본 연구에서는 UWB(Ultra Wide Band width)기술인 임펄스 기술을 이용하여 초광대역 지반탐사 레이다를 개발하였다. 국내에서 사용되는 지반탐사 레이다는 대부분 수입품에 의존하고 있으며 이는 국내의 토양환경이나 측정 조건 등을 고려하지 않은 제품이기 때문에 기대만큼 만족도를 주지 못하고 있다. 따라서 국내 토양환경의 대부분을 차지하는 점토질에 대한 분석과 함께 지반탐사를 위한 최적의 주파수를 분석하고 이를 바탕으로 국내환경에 적합한 지반탐사 레이다를 개발하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 100$\sim$300MHz외 주파수 대역을 가지는 임펄스를 이용하여 지반탐사 레이다 시제품을 개발하였으며 측정결과에서 지하 50cm$\sim$1m 이내에 매설된 금속 매설물들을 모두 검출하였으며 3m 범위까지 레이더 탐지가 가능함을 확인하였다. 기능 구현시 관련 프로그램 및 측정조건 등을 모두 모듈화 하여 향후 기능개선 및 적용분야 확대에 응용이 가능하도록 하였다.

In this paper, large scale experimental model tests were performed to investigate the distribution of earth pressure acting on embedded rigid pipes having different bedding conditions. For these tests, very light weighted EPS blocks were installed at top and bottom of the rigid pipe and Jumunjin Standard Sand was used as a ground material. As results of model tests, for the case of no bedding on the pipe, the measured pressure at the bottom of the pipe was $4.96_{tf/m^2}$ whereas they were in the range of $1.87{\sim}4.96_{tf/m^2}$ in the case of EPS beddings being installed at the top and the bottom of the pipe. Therefore, for the case of EPS bedding being installed, the ratio of reduced pressures acting on the pipe, compared with the case of no EPS beddings, were in the rage of 16~62%. As a result of parametric test with changing the locations of EPS bedding, the trend of reducing the stress acting on the pipe was in the order of bottom bedding, top bedding, and top and bottom bedding. Effect of bedding positions on the reduced magnitude of acting pressure on the pipe was more significant in the case of top bedding than in the case of the bottom bedding.

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.

Pipes buried in around a construction site of urbanized area tend to be affected by the vibration caused by construction loads. The behaviors of buried pipes affected by periodic vibration were analyzed through numerical analyses based on existing study and experimental results. From the results of theses analyses, the serviceability of buried pipes subjected to vibration was verified. This study analyzed the pipe behaviors subjected to dump truck loads with respect to burial depths, and this research was performed as foundation study to establish standards for managing buried pipes. The analyses were performed with burial depth of 0.6, 1.2, 1.8m and vehicle velocity of 10km/h. From theses analyses, the vibration velocity and occurred stress tend to decrease as a burial depth increases.

Due to frequent occurrences of concentrated heavy rainfall caused by abnormal climate conditions in recent years, collapses of steep slopes have been occurring frequently due to surface erosion and increased pore water pressure. Various methods are being applied to prevent slope collapses, such as increasing the resistance to movement and reducing pore water pressure. Research on these methods has been consistently conducted as they provide an efficient response to slope collapses by satisfying both the conditions of resistance to movement and pore water pressure simultaneously. Therefore, in this study, we propose an upward slope reinforcement method by burying drainage materials with an upward slope inclination, instead of the conventional horizontal application. This approach aims to satisfy both slope reinforcement and drainage functions effectively, offering a comprehensive solution for slope stabilization. Furthermore, to determine the optimal burial angle that exhibits the most effective reinforcement and drainage effects of the proposed method, we investigated the reinforcement and drainage effects under conditions where the horizontal drainage materials were set at angles ranging from 0° to 60° in increments of 10° on a representative cross-section. Additionally, indoor model experiments were conducted under the conditions of 40°, which showed the most outstanding drainage effect, and 20°, which exhibited the highest safety factor, to validate the numerical analysis results. The results showed that the burial angle of 40° exhibits a relatively higher drainage effect as with the numerical analysis results, while the angle of 20° results in inadequate drainage and observed slope collapse.

지하레이다(Ground Penetrating Radar, GPR)를 이용하여 지표하의 상수관로를 지표에서 송신안테나와 수신안테나를 이용해서 손쉽게 측정하게 된다. 송신안테나는 지표하에 전자기파를 송신하고 지하 매질을 투과한 파가 수신안테나에 도달하는 시간을 측정하여 지표하 매질의 특성을 파악할 수 있다. 수신파의 도달시간은 지표하 매질의 특성에 따라서 변화하며, 이를 통해 지표하 매질과 매질 깊이 등을 파악할 수 있다. 일반적으로 상수관로를 매설할 경우 관로 주변의 토양은 균등하게 되므로 기 매설된 상수관로 주변에 누수가 발생하게 되면, 관로 주변의 토양은 포화상태이거나 수압으로 인해서 공동이 형성될 경우가 많다. 이때 반사에너지의 유전율 증가 혹은 감소 특성으로 인해서 주변 매질과는 매우 상이한 결과를 보이게 된다. GPR탐사는 단순히 반사된 신호진폭의 크기를 나타내며 이러한 반사에너지의 크기에 관계되는 것은 매설물의 유전율이 주위 지반이 갖는 유전율과의 차이에서 기인하기 때문이다. 탐사 대상 상수관로에 대한 정보를 확보하여 GPR 탐사를 수행한 결과 관로 탐사를 위한 GPR의 결과는 매우 유용하게 사용될 것으로 판단되며, 이를 바탕으로 누수 발생 이력이 있는 다양한 관로주변 조건을 대상으로 탐사를 실시할 경우 상수관망시스템의 효율적인 관리 및 보수에 매우 유용한 방법이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This paper presents the effect of internal corrosion, external corrosion, material properties, operation condition, earthquake, traffic load and design thickness in pipeline on the failure prediction using a failure probability model. A nonlinear corrosion is used to represent the loss of pipe wall thickness with time. The effects of environmental, operational, and design random variables such as a pipe diameter, earthquake, fluid pressure, a corrosion rate, a material yield stress and a pipe thickness on the failure probability are systematically investigated using a failure probability model for the corrosion pipeline.

Domestic district heating system needs safety management guidelines using the change of surface temperature to detect damages to buried heat pipes. This paper performed numerical analyses on the temperature change of ground surface due to the burial and leakage of heat pipes. Temperature difference between the ground surface above the buried heat pipes and the surrounding surface rises to a crescendo between 3 am and 8 am. It is more significant in winter rather than in summer. Low groundwater level magnifies the temperature increase of the ground surface by the heat pipe, which is smaller in the asphalt pavement than in the bare soil. Without leakage of the buried heat pipe, the temperature increment on the ground surface by the heat pipe is within 3.0℃ in the bare soil and 3.5℃ in the asphalt pavement. Leakage of the supply heat pipe in the bare soil increases the temperature on the ground surface gradually in the summer but rapidly in the winter. Asphalt pavement shows a lower increment and increasing rate of the temperature on the ground surface due to pipe leakage than bare soil surface. And leakage on both sides of the supply pipe takes 1-2 days for the temperature difference from the surrounding soil surface to reach 10℃.

Polyethylene(PE) pipes have been widely used as they are easy to construct and suitable for economical efficient when they are compared with metal pipelines. This paper studied the effect of various external loadings on stress and deflection of the buried PE pipes using Finite Element Method(FEM). For this purpose, stresses of buried PE pipes were calculated according to the loading condition such as pipe types(pipe diameter $50{\sim}400mm$), burial depths($0.6{\sim}1.2m$) and internal pressures($0.4{\sim}4bar$). As a result, it was founded the effect and relation with each of loading conditions under the buried condition.
