우리나라의 가스소비량은 매년 크게 증가하고 있다. 본고에서는 국내에서 발생한 가스사고를 분석하고 배관건전성 평가방안 및 안전성 확보방안에 대하여 국내외 분석자료들을 정리하고 그 내용을 검토하였다. 국내 가스사고 자료는 배관손상뿐 아니라 각종가스 사고가 포함된 광범위한 데이터 자료이다. 국내 가스배관이 대부분 매설된 지 얼마안된 상태로서 손상사례가 드물어 매설배관에 대한 손상사례 자료의 체계적인 수집 및 분석이 아직 이루어지지 못하고 있다. 본 보에서 제시하는 데이터는 천연가스뿐 아니라 LPG나 일반가스까지 포함된 자료들로서 앞서 제시한 외국의 데이터와 직접적인 비교는 어려운 상황이다. 또한 가스배관 건전성 확보는 매우 중요한 사항이지만 이에 대한 체계적인 연구가 국내에선 상당히 미흡한 실정이다. 본보에서는 미국의 사례를 중심으로 배관 손상시 원인규명 방법과 손상 억제방안 및 배관손상 조기감지 체계 등에 관하여 설명하도록 한다.

Systematic management during the whole life cycle from construction to operation and maintenance is very important for the seven underground pipelines (waterworks, sewerage, electricity, telecommunications, gas, heating, oil including waterworks and sewerage). Especially, it is the construction process that affects the whole life cycle of underground buried pipeline. In order to construct a new city or to maintain different underground pipes, it is always necessary to dig the ground and carry out construction and related work. There is a possibility that secondary and tertiary breaks frequently occur in the pipeline construction process after the piping constructed first in this process. To solve this problem, a system is needed which can monitor damage in real time. However, the supply of electric power for continuous operation of the system is limited according to the environment of underground buried pipelines, so it is necessary to develop a stable electric power supply system using natural energy rather than existing electric power. In this study, we developed a system that can operate the pipeline monitoring system for long time (24 hours and 15 days) using natural energy using wind and solar light.

River crossing pipelines have been being operated with buried depth of 1.2~4m underneath river bottom to prevent buoyance and external impact. River crossing pipelines have to show resistance to soil load and hydrostatic pressure. In this study, structural integrity of the river crossing pipeline subjected to soil load and hydrostatic pressure was evaluated by using FE analyses. Hoop stress increased with increasing buried depth under identical water height in case of without concrete encasement, however, hoop stress decreased with increasing water height under identical buried depth.

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.

In order to make the critical path analysis of gas pipeline located under rigid pipes for interference behavior, FE analysis is performed considering real buried conditions of a drain and a gas pipe according to intersection angle of two pipes. A drain pipe and gas pipe have cover depth respectively 1.0m and 3.39m and this study considers a interference angle in the range of $0{\sim}90^{\circ}$. In this paper, the critical path is analyzed from the result of Ring Deflection and bending stress according to intersection angle. In the event intersection angle of two pipes equal to the critical path of lower pipe. The analysis results show that the critical path of lower gas pipe according to interference behavior has relation to intersection angle of two pipes.

According to the requirements of ANSI B3l.8, the pipe thickness is determined with hoop stress resulted from internal pressure. And the other loads induced by soil, vehicle, thermal expansion, ground subsidence, etc shall be evaluated rationally. There are two ways of calculating stress of buried gas pipeline. The first is FEM. FEM can calculate the stress regardless of the complexity of pipeline shape and boundary conditions. But it needs high cost and long time. The second is the way to use equation. The reliable equations to calculate the stress of buried gas pipeline was developed and have been used in designing pipeline and evaluating pipeline safety, But these equation are very difficult to understand and use for non-specialist. For easy calculation of non-specialist, the new computer program to calculate stress of buried natural gas pipeline have been developed. The stress is calculated by the equations and extrapolation of the graph resulted from FEM. The full paper is consist of series I and II. In this paper, series I, the calculating equation of the program is explained in detail.

The thickness of buried gas pipeline is determined mainly with internal pressure and location factor according to the requirements of ANSI B3l.8. But the stress of buried gas pipeline is determined by not only internal stress but also external loads. The change of burying and environmental conditions, therefore, may result in increasing stress of pipeline. In order to avoid the decrease of safety degree resulting from change of environmental condition, the evaluation of stress level shall be necessary. The reliable equations have been developed for calculating stress of buried pipeline from internal pressure, earth load, vehicle load, ground subsidence. But they are very difficult to understand and use for non-specialist. For easy calculation of non-specialist, the new computer program to calculate stress of buried natural gas pipeline have been developed. The program can calculate maximum stress resulted from earth load, vehicle load, thermal load, four type ground subsidence. The stress is calculated by the equations and extrapolation of the graph resulted from FEM. In this paper, as the series of paper I, the operating method and the functions of the program is explained.

최근 노후한 기존 구조물의 교체 및 건물 증축으로 인하여, 도심지 내 공사 현장 및 주변 지반에 매설된 지중 배관은 차량 이동 하중 및 건설 장비 하중 등의 진동에 노출이 되어있는 실정이다. 이러한 장비하중이 매설배관에 미치는 영향을 분석, 예측하기 위하여 실증 실험 결과를 토대로 모델을 검증하고 수치해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 최대 발생 응력은 외관은 $270^{\circ}$에서, 내관은 $180^{\circ}$에서 발생 하였으며, 이는 폴리우레탄 보온재의 하중 분산 효과로 설명 할 수 있다.

This study has been carried out to evaluate the reliability by examining the properties related to durability of commercially available coating systems in domestic. For this purpose slow crack growth resistance and oxidative induction time tests were introduced, which have been accepted as durability parameters in polyethylene pipes with low pressure. Based upon the experimental results on these parameters, desirable minimum values are proposed for the durability enhancement of the polyethylene coatings.

Various pipes are buried in the city as needed, such as water pipes, gas pipes and hydrogen pipes. As the time passes, buried pipes becomes aged due to crack, etc. these pipes has the risk of accidents such as explosion and leakage. To prevent the risks, many pipes are repaired or replaced, but the location of the pipes can also be changed. Failure to identify the location of the altered pipe may cause an accident by touching the pipe. In this paper, we propose a method to detect buried pipes by gathering the GPR images by using GPR and Learning with Faster R-CNN. Then experiments was carried out by raw data sets and data sets augmentation applied to increase the amount of images.
