Vibration velocity induced by earthquakes or external vibration sources is one of the integrity assessment indexes, and is also a representative value used to describe the amount of vibration because it is based on a proportional relationship with the damage scale. In this study, the vibration velocity criterion for structures is first examined. Then, based on the velocity criterion, an integrity assessment is performed. Burial condition is set up based on the "Highway and Local Road Design Criteria" with API 5L Gr. X65 pipeline(D=762 mm). The FE model considers DB-24 vehicle load as a time function with a varying velocity in the range of $20{\sim}160\;km/h$. Maximum vibration velocity occurs at v=80 km/h and decreases after v=80 km/h. The maximum vibration velocity of buried pipeline by DB-24 loads is about 0.034 cm/s. The velocity that occurs is in the range of allowable values for each vibration velocity criterion. The wave propagation velocity was identified based on attenuation law and the minimum value appears at vehicle velocity 80 km/h that has maximum vibration velocity.

Residual stresses that occur during the welding process, are the main cause of failure and defects in welded structures. This paper, presents the use of an electronic processing laser speckle interferometer to measure the residual stress of a welded pipe for a nuclear power plant. A tensile testing machine was used to evaluate a welded pipe that failed in compression. The inform plane deformation and modulus of elasticity of the base metal and welds were measured using an interferometer. Varying the load on the welded pipe had a larger effect on the deformation of the base metal the other properties of the base metal and welds. The elastic moduli of the base metal and weld of the welded pipe were 202.46 and 212.14 GPa, respectively, the residual stress was measured to be 6.29 MPa.

A deterministic stress-based methodology has traditionally been applied in pipeline design. Meanwhile, reliability based design and assessment (RBDA) methodology has been extensively applied in offshore or nuclear structures. Lately, the release of ISO standard on reliability based limit state methods for pipelines ISO16708 indicates that the RBDA methodology is one of the newest directions of natural gas pipeline design method. This paper presents a case study of the RBDA procedure for predicting the time-dependent failure probability of pipelines with corrosion defects, where separable Monte Carlo (SMC) method is applied in the reliability estimation for corroded pipeline instead of traditional, crude Monte Carlo(CMC) Method. The result shows the SMC method take advantage of improving accuracy in reliability calculation.

원전의 주요 구조물은 극심한 재해를 초래할 수 있는 자연현상(지진, 쓰나미 등)이 수반하는 극한하중에 견딜 수 있어야 하고 내부의 안전관련 기기의 기능과 만일의 사고(주증기나 고에너지 배관파단사고)시에도 구조적 안전성이 보장되도록 설계.시공되고 있다. 또한 운전원의 조작실수나 오판을 극복할 수 있도록 원자로 고유의 안전성과 자연법칙에 의한 정상유지를 할 수 있는 신기술이 도입되고 있다. 품질보증 계획에 의한 최선의 품질보장, 엄격한 방사선 감시와 온배수 영향의 최소화, 최신방사성 폐기물 처분기술 적용 등을 통하여 기술의존형 에너지인 원자력의 활용증대가 불가피하다고 판단된다.

Deflection and deformation occur easily in structures with long length, such as bridges and pipelines. Shape monitoring is required for ensuring their structural health. A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor can be used for monitoring a large-scale structure because of its advantage of multiplexing. In this study, FBG sensors were used for monitoring a composite beam structure, and its strains were measured at multiple points. Thereafter, a shape estimation technique based on the strains was studied. Particularly, a three-dimensional shape estimation technique was proposed for accurate structural health monitoring. A simple experiment was conducted to verify the performance of the shape estimation technique. The result revealed that the estimated shape of the composite beam structure was in agreement with the actual shape obtained after the deformation of the specimen. Additionally, the deflection at a specific point was verified by comparing the estimated and actual deformations measured using a micrometer.

In the present study, a Cook Book method and a Static System Analysis method were compared with each other on the basis of a seismic design criteria of fire-fighting facilities and analyzed. The Cook Book method is analyzed by dividing a pipeline in each same section. In this method, a stress analysis is not possible except for the section analyzed in such a way that a brace is designed according to the weight of pipe, water and pipe fitting. To the contrary, in case of the Static System Analysis method, the stress analysis for the whole pipeline can be performed because the whole pipeline is regarded as a single structure. For the fatal stress values locally generated, it is necessary to actively perform a pipeline analysis by installing a device capable of locally relieving the stress of the pipeline. In Korea, only the Cook Book method is provided as the seismic design criteria of fire-fighting facilities, which causes many problems with diversification of seismic design. Thus, it is necessary to apply the seismic design method of the pipeline by using various kinds of engineered Static System Analysis methods.

Two acceleration methods, an effective force method (or inertia method) and a large mass method, have been applied for performing time history seismic analysis. The acceleration methods for uncracked structures have been verified via previous studies. However, no study has identified the validity of these acceleration methods for cracked piping. In this study, the validity of the acceleration methods for through-wall cracked piping is assessed via time history implicit dynamic elastic seismic analysis from the viewpoint of linear elastic fracture mechanics. As a result, it is identified that both acceleration methods show the same results for cracked piping if a large mass magnitude and maximum time increment are adequately selected.
