Abstract

The objective of this paper is to minimize installation length of pipeline and to reduce burial depth for construction by increasing the friction coefficient caused by the interface between backfill material and pipeline. And then, the sufficient friction coefficient shortens the length of expansion joint pipe and gives the life extension of expansion joint absorber for efficient procedure regarding maintenance and administration of construction. The backfill material which is developed in this study has larger and smaller friction angle than that of conventional backfill material (river sand). The backfill material with tire powder provides low friction angle at curved section when pipe diameter increases in size (38% reduction at pipe diameter in 900 mm). When using backfill material with river sand and fly-ash, the mixture mixed with 1.5% fly-ash has 30% and that with 3% fly-ash has 50% reduction effect for minimum installation length of expansion joint pipe.

이 연구에서는 열 수송관로 직선부에서 마찰계수의 증가를 통해 관로의 최소 설치길이를 감소시켜, 현장 시공 시 매설깊이의 증가를 억제하고, 충분한 마찰력을 제공함으로써 신축이음관의 설치를 줄여 효율적인 시공이 가능토록 함과 동시에, 곡선부에서는 마찰계수의 감소를 통해 신축흡수재의 수명 연장을 도모하여 열 수송관로의 유지관리의 효율성을 향상시키고자 하는 목적으로, 현재 주로 사용되고 있는 되메움재인 강모래보다 큰 내부마찰각을 가진 되메움재와 작은 내부마찰각을 가진 되메움재를 개발하였다. 곡관부에 타이어 분말 혼합 되메움재를 사용할 경우, 관경이 커질수록 신축흡수재에 가해지는 마찰력의 감소 경향은 증가하고 있는 것으로 나타났고, 관경 900mm에서의 마찰력은 약 38% 감소를 보였다. 강모래+fly-ash 혼합 되메움재를 사용할 경우, fly-ash 혼합비 1.5%에서 최소 설치길이의 감소효과는 약 30%, fly-ash 혼합비 3%에서 최소 설치길이의 감소효과는 약 50%로 나타나고 있어, 열 수송관로의 효율적인 시공 및 유지관리가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
