가스배관 사고의 대표적인 원인 중 하나는 기계적 충격(타공사 등)으로 인한 사고이다. 이는 국내 주요 산업단지에 매설되어 있는 고압가스배관의 대다수가 매설 시기가 20년 이상인 노후 배관이기 때문에 사고 발생 시 별도의 검사 및 보강 시간 없이 대형 사고로 이어질 가능성이 높다. 본 연구에서는 타공사(굴착공사) 실험을 통해 기계적 충격 시 배관에 미치는 결함 정도에 대해 연구하였다. 실제 산업단지에서 굴착공사 시 사용되고 있는 21 ton 굴착기와 ASTM A106 Grade.B와 ASTM A53 Grade.B 배관을 이용해 타격실험을 진행하였다. 그 결과 굴착기 작업에 이용되는 버켓 중 톱니 버켓 일 때 결함의 정도가 더 컷으며, 매설되어 있는 배관의 관경이 작을수록 결함의 깊이 및 길이가 큰 것을 확인하였다. 굴착기 작업 중 타격 높이는 매설 배관의 결함에 아무런 영향을 미치지 않는 것을 확인하였다.

지하에 매설된 상·하수의 노후화를 관리하기 위한 환경부와 국내 지자체의 노력이 이어지고 있다. 한국환경산업기술원의 상·하수 혁신 기술 개발사업 지원으로 노후화에 따른 사고예측 및 교환시기 관리, 신규 매설 배관에 스마트 기능을 적용하는 사업을 진행하고 있다. 이러한 연구의 하나로 본 논문에서는 전체 연구의 핵심 특징 중 하나인 디지털 트윈 기반 스마트 파이프 상태 모니터링을 위한 대시보드 개념 모델의 설계를 제안하였다. 원격 제어와 모니터링이 주요 기능 중 하나이기 때문에 분산 송수신 에이전트를 배치해 모니터링 상황을 실시간으로 시각화하고 직관적인 UI를 배치해 사용자 친화력을 높혔다. 이 제안된 특수 디지털 트윈 기반 스마트 파이프 상태 모니터링의 설계를 검증하기 위해 개념 모델 수준을 구성하고 에이전트 효과를 측정하여 우수성을 검증하였다.

해외 하천통과 매설배관 사고사례를 수집하여 분석하였다. 이는 국내 하천통과 도시가스매설배관의 합리적인 매설심도를 결정하기 위한 기본 자료로 활용하기 위함이다. 사고사례 조사결과 하천을 통과하는 천연가스매설배관 사고의 주요원인은 홍수로 분석되었다. 홍수에 의한 배관 노출 및 과도 유량에 의한 하중이 파손 원인인 경우가 많다. 파손발생 위치에서 부식이 발생한 것도 원인이 되었다. 따라서 국내 하천통과 매설배관의 합리적이고 효율적인 매설심도 결정을 위해서는 국내 하천특성에 맞는 하천의 수리학적 특성평가와 배관의 구조해석이 요구된다. 일반 천연가스배관의 사고사례 조사 결과도 주요 원인이 외부간섭과 부식임도 요약하였다. 이들 두 주요원인은 매설환경에 따라 전체사고에서 차지하는 비율이 차이가 있었다.

Previous major earthquakes revealed that most damage of the buried segmented pipelines occurs at the joints of the pipelines. It has been proven that the differential motions between the pipe segments are one of the primary reasons that results in the damage (Zerva et al. 1986, O'Roueke and Liu 1999). This paper studies the combined influences of ground motion spatial variations and local soil conditions on the seismic responses of buried segmented pipelines. The heterogeneous soil deposits surrounding the pipelines are assumed resting on an elastic half-space (base rock). The spatially varying base rock motions are modelled by the filtered Tajimi-Kanai power spectral density function and an empirical coherency loss function. Local site amplification effect is derived based on the one-dimensional wave propagation theory by assuming the base rock motions consist of out-of-plane SH wave or combined in-plane P and SV waves propagating into the site with an assumed incident angle. The differential axial and lateral displacements between the pipeline segments are stochastically formulated in the frequency domain. The influences of ground motion spatial variations, local soil conditions, wave incident angle and stiffness of the joint are investigated in detail. Numerical results show that ground motion spatial variations and local soil conditions can significantly influence the differential displacements between the pipeline segments.

This paper uses a finite element based approach to provide a comprehensive understanding to the behaviour and the design performance of buried uPVC pipes with different diameters. It also investigates pipes with good and poor haunch support and proposes minimum safe wall thicknesses for these pipes. The results for pipes with good haunch support showed that the maximum pipe wall stress and deformation increase as the diameter increased. The results for pipes with poor haunch support showed an increase in the dependency of the developed vertical displacement on the haunch support as the diameter or the backfill height increased. Additionally, poor haunch support was found to increase the soil pressure, with the effect increasing as the diameter increased. The design of uPVC pipes for both poor and good haunch support was found to be governed by critical buckling. A key outcome is a new design chart for the minimum wall thickness, which enables the robust and economic design of buried uPVC pipes. Importantly, the methodology adopted in this study can also be applied to the design of flexible pipes manufactured from other materials, buried under different conditions and subjected to different loading arrangements.

This study presents the attenuation characteristics of the first guided longitudinal wave mode propagating in water-filled, buried steel pipes in order to investigate the effects of soil saturation and compaction on the attenuation patterns. For numerical calculation of attenuation, 10 different combinations of S-wave velocity, P-wave velocity, and soil densities were considered. From the attenuation dispersion curves, which were obtained using Disperse software, we determined that the attenuation decreases as saturation increases, whereas it increases as compaction increases. Over the frequency range from 0.2 to 0.4 MHz, the first longitudinal wave mode has attenuations that are relatively lower than for other ranges, is faster than the first flexural wave mode, and is sensitive to defects aligned in the axial direction. Hence, the first longitudinal wave mode over the mentioned frequency range would be the proper choice for long-range buried pipelines that transport water.

Response analysis of buried pipeline subjected to permanent ground deformation(PGD) due to liquefaction is mainly executed by use of numerical analysis or semi-analytical relationship, When applying these methods, so called interfacial pipelineㆍsoil interaction force plays an dominant part. Currently used interaction force is mode up of indispensable mechanical and physical components for the response analysis of buried pipeline. However, it has somewhat limited applicability to the liquefied region since it is based on the experimental results for the non-liquefied region. Therefore, in this study, improved type of pipelineㆍsoil interaction force is proposed based on the existing interaction force and experimental research accomplishments. Above all, proposed interaction force includes various patterns of PGD or spatial distributions of interaction force caused by the decrease of soil stiffness. Through the comparison of numerical results using the proposed and the existing interaction force, relative influences of interaction force on the response of pipeline are evaluated and noticeable considerations in the application of semi-analytical relationship are discussed. Moreover, analyses due to the change of pipe thickness and burial depth are performed.

In present, most of metallic structures(gas pipeline, oil pipeline, water pipeline, etc) are running parallel with subway and power line in seoul. Moreover subway system and power line make a stray current due to electrical corrosion on metallic structures. The owner of metallic structures has a burden of responsibility for the protection of corrosion and the prevention against big accident such as gas explosion or soil pollution and so on. So, they have to measure and analyze the data about P/S(Pipe to Soil) potential due to stray current of subway system. So, we have developed the Real-time Wireless Remote Monitoring System for Stray Current of Subway System. In this system, the permanent buried type reference electrode is necessary. In this paper, results of development of buried type reference electrode using porous ceramic$({\alpha}-Al_{2}O_{3})$ are presented.

3D FEM modeling based on 3D CAD data has been performed to evaluate the efficiency of CP system in a real operating nuclear power plant. The results of it successfully produced sophisticated profiles of electrolytic potential and current distributions in the soil of an interested area. This technology is expected to be a breakthrough for detection technology of damages on buried pipes when it comes into combining with a brand of area potential earth current (APEC) and ground penetrated radar (GPR) technologies. 2D current distribution and 2D current vectors on the earth surface from the APEC survey will be used as boundary conditions with exact 3D geometry data resulting in visualization of locations and extents of corrosion damages on the buried pipes in nuclear power plants.

Since buried pipes contact the soil directly, corrosion by the soil could be occurred. Recently, some stainless steel pipes after 8 years burial at G area were corroded and leaked. In order to elucidate highly corroded phenomena(its rate was about 0.175 mm/y) of these pipes, the investigation for corrosion environment, soil, stray current's effect, and chemical analysis on the pipes were performed. Most of investigated sites were close to traditional water-closet and showed high moisture and thus those areas could be highly corrosive. In the investigation by two kinds of soil evaluation methods, it was revealed that the soils at G areas were highly corrosive, and moreover the contents of sulfate reducing bacteria in the soils were high. Also, open circuit potentials of many pipes showed different values and its potentials were high positive. Therefore, it was considered that corrosion of buried pipes at G area could be affected by high corrosive soil's environment and stray current corrosion.
