A Study of Vibration Characteristics of Exposed Gas Pipeline under Vehicle Loading

차량 하중을 받는 노출 가스배관의 진동특성 연구

Exposed gas pipeline in underground, especially subway construction site, has been continuously vibrated by vehicle above ground. Because this vibration can cause unexpected damages to pipeline, we had measured and analyzed the vibration. This paper presents results of the vibration analysis of exposed gas pipeline and the results are as follows. The major vertical vibration frequency of pipeline was about 13 Hz and the other frequency components disappeared when the vibration transmitted to I-beam and wire rope. Existence of wooden casement had not affect vibration of exposed gas pipeline. The results of modal analysis by experimental and analytical methods have good agreement and it is also shown that exposed pipeline has possibility of resonance at second mode.
