The use of TBM (Tunnel boring machine) has increased worldwide due to its performance together with the benefit of being safely and environmentally friendly compared to conventional tunneling. In particular, EPB (Earth Pressure Balanced) TBM is widely used because it can be applied to various grounds compared to Open TBM. Also EPB TBM has a simple mechanical structure and advantages in cost, requires less ground area than Slurry TBM. EPB TBM has advantages in soft ground, and more importantly, can extend its applicability by use of appropriate soil conditioning, which improves mechanical and hydrological properties of excavated soil and increases the excavation performance of EPB TBM. Various studies suggested the proper mixing ratio and injection ratio, but almost they are limited to laboratory test under atmospheric pressure such as slump test. Actual field conditions may differ depending on the ground and mechanical condition. In this study, first the amount of used soil conditioning used in the field with various grounds from hard rock to soft ground was estimated through laboratory tests and compared with the estimate in design stage. And also it was compared with the amount used during actual excavation. In addition, experience of soil conditioning for the problems of cutter head clogging and groundwater inrush that occurred during excavation is discussed. Finally, lesson learned for the use of soil conditioning in difficult ground condition such as mixed ground are reviewed.

최근 전력의 공급신뢰도의 하락으로 인하여 기존 송배전 설비의 신규건설 및 유지보수를 위한 투자의 필요성이 더욱 증대되고 있다. 이에 적절한 대안으로서 배터리를 이용한 에너지 저장 시스템(BESS, Battery Energy Storage System)이 대두되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 송배전 설비 투자 지연을 위한 BESS의 필요성에 대해 살펴보고 그 핵심 구성 요소인 PCS의 기능과 최신 동향에 대해 기술한다.

Long-term safety over millennia is the top priority consideration in the construction of disposal sites. However, ensuring the mechanical stability of deep geological repositories for spent fuel, a.k.a. radwaste, disposal during construction and operation is also crucial for safe operation of the repository. Imposing restrictions or limitations on tunnel support and lining materials such as shotcrete, concrete, grouting, which might compromise the sealing performance of backfill and buffer materials which are essential elements for the long-term safety of disposal sites, presents a highly challenging task for rock engineers and tunnelling experts. In this study, as part of an extensive exploration to aid in the proper selection of disposal sites, the anticipation of constructing a deep geological repository at a depth of 500 meters in an unknown state has been carried out. Through a review of 2D and 3D numerical analyses, the study aimed to explore the range of properties that ensure stability. Preliminary findings identified the potential range of rock properties that secure the stability of central and disposal tunnels, while the stability of the vertical tunnel network was confirmed through 3D analysis, outlining fundamental rock conditions necessary for the construction of disposal sites.

LNG demand has been rapidly increasing in Korea for a variety of reasons including stable supply, non-polluting, and high combustion efficiency characteristics. One of the most important structural core element of the LNG storage tank is the membrane, consisting of stainless steel. The membrane to be applied inside of LNG storage tank is provided with corrugations to absorb thermal contraction and expansion caused by LNG temperature. Experimental studies are presented to investigate the deformation and strength of the membrane which is designed by Kogas. All experiments are conducted on the basis of RPIS, and we found the results is fully satisfied with the RPIS.

변화, 발전하는 IT기술과 디지털 기술, 그리고 네트워킹 기술 등에 따라 변전소의 운용 및 자동화 부문에 있어서도 적지 않은 변화가 일어나고 있다. 변전소의 건설 및 운용 면에 있어서도 예외가 아니며, 관련된 관심 사항으로는 시스템 구축 및 운용 시의 경제적인 측면, 시스템의 신뢰성, 그리고 유지보수 및 설비 관리의 효율성 등을 언급할 수 있다. 최근의 기술 추세는 Ethernet 통신 기반의 Network Device를 근간으로 하는 시스템으로의 변신을 주장하고 있으며, 세계 유수의 전력 설비 Maker에서도 이에 부응하기 위한 Network Device를 개발, 출시하고 있는 실정이다. 당소에서도 이와 같은 기술 추세에 부응하여 소위 미래형 변전소에서 요구되는 각종 ND의 개발을 추진하고 있으며, 그 첫번째 결과물로 154kV GIS의 운용 시에 요구되는 각종 제어 및 감시를 위한 Digital Control Unit(이하 DCU)을 개발하였다. 두 번째로 이와 같은 DCU와 연계하여 기존의 Remote Control 기능을 구비하고 상위시스템과 연결되며 변전실내에서 운용되는 Remote Control Unit(이하 RCU)을 개발하였다. 마지막으로 예방진단 시스템과 관련하여 주요 전력 설비의 상태 정보를 취합하는 Serial 통신 기반의 Static Type의 Diagnostic Analysis Unit(이하 DAU)을 하나의 Network Device로 개발함으로써 감시, 진단, 제어 등의 요구기능이 일체화 된 네트워크 기반의 미래형 변전소 자동화 시스템 구축에 한걸음 다가가는 기반을 마련하였다.

To investigate the national science and technology policy direction in the field of construction machinery, an analysis was conducted on projects selected as national research and development (R&D) initiatives by the government. Assuming that the project titles contain key keywords, text mining was employed to substantiate this assumption. Project information data spanning nine years from 2014 to 2022 was collected through the National Science & Technology Information Service (NTIS). To observe changes over time, the years were divided into three-year sections. To analyze research trends efficiently, keywords were categorized into groups: 'equipment,' 'smart,' and 'eco-friendly.' Based on the collected data, keyword frequency analysis, N-gram analysis, and topic modeling were performed. The research findings indicate that domestic government R&D in the construction machinery field primarily focuses on smart-related research and development. Specifically, investments in monitoring systems and autonomous operation technologies are increasing. This study holds significance in analyzing objective research trends through the utilization of big data analysis techniques and is expected to contribute to future research and development planning, strategic formulation, and project management.
