본 연구는 지진격리장치가 적용된 파이핑 시스템에서 빌딩과 같은 구조요소의 상호작용에 의한 동적 거동을 분석하고자 기존 복층구조 파이핑 시스템과 빌딩시스템에 triple friction pendulum이 적용된 격리장치를 적용 하였다. 파이핑 시스템의 시간이력해석에 의한 동적거동 평가를 위해 OpenSees를 이용하여 지진격리된 빌딩 및 파이핑시스템의 수치해석모델을 구축하였으며, 또한 파이핑시스템의 경우 ceiling system and supporting system 등과 같은 요소로 구분하여 유한요소모델을 구축하였다. 결과적으로 지진격리장치가 적용된 빌딩-파이핑 시스템의 경우 각층의 drift 및 변위가 일정한 반면 비 적용된 시스템의 경우 층 가속도에 의한 구조물의 변위가 빌딩층에 따라 상당히 증가함을 볼 수 있다.

In this paper, we propose a prototype system of digital data broadcasting system based on the ATSC data broadcasting standard. This prototype system uses data piping as a mechanism for delivery of arbitrary user-defined data inserted directly into the payload part of the MPEG-2 Transport Stream packets. This data type includes URL or HTML content. After the contents are inserted into the MPEG-2 Transport Stream, they can be delivered through the broadcasting to the DTV set-top receiver. The 75 packets received in real-time during the TV broadcast are used to start display or switch content. This prototype system describes how to achieve common design goals and integrating digital TV and web pages based on the ATSC data broadcasting standard. The prototype system can be used to display digital data contents - HTML, images-on existing TV or digital TV set-tops.

The deep geological repository for high-level radioactive waste disposal is a multi barrier system comprised of engineered barriers and a natural barrier. The long-term integrity of the deep geological repository is affected by the coupled interactions between the individual barrier components. Erosion and piping phenomena in the compacted bentonite buffer due to buffer-rock interactions results in the removal of bentonite particles via groundwater flow and can negatively impact the integrity and performance of the buffer. Rapid groundwater inflow at the early stages of disposal can lead to piping in the bentonite buffer due to the buildup of pore water pressure. The physiochemical processes between the bentonite buffer and groundwater lead to bentonite swelling and gelation, resulting in bentonite erosion from the buffer surface. Hence, the evaluation of erosion and piping occurrence and its effects on the integrity of the bentonite buffer is crucial in determining the long-term integrity of the deep geological repository. Previous studies on bentonite erosion and piping failed to consider the complex coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical behavior of bentonite-groundwater interactions and lacked a comprehensive model that can consider the complex phenomena observed from the experimental tests. In this technical note, previous studies on the mechanisms, lab-scale experiments and numerical modeling of bentonite buffer erosion and piping are introduced, and the future expected challenges in the investigation of bentonite buffer erosion and piping are summarized.

Because of the rapid rising of water related disasters due to the global warming, the extreme design criteria of levee construction for severe flood has been applied in several developed countries such as USA and Netheland. In Korea, the national river restoration projects were carried out on 4 major rivers in recent several years. The projects consisted of riverbed dredge and levee reinforcement, and new construction have caused wide change of river environment. However, concrete countermeasures for levee safety and river management have not been suggested until now. Therefore, this study assesses the levee safety of Yulji levee located in Hoechon, Nakdong Basin, where the Levee Seepage Monitoring System installed. The stability of levee is assessed based on the simulation performed by SEEP/W(2D unsaturated seepage model) and the simulated results are compared with the observed data. The effects of the flood wave and levee shape on the levee safety are investigated through several simulations.

Bentonite buffer material is an important component of engineered barrier designed for the safe disposal of high-level radioactive waste. Under certain groundwater conditions, erosion or piping phenomena of the material can happen, which may compromise the overall safety of the whole engineered barrier system. Previous domestic researches related to it have been conducted at a laboratory scale so that those are subject to some limitations, despite their valuable results. Therefore, KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) has planned the BEPT (Bentonite Erosion and Piping Test) to extend and validate the previous works at a field conditions. Prior to detailed experimental design, case studies that had been conducted by leading countries in disposal research were collected and analyzed. The analyses included suitable site conditions and system design, which were incorporated into the detailed design of BEPT. This technical report aims to introduce the previous researches and the current status of the ongoing BEPT experiment.

In this paper, we study the applicability of Tuned Mass Damper(TMD) to improve seismic performance of piping system under earthquake loading. For this purpose, a mode analysis of the target pipeline is performed, and TMD installation locations are selected as important modes with relatively large mass participation ratio in each direction. In order to design the TMD at selected positions, each corresponding mode is replaced with a SDOF damped model, and accordingly the corresponding pipeline is converted into a 2-DOF system by considering the TMD as a SDOF damped model. Then, optimal design values of the TMD, which can minimize the dynamic amplification factor of the transformed 2-DOF system, are derived through GA optimization method. The proposed TMD design values are applied to the pipeline numerical model to analyze seismic performance with and without TMD installation. As a result of numerical analyses, it is confirmed that the directional acceleration responses, the maximum normal stresses and directional reaction forces of the pipeline system are reduced, quite a lot. The results of this study are expected to be used as basic information with respect to the improvement of the seismic performance of the piping system in the future.

우리나라에서는 대하천정비사업을 통해 주요 국가하천마다 보와 제방을 신설 및 보축하여 홍수의 방어 및 예방에 힘을 기울이고 있으며, 근래에는 이러한 정비사업이 완료되어 가고 있는 상황이다. 제방에 대한 정비사업의 내용은 보축 및 신설이 주를 이루나, 제내지의 성토와 제외지의 보강 및 저수로의 준설 등도 함께 수행되었다. 이러한 정비사업의 영향으로 지하수 및 하천의 흐름양상은 정비사업 전과는 다르게 변화 될 것으로 추정되며, 이는 제방 안정성에 영향을 줄 수 있는 중요한 문제로 판단된다. 따라서, 이와 같은 지하수 및 하천흐름의 변화양상이 제방의 안정성에 얼마나 영향을 미칠 수 있는지 정량적으로 분석할 필요가 있을 것으로 보인다. 특히, 대하천정비사업으로 지반누수를 방지하기 위한 제내지 성토나 퇴사제거를 위한 하천준설 등이 수행되면서 제방의 외적인 환경들이 많이 변하게 되었으나 이에 대한 정량적인 연구들이 거의 수행되지 않은 것으로 판단된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 낙동강과 회천 합류부에 위치한 율지제를 대상으로 이곳에 설치된 간극수압계의 데이터와 2차원 침투해석 프로그램인 SEEP/W를 이용하여 제내지와 제외지 표고변화에 따른 파이핑 안정성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 제내지 표고가 상승하면 파이핑 안전율이 증가하고 표고가 하강하면 안전율은 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 제외지의 표고변화는 제방안정성에 거의 영향을 주지 않으며 오히려 하천수위의 영향을 지배적으로 받는 것으로 판단된다. 따라서, 제방안정성을 확보하기 위해서는 기초지반의 경우, 제내지측을 상승시키고 하천수위를 하강하는 것이 효과적일 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose: The evaluation of seismic performance of critical structures has been emerging a key issue in Korea, since a magnitude 5.8 earthquake, the worst in Koran history, struck Gyeongju, southern area in Korea on september 12th, 2016. In particular, the catastrophic failure of nonstructural components such as sprinkler piping systems can cause significant economic loss or loss of life during and after an earthquake. The nonstructural components can be more fragile than structural components in seismic behavior. Method: This study presents the seismic performance evaluation of fire protection piping system, using coupled building-piping system installed with Triple Friction Pendulum Bearings (TPBs). Kobe (Japan), Kocaeli (Turkey), and GyeongJu (Korea) were selected to consider the uncertainty of ground motions in this study. Result: In the simulation results, it was observed that the reduction of maximum displacements of the piping system with the TPBs' system was significant: Kobe, Kocaeli, and Gyeongju cases were 49%, 14.4% and 21.5%, respectively. Conclusion: Therefore, using seismically isolated system in a building-piping system can be more effective to reduce the seismic risk than a normally installed building-piping systems without TPBs in strong earthquakes.

Fire protection (sprinkler) piping system is an essential element for the energy supply and for the protection against the seismic-induced fire during and after an earthquake. The primary objective of this study was to understand the seismic performance of complex two-story piping system installed in a low-rise building subjected to bi-directional and three-directional earthquakes. The result of current study revealed that the displacement of the piping system in accordance with floor level was significantly different due to acceleration-sensitivity but the effect of the piping system due to the vertical direction earthquake was not significant.

흙필터는 일반적으로 침식이나 파이핑으로부터 지반 구조물을 보호하기 위하여 사용된다. 세립자들이 유동하여 필터에 퇴적하는 폐색현상이 발생하는 경우, 간극수압이 증가하고 이로 인해 지반구조물의 불안정을 유발시키게 된다. 미세입자의 유동에 의한 폐색현상은 옹벽의 뒤채움재에 설치한 필터, 흙댐의 저부에 설치된 필터, 그리고 터널의 라이닝 뒤에 설치한 필터 등에서 발생할 수 있다. 폐색현상은 필터의 투수능을 저하시켜 배수능력에 상당한 위험을 초래할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 필터의 폐색으로 인한 투수능 저하 정도를 실험을 통해 관찰하고 이론적인 모델을 통해 정량화 시키고자 하였다. 일정한 농도의 현탁액이 필터로 유입되는 분리형 실험과 현장상태를 모사하는 흙-필터 시스템의 결합형 실험을 통해 투수능의 저하현상이 압력 제어조건과 유량 제어조건에서 관찰되었고, 서로 비교 분석되었다. 미세입자가 통과하는 필터의 간극을 모세관으로 가정한 후 모세관에서 유체의 흐름 원리를 이용하여 물리적인 폐색에 의해 발생하는 투수능 저하현상을 이론적인 모델로 구성하였다. 일반적으로 투수능은 1/10 수준으로 감소되었으며, 분리형 실험에 의한 결과와 이론적인 모델의 결과는 잘 일치하였다. 또한, 결합형 실험결과와 분리형 실험결과가 비교적 잘 일치하여 투수능 저하예측은 분리형 실험이나 이론적 모델에 의하여 가능하리라 판단되었다.
