Leakage of waterworks pipe line net cause loss of water resources, additional foundation of pressurization facilities from pressure loss and soil weakening near leaked pipe line, etc. This is difficult to maintain and manage waterworks pipe line net and to cause serious economic loss. Rate of accounted water is better by monitoring always water pressure and flux, etc. from isolated region, positively dealing with leakage accident and preventing leakage from occurring. Actually after isolating region, average rate of accounted water in this region is 88.94% by continuously monitering control of water pressure and inflow rate. It is about 9.44% more than that of Busan metropolitan city in 2003, 79.5%.

In-situ structural health monitoring of filament wound pressure tanks were conducted during water-pressurizing test using embedded fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors. We need to monitor inner strains during working in order to verify the health condition of pressure tanks more accurately because finite element analyses on filament wound pressure tanks usually show large differences between inner and outer strains. Fiber optic sensors, especially FBG sensors can be easily embedded into the composite structures contrary to conventional electric strain gages (ESGs). In addition, many FBG sensors can be multiplexed in single optical fiber using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) techniques. We fabricated a standard testing and evaluation bottle (STEB) with embedded FBG sensors and performed a water-pressurizing test. In order to increase the survivability of embedded FBG sensors, we suggested a revised fabrication process for embedding FBG sensors into a filament wound pressure tank, which includes a new protecting technique of sensor heads, the grating parts. From the experimental results, it was demonstrated that FBG sensors can be successfully adapted to filament wound pressure tanks for their structural health monitoring by embedding.

Rainfall-induced landslides in a weathered granite soil slope usually happen on shallow slip surfaces above the groundwater table. The pore-water pressure of soil above the groundwater table is usually negative. This negative pore-water pressure (or matric suction) has been found to make a large contribution to the slope stability. Therefore, the variation of in-situ matric suction profiles with time elapse in a soil slope should be understood. In this study, a field measurement program was carried out from June to August, 2001 in order to monitor in-situ matric suctions and volumetric water contents in a weathered granite soil slope. Finite-element transient seepage analyses are also conducted using SEEP/W. The influence of climatic conditions on the variation of in-situ matric suctions could be found to decrease rapidly with the change of depth. It could be found that decrement of matric suction induced by precipitation is affected not only by the amount and duration of rainfalls but also by the initial matric suction just prior to rainstorms. The soil-water characteristic from the field monitoring tends toward the wetting path of SWCC obtained from the laboratory test.

시추공의 구간별 수리전도를 추정하는 방법으로는 수압시험(packer test)이 많이 이용되는데 최근에는 유속측정기(flowmeter)를 이용한 시추공 검층법이 개발되어 활발한 연구가 진행 중이다. 본 연구에서는 열원(heat-pulse) 공급 방식의 유속측정기를 이용하여 공주대학 교내에 설치된 시추공에서 자연 유속(ambient flow) 및 양수 유발 유속(pump-induced flow)을 측정하였으며, 자료를 분석하여 수리전도도의 수직적인 분포를 산정하였다. 분석 결과는 수압시험에 의해 산정된 수리전도도의 분포와 잘 일치하였으며, BIPS에 의해 촬영된 시추공 영상 자료와 비교함으로써 지하수 유동과 관련된 투수성 단열(conductive fracture) 들의 수직적인 위치를 정확하게 파악할 수 있었다. 분석 결과는 암반 대수층 내에 발달된 단열망(fracture network)에 대한 3차원적인 정보를 제공할 수 있으며, 이는 효과적인 지하수 모니터링, 모델링, 및 정화 설계(remedial design)에 필요한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This paper implements a system that monitors human body lifting information in the event of a marine accident. The monitoring system performs ultrasonic communication through a lifting device controller that transmits underwater environment information, and LoRa communication is performed on the water to provide GPS information within 10 km to the control center or mother ship. The underwater lifting controller transmits pneumatic sensor, gyro sensor, and temperature sensor information. In an environment where the underwater conditions increase by one atmosphere of water pressure every 10m in depth, and the amount of air in the instrument decreases by half compared to land, a model of a 60kg underwater mannequin is used. Using one 38g CO2 cartridge in the lifting appliance SMB(Surface Maker Buoy), carry out a lifting appliance discharge test based on the water level rise conditions within 10 sec. Underwater communication constitutes a data transmission environment using a 2,400-bps ultrasonic sensor from a depth of 40m to 100m. The monitoring signal aims to ensure the safety and safe human structure of the salvage worker by providing water depth, water temperature, and directional angle to rescue workers on the surface of the water.

Pressure monitoring is expected to be expanded in a water distribution system according to accelerated development of smart water network management technologies caused by appearances of affordable digital infrastructures like computing, storage and bandwidth. However, the placement of pressure sensors has been determined by engineer's technical decisions since there is no well-defined criteria for deciding a suitable location of pressure sensor. This study presents a placement method of pressure sensors based on the consideration of allowable error in calibrating water network analysis modeling. The proposed method is to find a minimum set of pressure sensors for achieving a reliable management of water transmissions main and increasing the efficiency of their real-time operation. In the case study in Y area's transmission main, the proposed method shows equally distributed pressure sensors in terms of hydraulics. It is expected that the proposed method can be used to manage transmission mains stably and construct a robust real-time network analysis system as a minimal criteria.

In this study, algorithm for the selecting the optimum monitoring location and leakage detection algorithm based on back tracing calculation method were developed and verified by the experiments in pilot plant of water distribution system. First of all, optimum monitoring locations were selected and pressure changes were measured due to artificial leakage by pressure gauges in pilot plant. Simulations of leakage detection was performed for the verification of back tracing calculation method as a leakage detection method. From the results, it was found that leakage locations and leakage amount were exactly estimated. Various leakage amount from $0.0005m^3/s$ to $0.0018m^3/s$ were reproduced and leakage location was detected by back tracing calculation method. It was verified that back tracing calculation method as a leakage detection method is effective.

Recently, hydraulic fracturing is used in various fields and microseismic monitoring is one of the best methods for judging where hydraulic fractures exist and how they are developing. When locating microseismic events using single vertical well data, distances from the vertical array and depths from the surface are generally decided using time differences between compressional (P) wave and shear (S) wave arrivals and azimuths are calculated using P wave hodogram analysis. However, in field data, it is sometimes hard to acquire P wave data which has smaller amplitude than S wave because microseismic data often have very low signal to noise (S/N) ratio. To overcome this problem, in this study, we developed a grid search algorithm which can find event location using all combinations of arrival times recorded at receivers. In addition, we introduced and analyzed the method which calculates azimuths using S wave. The tests of synthetic data show the inversion method using all combinations of arrival times and receivers can locate events without considering the origin time even using only single phase. In addition, the method can locate events with higher accuracy and has lower sensitivity on first arrival picking errors than conventional method. The method which calculates azimuths using S wave can provide reliable results when the dip between event and receiver is relatively small. However, this method shows the limitation when dip is greater than about $20^{\circ}$ in our model test.
