This study proposes a method to evaluate the protective performance of an existing K9 artillery position according to various explosion scenarios. Thus, a commercial software package AUTODYN was used to create a 3D model of the existing artillery position. Following the mission, enemy, terrain and weather, troops and support available, time available, and civil consideration (METT+TC) analysis, a total of three blast loading scenarios were selected. According to the results, the wall rotation angle of a near-miss explosion was within the standard of 2°; considering contact explosions, the rotation angles were also within 2°. This confirmed that the K9 artillery position under examination for protective performance was within the elastic design range. Considering the final evaluation and combining the results, the walls and slabs of the K9 artillery position were determined to be able to withstand the corresponding blast pressures and have no issues in protective performance. Meanwhile, due to the limitations of the actual blast tests for evaluating the protective performance of civilian protective structures and those of the ROK Armed Forces, these tests were replaced with numerical analysis-based evaluations. However, due to the lack of specified procedures for numerical analysis based on finite element analysis, there were several difficulties in practice. Therefore, this study aims to provide a basic procedure for evaluating the protective performance of protective structures in the future by presenting analytical and blast loading conditions which are necessary for evaluating protective performance.
