With the wide spread of direct current (DC) electric railroads in Korea, the stray currents or leakage currents from negative return rails become a pending problem to the safety of nearby underground infrastructures. The most widely used mitigation method for this interference is the stray current drainage method, which connects the underground metallic structures to the rails with diodes (polarized drainage) or thyristor (forced drainage). Although this method inherently possesses some drawbacks, its cost effectiveness and efficiency to protect the interfered structures has been the main reason for the wide adoption. In this paper, we show the field test results for the application of stray current drainage system to a city gas pipeline paralleling a depot area of a metropolitan rapid transit system. The process for optimal positioning is briefly illustrated. The effectiveness of constant voltage, constant current, and constant potential drainage schemes was also described.

Leak noise is a good source to identify the exact location of a leak point of underground water pipelines. Water leak generates broadband noise from a leak location and can be propagated to both directions of water pipes. This sound propagation due to leak in water pipelines is not a non-dispersive wave any more because of the surrounding pipes and soil. However, the necessity of long-range detection of this leak location makes to identify low-frequency acoustic waves rather than high frequency ones. Acoustic wave propagation coupled with surrounding boundaries including cast iron pipes is theoretically analyzed and the wave velocity was confirmed with experiment. The leak locations were identified both by the acoustic emission (AE) method and the cross-correlation method. In a short-range distance, both the AE method and cross-correlation method are effective to detect leak position. However, the detection for a long-range distance required a lower frequency range accelerometers only because higher frequency waves were attenuated very quickly with the increase of propagation paths. Two algorithms for the cross-correlation function were suggested, and a long-range detection has been achieved at real underground water pipelines longer than 300m.

도심지에서 발생하는 지반함몰의 위험도를 분석하고 예측 및 예방하기 위한 연구가 다양하게 진행되었다. 기존의 연구 중에 지하매설물의 밀도(즉, 대상 공간 주변 지중에 설치된 매설물의 공간적인 물량)와 지반함몰 발생의 상관성을 활용한 위험도 분석 연구는 미비하다. 본 논문에서는 GIS기반 공간정보 데이터를 활용하여 지하에 설치되어 있는 매설물의 선형밀도(line density)를 분석하고, 이를 이력지반함몰 발생 현황과 연계하는 연구를 수행하였다. 분석 대상 지역에 대하여 2010~2015년 사이에 발생한 29개 이력지반함몰과 6종 지하매설물 선형밀도의 상관관계를 극대화하기 위한 최적화 알고리즘을 개발하였고, 보편적인 분석을 위해 정규선형밀도의 개념을 제안하였다. 분석 대상 지역의 정규선형밀도를 5개 등급(1등급 최저, 5등급 최고)으로 구분하였으며, 최적화 알고리즘을 적용할 경우 이력지반함몰 위치에서 정규선형밀도가 4등급 이상인 경우가 약 80%이상으로 나타났다. 제안된 최적화 알고리즘을 활용하여 지하매설물의 밀집도 분석 결과를 지반함몰 위험도 분석에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

매설배관은 내부 또는 외부의 결함으로 인하여 leak나 rupture가 발생 할 수 있으며, 가스가 누출 시 큰 사고가 발생할 수 있기 때문에 정량적 위험성평가를 통한 분석이 필요하다. 하지만 현재 매설배관에 대한 위험성 평가시 매설을 고려하지 않거나, 매설 깊이를 고려하지 않고 무조건 배관압력의 1/10으로 가정하는 OGP기준을 사용하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 여러 기관의 매설배관 ETA분석자료를 통하여 발생가능 사고 중 Jet fire의 사고피해영향을 분석하였으며, Jet fire의 복사열 계산에 있어서 배관의 매설깊이 인자를 고려한 매설모델을 수립하였다. 사례연구는 New Jersey의 Edison지역에서 발생한 사고를 이용하여 본 모델과 OGP모델을 비교 분석하였다. 연구결과 화염원으로부터 10m거리를 기준으로 매설모델의 복사열 값이 OGP모델에 비해 실제 사례와 비슷한 값을 얻을 수 있었다.

This work investigates the vibrational characteristics of the underground gas pipelines. Experiments were conducted to analyze the effects of various parameters on the vibrational characteristics from the emergency detection point of view. Influences of the various types of impact exerted on the pipe, height of free fall and measuring locations were analyzed. Especially, the difference between the vibrational signal generated by the direct impact on the pipe and the ambient noise was successfully identified. To validate the experimental observation, computer simulation was also performed with constant properties(elasticity, fluid velocity and internal pressure) which are directly conjectured from the accompanying experiment with a real pipe system.

Direct current corrosion have being investigated by lots of scientists but Alternating current corrosion was ignored because the corrosion rate by AC was very small. Recently however, AC corrosion accidents have been reported in many other countries. So the study of AC corrosion is to be necessary in these days. In this paper, several experiments which intentionally imposed the AC or DC to the specimens also imposed AC and DC at the same time was carried out in the laboratory to examine the AC corrosion characteristics and in addition applied the same way in the field. Moreover, while the field investigations of the abnormal corrosion failures. It was the AC that caused one of corrosion failures.

This study aims to find out the best anode location for buried pipelines. Numerical simulation program known as CATPRO (Elsyca, Belgium) were used for confirming the best location of anodes and the effects of impressed current cathodic protection system. Applied conditions for numerical simulation were similar to on-site environmental conditions for optimal application of cathodic protection system. Used criterion of cathodic protection was NACE SP 0169, which describes that minimum requirement for cathodic protection is -850mV vs. CSE. Various layouts for anodes' installation were applied, which were distance between anodes, anode installation location, and applied current. The areas where cathodic protection potential was lower than -850mV vs. CSE was limited up to 50m from anode installation locations. It was founded numerical analysis obtain cost-effective and efficient cathodic protection methods before design and application the impressed cathodic protection system to on-site environment.

The several water resources are showed recently the various pollution types due to the industrialization and the disarranged district development. The living waste water, plant waste water and so are contaminated continuously and the recycling water is concerned highly to save the cost and to improve the environment as the general people. The dust and the heavy metal in the air and the acid rain are contaminating the river water and the underground water. The clean environment is on the rise to the general people and is to be the social problems. There is going to complement and repair the water supplying and fire extinguishing pipeline to save the construction cost and improve the environment in the construction facilities parts. Therefore, in this paper the recycling water treatment/supply apparatus using the living waste water is considerated technically and is raised on the practical uses.
