중요한 사회기반시설물 중 하나인 상수관망시스템은 대부분의 시설물이 지중에 매설되어있기 때문에 지진에 취약하고 복구에 어려움이 크며, 지진 발생 시 대규모 피해로 이어질 우려가 있다. 따라서 상수관망시스템에 대한 지진피해를 최소화하고 재해로부터 신속하게 복구하기 위한 적절한 복구전략을 마련할 필요가 있다. 상수관로에 발생하는 지진피해는 크게 파손과 누수로 구분되며, 대구경 관로가 파손될 경우 대규모 단수 및 피해가 우려되므로 신속한 복구전략이 마련되어야한다. 일반적으로 파손 관로의 복구는 먼저 피해 관로 인근의 제수밸브의 차폐를 통해 통수를 차단한 후 교체 작업을 진행하는 것이 일반적이며, 해당 과정에서 밸브 차폐에 의한 단수구역의 발생이 불가피하다. 이러한 단수구역 발생은 해당 지역의 용수공급능력 저하로 이어지며, 단수구역의 범위 및 단수용량의 규모는 제수밸브의 위치 및 개수에 따라 결정된다. 본 연구에서는 기개발된 상수관망 지진피해복구 시뮬레이션 모형(Choi et al., 2018)을 개선하여 지진피해복구 시 시스템 내 제수밸브의 설치 위치와 개수에 따라 발생되는 단수구역과 단수상황이 상수관로의 용수공급능력(Serviceability)에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 개선된 모형은 피해복구에 따른 용수공급능력을 정량적으로 산정할 수 있으며, 피해 관로의 복구 시 제수밸브 차폐에 의해 발생되는 단수구역을 탐색한 후, 수리해석 모의에 적용함으로써 현실적인 용수공급 상황을 모의할 수 있도록 개선되었다. 또한, EPANET3.0의 Full-PDA(Pressure driven analysis)를 이용함으로써 지진과 같은 비정상상황(다수관의 파손에 따른 압력저하)에서 좀 더 현실적인 수리해석이 가능하도록 개선되었다. 본 연구에서는 해당모형을 실제관망에 적용하여 제수밸브 설치개수 및 위치가 지진피해복구에 미치는 영향을 비교 분석하였으며, 또한 효율적인 지진피해복구 방안을 제시하였다.

Underground utility tunnel, the most representative cut and cover structure, is subjected to seismic force by displacement of the surrounding soil. In 2020, Korea Infrastructure Safety Corporation has published "Seismic Performance Evaluation Guideline for Existing Utility Tunnel." This paper introduces two seismic evaluation methods, RDM (Response Displacement Method) and RHA (Response History Analysis) adopted in the guide and compares the methods for an example of an existing utility tunnel. The test tunnel had been constructed in 1988 and seismic design was not considered. RDM is performed by single and double cosine methods based on the velocity response spectrum at the base rock. RHA is performed by finite difference analysis that is able to consider nonlinear behavior of soil and structure together in two-dimensional plane strain condition. The utility tunnel shows elastic behavior for RDM, but shows plastic hinge for RHA under the collapse prevention level earthquake.

Expandable steel pipe piles are installed by inserting expansion equipment to increase the cross-sectional area of steel pipes, which can improve the pile performance compared to micro-piles. In this paper, a hydraulic expansion device was developed to expand steel pipe piles in practice. A series of laboratory and field tests were conducted to verify the performance of the developed expansion device to expand steel pipes. The expansion capability and expandable range was evaluated by measuring the strain and expansion time at the maximum pressure of the hydraulic expansion device. The thinner steel pipe, the larger strain but longer expansion time required in the test. For example, the 4.0-mm-thick steel pipe showed strain reduction by 30% and a decrease in the required expansion time by 40% compared to the 2.9-mm-thick steel pipe. In addition, in-situ expansion tests were performed to verify the expandability of steel pipes under the ground, and the exhumed specimen showed clear expanded sections. The structural integrity was determined by comparing the material performance the original and expanded specimens.

Recently, environmental vibration by train operation has been getting such an attention that the ISO puts it into the environmental vibration regulation. However, the reasonable and efficient countermeasures against such a kind of vibration is not well established, especially in residential areas near the railroad. Therefore, it is very important to estimate the ground vibration induced by the train operation for the design and construction of track supporting structures as well as structures near the track. In this study a model estimating dynamic load on track due to train operation and analysis technique of propagation of ground vibration were developed. Futhermore, the estimated vibration from this model was compared with the actual measurement data in the field and found to be reasonably acceptable.

It has been known that the conventional retaining wall system with timber lagging and H pile has several problems such as the irregular gap between H-piles, cutting or adding to standard timber, back fill over first step excavation, and especially break-down accident at the disjoint of wall system. In the practical excavation, these problems may lead to worker's accident and the inefficiency of construction economy. To solve the above problems, a new method using prefabricated retaining wall was proposed and verified. The characteristics of the new method is to replace timber wall as free-sliding steel-lagging and connector. To check its verification and application, laboratory tests such as bending strength, tensile strength, and fatigue strength were carried out. Also, a pilot test in the field and numerical simulations under various ground conditions were performed. From the researches, it is found that the prefabricated retaining wall plate can be superior to the conventional timber lagging plate in the strength. It is also found that the proposed methods can be effective in the reuse of retaining wall plate and safe in the disjoint of wall system. Finally, it is desired that the proposed method will be effective in the reduction of the imported timbers and helpful in the safety of retaining wall construction.

Several studies have been conducted to analyze the risk of ground subsidence occurring in urban areas. Recently, the correlation between the density of underground utilities (i.e., the quantity of buried utilities in the analysis area) and the recorded ground subsidence has been explored to analyze such risk through. Choi et al. (2021) proposed an algorithm to optimize the correlation between the ground subsidence and normalized linear density of underground pipelines. In this study, the optimization algorithm was modified for analysis based on the risk grade. The analysis results using the modified optimization algorithm were compared with the correlation analysis results between the density of underground utilities and recorded ground subsidence presented by Choi et al. (2021). Compared with Choi et al. (2021), three analysis results showed equal or higher accuracy in the correlation analysis with recorded ground subsidence according to risk grade. In particular, for R100, it was divided into five grades and compared with the ratio of the recorded ground subsidence that occurred in grades 4 or higher. As a result, Choi et al. (2021) showed that 86% of recorded ground subsidence occurred in grades 4 or higher, whereas this study showed 93%. It was confirmed that the accuracy of the modified optimization algorithm was improved. The modified optimization algorithm can be applied to develop a ground subsidence risk map for each grade in an urban area, which can be used as basic data for decision-making for underground utility maintenance.

Lots of various utilities are buried under the surface. The effective management of underground utilities is becoming the very important subject for the harmonious administration of the city. Ground Penetrating Radar(GPR) survey including other various underground survey methods, is mainly used to detect the position and depth of buried underground utilities. However, GPR is not applicable, under the circumstances of shallow depth and places, where subsurface materials are inhomogeneous and are composed of clay, salt and gravels. The aim of this study is to overcome these limitations of GPR and other underground surveys. High-frequency electromagnetic (HFEM) method is developed for the non-destructive precise deep surveying of underground utilities. The method is applied in the site where current underground surveys are useless to detect the underground big pipes, because of poor geotechlical environment. As a result, HFEM survey was very successful in detecting the buried shallow and deep underground pipes and in obtaining the geotechnical information, although other underground surveys including GPR were not applicable. Therefore this method is a promising new technique in the lots of fields, such as underground surveying and archaeology.

There have been increased economic and societal demands to continuously monitor the integrity and long-term deterioration of civil infrastructures to ensure their safety and adequate performance throughout their life span. However, it is very difficult to continuously monitor the structural condition of the pipeline structures because those are placed underground and connected each other complexly, although pipeline structures are core underground infrastructures which transport primary sources. Moreover, damage can occur at several scales from micro-cracking to buckling or loose bolts in the pipeline structures. In this study, guided wave measurement can be achieved with a self-sensing circuit using a piezoelectric active sensor. In this self sensing system, a specific frequency-induced structural wavelet response is obtained from the self-sensed guided wave measurement. To classify the multiple types of structural damage, supervised learning-based statistical pattern recognition was implemented using the damage indices extracted from the guided wave features. Different types of structural damage artificially inflicted on a pipeline system were investigated to verify the effectiveness of the proposed SHM approach.

전 세계는 현재 이상기후와 국지적인 돌발호우 및 가뭄으로 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 우리나라도 예외가 아니어서 지난 겨울에 많은 폭설로 여러 지역에서 도로단절, 농작물 피해 및 공공 시설물의 파괴 등 날로 기후변화에 따른 피해가 증가하고 있다. 또한 지난 몇 해 전에도 강원도지역 가뭄으로 인한 식수 및 농업용수 부족으로 인근 지역의 식수원 및 농작물 피해를 겪어야만 했다. 이러한 수자원의 변화에 능동적으로 대처할 수 있는 방법은 여러 가지가 있겠으나, 대규모 저수지 및 랩을 신설하는 것이 가장 수자원확보에 용이한 방법이다 그러나, 대규모 저수지 및 댐을 건설할 수 있는 적지의 감소로 수자원확보가 예전보다 수월하지 않다. 이러한 대안으로 기존 수자원시설물의 개량 혹은 재개발로 수자원의 일부인 농업용수를 확보하는 경제적인 방안이 활용되고 있다. 농업용 저수지중 콘크리트 댐으로 구성된 제체 높이를 17.0m에서 3.1m 높여 20.1m로 증고하여, 환경용수를 포함한 유효저수량을 184만 $m^3$을 추가 확보하여 하류 수혜구역 485.9ha에 농업용수 공급 및 갈수기 하류하천의 환경용수를 제공할 수 있도록 계획하였다. 경상북도 남동단에 형산강 지류에 위치한 OO 저수지는 기계천을 중심으로 형산강에 도달하며 동쪽으로는 포항시 신광변, 북쪽으로는 포항시 죽장면과 경계를 이루고 있다. OO 저수지는 기존 저수지 콘크리트 범 상류면 보강 및 내측 덧쌓기, 하류면 보강 및 외측 덧 쌓기, 기존 저수지 하류에 신설탬을 설치하는 안으로 비교하여 결정하였으며, 저수지 제체 입지 여건 등을 종합적으로 비교 검토한 결과 콘크리트 댐 상류면에 보강 및 내측 덧쌓기 안이 가장 시공성에 있어 효율적이며 경제적이므로 선정하여 계획하였다.

This paper aims to present accurately analytical modeling method for underpinning using uncertainty reduction, obtained from comparison between numerical analysis and Site measuring data during construction and service stages. Combination of various conditions should be considered for using numerical analysis to predict the behavior of the structure accurately, even though complexly considered the conditions, real construction should be secured the stability by applying the actual instrument measurement data because predicted results are including the considerable uncertainty. In order to secure the stability during construction, the real time instrument measurements together with numerical analysis results performed before construction state are complementary used actively. From the results of this study, the significant settlements are occurred not only in underpass structure of adjacent excavation area but also in the permanent steel pipe structures were analyzed. From the site measurement results of underpass settlement, the settlements are occurred in every stages of excavation, furthermore observed tendency is asymmetrical excavation patterns are settled more than symmetrical excavation patterns. The essential consideration points for numerical analysis are construction sequence, the direction of the existing facilities, the methods of elements modeling, the applied factors for nature of material and different results would be occurred depending upon inputting the above factors.
