This paper reports the application study of the ground reinforcement under a buried pipeline subjected to differential settlement via a finite element modeling. The soil-reinforcement interaction helps to minimize the differential settlement between the adjoining pipe segments. The settlement pattern and deformation slope of a pipeline have been evaluated for a boundary condition at the joint between a rigid structure and a pipeline. The analysis results are compared for both non-reinforced and reinforced cases to numerically evaluate the stress transfer mechanism and the effectiveness of the soil reinforcement for restraining the settlement of the pipeline.

지하에 매설된 가스관의 경우 MFL(Magnetic Fluk Leakage, 자기누설탐상) PIG를 이용하여 금속관의 여러 가지 기계적인 손상을 감지하여 사고예방이나 유지관리의 정보로 활용하고 있다. 이러한 비파피검사는 당장 수리가 필요한 손상에서부터 장래에 위협이 될 수도 있는 지하 매설관 외부의 금속물체(Metal object)까지 찾아낼 수 있어야 한다. 이 논문은 지하 매설관 외부의 금속물체의 크기, 모양 및 이격거리 등에 따른 자기누설 신호를 유한요소법을 이용하여 simulation 하고, MFL PIG를 이용하여 지하 매설관에 대한 비파괴검사를 할 경우 나타나는 여러 가지 자기적 신호를 보정하여 metal object의 크기나 위치 등을 판별할 수 있도록 기본적인 자기누설 정보를 제공하기 위한 연구이다. NMFL PIG의 형상과 금속물체의 크기 종류 의 정확한 분석을 위하여 3차원 해석을 하였다.

This paper reports the application study of the ground reinforcement under a pipe joint. The soil-reinforcement interaction helps to minimize the stress concentration at joint. The settlement pattern and the earth pressure variation have been evaluated under the pipeline subjected to differential settlement. The pipeline is fixed at one side with the other side set free being loaded with a uniform surface loading. The problem has been studied by means of laboratory model test and flite element technique, and the analysis results are compared for both non-reinforced and reinforced cases to evaluate the effectiveness of the soil reinforcement for restraining the settlement of the pipeline.

A series of model test as well as numerical analysis by FEM was performed to investigate lateral earth pressure acting on a buried pipe in soft ground undergoing horizontal soil movement. A model test apparatus was manufactured so as to simulate horizontal soil movement in model soft ground, in which a model rigid buried pipe was installed. The velocity of soil deformation could be controlled as wanted during testing. The model test was performed on buried pipes with various diameters and shapes to investigate major factors affected the lateral earth pressure. The result of model tests showed that the larger lateral earth pressure acted on the buried pipes under the faster velocity of soil movement. The result of numerical analysis, which was performed under immediate loading condition, showed a similar behavior with the result of model tests under 0.3mm/min to 1.0mm/min velocity of soil deformation. Most of model tests showed the soil deformation-lateral load behavior, in which the first yielding load developed at small soil deformation and elastic behavior was observed by the yielding load. Then, lateral load was kept constant by the second yielding load, in which plastic behavior was observed between the first yielding load and the second yielding one. Beyond the second yielding load, the compression behavior zone was observed. When the velocity was too fast, however, the lateral load was increased with soil deformation beyond the first yielding load without showing the second yielding load. The buried pipes with the larger diameter was subjected to the larger lateral load and the larger increasing rate of lateral load. At small soil deformation, the influence of diameter and shape of buried pipes on lateral load was small. However, when soil deformation was increased considerably, the influence became more and more.

This paper presents the results of a parametric study on the interaction between buried pipes and surface load using the finite element method of analysis. A series of laboratory model tests were also performed in order to validate the adopted finite element model and to capture essential features of the physical behavior of buried pipes subjected to surface load. In the parametric study, a wide range of boundary conditions were analyzed with emphasis on the response of the buried pipes to surface load. The results of analysis such as contact stress distribution at the soil/pipe interface and axial thrust of the pipe were thoroughly analyzed, and a database on the response of buried pipe under surface load was established for future development of a semi-empirical design/analysis method. The results indicated that the degree of interaction between buried pipes and surface load significantly varies with the vertical and lateral location of pipe with respect to surface load, and that the current design method, which does not consider soil-structure interaction, cannot correctly capture the pipe response to surface loading. Furthermore, based on the results of analysis, a semi-empirical equation was suggested, which estimates the maximum pipe thrust due to surface load for flexible buried pipes.

This paper reports the application study of the bedding reinforcement under a buried pipeline subjected to differential settlement. Three different field conditions have been considered and evaluated via a finite element modeling. The deformation of a buried pepeline has been evaluated for each boundary condition together with the settlement restraining effects of the bedding reinforcement. A guideline of the bedding reinforcement design has been proposed so as to put it to practical use for general field applications. The design guideline incorporates the procedure and method for the selection of typical sections suggested by conventional empirical approach and for the determination of bedding thickness based on the numberical analysis results performed in this research.

현재 KT의 관로포설 공법은 관 상부 토피 1m를 확보한 상태에서 차량하중이 작용한다는 가정하에서 제정된 것이며, 토피 1m를 확보하지 못하는 구간에는 별도의 보강공법을 적용하고 있다. 그러나 현재 관로공사의 대부분을 차지하는 도로유관공사는 도로 조성이 종료되는 시점에는 토피 1m를 확보하지만, 도로조성 공사기간 중에는 별도의 보강공사 없이 토피 60cm 내외에서 공사 차량의 하중이 관로에 그대로 전달되고 있어 관로의 찌그러짐 현상이 발생하고 있다. 본 논문은 이와 같은 조건에서도 고품질의 관로를 확보하기 위하여 현행 FC관로 뿐만 아니라 지하매설관으로 사용되는 각종 재질의 관에 대한 특성을 검토하였으며 매설관 변형실험을 통하여 도로유관공사에 적합한 관로재질을 제시하였다.

현재까지 국내에서는 지진에 대한 위험성을 인식하고 건축물 및 교량등에 대한 내진설계 연구가 활발하게 진행중이지만 지중에 매설된 관에 관한 연구는 미약한 실정이다. 지중매설관 중 가스관의 파손은 주변의 환경과 인명에 심각한 영향을 줄 수도 있으므로 인명보호와 타시설의 보호를 위해서는 가스관의 내진설계에 대한 검토가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 지중매설관중 가스관의 내진성을 검토하기 위해서 가스관의 파손을 일으키는 원인 중에 하나인 액상화에 의한 영구지반변형에 대하여 매설관의 거동을 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 외국의 사례를 분석하고 우리나라 가스관에 대한 해석을 수행하여 지진에 대한 안정성을 검토하였다.

The underground conduit laid under different environments exhibits various behaviour according to the ground and external load as well as the loading time and conditions, so on. As the environmental conditions are usually different even within the same area, it is very difficult to correctly predict the stress conditions and behaviour of the underground conduit using currently available theoretical analysis. Especially, it is not yet satisfied in Korea for the evaluation of the underground conduit under the influence of the load of vehicles or unexpected loading conditions. Thus, in this study the assessment for the excavation depth and ground disturbance was carried out with a large box model test and numerical analysis. Numerical analysis was also performed for the assessment of dynamic loading conditions like railway load.
