Abstract

The welded connection is known as an essential factor for establishing qualified construction and/or maintenance of wrapped steel pipe. In this study, welded connection conditions in the coated pipes with large diameter (over 700 mm) in Korea water distribution systems were estimated for suggesting technically and economically available welded connection method. For the study analysis, current steel pipe usage and accident cases were investigated. In addition, the characteristics of each welded connection method and automatic or manual connection techniques were also compared and estimated. As results, automatic welded connection method is superior than manual welded connection method in aspect of pure construction cost (average 9%) or pure welded connection cost (average 13.5%). When the poor welding-working situations in Korea are considered such as high tolerance of out-of-roundness in KS regulation, a number of lap joint welded connections, the real cost benefits of automatic welded connection should be much higher than those of manual welded connections.

본 연구에서는 상수도관의 도 송수관등 대형관(700mm 이상)에 주로 사용되고 있는 도복장강관의 품질 및 시공, 유지관리에 영향을 미치는 용접접합의 현황을 조사 분석하고 용접접합의 개선방안에 대하여 연구하였다. 이를 위해 강관의 사용현황 등의 문제점을 조사하고 용접접합별 특성, 그리고 수동 및 자동 용접접합을 비교 분석하여 기술적, 경제적으로 효과적인 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서 비교 분석한 용접접합별 특성 검토 결과, 상수도 관로의 관경 700mm - 3,000mm의 현장 시공시 자동용접공법이 수동용접공법에 비해 순공사비 대비 평균 9% 절감되며, 용접공정만 비교시에는 평균 13.5% 이상 절감될 것으로 판단된다. 특히, KS상 강관 진원도에 대한 허용치가 크며 대부분 겹치기 이음으로 되어있는 국내 현실에서 작업환경이 열악한 경우 진원확보를 위한 시간이 무한정 소요될 수 있어 실제적인 절감액은 더욱 차이를 보일 것으로 사료된다.
