강관 등과 같이 곡면을 이루는 구조물 용접부의 내부 결함을 검출하기 위한 기법을 제안하였다. 인공 결함을 만들어 초음파 비파괴검사를 행하고, 곡면의 표면 거리($Y_s$)를 계산하여 실측한 참값($Y_T$)과 비교해 보았다. 제안된 방법으로 계산한 값이 참값에 대하여 1%이하의 오차 범위에 들어오므로 강관 용접부의 내부 결함 검사에 응용될 수 있다.

용접부결함은 구조물 건전성측면에서 항상 문제가 되어 왔다. 따라서 용접시 발생 할 수 있는 결함들을 사전에 방지하기 위한 대책들이 꾸준히 연구되어 왔으며, 용접부의 최종 품질확인 및 부품 사용중 용접부의 건전성을 평가하기 위한 수단으로 비파괴시험법들이 오래전부터 적용되어 왔다. 따라서 이 글에서는 용접부의 특성, 용접부결함의 중요성에 대해 기술하고 부품 건전성의 진단목적으로 결함의 유무 및 크기측정을 위해 사용되는 비파괴시험법의 종류 및 특징, 비파괴 시험법 중에서 결함의 길이 및 두께방향의 높이측정을 위해 유일하게 이용되는 초음파시험법에 대해, 특히 결함크기 측정법 중 현재 널리 사용되는 몇 가지 방법에 대해 소개하고자 한다.

수많은 판형부재로 구성된 대형 트러스교에서는 불량용접된 부재가 존재할 수 있으며, 이는 교량의 피로수명에 결정적인 영향을 줄 수 있다. 이러한 교량에서 용접불량부를 조사하고 부재단면중 용접불량을 고려한 유효단면을 가정하여 피로수명을 예측하는 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 이를 위하여 피로수명에 영향을 미치는 교통량을 분석하고 차량모델을 가정하여 유효등가응력을 산정하였으며 모형피로시험에서 구한 응력-반복횟수곡선을 이용하여 피로수명을 예측하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 분석기법은 불량용접부와 교통량이 강교량의 피로수명에 미치는 영향을 예측하는데 매우 유용함을 알 수 있다.

In this study, an automated ultrasonic testing system and post signal and image processing techniques are developed in order to construct ultrasonic flaw images in weldments. Image processing algorithms are built into the flaw image processing system for the automated ultrasonic testing system. The developed signal and image analysis algorithms addressed in this study include an A-Scan data compression algorithm, ultrasonic image amplification algorithm and B-scan flaw image correction algorithm(SAFT). This flaw image processing system for the automated ultrasonic testing system can be applied to various inspection fields.

A power plant's heat exchangers work under poor conditions, such as high temperature, high pressure, corrosion, mechanical stress and vibration. Especially, partial joint-weld of heat exchanger's header to stub-tube is the place where incomplete penetration flaws can easily occur. But, it is hard to evaluate the safety of the structure by conventional nondestructive testing techniques. So it is necessary to test integrity of the weld inside and to develop testing technique and equipment that can detect the flaws at the weld point in order to enhance reliability of the test result. In this study, we developed a suitable automated ultrasonic testing system that can inspect the partial joint-weld of header to stub-tube of power plant. Finally, we showed the efficiency of the automated ultrasonic-testing-system from the application.

High cycle bending fatigue of socket welded small bore pipe was characterized, and also the fatigue crack initiation of small bore pipe was monitored in situ by the acoustic emission (AE) technique. The STS 316L stainless steel specimens were prepared by gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process having the artificial defect (i.e., lack of penetration) and defect free at the root. The fatigue failure was occurred at the loc for high stress and root for relatively low stress. The crack initiation cycles ($N_i$) was defined to the abrupt increase in AE counts during the fatigue test, and then the cracks were observed by the radiographic test and electron microscope before and after the fatigue crack initiation cycles. The socket welded pipe damaged by bending fatigue was studied regarding the welding defect, failure mode, and crack initiation cycles for the diagnosis and monitoring.

Recently, modular system are popular in construction fields, and they are increasing their marcket share. To compare modular units, bolting and welding are most popular methods. However, the temperature around a welded part might be over than 1,300$^{\circ}C and the composite member might be exposed tp the direct welding heat about 20,000$^{\circ}C. This high welding heat makes decrease of the concrete strength. If the concrete strength seriously decreases, it can affect the behavior and safty of a structure. On this study, To prevent of concrete strength decreases by welding heat, we suggested method of to insert between steel and concrete.

Austenitic stainless steels have excellent corrosion resistance, durability and fire resistance. Especially, since STS304L among austenitic types is a low-carbon variation of STS304 and has excellent intergranular corrosion resistance, it can often be used under the welded condition without heat treatment after field welding. This paper investigated ultimate behaviors such as ultimate strength and weld metal fracture mechanism of STS304L fillet-welded connections with TIG(tungsten inert gas) welding through test results. Main variables of specimens are weld length and welding direction against loading. Fracture of specimens are classified into three modes(tensile fracture, shear fracture and block shear fracture). Ultimate strengths were compared according to the welding direction and weld length and TFW series with transverse fillet weld had the highest strength compared with other types(LFW series with longitudinal fillet weld and FW series with all round weld). It is known that current design specifications such as KBC 2016 and AISC2010 underestimated the strength of TFW and LFW specimens and provided unconservative estimates for FW specimens. Finally, strength equations were proposed considering material properties of STS 304L material.
