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.

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.

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.
