OPC was minimal at the same activator concentration, indicating that the AABFS actively absorbed carbon dioxide as a result of the carbonation reaction on its surface. However, the carbon dioxide absorption capacity and rate decreased as the activator concentration increased, because a high concentration of the activator promoted a hydration reaction and formed a dense internal structure, which was confirmed by SEM analysis. The results of the XRF analyses showed that the CaO ratio increased after the carbon dioxide absorption. CONCLUSIONS : The experimental results confirmed that the AABFS was capable of absorbing large amounts of carbon dioxide, suggesting that it can be used as a dry absorbent for carbon capture and sequestration and as a feasible alternative to OPC. In the formation of AABFS, the activator concentration affected the hydration reaction and changed the surface and internal structure, resulting in changes to the carbon dioxide absorption capacity and rate. Accordingly, the activator ratio should be carefully selected to enhance not only the carbon capture capacity but also the physicochemical characteristics of the geopolymer.

The purpose of this study is to establish and examine the analytical methods based on FEA to predict the behavior of the precast prestressed concrete panels under blast loading. The precast prestressed concrete structures are on the rise, but there is little research in this regard explosion. In this paper, we set the variable to the three models. TNT 500 kg was an explosion in the standoff-distance 3m. In conclusion, the precast models damage was concentrated in the bonded portion. The concrete panels after an explosion occurred continuously deformed. But the including prestressed panels deformation occurs only at the beginning of the explosion were able to see the results.
