최근 지하공동구(Underground Common Utility Tunnels)는 도시민이 일상생활을 영위하는데 필요한 전기, 통신, 상수도, 도시 가스, 하수도뿐만 아니라 냉난방시설, 진공 집진관, 정보처리케이블 등의 시설물을 2종 이상 공동으로 수용하기 위한 지하시설물로서 국가의 중추기능을 담당하는 시설이지만, 화재 사고시 신속한 대처가 힘들고 각종 케이블 연소시 발생하는 유독가스 및 연기에 의해 공동구 내에 진입하여 진압하기가 힘들다. 따라서 화재발생시 막대한 재산피해 및 통신두절 등 국가의 중추신경이 마비됨은 물론 시민불편사항을 초래하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문은 지금까지 발생 되어온 국내,외 공동구 화재사례에서 화재발생의 주요원인으로 전기공사로 인한 합선 및 가연성케이블에 의한 열화접촉으로 화재가 발생하는 것이 대다수를 차지하고 있음에 착안하여 실제 공동구 모형을 제작하고 화재를 재현함으로서 과학적으로 화재의 성상을 분석하는데 그 목적이 있다. 화재실험은 지하공동구 내에 정온식 감지선형 감지기(Line type fixed temperature detector), 방화문(Fire door), 연결살수설비(Connection deluge set), 및 환기설비를 설치하고, 송 배전케이블은 일정구간 내화(Fireproof)도료로 도장하며, 난방관은 내화 피복된 상태에서 실험하였다. 그 결과 Type II의 경우 최고온도가 $932^{\circ}C$로 측정되었고, 일정한 온도에서 정온식감지선형감지기가 화재위치를 정확하게 수신반에 표시되었다. 그리고 Type III의 경우인 송 배전케이블은 일정구간 내화도료로 도장한 것은 내화성능이 없는 것으로 나타났고, 내화피복(Fireproof covered)된 난방관은 약 30분 정도의 내화성능이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 화재뮬레이션 결과는 실물화재시험시의 화재하중(Fire load)을 입력하여 실시한 결과로서 최고온도가 $943^{\circ}C$로 실물화재실험시의 $932^{\circ}C$와 거의 일치 하였다. 따라서 공동구 화재하중만으로 화재시뮬레이션을 실시하여 화재성상에 대한 예측이 가능한 것으로 판단되며 시뮬레이션으로 얻은 열방출률(Heat release rate), 연기층의 높이, 산소(O2), 일산화탄소(CO), 이산화탄소(CO2)의 농도 등의 결과 값들은 실제 화재실험시의 값으로 적용시킬 수 있는 것으로 판단된다. 향후 본 연구에서 구축한 국내 지하공동구 화재사고에 대한 실험자료 및 매년 지속적으로 화재사례들을 분석하여 축적하고 법 규정 및 관리 메뉴얼 등을 보완함으로써 국내 지하공동구 화재사고에 대한 보다 신뢰성 있는 정보를 제공해 줄 수 있을 것이며, 효과적이고 체계적으로 지하공동구의 신설 및 유지 관리 보수에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

The advancement of electronics and telecommunication technologies has forced the risk management system for underground metallic structures to evolve into the remote monitoring and control system. Especially, facilities such as gas pipelines, oil pipelines and water distribution lines might make hazardous effect on human safety without continuous monitoring and control. As a result, pipeline engineers have applied cathodic protection system to prevent the degradation of their facilities by corrosion and carried out a periodic monitoring of the pipe-to-soil (P/S) potentials at numberous test boxes along their pipelines. The latter action on a road in downtowns, however, is so much dangerous that the inspectors should be ready to suffer the threatening of their lives and maintenance. In order to minimize these social costs and hazards, a stand-alone type corrosion monitoring equipment which can be installed in test box, store the P/S data for given Belied and send the data by wired/wireless telecommunications is under development. In order to obtain the exact P/S data, however, a reference electrode should be located as close to the pipeline as possible. Actually, the measured potential by a conventional portable reference electrode contain inevitably an IR drop portion caused by the current flow from the cathodic protection rectifier or the subway railroad. To minimize this error, it is recommended that the reference electrode should be buried within 10 cm from the pipeline. In this paper, we describe the design parameters for fabricating the permanent type reference electrode and the characteristics of the developed reference electrode.

KEPCO's plan is undergoing a trial operation to replace the open-loop section with ring main units configuration where underground distribution lines are installed, by linking the multi-way circuit breakers auto (MCA) on the power side of each pad-mounted transformer. However, ring main units application mentioned above may cause the ripple effects, when implementing the configuration without a study of protection coordination. Because ring main units with classical pre-set protection devices contribution in fault condition didn't consider yet. For the reliable ring main units operation, it is necessary to resolve several protection issues such as the protection coordination with substation side, prevention of the transformer inrush current. These issues can radically deteriorate the distribution system reliability Hence, it is essential to design proper protection coordination to reduce these types of problems. This paper presents a scheme of ring main units' configuration and MCA's settings of time-current curves to preserve the performance of protection coordination among the switchgears considering constraints, e.g. prevention of the ripple effects (on the branch section when a transformer failure occurs and the mainline when a branch line failure occurs). It was confirmed that the propagation of the failure for each interrupter segment could be minimized by applying the proposed TCC and the interrupter settings for the MCAs (branch, transformer). Further, it was verified that the undetected area of the distribution automation system (DAS) could be supplemented by having the MCA configurated ring main units operate first, instead of the internal protection equipment in the transformer such as the fuse, STP when a transformer failure occurs.

In this paper, applicability of SI-PD(switching impulse - partial discharge) testing method was put on an attempt as a newly proposed diagnostic method for the underground distribution power cable system in Korea. For this purpose, SI-PD testing equipment was designed, and tests were performed using artificial needle-type defects integrated into the 22.9 kV CN/CV cables in drder to prove its reliability. As a result, arc noises, generated from spark gap, were considerably decreased by use of a pneumatic switch immersed into oil, and artificial needle-type defects were well detected with impulse voltage level under $2U_0$. These results imply that it is likely possible to apply SI-PD measurement method as a the nondistructive test for the 22.9 kV CN/CV cable system in Korea.

The transformer is major equipment in power receiving and substation facilities. Necessary conditions required for the transformer are compactness, lightness, high reliability, economic advantages, and easy maintenance. The pole-mount transformer installed in distribution system is acting direct role in supply of electric power and it is electric power device should drive for long term. Most of modem transformer are oil-filled transformer and accident is happening considerable. The mold transformers have been widely used in underground substations in large building and have some advantages in comparison to oil-transformer, that is low fire risk, excellent environmental compatibility, compact size and high reliability. In addition, the application of mold transformer for outdoor is possible due to development of epoxy resin. The mold transformer generally has cooling duct between low voltage coil and high voltage coil. A mold transformer made by one body molding method has been developed for small size and low loss. One body molding transformer needs some cooling method because heat radiation between each winding is difficult. In this paper, The thermal analysis of pole mount mold transformer with one body molding by duct condition is investigated and the test result of temperature rise is compared with simulation data.

A construction project is a designed product made up of labors, materials, and installations in the project positioned on the ground and may include the underground and ground section, and the section in water or on the water surface. It is a civil, industrial, transport, agricultural and rural development, infrastructure, or some other. A key phase in the life cycle of these construction projects is the implementation when building products are made directly with workers, equipment, materials, and managers. If there is a lack of management experience, information, and problem-solving solutions to tackle the risks faced by contractors, especially foreign ones, will fail in controlling the project's cost. This study was conducted with investigations, discussions, and evaluation of the factors that lead to cost overruns in the construction projects of international contractors in Vietnam. The principal component analysis (PCA) showed that those factors that influence cost overruns these construction projects fall into five general groups, including factors related to (i) the owners, (ii) the foreign contractors, (iii) the subcontractors and suppliers, (iv) state management, and (v) the project itself. Besides, the study proposes solutions to limit cost overruns in construction projects and improve the profitability of international contractors in Vietnam.

Drilling equipment is an essential part used in various fields such as construction, mining, etc., and it has drawn increasing attention in recent years. The drilling method is generally divided into three types. There are a top hammer method that strikes on the ground, a DTH (Down-The-Hole) method that directly strikes a bit in an underground area, and a rotary method that drills by using rotational force. Among them, the DTH method is most commonly used because it enables efficient drilling compared to other drilling methods. In the conventional DTH hammer, the valve between the piston and the bit is opened and closed using a face to face method. In order to improve the power of the DTH hammer, a DTH hammer with foot valve which is capable of instantaneous opening and closing is used in the drilling field. In this study, we designed a lab-scale DTH hammer with the foot valve, and manufactured an evaluation device for the experiment of the DTH hammer. In addition, we analyzed the performance of the DTH hammer adopted with foot valve according to the pressure range of 3-10 bar. As a result, the internal pressure distribution in the DTH hammer was experimentally analyzed, and then, the movement of the piston according to the pressure was predicted. We believe that this study provides the useful results to explain the performance characteristics of the DTH hammer with the foot valve.

상·하수도 시스템은 사람들에게 안전하고 깨끗한 물을 공급해주는 사회기반시설이며, 특히 상·하수도 관로는 지중에 매설되어 있기 때문에 시스템의 결함검출이 매우 어렵다. 이러한 이유로 상·하수도 관로의 진단은 관로 내부에 카메라 및 드론을 통한 촬영을 하여 사후에 촬영된 영상을 바탕으로 시스템 진단하는 등의 사후 결함검출로 제한되기 때문에, 작업자의 업무 효율 증대와 진단의 신속성을 위해서는 관로의 실시간 탐지기술이 필요하다. 최근 첨단장비 및 인공지능 기법을 활용한 시설물 진단 기술이 개발되고 있지만, 인공지능기반 결함검출 기술은 결함 데이터의 종류 및 형태, 수가 검출 성능에 영향을 주기 때문에 다양한 학습데이터가 필요하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 상·하수도 관로의 결함검출 시 탐지 성능 향상을 위해 다양한 결함 시나리오를 3D 프린트를 이용하여 구현하고 이를 수집된 결함 데이터와 함께 학습데이터로 사용한다. 이후 수집된 이미지는 위험도에 따른 분류 및 객체의 라벨링 등의 전처리 작업이 수행되고 실시간 결함탐지를 수행한다. 제안된 기법은 상·하수도시스템 결함검출 시 실시간 피드백을 제공함으로써, 작업자의 진단 누락 가능성을 최소화하며 기존의 상·하수도관 진단업무 처리능력을 향상할 수 있다.
