Abstract

In this study, the overseas failure frequency data of the high-pressure gas pipeline were investigated to apply QRA of high-pressure gas pipeline. The typical overseas failure frequency data of high-pressure gas pipeline are DOT of United States, EGIG of Europe, and UKOPA of United Kingdom (UK). Comparative analysis of these data was shown that EGIG data was suitable for the situation in Korea. In order to apply QRA of high-pressure gas pipeline, non-linear regression analysis using the failure frequency data in the report of EGIG 8th was performed. In the future, intensive researches are required for the external interference because about 50% of the failure frequency of all incidents is the external interference, and for combining of domestic and overseas data.

본 연구에서는 국내 매설 고압가스배관의 사고빈도 데이터 구축 시 활용할 수 있도록 국외에서 발표하고 있는 고압가스배관 사고빈도 데이터에 대해 고찰 하였다. 고압가스배관 사고빈도 데이터의 대표적인 것으로는 미국의 DOT, 유럽의 EGIG 및 영국의 UKOPA가 있다. 국외 사고빈도 데이터의 국내 적용 가능성을 확인하기 위하여 이들을 비교 분석한 결과 EGIG 데이터가 국내 실정에 더 적합하였다. EGIG 8차 보고서의 사고빈도 데이터를 사용하여 비선형회귀분석을 수행한 결과 배관 설치 연도에 따른 지수형의 곡선을 얻었다. 향후 전체 사고빈도의 약 50%를 차지하고 있는 타공사 부분과 국내 데이터와 국외 데이터의 합성에 대한 집중적인 연구가 필요하다.
