This study is performed for propose that exactly equivalent length of TBP in the applied at water-based fire protection system. For predict the measuring position of equivalent length, we determined the measuring position using the FVM about pressure drop of TBP. For the reckon of the exact about measured value we compared with the result of FVM and we knew the similar value each other. Using the results we proposed the friction loss measuring position that inlet of main dirction is 20 times of appellation diameter in main pipe, outlet of main dirction is 10 times of appellation diameter in main pipe and outlet of branched direction is 20 times of appellation diameter.

The orifice in the propellent feeding pipe line of a Liquid Rocket Engine(LRE) is used to balance the pressure of the pipe line. When a LRE starts up, pressure at the upstream of the orifice rapidly increases. In this case, pressure waves occuring by resistance of the orifice may induce low frequency instability in the pipe line. For this reason the study of dynamic characteristics of orifices is needed to prevent the instability. A pump is used to build up the pressure, and the pressure is measured upstream and downstream of the orifice when the orifice diameter is changed. With the increase of orifice diameter, water hammer decreases, but the effect of resistance downstream is increases.

Using the large diameter (D ＝ 2,500mm, L ＝ 40m) batter steel pipe piles, designed as compression piles but used as reaction piles during the static compression load test of socketed test piles (D ＝ 1,000mm, L ＝ 40m), static pile load tests for large diameter instrumented rock-socketed piles were performed. The reaction steel pipe piles were driven 20m into the marine deposit and weathered rock layer and then l0m socketed with reinforced concrete through the weathered rock layer and into hard rock layer. Steel pipe and concrete in the steel pile part, and concrete and rebars in the socketed parts were instrumented to measure strains in each part. The pullout amounts of reaction pile heads were also measured with LVDT. During the static pile load test, total compressional load of about 20MN was loaded on the head of test piles, but load above 20MN was not loaded due to lack of loading capacity of loading system. Over the course of the study, maximum pullout amount up to 7mm was measured in the heads of reaction piles when loaded op to 10MN and 1mm of pullout amount was measured. More than 85% of pullout load was transfered in the residual weathered rock layer and about 10% in the soft rock layer, which was somewhat different transfer mechanism in the static compressional load tests.

In this study, the physical properties and fracture characteristics according to the tensile load are evaluated on the materials of the polymeric filler and carbon fiber-based composite sleeve technique. The polymeric filler and the composite sleeve technique are applied to areas where the pipe body thickness is reduced due to corrosion in large-diameter water pipes. First, the tensile strength of the polymeric filler was 161.48~240.43 kg_f/cm², and the tensile strength of the polyurea polymeric filler was relatively higher than that of the epoxy. However, the tensile strength of the polymeric filler is relatively very low compared to ductile cast iron pipes(4,300 kg_f/cm²<) or steel pipes(4,100 kg_f/cm²). Second, the tensile strength of glass fiber, which is mainly used in composite sleeves, is 3,887.0 kg_f/cm², and that of carbon fiber is up to 5,922.5 kg_f/cm². The tensile strengths of glass and carbon fiber are higher than ductile cast iron pipe or steel pipe. Third, when reinforcing the hemispherical simulated corrosion shape of the ductile cast iron pipe and the steel pipe with a polymeric filler, there was an effect of increasing the ultimate tensile load by 1.04 to 1.06 times, but the ultimate load was 37.7 to 53.7% compared to the ductile cast iron or steel specimen without corrosion damage. It was found that the effect on the reinforcement of the corrosion damaged part was insignificant. Fourth, the composite sleeve using carbon fiber showed an ultimate load of 1.10(0.61T, 1,821.0 kg_f) and 1.02(0.60T, 2,290.7 kg_f) times higher than the ductile cast iron pipe(1,657.83 kg_f) and steel pipe(2,236.8 kg_f), respectively. When using a composite sleeve such as fiber, the corrosion damage part of large-diameter water pipes can be reinforced with same level as the original pipe, and the supply stability can be secured through accident prevention.

In this paper, we propose a new automatic pipe grading algorithm for an efficient management of transmission pipe under the ground. Since the conventional transmission pipe evaluation was conducted by subjective decision made by an individual operator, it was difficult to grade them by means of numerical methods and also hard to realistically construct numerical database system. To solve these problems, we Int obtain some information on the current condition of pipes' sections by shooting laser beam at a regular rate and then apply grading algorithm after complete calculation of minimum diameter of pipe. We use some of preprocessing techniques to reduce noise and also use various color models to consider special conditions of each inner pipe. The measurement of pipes' minimum diameter and decision of grade are performed through a detailed processing stages. By some experimental results performed in the field, we show that over 90 percent of correct grade decisions are made by the proposed algorithm.

This study examined the damage characteristics through investigation for a total of 10 factors (longitudinal position, crossing position, soil type, collecting well volume, outlet position, water apron material, waterway existence, pipe culvert diameter, pipe culvert gradient, pipe culvert height) affecting outlet damages of forest road cross drainage for forest roads in the Research Forest of Kangwon National University. We predicted outlet damages of forest road cross drainage for forest roads using a discriminant analysis Results showed that longitudinal position, crossing position, soil type and pipe culvert height did not affect damages caused to forest road cross drainage. Most influential factors affecting outlet damages were outlet position, waterway existence, pipe culvert diameter, pipe culvert gradient and collecting well volume, respectively. The discriminant ratio calculated from the developed discriminant function was 68.8% which is reasonably reliable.

Pipeline is very important infrastructure which is directly related to our daily life. Nevertheless, it is not considered significantly unless it breaks. As most pipelines are buried at a certain depth from the surface of road pavement in urban areas, they are subjected to traffic load. This paper presents the performance of buried concrete pipe under heavy traffic load. Hence, one of the major factors affecting their performance is burial depth. To consider this factor, the ratio of burial depth (H) to diameter of pipe (D) was defined as a key variable. The integrity of buried concrete pipe was investigated with two cases of ratio of burial depth to pipe diameter (H/D=2 and H/D=4). The results provide the limit burial depth to ensure the soundness of buried concrete pipe subjected to heavy traffic load, and more economical design is anticipated with the results.

This paper primarily directed toward analyzing the frequency response in hydraulic pipe lines with a small diameter. The exact solution to the frequency response is obtained by using the complicated transfer function. The discrepancy with the exact and the approximate is small so the approximation solution is adopted to compare the experimental results with the theoretical analysis. In this experiment the input frequency was generated by the frequency generator with the ball valve and speed controller. In order to compare the theoretical were forms with the experimental ones the trace obtained from the oscilloscope is photographed, The diameter the length of lines and input pressure amplitude are varied to investigate their effects,. the experiment results show that th values of dimensionless parameter are very affected to the phase delay and guide response time in the design of pressure manifold to measure the pressure of hydraulic pipelines.

Sludge discharger applied the principle of the air lift pump was investigated experimentally for the different design( diameter of discharge pipe, diameter and height of the inside and outside wall) and operating parameters(air flow rate, water level). And it was conducted that performance comparison about sludge discharger and conventional air lift pump. The result indicated that discharged liquid were increased with the increase of air flow rate and water level and decrease distance between inside and outside wall. The discharge pressure was increased with an increase of air flow rate and a decrease of the diameter of the discharge pipe, for both the sludge discharger and the airlift pump. The discharge pressures of the sludge discharger were 3-6 times higher than those of the air lift pump.
