PURPOSES : This study provides fundamental information on the temperature variations in tunnel structures during severe fire events. A fire event in a tunnel can drastically increase the internal temperature, which can significantly affect its structural safety. METHODS : Numerical simulations that consider various fire conditions are more efficient than experimental tests. The fire dynamic simulator (FDS) software, based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, was used for the simulations. The variables included single and multiple accidents involving heavy goods vehicles carrying 27,000 liters of diesel fuel. Additionally, the concrete material characteristics of heat conductivity and specific heat were included in the analysis. The temperatures of concrete were investigated at various locations, surfaces, and inside the concrete at different depths. The obtained temperatures were verified to determine whether they reached the limits provided by the Fire Resistance Design for Road Tunnel (MOLIT 2021). RESULTS : For a fire caused by 27,000 liters of diesel, the fire intensity, expressed as the heat release rate, was approximately 160 MW. The increase in the carrying capacity of the fire source did not significantly affect the fire intensity; however, it affected the duration of the fire. The maximum temperature of concrete surface in the tunnel was approximately 1400 ℃ at some distance away in a longitudinal direction from the location of fire (not directly above). The temperature inside the concrete was successfully analyzed using FDS. The temperature inside the concrete decreased as the conductivity decreased and the specific heat increased. According to the Fire Resistance Design for Road Tunnel (MOLIT 2021), the internal temperatures should be within 380 ℃ and 250 ℃ for concrete and reinforcing steel, respectively. The temperatures were found to be approximately 380 ℃ and 100 ℃ in mist cases at depths of 5 cm and 10 cm, respectively, inside the concrete. CONCLUSIONS : The fire simulation studies indicated that the location of the maximum temperature was not directly above the fire, possibly because of fire-frame movements. During the final stage of the fire, the location of the highest temperature was immediately above the fire. During the fire in a tunnel with 27,000 liters of diesel, the maximum fire intensity was approximately 160 MW. The capacity of the fire source did not significantly affect the fire intensity, but affected the duration. Provided the concrete cover about 6 cm and 10 cm, both concrete and reinforcing steel can meet the required temperature limits of the Fire Resistance Design for Road Tunnel (MOLIT 2021). However, the results from this study are based on a few assumptions. Therefore, further studies should be conducted to include more specific numerical simulations and experimental tests that consider other variables, including tunnel shapes, fire sources, and locations.

해저 석유와 가스 탐사가 점점 더 깊은 수심으로 진행되고 있으며, 해저 파이프라인은 고압 및 고온 조건에서 작동하는 것이 일반적이다. 온도 및 압력 차이로 인하여 파이프 축 방향 힘이 축적되는 현상이 있다. 이러한 현상은 파이프라인을 구속하는 해저면 효과 때문에 파이프라인은 횡 좌굴이 발생하게 된다. 온도가 증가하는 경우 축 방향의 압축 하중이 가해지며 이 하중이 임계 수준에 도달하면 파이프가 수직방향으로 움직이게 된다. 또는 파이프라인의 구조적 완전성을 위태롭게 할 수 있는 횡 방향 좌굴이 발생하는 상황에서, 작 동 중 파이프라인의 구조적 안전함을 보장하기 위해 파이프라인의 상세 구조 강도평가가 수행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 해저면의 마찰 효과 및 재료의 열 수축/팽창을 고려한 비선형 구조해석을 상용 유한요소해석 프로그램인 ANSYS를 활용하여 검토하였으며, 외부충격에 의한 횡 방향 좌굴 안전성을 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 통하여 수치 해석적 단순화된 분석 모델을 통하여 해저면의 효과를 고려한 조 건에서의 실제 파이프라인의 붕괴 조건을 예측할 수 있다.

The purpose of this study is to develop precast concrete modules that can be used as a booth and a single-story building with a large space. This precast concrete module is originally designed to have a hexagonal facade when the upper and lower parts, which are symmetrical about horizontal connection line, are combined. A structural design was conducted to ensure structural safety of these precast concrete modules and to extend the slope of the inclined members as far as possible. Then the finite element analysis was performed to estimate the lateral and vertical deflection of complete precast concrete modular structures. And to verify the structural safety of these precast concrete modules, weight loading tests were conducted on the upper and lower modules respectively.

본 논문은 버스정류장 미세먼지 저감을 위해 설계된 도로시설물의 성능평가 과정 및 결과를 보고한다. 먼저, 유한요 소해석 프로그램인 LS-DYNA를 이용하여 대상 구조물에 대한 충돌해석이 수행되었다. 해석변수로 차량의 속도와 충돌 위치를 고려한 다양한 조건에서의 구조해석이 진행되었다. 대상 시설물의 성능은 이 결과를 이용하여 구조적 성능과 충돌 후 차량의 안전성능이 평가되었다. 해석결과로부터 충돌속도가 증가하고 충돌위치가 전면으로 갈수록 시설물의 구조성능과 차량의 충돌 후 안전성능이 저하되는 것이 콘크리트의 손상량을 통해 확인되었다. 더불어 충돌 후 차량의 거동에 대한 분석을 통해 시설물에 연속되는 연석이 설치되면 차량의 이탈을 방지해 안전성능을 확보하는 것으로 예측되었다. 최종적으로, 대상 시설물은 설계 시 고려된 목표 충돌속도 25km/h보다 더 큰 40km/h까지 충분한 안전성능을 확보하고 있다는 것이 확인되었다.

PE(PolyEthylene) 재료를 활용한 해상부유 구조물은 바다, 강 또는 호수의 인근이나 수역 내에 일정한 공간 부를 형성하는 부유식 구조물로, 현재는 그 용도가 소형선박 계류장뿐만 아니라 양식장, 수상 펜션, 해상부교 등에 다양하게 활용되고 있다. 이 제품군의 특징은 유연성이 뛰어나고 재활용할 수 있으며, 내약품성, 내후/내식성이 우수하다. 기존의 PE 제품군을 활용한 부유식 플랫폼은 한 개의 브래킷에 한 개의 부력관을 체결하는 단순한 구조를 구성하였고, 이로 인하여 사용자가 용도 변경 및 사용환경이 변경될 때는 적용하는데 제한이 있었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 한 개의 브래킷에 다양한 크기를 갖는 부력 관을 체결할 수 있는 구조를 개발하고, 제품의 구조 안전성을 유한요소법을 활용하여 검증하였다. 구조해석 결과, 브래킷 하단에 지름 500mm 부력관 모델에서 충돌 하중에 대해 최대값을 나타내었으나, 허용기준을 만족하였다. 본 연구 결과를 기반으로 하여, 향후 다양한 형태의 부유체 플랫폼에 대한 구조 안전성 평가에 관한 연구가 가능하며, 관련 평가 기준에 대한 정립이 필요하다.

The purpose of this study was the analytical safety evaluation on the super-structure of precast modular bridge using standardized modular members and robotic construction during the transportation routing and lifting conditions. In order to evaluate the safety performance of the bridge system, 3-D full scale Finite Element (FE) of 40 m standardized modular block was developed in ABAQUS, followed by the analytical study to classify the structural system according to steel girder structures: 1) modular bridge block lifting method including the steel girder system; 2) modular bridge block lifting method without the steel girder system. The results from the analytical study revealed that the maximum stress of each modular member was within the maximum allowable stresses during lifting condition. However, the stress concentration at the connected area was more critical in comparison to the behavior of 40 m combined modular blocks during lifting time

This study presented the analytical safety evaluation of precast modular bridge super-structure, using standardized modular members and robotic construction during the transportation routing and lifting conditions. In order to evaluate the safety performance of the bridge system, linear and nonlinear 3D full scale Finite Element (FE) for 12 m and 16 m standardized modular blocks was developed in ABAQUS and then analytical study was classified into two different structural systems according to steel girder structures: 1) modular bridge block lifting method including the steel girder system; 2) modular bridge block lifting method without the steel girder system. As a result, in analytical study, the results revealed that the maximum stress of each modular member was in maximum allowable stresses, during lifting condition. However, the stress concentration at the connected area was more critical in comparison to the behavior of entire modular blocks both 12 m and 16m, during lifting time.
