Corrugated Steel Structure (CSS), which was applied in North America in the early 1900s and has been installed in more than 1,000,000 places worldwide, has been in service since 1996, 100 years later, in Korea with POSCO, Korea Expressway Corporation, Seoul National University, Hanyang University, etc. It has been applied to the domestic market through commercialization research by specialized companies. Based on this, since the 2000s, it has been widely applied to road crossing passages, waterways and local small rivers, animal movement ecological passages, and Piam tunnels. Based on the advantages and economic feasibility of minimizing the existing vehicle traffic control during construction, it is a universal new construction method along with the existing reinforced concrete construction method. About 5000 corrugated steel plate structures have been installed and operated in Korea for 20 years.
However, regarding the various advantages of the construction method and the rapidly occurring demand, in the beginning, detailed explanations of the national design standards and specifications were insufficient. Problems such as deformation of the corrugated steel sheet occurred intermittently due to the lack of understanding of the backfill material and backfill compaction, which are the most important factors in
To improve this, ChungAmEnC has continuously improved and supplemented related standards through R&D with various related organizations, and based on domestic and foreign failure cases, provides optimized design solutions in advance for possible problems during actual construction. Optimized solutions include Virtual Construction: a three-dimensional system for step-by-step forecasting processes. (BIM LoD: 350 / Tekla, Trimble) and 3D Scanning (Leica P30 System, Cyclone ) Minimize errors that may occur at each construction stage I did. In addition, by providing 3D FEM, 3D printing and landscape design solutions, we will do our best to become a company that continuously develops and provides the world's best solutions that overcome the uncertainty of design and construction anxiety that customers have felt.
History of CSS
In 1896, an American civil engineer James. H. Watson and Starting with Stanley Simpson's patent, it was applied to small drainage channels in North America until the 1930s, and by the late 1900s, the maximum span was applied up to 11m and expanded to small bridges, passageways, and military facilities (ammunition depots). Since the 2000s, the span has been extended to 23m and applied to ecological tunnels, mine stockpiles, reclaim tunnels, and military facilities (hangars). 2014-2016 R&D and commercialization of extra-corrugated corrugated steel sheet (EXSCor) of Cheongam EnC With success, the maximum span was extended to 40m. It satisfies the maximum loads of CAT 797F (about 620 tons), EURO LM71, mine trucks, which could not be applied in the past with respect to live loading along with the expansion of span, so that it is economical, stable, and workable than concrete structures in multi-step processes. has enough competitiveness. In addition, extra corrugated steel sheet (EXSCor) is listed as a construction method and product according to design standards in Korea (KDS, KCS) as well as AASHTO LRFD and ASTM A796M in the United States.

SolutionMilitary protection facilities
For corrugated steel plate military facilities , economical efficiency and constructability are important, but protection is even more important. If we compare the protective facilities constructed with corrugated steel sheet and concrete, concrete proceeds from cracking to fracture according to the strength of impact energy applied to the structure due to explosion, whereas corrugated steel sheet, a steel material, changes to deformation energy under the same conditions. . In other words, concrete exhibits considerable resistance to static compressive forces, but not to dynamic impacts applied instantaneously (Nano Second) such as explosions. In addition, although concrete has a high possibility of damage from debris caused by internal debris, secondary damage to the corrugated steel plate protective structure is very low or absent .
DESIGN CODE Corrugated steel plate ECM (Earth Covered Megazine) and protective facilities using corrugated steel plate are based on the Defense Design Standard (DMFC), It is designed and supplied in accordance with the US military design standards (UFC, ASTM). In addition, based on the research results of the 「Measures to apply steel materials for military facilities」 conducted by the Ministry of National Defense, 「Corrugated Steel Plate Underground Structure」 was published in 「National Defense/Military Facilities Standard」 in 2009. published in 2012 Corrugated steel plate design guidelines are included in 「Defense/Military facility standards」, 「Ammunition storage design guidelines」 and 「Steel protection tank design and construction guidelines」. etc. contains details.

Corrugated steel plate protection facilities, along with ECM, have been applied to hangars, K-9 protection facilities, 81mm mortar closures, and radar protection facilities in the Northwest Islands and DMZ sections since 2009, and have also been applied to civilian shelters.
The anti-condensation corrugated steel sheet ECM has improved ammunition storage efficiency and protection performance compared to the existing concrete ammunition storage, and has solved the problem of condensation through condensation research .

Corrugated steel plate protective wall Small lodging units in the platoon unit, which work on the front line of the front line, are mainly installed in prefabricated lodgings and do not have self-protection performance. Accordingly, depending on the situation of the military unit, it is the situation that the military dormitory protection wall is installed using earthen walls, waste tires, or waste drums. These existing defense walls are exposed to the threat of enemy mortars, and protection performance cannot be expected. Not only is this dangerous for a direct hit, but it can also cause massive casualties in melee explosions. The background of the application of the corrugated steel plate barrier in the 00 construction is that it has more protective performance than reinforced concrete, and the construction period is fast and secondary damage (rear fracturing) that occurs during enemy bombardment does not occur. The characteristics of steel barriers are as follows.
○ In the case of RC firewalls, secondary damage, such as human life and equipment, occurs due to back-fracture caused by shelling. However, steel-made firewalls ensure maximum survivability by securing protective performance against rear-facing fractures.
○ It is suitable for construction in mountainous terrain, remote areas, and winter season.
○ The construction period is shortened (50% compared to concrete) as no form, scaffolding, or RC curing is required.
○ Factory-manufactured, pre-quality inspection and on-site maintenance in case of damage are easy, and economical efficiency is excellent.
