Abstract
This paper recommends the alternative back-fill material for the pre-insulated pipe based on the results of tests performed using different kinds of backfill material. In this study, laboratory tests were preformed to determine the behavior of the pre-insulated pipe caused by variation on grain size distribution, friction characteristics and earth pressure characteristics of different types of backfill material. Two types of natural sand (fine-grained and coarse-grained sand) and crushed sand, and two types of gravel (10mm, 20mm) were used as backfill material in the laboratory tests. The laboratory test results were analyzed and compared with the pre-insulated pipe backfilled with the standard medium-grained sand. Based on the evaluation and comparison of laboratory test results, it was determined that crushed sand is the most suitable back-fill material that can be used as an alternative for medium grained sand for pre-insulated pipes.
본 논문에서는 자연모래 2종(세사, 왕사)과 부순모래, 자갈 2종(10mm, 20mm)을 대상으로 실내시험을 통하여 입도 분포 특성, 마찰특성 및 토압특성 등 되메움 재료 별 이중보온관의 거동 특성을 평가하고, 합리적인 되메움 대체재료 제시를 위하여 기존 이중보온관 되메움재인 중사와 비교를 수행하였다. 연구결과에 따르면, 부순모래는 5종의 되메움 대체재료 별 평가결과 이중보온관에 미치는 공학적 특성 및 재료의 수급 측면에 있어 기존 중사를 이용하는 이중보온관 되메움재의 대체재료로 가장 합리적인 재료로 평가되었다.
