Code-compliant seismic design should be essentially applied to realize the so-called emulative performance of precast concrete (PC) lateral force-resisting systems, and this study developed simple procedures to design precast industrial buildings with intermediate precast bearing wall systems considering both the effect of seismic and blast loads. Seismic design provisions specified in ACI 318 and ASCE 7 can be directly adopted, for which the so-called 1.5S y condition is addressed in PC wall-to-wall and wall-to-base connections. Various coupling options were considered and addressed in the seismic design of wall-to-wall connections for the longitudinal and transverse design directions to secure optimized performance and better economic feasibility. On the other hand, two possible methods were adopted in blast analysis: 1) Equivalent static analysis (ESA) based on the simplified graphic method and 2) Incremental dynamic time-history analysis (IDTHA). The ESA is physically austere to use in practice for a typical industrial PC-bearing wall system. Still, it showed an overestimating trend in terms of the lateral deformation. The coupling action between precast wall segments appears to be inevitably required due to substantially large blast loads compared to seismic loads with increasing blast risk levels. Even with the coupled-precast shear walls, the design outcome obtained from the ESA method might not be entirely satisfactory to the drift criteria presented by the ASCE Blast Design Manual. This drawback can be overcome by addressing the IDTHA method, where all the design criteria were fully satisfied with precast shear walls’ non-coupling and group-coupling strength, where each individual or grouped shear fence was designed to possess 1.5S y for the seismic design.

To test a flameproof enclosure for the safety certificate, a reference pressure of explosion needs to be determined. However, the explosion pressure may be changed according to relative humidity of explosive gases. Therefore, the guideline on relative humidity should be recommended for measuring the explosion pressure for accurate and reproducible testings. This study examined the relationship of explosion pressure with relative humidity of hydrogen (31 vol %)-air and acetylene (14 vol %)-air mixture gases. The explosion pressures were measured by increasing the relative humidity of the gases by 10 % from dry state to 80 % in a cylindrical explosion enclosure of 2.3 L. on ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure (1 atm). The maximum explosive pressures were remained almost constant until the relative humidity reached 10 % for the hydrogen-air mixture and 20 % for the acetylene-air mixture. However, the maximum explosive pressures linearly decreased as the relative humidity increased. Based on the results of the study, it would be recommended to use 10 % relative humidity for the hydrogen-air mixture and 20 % for the acetylene-air mixture as the critical value in testing a flameproof enclosure.

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 준정 적 영역에 속하는 경우에 비해 충격영역에 속하는 경우에서 더 큰 반발력이 발생하는 것으로 나타났는데, 이와 같은 결과는 변형에너 지 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 검 토한 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.

외피 구조로서의 강박스와 내부의 철근콘크리트 슬래브로 구성되는 양개형 방폭문은 방호 및 대피 구조물의 출입구에 설치되는 구조체이다. 방폭문과 그 후면의 벽체 사이에는 일정의 설치 간격이 존재하게 되는데, 이로 인한 지지조건 및 구조거동의 변화는 방폭 해석 및 설계에 적절히 고려되지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 설치 간격에 의한 지지조건 및 폭압의 변화에 따른 방폭문의 구조응답 및 파괴거동을 유한요소 해석방법으로 비교·분석하였다. 해석 결과에 따르면, 설치 간격 및 폭압의 변화는 방폭문의 최대 처짐 및 영구 처짐과 같은 처짐 거동에 영향을 미치며, 설치 간격이 크고 작음에 따라 방폭문과 벽체의 충돌 접촉 정도 및 이에 의한 충격력이 크게 변화하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 방폭문에 작용하는 이와 같은 충격력의 변화는 슬래브의 전단파괴와 같은 파괴거동에 영향을 미치는 주요 요인으로 분석되었다. 설치간격 10mm 미만의 방폭문은 전단파괴에 취약해지고, 15mm 내외 수준인 경우가 휨성능 발현에 비교적 더 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 설치 간격 및 폭압과 같이 기본적인 조건의 변화에 한해서 비교 해석을 하였다. 향후, 부 재 재원 및 강도변화, 전단설계 여부 등 다양한 변수에 따른 구조거동 변화에 대해 실험적 및 해석적 연구가 필요하다.

IEC 60079-10-1 edition 2.0, the global standard for hazardous area classification, was newly revised in 2015. There are many differences compared to the previous edition 1.0 version, first released in 2008, so it has caused confusion in the industry. In case of edition 1.0, the hazardous area extent can be derived through the mathematical formula, but in case of edition 2.0, there was the problem that the exact hazardous area extent was not known because of the mathematical formula of the plot for applying the hazardous area extent was not presented. In this study, we converted the plot introduced in edition 2.0 to CAD format and derived the plot as the mathematical equations. Through this, we suggest the hazardous area extent formula of three states (heavy gas, diffusive, jet). As the IEC committee did not provide the mathematical formula of the hazardous area extent according to the release characteristic, it is impossible to apply the exact hazardous area extent. In this study, a mathematical approach was derived for the plot introduced in edition 2.0, which can reduce the confusion of the applying hazardous area extent.

Offshore plants should be managed at a high level of safety condition. Because the offshore plant has cramped space and has difficult access when a fire occurred, a fire can be critical to the plants. LED lighting can reduce the risk of fire by its lower energy consume suitable to intrinsic safety and lower heat radiation that can reduce the possibility of ignition. Also LED has a long lifetime. Though LED luminaire has various advantages for offshore plants, an international standard for the luminaire has not provided because it is new technology. Because there is no international and domestic standard specially provided for the LED luminaire, a guideline is required for developing the LED light and for the future establishment of an international standard. This study was conducted to develop the guideline for LED luminaire for offshore plants. Firstly, relevant standards were analyzed for the guideline. Then we found that there are editorial differences between international standards and domestic standards. So the guideline was developed based on international version and the differences between the domestic and international standard were provided to let Korean developers recognize the differences.

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.

In this paper, a finite element dynamic simulation study was performed to gain an insight about the blast wall test details for the offshore structures. The simulation was verified using qualitative and quantitative comparisons for different materials. Based on in-depth examination of blast simulation recordings, dynamic behaviors occurred in the blast wall against the explosion are determined. Subsequent simulation results present that the blast wall made of high energy absorbing high manganese steel performs much better in the shock absorption. In this paper, the existing finite element shock analysis using the LS-DYNA program is further extended to study the blast wave response of the corrugated blast wall made of the high manganese steel considering strain rate effects. The numerical results for various parameters are verified by comparing different material models with dynamic effects occurred in the blast wall from the explosive simulation.

Structural behavior of blast-resistant door composed with steel plate and inner con’c core was analyzed according to composite and non-composite condition. The results showed that maximum and permanent deflection decrease in the case of composite condition. And as the impact on blast-resistant door increases and radical deformation occurs, there is not much difference in the deflection of the door.

In this study the design sensitivity of blast-resistant door composed with steel plate and inner RC core was analyzed according to increased steel ratio of plate and rebar. The results showed that compressive failure of inner concrete decreased rapidly in the case of specific steel ratio, and that the overall structural performance such as deflection did not changed substantially.

전 세계적으로 테러의 위협이 가중되고 일반 상업건축에 대한 방폭설계의 요구가 증가하고 있는 현실을 직시하여, 본 연구에서는 기본적인 방폭설계의 개념을 정립하고 실제 설계사례를 통하여 방폭성능을 평가하는데 목표를 두고 있다. 비록 지진하중과 폭파하중에는 많 은 차이점이 있지만, 그 설계법은 구조물의 소성거동을 허용하고 연성을 갖도록 설계한다는 점에서 유사하다. 본 연구에서 제시된 대상 건물에 대한 방폭성능 평가를 통하여, 일반하중에 대하여 잘 설계된 건물은 어느 정도 수준의 방폭성능을 확보하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 구조물에 작용하는 폭파하중은 무기의 종류, 등가의 TNT량, 폭발점에서 목표물까지의 최단거리인 촛점거리 등에 따라 달라지기 때문에 일반화하기에 는 무리가 있다. 희생구조물을 배치하거나 예상되는 폭발점에서 주요 구조부재까지의 촛점거리를 일정수준 이상으로 유지하는 건축 계획적인 노력은 건물의 방폭성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 쉽고 효과적인 방법이다.

In this study, the explosion resistance on the normal strength concrete and HPFRCC structure members were evaluated.
