The result of this research explains an interactive behavior of buried steel pipe located below hume pipe using concept of effective depth and effective length against their intersection angle and burial distance. The cover depth of upper rigid (hume) pipe is 1.0m and depth range of flexible (steel) pipe is 0.5m to 5m from beneath bottom of hume pipe. And one more variable is their intersection angle in this study, it was considered from $0^{\circ}$ to $90^{\circ}$. From the results of this study, the effective depth is proportionally increasing with its intersection angle and decreasing with distance increment between two pipes. Finally, the relationship between effective length and summation of occurred bending stress is defined.

In this paper, vertical earth pressure by CANDE program is compared with that by some equations such as the equation by Janssen, Marston, Spangler, and Handy to calculate vertical earth pressure with respect to several factors acting on a rigid buried-pipe filled cohesionless soil. As a result of comparative analysis of vertical earth pressure with each equation, primary factors are affected by backfill width, backfill depth and wall friction. Moreover, vertical earth pressure is linearly increased with backfill depth and width from results of the finite element method. Handy's Equation is reasonable for finite element method while Marston equation is overestimated in case of the design of buried-pipe and box.

Model tests were performed to investigate the mechanism of lateral earth pressure on a buried pipe, which was installed in a plastic flowing soil mass undergoing lateral movement. On the basis of failure mode tests, the equation of lateral earth pressure to apply Maxwell's visco-elastic model was proposed to consider the soil deformation velocity. Through a series of model tests of differential soil deformation velocity, lateral earth pressure of theoretical equation was compared with experimental results. When lateral soil movement was raised, the lateral earth pressure acting on buried pipe increases linearly with the soil deformation velocity. It shows that the lateral earth pressure on buried pipe is largely affected by soil deformation velocity. When plastic soil movement was raised, lateral earth pressure predicted by theoretical equation showed good agreement with experimental results. Also, coefficient of viscosity by theoretical equation had a good agreement with direct shear test results.

최근 들어 전력 사용량의 증가로 인한 화력발전소의 부산물인 석탄회 중 바텀애시와 각종 공공사업과 관련하여 해마다 현장발생토의 발생량이 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 바텀애시와 현장발생토사를 효과적으로 재활용하는 방법 중 유동성 뒤채움재를 개발하여 활용하는 방안을 모색하기 위한 연구이다. SP로 분류된 흙 현장발생토와 서천 화력발전소에서 발생하는 석탄회 중 입경이 0.9~1.5mm의 바텀애시만을 선별하여 현장발생토와 바텀애시의 비율을 7 : 3으로 변환한 최적배합을 선정하여 강재로 제작된 가로 80cm, 세로 60cm, 높이 90cm의 모형토조를 이용하여 실험을 진행하였으며, 사용상 지하 매설이 되는 관의 거동 특성은 확인하기 위하여 내경 30cm, 두께 8mm의 연선관 중 하나인 PVC관을 원형지하매설관으로 선정하여 배합을 타설하는 과정과 타설 후 7일간의 양생기간을 거친 후 차량하중으로 가정할 수 있는 하중을 가하여 원형지하매설관의 관외부에서 수직방향과 수평방향의 토압과 관내부의 수직 수평방향 변위 그리고 관 자체의 횡 종단 변형을 측정하여 원형지하매설관의 거동특성을 파악하였다. 타설시 지하매설관은 유동성 뒤채움재의 특성으로 인하여 시간이 지남에 따라 안정화되는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 최대하중을 3300kgf로 하여 하중 재하 후 지하매설관의 거동특성은 대체적으로 일반 모래를 사용하여 실험한 값보다 적은 변형 특성을 보이고 있으나 수평토압의 경우 일반적인 흙의 변형과 전혀 상이한 결과값을 보이는 경우도 있어 추가적인 실험 및 고찰의 필요하다. 본 실험에서 사용한 최적배합비 이외의 배합으로 같은 실험을 수행하여 바텀애시 량의 가감 및 재활용 재료인 폐타이어 고무칩등을 첨가한 실험을 계획하고 있으며 추후 실내시험과 모형실험을 토대로 유한요소해석을 추가로 시행하여 실험값과 해석값의 비교를 할 예정이다.

Longitudinal strain is an important component of seismic design for buried pipelines. A design procedure which determines the wavelength from site natural period and shear wave velocity of the soil layer and closed-form solutions of pipelines under a harmonic motion is typically used in design. However, the applicability of the procedure has not yet been thoroughly investigated. In this paper, displacement-time histories extracted from 1D site response analyses are used in 3D shell-spring model to accurately predict the response of pipelines. The results are closely compared to those from the design procedure. The area of interest is East Siberia. Performing a site response analysis to determine site specific displacement time history is highlighted. The site natural period may be used to predict the predominant period of the acceleration time history, but cannot be used to estimate the predominant period of the displacement time history. If an accurate estimate of the predominant period of the displacement time history is provided, it is demonstrated that the design equation can be successfully used to predict the response of pipelines.

During construction of circular lifeline pipe, the non-proper compaction along the pipe and the decrease of compaction efficiency are the main problems to induce the failure of underground pipe. The use of CLSM(controlled low strength materials) is one of the applications to overcome those problems. In this research, the numerical analysis by PENTAGON FEM program was carried out for 20 cases with the couple of combinations on bedding materials, backfill materials, and pipes. From the FEM analysis, the use of CLSM as backfill materials reduced the settlement of ground surface and the deformation of pipe employed. In case of the vertical deformation on the pipe, common soil backfill for flexible pipes showed 2 times for rigid pipes, but CLSM backfill case did less deformation than the soil backfill for rigid pipes. CLSM backfills for rigid pipes showed the similar results. Judging from the FEM analysis, the use of CLSM increases the structure capacity of the underground pipes.

In general, pipes buried underground can be classified into either rigid or flexible pipe. Glass fiber reinforced thermosetting polymer plastic (GFRP) pipe can be considered as one of typical flexible pipes for which the soil-pipe structure interaction must be taked into account in the design. In this paper, we present the result of an investigation pertaining to the short-term and long-term behavior of buried GFRP pipe. The mechanical properties of the GFRP pipe produced in the domestic manufacturer are determined and the results are reported in this paper. In addition, Ring deflection is measured by the field tests and the finite element analysis. Also, the extrapolation using these techniques typically extends the trend from data gathered over a period of approximately 5,232 hours, to a prediction of the property at 50 years, which is the typical maximum extrapolation time. Therefore, it was investigated that the long-term ring deflection of GFRP pipe estimated by methods for Monod-type.

To observe the behavior of lateral deformation of buried pipe and the preventing effect of embankment piles against the lateral deformation, a series of full-scale field tests were performed on a reclaimed coastal area. A buried pipe was installed in the west coast undergoing reclamation and embankment was performed by three steps. Then vertical settlement and lateral displacement were measured by the settlement plate and the inclinometer. Embankment pile system were applied to prevent the lateral displacement of buried pipe. Heave of the buried pipe slightly happens during embankment and following settlement. Finally the behavior steadily converged. The preventing effect of the embankment pile was approximately two times stronger than non-reinforcement. Both settlement and lateral displacement appear to be bigger at upper ground and smaller at lower ground.

The objective of this study is to propose curve fitted equations that can facilitate calculations and improve a practical applicability when the seismic performance of buried pipelines needs to be evaluated. The curve fitted equations are derived based on the evaluation of the dynamic responses of concrete pipe with a boundary condition of fixed-free ends. To study the dynamic response of underground pipe, the numerical analysis program developed in the previous research has been used. The location of maximum strain has been determined through dynamic analyses for a boundary condition of fixed-free ends. Then $wavelength{\lambda}$ of 5-1000(m) and propagation velocity(Vs) of 100-2000(m/s) have been applied at the location of maximum strain and the unit srain curve with the changes of the $wavelength{\lambda}$ and propagation velocity(Vs) has been obtaind. Non-linear least-square regression has been used to develop highly applicable curve fitted equations and various types of exponential regression equations have been checked out. Thus curve fitted equations and necessary coefficients with best results are suggested.
