Abstract

In this paper, reinforced concrete structures are modeled and analyzed. Reinforced concrete has been an essential element in the construction and one that is provided for shielding effectiveness at particular frequencies by rebar placed as a set up in the form of a grid. Using commercial 3-dimensional electromagnetic(3D EM) tool to analyze the reinforced concrete structure, the procedure of analysis for reinforced concrete is computed by dividing concrete, rebar and entire reinforced concrete. The spacing of rebar is bigger, transmission coefficient is higher and the diameter of rebar is bigger, transmission coefficient is lower. Also, in case of two layers is analyzed by gap of layers. Using single layer rebar that thickness of rebar given by 10, 20 and 30 mm have transmission coefficient of -1.89, -2.73 and -4.76 dB/10 cm at 500 MHz. Also, two layers rebar obtain -1.89, -2.73 and -4.76 dB/10 cm for same conditions.

본 논문은 철근 콘크리트에 대한 전자기적 모델링을 하고, 전파에 대한 차폐 효과를 분석하였다. 철근 콘크리트는 대부분의 건축물에 쓰이고 있으며, 내부에 격자 구조의 철근을 설치하기 때문에 특정 주파수 대역에서 전파의 차폐 효과가 있다. 철근 콘크리트의 해석은 3D EM(3-dimensional electromagnetic) 시뮬레이션 툴을 이용하여 철근과 콘크리트를 각각 해석한 뒤 그 영향을 고려하여 전체 철근 콘크리트의 해석을 하였다. 콘크리트의 경우 주파수가 높아짐에 따라 손실 특성 역시 높아져 차폐 효과가 커진다. 단층 철근의 경우 철근의 두께가 두꺼워질수록 차폐 효과가 커지며 주파수가 낮을수록 철근에 의한 차폐 효과가 커지는 것을 분석하였다. 또한, 철근과 철근 사이의 간격이 넓어질수록 차폐 효과가 낮아진다. 철근 구조를 2층으로 확장한 경우에 대해서도 철근과 철근 층 사이의 거리에 따른 차폐 효과에 대한 분석을 하였다. 철근 콘크리트 단층 철근을 사용한 경우, 철근두께 가 10, 20, 30 mm일 때 500 MHz에서 각각 철근 콘크리트 두께 10 cm당 -1.89, -2.73, -4.76 dB/10 cm의 투과 특성 값을 가지며, 두 층 철근을 이용한 경우에도 철근 두께에 대하여 -2.46, -6.16, -9.55 dB/10 cm의 투과 특성을 나타낸다.
