댐의 침투수량은 준공이후 댐 안전성 확보를 나타내는 지표 중의 하나이며, 유지관리를 위해 침투수량 측정을 실시하여 관리를 하고 있다. 댐 타입별로 침투수량에 대한 허용치와 관리기준치는 다르지만, 기본적으로 댐에서 발생되는 침투수량은 측정범위를 넘지 않도록 관리를 하고 있다. 댐의 침투수량 측정은 댐 하류에 누수집수벽을 설치하고 댐에서 발생되는 침투수량을 집수한 후 삼각위어를 통하여 침투수량을 측정하고 있다. 이러한 침투수량 측정은 대부분의 댐에서 실시간으로 자동측정하고 있지만, 경우에 따라 미계측 구간이 발생되어 댐 유지관리 측면에서 미계측에 대한 원인분석이 필요한 실정이다. 일반적으로 침투수량의 미계측 원인은 계측기기, 삼각위어, 누수집수벽, 기초지반 등 다양한 원인이 있지만 명확한 원인을 찾기는 어려움이 많다. 특히, 댐 침투수량의 경우 지하수위, 댐 표면 우수, 침투수가 같이 측정되기 때문에 원인분석을 위해서는 다양한 검토가 필요하다. 본 연구의 표면차수벽형석괴댐은 누수집수벽을 통하여 침투수량을 측정하고 있으나, 일부 구간 미계측 부분이 발생하여 기초지반, 댐체 하류사면, 여수로와 댐체 접합부를 통한 누수를 원인으로 추정하였다. 이를 조사하기 위하여 전기비저항 탐사, 시추조사, 수압시험, 지하수위 측정 결과를 이용하여 누수발생 추정위치를 찾고, 침투수량이 미계측되는 원인을 분석하고자 하였다. 전기비저항 탐사는 여수로 접합부, 누수집수벽 상·하류 구간을 선정하여 측정한 결과 상·하류 저비저항대가 존재하는 구간을 추정할 수 있었다. 수압시험 결과 기초암반은 2.3 ~ 21.3 Lu(3.65×10^-5 ~ 3.65×10^-4 cm/sec)의 범위로 누수 가능성이 있는 높은 투수성을 갖는 부분을 확인할 수 있었다. 전기비저항 탐사, 수압시험, 지하수위 측정을 통해 누수집수벽 기초지반 누수발생 원인분석 결과 누수집수벽 기초암반을 통한 누수로 누수집수벽에 댐체를 통한 침투수량이 저류되지 못하는 현상이 발생하기 때문인 것으로 판단되었다. 침투수량계의 정상화를 위해서는 조사를 통해 확인된 누수집수벽 기초암반 누수구간의 그라우팅 보수보강이 필요함을 확인하였다.

Complete dryness inside the stator is a necessary and sufficient condition for the leak test. Microcracks caused by high cycle fatigue due to operation are generated in stator windings, and they are interrupted by water molecules during the leak test. For this reason, during leak test, the wrong value is indicated when there are no leaks in stator windings. Generator manufacturers presents unique dryness judgment criteria for the leak test, but there is no actual criterion that accurately indicates the dryness point for the leak test. The reason is because stator winding has a complex structure and the absence of effective dryness equipment in power plants. This paper proposes a dryness judgment criterion to evaluate if inside the stator winding is dried completely and presents experimental results.

An artificial recharge test was performed to analyze the source of seepage observed inside the Songsanri tombs Kongju during the rainy season. In order to simulate simulate the test, a two-dimensional unsaturated groundwater flow model was developed. By the measured water level variation in the observation wells and in the artificail water tank, the model was cailbrated to estimate the model parameters such as fitting parameters in the constitutive relations(n and $\alpha$), the saturated volumetric water content, the residual volumetric water content, and the saturated hydraulic conductivity. Using the calibrated parameters, the recharge test was simulated. The results of the test and simulation show that the major source of the seepage is the downward groundwater flow through cracks in the protection layer the tombs. It was also analyzed by the steady state simulation that, with a perfect protection layer, a long-term precipitation that, with a perfect protection layer, a long-term precitation could cause only 10% increase of the effective saturation around the north side of the Muryong royal tomb by infiltration of the unsaturated groundwater from the North. Therefore, it is concluded that the most urgent protection plan for the tombs with respect to seepage is to reconstruct an effective waterproof-layer rather than a trenched drainage system.

This study is about the method to control the quality of material used to repair leakage and crack of concrete structure and suggests the "Temperature Stability Test Method" as a follow-up study. In the result of performance evaluation for 45 samples of 15 types in 5 series, the temperature stability test showed different material changes including rolling down, volume change, and color change as they are frozen and melt repeatedly in the somewhat extreme conditions at low($-20^{\circ}C$) and high($60^{\circ}C$) temperatures, where 13 samples (approx. 29%) and 32 samples (approx. 71%) showed leakage, respectively, in the permeability test to evaluate leakage. This result shows the enough importance of setting the quality control criteria of leakage repair material currently used to maintain concrete structures considering the temperature conditions, and proves the applicability of the Temperature Stability Test Method as a standard test method to ensure long-term durability of concrete structure.

Various injection materials, such as asphalt-based injection materials, urethane-based injection materials, cement- based injection materials, and acrylic-based injection materials, are used for the repair of aged conduits and underground structures with cracks. In this study, research was conducted on an environmentally friendly acrylic- based leak repair material that exhibits good curing properties even in humid conditions and stability in temperature fluctuations. To compare the performance of the improved acrylic leak repair material with the existing acrylate injection material, experiments were conducted using KS standard methods, including underwater length change rate tests, underwater leakage resistance tests, and chemical performance tests. The comparative experiments revealed that the improved acrylic leak repair material showed no changes in shrinkage due to humidity, temperature variations, or chemical reactions compared to the existing acrylate injection material. In the underwater resistance test, the improved acrylic leak repair material did not show any leakage. Additionally, to assess the environmental impact of the improved acrylic leak repair material, acute fish toxicity tests and acute oral toxicity tests were conducted, and the results showed no mortality and no specific concerns with the test specimens. The experimental results led to the conclusion that the improved acrylic leak repair material is considered to be superior in performance, environmentally safe, and harmless to the human body. Based on various experimental results, it is inferred that the improved acrylic leak repair material is suitable for use as a repair material for cracks in manholes and underground structures compared to the existing acrylate repair material. This study aims to propose valuable data for future technological development by evaluating the applicability of acrylic leak repair materials.

The failure of water-cooled generator stator windings as a result of insulation breakdown due to coolant water leaks and water absorption often occurs worldwide. Such failure can cause severe grid-related accidents as well as huge economic losses. More than 50% of domestic generators have been operated for over 15 years, and therefore, they exhibit signs of aging. Leaking and water-absorbing windings are often found during an overhaul. In an existing method for evaluating the integrity of generator stator windings, the drying process of the interior of the windings is ignored and only final leak tests are performed. In this study, it is shown that water leaks and water absorption in stator windings can be detected indirectly through vacuum pattern analysis in the vacuum drying mode, which is the used in the preparation stage of the leak test.

Comprehensive field surveys, including various hydrogeological and geophysical methods, were carried out to appraise the applicability of those methods to a leakage problem at the Sandong earth fill dam in southwestern Korea. The methods applied in the fold site were tracer tests, monitoring of drawdown and leakage with discharge of reservoir water, electrical resistivity surveys using the dipole-dipole array, self-potential (SP), and temperature logging methods. The leakage pattern in the reservoir wall was demonstrated by hydrogeological methods and was further clarified by the geophysical surveys. Leakage turned out to be through the right abutment of the reservoir wall. In this study, we conformed that the electrical resistivity method is effective in detecting the zones favorable to leakage, and SP methods are useful for delineating the leakage pathways themselves, because leaks generate strong streaming-potential anomalies.

Water pipes are laid on the ground, making it impossible to visually detect leaks due to aging of pipes, and technology to detect leaks in pipes is mainly used to detect leaks in pipes by detecting leaks. In this paper, two accelerometers were attached to both ends of the constant water piping to calculate the time difference between the acquired data to detect leakage points. The leak test of piping was performed by installing valves at 4.3m, 8.6m, and 12.9m points on piping 17.2m, and changing the development rate of valves to 30% and 70%. Leakage can be detected for pressure drop in piping, which is 30% and 70% open valve. It is very important to detect leakage in the early stage, and it is judged that detection of the initial leak point from the algorithm applied in this paper will be possible.
