Structual Safety Analysis on the Response of Bridge Structure Anainst Dangerous Chemical Explosion
Road transportation accidents with dangerous chemicals are easy to cause explosions,and the explosion load will have different degrees of damage effect on the bridge structures.In the paper,starting from the physical and chemical properties and packaging methods of hazardous chemicals,the explosion methods of hazardous chemicals are analyzed,including chemical explosion and physical explosion,and the impact of explosion on structure safety is qualitatively evaluated by calculating equivalent TNT equivalent and over-pressure of explosion shock wave.Taking liquefied petroleum gas(LPG)on road transportation as an example,the influence of chemical and physical explosions on bridge structure during the road transportation of hazardous chemicals under typical accident conditions such as rear-end collision and rollover are analyzed.In order to further verify the reliability of the qualitative determination method and quantitatively analyze the damage effect of the explosion of dangerous chemicals on the bridge structure,based on the qualitative analysis,the finite element simulation of the safety analysis of the bridge in response to the explosion of dangerous chemicals is carried out based on the existing concrete continuous rigid frame bridge,and the safety situation of the bridge in the explosion of liquefied petroleum gas road transportation is analyzed.The analysis results show that the conclusions of qualitative and quantitative methods are basically the same.The method can effectively support the safety evaluation and security of road transport of dangerous chemicals,and has a wide range of social significance and application value.
