송수관이나 배수관은 계획된 필요유량을 특정 지점까지 안전하게 전달할 수 있도록 설계되지만 여러 가지원인으로 인하여 갑작스런 파열이나 균열이 일어난다. 파이프 파괴의 원인으로는 수격현상, 관의노화, 파이프 외부로부터의 충격, 흙의 상태, 그리고 파이프 설치시의 공사여건 등이 있다. 본 연구에서 여러 가지 요인들을 불확실성 인자로 가정하여 파이프의 파괴확률을 산정할 수 있는 신뢰성 해석 모형이 개발되었다. 상수관망의 설계 시 파이프의 두께를 산정하는 주 장력 공식을 이용하여 신뢰함수를 만들고 파이프의 파괴확률을 계산하였다. 신뢰함수를 구성하는 확률변수들 중 파이프의 내압에 대한 분포함수는 정규분포가 아닌 극치분포(Gumbel distribution)를 따른다는 것을 부정류 수치해석 결과로서 알 수 있었고 AFDA(Approximate Full Distribution Approach) 기법을 사용하여 파괴확률을 산정하였다. 신뢰성 모형을 이용하여 파이프의 두께, 직경, 허용응력, 그리고 파이프 내압에 따른 파괴확률을 정량적으로 산정할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 개발된 신뢰성 해석모형을 이용하여 보다 안전하고 경제적인 송배수관의 설계기법을 구축할 수 있을 것이다.

Numerical model which can simulate the surge tank for unsteady flow was developed in the present study. Furthermore, reliability model which can calculate the probability of pipe breakage regarding unsteady effect was developed. For the risk estimation of pipe breakage and functional estimation of surge tank, probability of pipe breakage for pipe network with surge tank was calculated regarding unsteady effect. From the results, it was found that unsteady flow significantly increase the probability of pipe breakage and surge tank considerably decrease probability of pipe breakage as damping out the pressure oscillations.

In this study, laboratory model test was performed to estimate pullout behavior of pipe type anchor with surface roughness, embedment and diameter. The design of buried pipe anchors in areas of vertical ground movement is governed, in part, by magnitude of the forces imposed on the pipe and displacements at which they are developed. In this paper, uplift resistance and displacement characteristics of pipe anchors caused by ground condition and embedment ratio, surface roughness, pipe diameter through the analysis of pipe anchor model test were compared and analyzed. The test results of the buried pipe showed that as the relative density increases, ultimate uplift resistance increase in 20%. When pipe anchor is failed with the relative density of the ground, the change of surface roughness, it was shown that the deformation increases as the ratio of penetration increases from 2 to 8 in five times approximately. And most anchor-based theories overestimate the breakout factor.

1) 수치해석 결과, 운용압력으로 인한 엘보우에서의 응력은 재료의 강도에 비해 파손을 발생시 키기에는 상대적으로 작았고, 오히려 온도차에 의한 열응력이 내압에 의한 응력보다 매우 컸다. 즉 축방향 열응력은 운용압력에 의한 것보다 두배 더 크게 나타났다. 2) 파면의 육안 검사 결과, 급격한 파손은 취성 벽개 파괴로 인한 것으로 추측된다. 3) 시험 결과 균열이 시작하여 임계 크기로 진전한 부위인 K사에서 만든 엘보우는 S사에서 만든 것보다 훨씬 더 취성적임을 보여 주었다. 4) 임계 균열크기를 계산하기 위해 파괴 역학적 해석을 사용하는데 그 결과는 파손된 면에서 관 찰한 실제 균열 크기와 상당히 일치하였다. 5) 유사한 사고를 방지하기 위하여, 플랜트를 가동하는 동안 계속적으로 파괴 역학적 개념을 적 용해야 한다. 또한 운용전과 운용중에 잘 준비된 비파괴검사법을 사용하여야 한다.

에너지자원(석유, 천연가스, 전기) 이송과 정보전달(해저광케이블)을 위한 다양한 형태의 해저 매설관이 해저면에 설치되어 운영이 되고 있다. 이들 매설관은 지진 또는 해저사면의 유실과 같은 자연재해로 인해 파괴되는 일들이 빈번하게 발생되고 있다. 그 외 태풍 등에 의해 발생되는 파랑하중에 의해서도 이들 매설관이 종종 파괴되는 일이 발생되기도 한다. 태풍 등에 의한 파랑하중은 해저지반에 과다한 과잉간극수압을 발생시켜 지반 액상화를 유발 세굴을 발생시키는데 이로 인해 매설관 하부에는 과도한 인장응력이 유발되어 매설관의 파괴 문제가 야기된다. 만약 석유수송 해저매설관이 파괴되면 경제적?산업적 측면에서 직접적인 피해 이외에도 해양환경에 미치는 영향은 매우 크다고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 파랑하중에 의한 해저매설관 주변 지반의 거동 분석 및 안정성 평가에 관한 연구가 요구된다.

Deformation behavior and stability of vertical pipeline subjected to underground excavation have been studied by means of numerical analysis. Vortical ground displacements cause the pipe to be compressed, while horizontal ones cause it to be bent. In that region the vertical pipeline meets with the induced compressive stress and bending stress. In addition horizontal rock stress subjected to underground excavation may press the tube in its radial direction and it finally produces the tangential stress of pipe. In this study active gas well system is considered as an example of vertical pipelines. Factor analysis has been conducted which has great influence on the pipeline behavior. Three case studies are investigated which have the different pillar widths and gas well locations in pillar. For example, where overburden depth is 237.5 m and thickness of coal seam is 2.5 m, chain pillar of 45.8 m width in the 3-entry longwall system is proved to maintain safely the outer casing of gas welt which is made of API-55 steel, 10$\frac{3}{4}$ in. diameter and 0.4 in. thickness. Finally an active gas well which was broken by longwall mining is analyzed, where the induced shear stress turn out to exceed the allowable stress of steel.

Water pipes are supposed to deliver the predetermined demand safely to a certain point in water distribution system. However, pipe burst or crack can be happened due to so many reasons such as the water hammer, natural pipe ageing, external impact force, soil condition, and various environments of pipe installation. In the present study, the reliability model which can calculate the probability of pipe breakage was developed regarding unsteady effect such as water hammer. For the reliability model, reliability function was formulated by Barlow formula. AFDA method was applied to calculate the probability of pipe breakage. It was found that the statistical distribution for internal pressure among the random variables of reliability function has a good agreement with the Gumbel distribution after unsteady analysis was performed. Using the present model, the probability of pipe breakage was quantitatively calculated according to random variables such as the pipe diameter, thickness, allowable stress, and internal pressure. Furthermore, it was found that unsteady effect significantly increases the probability of pipe breakage. If this reliability model is used for the design of water distribution system, safe and economical design can be accomplished. And it also can be effectively used for the management and maintenance of water distribution system.

In this study, the stability of trench slope was analysed in summer and winter seasons for the construction of pipelines in permafrost regions. The construction standards of Korea, Russia and UK were compared for obtaining an optimum trench shape for a pipeline of 30 in. diameter. Using the geotechnical properties of soil in Yakutsk (Russia), the stability of trench slope was analysed using Strength Reduction Method (SRM) according to the horizontal slope angle values of $0^{\circ}$, $10^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$ and $30^{\circ}$ and vertical slope angle values of $20^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$ and $40^{\circ}$. In both seasons, an increase in the slope angle results in a decrease in the factor of safety. The results show that horizontal slope angle of $30^{\circ}$ was not safe in summer season. At the vertical slope angle of $20^{\circ}$, trench side failure was observed, whereas, ground slope failure was observed at the vertical slope angles of $30^{\circ}$ and $40^{\circ}$. Due to the solidification of pore water at temperatures below $0^{\circ}C$, cementation of soil particles take place. Therefore, the trench slope was found to be stable in the winter season at all vertical and horizontal slop angles, except for special load cases and abrupt temperature changes.

Reliability evaluations of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) pipe with respect of thermal exposure time have been investigated in accordance with RS M 0042, which is a reliability standard for polymer pipe. As the thermal exposure time is prolonged, a progressive increase, until 250 days, in tensile strength and a slight increase in hardness are observed, while a proportional decrease in elongation at break is showed. These results can be explained by the increase of crystallinity, followed by the increase of crosslinking density, chain scission and the decrease in chain mobility, due to thermal oxidation as the exposure time increases. Long term hydrostatic pressure test result implies the existence of transition point from ductile to brittle fracture. Oxidation induction time (OIT) test is employed to monitor the thermo-oxidative degradation of LLDPE pipe. This result shows that after the exposure time is 250 days, the depletion of antioxidants added in LLDPE pipe occurs. An empirical equation as function of exposure time, under $100^{\circ}C$ thermal-degradation condition, is proposed to assess the remaining amount of antioxidants owing to thermo-oxidative degradation. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results show the increase of carbonyl (-C=O) and hydroxyl (O-H) function groups on the surface of thermally exposed LLDPE pipe. This result suggests that the hydrocarbon groups locally undergo the oxidation on the LLDPE surface due to thermal-degradation.
