Abstract

A suction bucket foundation, especially useful at depths of more than 20m, is a method of construction. The method first places an empty upturned bucket at the target site. Then, the bucket is installed by sucking water or air into it to create negative pressure. For stability, it is crucial to secure the verticality of the bucket. However, inclination by the bucket may occur due to sea-bottom conditions. In general, a repeated intrusion-pulling method is used for securing verticality. However, it takes a long time to complete the job. In this paper, we propose a real-time suction bucket verticality monitoring system. Specifically, the system consists of a sensor unit that collects raw verticality data, a controller that processes the data and wirelessly transmits the information, and a display unit that shows verticality information of a circular steel pipe. The system is implemented using an inclination sensor and an embedded controller. Experimental results show that the proposed system can efficiently measure roll/pitch information with a 0.028% margin of error. Furthermore, we show that the system properly operates in a suction bucket-based model experiment.

석션버켓기초는 20m 이상의 수심 조건에서 경제적인 시공이 가능한 건설 공법이다. 석션버켓기초는 내부가 비어 있는 양동이가 뒤집어진 형태의 구조물을 목표지점에 위치시킨 후, 버켓 내의 공기나 물을 흡입하여 내/외부의 수압차이에 의한 관입력으로 기초를 설치한다. 안정성 확보를 위해 버켓의 수직도 확보는 필수적이다. 그러나 해저지반의 불균질성이나 편심으로 인하여 버켓의 기울어짐이 발생할 수 있다. 석션버켓기초는 현재 시공과정에서 관입/인발 작업 반복을 통해 수직도를 확보하는 방법이 일반적으로 적용되고 있다. 그러나 이 방법은 현장 작업자의 경험 및 숙련도에 의존적이며 수직도 확보에 비교적 장시간이 소모된다. 본 논문에서는 실시간 석션버켓 수직도 모니터링 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은 수직도 데이터를 수집하는 센서부, 수집된 데이터를 처리하여 무선 전송해 주는 컨트롤러부, 원형강관의 수직도 정보를 실시간으로 보여주는 디스플레이부로 구성되어 있다. 제안된 시스템은 기울기 센서와 임베디드 컨트롤러를 활용하여 구현되었다. 제안된 시스템의 실험 결과 roll/pitch가 0.028% 이내의 오차로 측정이 가능함을 확인하였다. 또한, 제안된 시스템을 석션버켓기초 모형실험에 적용하여 수직도 정보의 실시간 확인이 가능함을 보였다.
