Flexible pipes (corrugated polyethylene pipes) are normally used for underground power distribution grids. In this paper, dynamic analysis was carried out through FEM in order to investigate the structural behaviour of pipes subjected to seismic loads. The burial depth and the number of pipes were major parameters in the numerical analysis to determine the response of pipes. The results show that the displacement of pipes under given conditions are all satisfactory in comparison of the allowable strain criteria -maximum 3.5 %.

High temperature and high pressure heavy water flows through the pipes in atomic power plants. The curved parts of pipes are critical parts in that they change the direction of steam flow, and these parts are especially affected by severe wear. Therefore, most pipes in atomic power plants are tested by non-destructive examination by workers who use ultrasonic sensors to measure the wall thickness of pipes. But not only are these pipes located in a very dangerous environment, but the space is also very limited. For the safety of workers, it is necessary to design a device that uses a mobile robot that can inspect curved pipes. This paper presents the design and construction of a small device that can generate the necessary contact forces between ultrasonic sensors and pipe walls in a limited space. And a mobile robot is used in place ortho worker for successful non-destructive examination.

Underground flexible pipes for electric cables are subject to external loads and surrounding soil pressure. Particularly, strain of flexible pipes is of great concern in terms of safety and maintenance for electric cables. In this paper, stress and strain of flexible pipes with various depth are calculated using traditional formula and FEM analysis. The results show that theoretical values are more conservative in strain whereas FEM analysis gives larger stress. Considering the strain criteria - 3.5 %, maximum, flexible pipes can be buried at the range of 50cm to 5m in depth without additional soil improvement.

파이프 골조 온실의 내구성 증대를 위하여 4가지의 부식방지 처리를 한 파이프를 실험온실 내부에 설치하여 20년경과 후 표면부식 상태와 강도 변화 실험을 실시하였다. 대기 중에 노출된 지상부위에서 무처리 파이프는 강도가 1.3%정도 줄었지만 다른 처리와의 차이는 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 지하 매설부위에서 중방식 처리한 파이프의 강도는 0.6%정도 줄어 거의 변화가 없었으나 무처리는 15.7% 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 방청 페인트나 아스팔트 도포는 4.2~4.4%정도 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 지상부위는 모든 시료에서 심한 부식상태를 보이지 않았다. 중방식 처리는 변화가 없었고, 방청페인트 처리도 녹은 발견되지 않고 약간의 변색만 있었다. 아스팔트 도포는 검게 변색되고 약간의 녹이 발견되었으며, 무처리는 표면의 20~30%정도가 녹슨 것으로 나타났다. 지하 매설부위 무처리 파이프의 경우에는 전체가 완전히 녹슬어 있었고, 아스팔트 도포한 파이프도 표면의 80~90%가 녹슬어 있었다. 방청페인트 처리는 20~30%정도 녹슬어 있었고, 중방식 처리는 거의 변화가 없었다. 중방식 처리는 지하 매설부위에서도 확실한 부식 방지 효과를 보이는 것을 확인할 수 있었고, 방청페인트 처리도 어느 정도 부식 방지 효과를 나타내고 있으므로 현장에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

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.

The purpose of this experiment is to determine the relations between numbers, arrangements and pumping rates of wells. In this experiment, well pipes were vertically set up in an artificial water-bearing sand layer of homogeneous quality. Wells were arranged in different ways and their number was varied in order to observe the variation of pumping rates. Sands were filled in a square tank, $183cm{\times}91.5cm{\times}91.5cm$ so as to secure a water-bearing layer. Water was constantly supplied from a supply tank located at an end of the tank. The number of well pipes was varied from one to four. Well pipes were connected by a horizontal header pipes were connected by a horizontal header pipe located above them and one pump was used. Pumping rates were measured, when they were arranged in longitudinal and lateral directions, They were also arranged in a square and triangle. The main results thus obtained are presented as follows: (1) When well pipes are laid out in a longitudinal line, i. e., in a flow direction, the ratios of pumping rates of one-pipe well and wells 2-, 3- and 4- pipe t, are 1.903, 2.506 and 2.66, respectively. (2) When well pipes are laid out in a lateral line, i.e., in a perpendicular direction to flow, the same ratios as (1) are 1.912, 2.527 and 2.88. (3) When four pipes are laid out in a square and three pipes are laid out in a triangle, pumping rates are deereased, Comparing with the cases when pipes are laid out in a straight line.

This paper studies on the behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) pipes used in basic sanitation in the conduction of storm water and sanitary sewer. Pipes with 800 mm and 1200 mm in diameter were analyzed. The 800 mm pipes were built with simple reinforcement and the 1200 mm pipes with double reinforcement. For the two diameters of pipes the presence or absence of the pocket was evaluated, and the denomination of each one is spigot and pocket pipe (SPP) and ogee joint pipe (OJP), respectively. The 3D numerical models reproduce the three-edge-bearing test that provides information about the strength and stiffness of the reinforced concrete pipes. The validation of the computational models was carried out comparing the vertical and horizontal displacements on the springline and crown/invert and it was also evaluated the reinforcement strains and the crack pattern. As a main conclusion, the numerical models represented satisfactorily the behavior of the pipes and can be used in future studies in parametric analysis.

도심지에는 상 하수관로, 가스관, 수소관 등 필요에 따라 여러 가지 배관이 매설된다. 매설된 배관은 시간이 경과됨에 따라 균열 등으로 노후화되면서 폭발, 누수 등의 사고 발생 위험을 가지게 된다. 이러한 위험을 방지하기 위해 많은 노후 배관 수리, 교체되지만, 배관의 위치 또한 변경될 수 있다. 변경된 배관의 위치를 확인하지 못하면 배관을 건드려서 사고가 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 GPR을 사용하여 지하 단면 영상을 얻고, Faster R-CNN을 활용하여 지하 배관의 위치를 추정해보고, augmentation을 적용하여 부족한 데이터를 늘려서 실험을 진행하였다.

The existing researches on the dynamics of the fluid-conveying pipes only focus on stability and vibration problems, and there is no literature report on the wave propagation of the fluid-conveying pipes. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to explore the propagation characteristics of longitudinal and flexural waves in the fluid-conveying pipes. First, it is assumed that the material properties of the fluid-conveying pipes vary based on a power function of the thickness. In addition, it is assumed that the material properties of both the fluid and the pipes are closely depended on temperature. Using the Euler-Bernoulli beam equation and based on the linear theory, the motion equations considering the thermal-mechanical-fluid coupling is derived. Then, the exact expressions of phase velocity and group velocity of longitudinal waves and bending waves in the fluid-conveying pipes are obtained by using the eigenvalue method. In addition, we also studied the free vibration frequency characteristics of the fluid-conveying pipes. In the numerical analysis, we successively studied the influence of temperature, functional gradient index and liquid velocity on the wave propagation and vibration problems. It is found that the temperature and functional gradient exponent decrease the phase and group velocities, on the contrary, the liquid flow velocity increases the phase and group velocities. However, for vibration problems, temperature, functional gradient exponent parameter, and fluid velocity all reduce the natural frequency.
