산업현장에서는 파이프 또는 탱크류의 1GR용접에서 안정적인 이면비드를 가지는 루트패스 용접을 위해 2~3mm의 루트갭을 띄우고 용접봉 또는 필러와이어를 사용하는 TIG용접을 주로 한다. TIG용접은 고품질의 이면비드가 얻어지며, 용접인자의 제어가 쉽다는 장점이 있어 루트패스 용접에 많이 사용되고 있지만, 루트갭을 띄우면 이면비드는 잘 얻어지지만 용착금속량이 많아지게 되어 제작원가가 상승되고, 또한 소모성 와이어를 사용하는 GMAW에 비해 생산성이 낮다. 따라서, 안정적인 이면비드를 가지면서 생산성이 높은 1GR GMAW 루트패스 용접공정의 개발이 요구되지만, 이 경우도 루트갭이 2~3mm로 정해져 있으면 Fit-up공정에서 공수가 많이 필요하므로 근본적으로 루트갭이 없는 그루브에 대한 루트패스 용접이 더 바람직하다. 본 연구에서는 루트면 2.7mm를 가지는 U-그루브의 갭 없는 루트패스 용접에서 안정적인 이면비드가 형성되는 조건을 검토하기 위해 2.7t의 평판에 대하여 경사상진 각을 주고 기초 실험 후, U-그루브 맞대기 용접 실험을 진행하였다. 이 때, 경사상진 각은 용융금속이 중력으로 인해 아크 후방으로 밀리게 되고, 그로 인해 아크가 모재에 직접 닿게 되어 용입이 더 깊게되므로, 이면비드의 형성에 더 유리하다. 두께 2.7t의 연강 시편 2개를 갭 없는 I-그루브 맞대기 이음에서 Ǿ1.2 연강 솔리드 와이어를 사용하여 GMAW용접을 실시하였고, 용접전류, 용접속도, 경사상진 각, 위빙 폭, 위빙 주파수를 변경하여 각 조건에 대한 이면비드를 관찰하였다. 그 결과 경사상진 각 $25^{\circ}$, 전류 200A, 위빙폭 3mm, 위빙주파수 3Hz의 조건에서 안정적인 이면비드를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한, 현장에서 Fit-up중 발생할 수 있는 루트갭의 문제에 대하여 루트갭 1.2mm의 I-그루브 맞대기 용접에서 경사상진 각, 위빙 폭, 위빙 주파수는 갭 없이 실시한 실험에서 얻어진 가장 안정적인 결과를 사용하였고, 용접 전류, 용접 속도를 변경하여 이면비드를 관찰하였다, 그 결과 갭이 없을 때보다 약 80A 낮은 전류 조건인 120A에서 안정적인 이면비드를 얻을 수 있었다. 앞선 실험들을 기초로 하여 U-그루브 맞대기 용접을 실시 하였고, I-그루브 맞대기 용접에서 사용한 조건들과 유사한 용접 전류, 용접 속도에서 안정적인 이면비드를 얻을 수 있었다.

An analytical study was conducted using the Galerkin technique to determine behaviour of thin fibrereinforced and laminated composite pipes under soil pressure. Geometric nonlinearity and material linearity have been assumed. It is assumed that vertical and lateral soil pressure are proportional to the depth and lateral displacement of the pipe respectively. It is also assumed that radial shear stress is negligible because the ratio of thickness to the radius of pipe is very small. The above results are verified by the finite element analysis.

Among the sewage pipes installed in Korea, the length of concrete pipes exceeding 20 years is 66,334 km (42.5%). Deteriorated concrete sewer pipes need to be repaired due to the leakage of internal sewage, which causes problems such as sink holes by expanding the cavity around the pipeline. In this study, we tried to apply anti-washout underwater mortar with ultra rapid hardening cement and segregation reducing agent to sewage pipe repair. As a result of the setting time test, the final set time was delayed by up to 172% by incorporating segregation reducing agent. In the test for measuring the degree of mortar segregation in water, it was measured at pH 12 or less under all mixing conditions. In addition, the suspension amount was measured to be 50 mg / l or less to satisfy the KCI-AD102 standard by incorporating a segregation reducing agent. In terms of the average value of mortar compressive strength, by incorporating segregation reducing agent, the strength of the specimens produced in air was more than 80% of that of the specimens produced in water. Conversely, the bond strengths of the specimens produced in water were measured to be higher than those of the specimens produced in air. Water resistance was evaluated by measuring water absorption and water permeability. Water absorption and water permeability were reduced by 42.6% and 36.6%, respectively, by mixing segregation reducing agent.

There have been a number of water and sewer pipe breakdown reports followed by ground subsidence. Also, the excavating works for construction due to overcrowding of city have been common. Particularly, in urban areas ground becomes unstable because of the lowered lifeline sinkage followed excavation and backfilling. In order to solve the problem, some reinforcement works for ground by rod tamping or grouting have been applied. However, it is hard to predict when the buried utilities in underground will be damaged. Also, there is a limit for the underground exploration and investigation methods. Therefore, in this study, the estimated about the water soluble polymer pouch including poor mixed admixture which is designed to eliminate the dangerous factors. The reinforcement strength of this method was confirmed by verifying three points: meltiness in a certain period, water solubility in the ground water level, and characteristics of the pouch, which can be stored in daily conditions. It is also proved that this method allows to keep the ground from getting weakened in the installation of water and sewer pipe along with back filling materials.

Purpose: Pipes are widely used as applied devices in many industrial fields such as machinery, electronics, electricity, and plants, and are also widely used in safety-related fields such as firefighting and chemistry. With the diversification of products, the importance of technology in the piping field is also increasing. In particular, when changing the existing copper pipe to stainless steel, it is necessary to evaluate safety and flow characteristics through structural analysis or flow analysis. Method: This study investigated the structural stability of the 6.35 and 15.88 socket models, which are integrated insert type connectors developed by a company, using FEM. For structural analysis, HyperMesh as pre-processor, HYPER VIEW as post-processor, and LS-DYNA as solver were used. Result: In the case of 6.35 socket, the maximum stresses at hook, holder and hinge were 95.02MPa, 19.59MPa and 44.01MPa, respectively, and in case of 15.88 socket, it was 127.7 MPa, 40.09MPa and 45.23MPa, respectively. Conclusion: Comparing the stress distribution of the two socket models, the stress in the 15.88 socket, which has a relatively large outer diameter, appears to be large overall, but it is significantly lower than the yield stress of each material, indicating that there is no problem in structural safety in both models.

In this study, characteristics of effect on hydrogen gas was investigated to hydrogen embrittlement by disk and tensile tests. The developed and commercial alloy was fabricated to a plate material made from an alloy ingot. The prepared materials were processed in the form of a disk to measure rupture pressure by hydrogen and helium gas at a rate of 0.1 to 1,000 bar/min. In the hydrogen pre-charged tensile test, a specimen was hydrogenated using an anode charging method, and the yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, elongation, and reduction in area rate were carried by a strain rate test. Also, the microstructure was observed to the fracture surface of the tensile test specimen. As a result, the developed materials satisfied endurable hydrogen embrittlement, and the fractured surface showed a brittleness fracture surface with a depth of several ㎛, but dimple due to ductile fracture could be observed.

Recently, there have been frequent occurrences of ground sink in the urban area, which have resulted in human and material damage and are accompanied by economic losses. This is caused by artificial factors such as soil loss, poor compaction, horizontal excavation due to the breakage of the aged sewage pipe, and lack of water proof at vertical excavation. The ground sink can be prevented by preliminary restoration and reinforcement through exploration, but it can be considered that it is not suitable for urgent restoration by the existing method. In this study, a model experiment was carried out to simulate the in-ground cavities caused by groundwater flow for developing non-excavation urgent restoration in underground cavity and the range of the relaxation zone was estimated by detecting the around the cavity using a relaxation zone detector. In addition, disturbance region and relaxation region were separated by injecting gypsum into cavity formed in simulated ground. The shape of the underground cavity due to the groundwater flow was similar to that of the failure mode III formed in the dense relative density ground due to water pipe breakage in the previous study. It was confirmed that the relaxed region detected using the relaxation zone detector is formed in an arch shape in the cavity top. The length ratio of the relaxation region to the disturbance region in the upper part of the cavity center is 2: 1, and it can be distinguished by the difference in the decrease of the shear resistance against the external force. In other words, it was confirmed that the secondary damage should not occur in consideration of the expandability of the material used as the injecting material in the pre-repair and reinforcement, and various ground deformation states will be additionally performed through additional experiments.

The Chuncheon Mullori area is an underprivileged area of water welfare where local water supply is not supplied, and it is supplying water to the villages with small water supply facilities using lateral flow and groundwater as water sources. This is an area with poor water supply conditions, such as relying on water trucks due to water shortages during the recent severe drought. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of water shortage during drought and to prepare for the increasing water demand, a sand dam was installed along the valley, and this facility has been operating since May 2022. In this study, repeated simulations were performed according to the hydraulic conductivity of the filler material and the storage coefficient value for the inflow condition for about two years from mid-March 2020 to mid-March 2022. For each case, the amount of discharge through the perforated drain pipe was calculated. Overall, as the hydraulic conductivity increased, the amount of discharge and its ratio increased. However, when the hydraulic conductivity of the second floor was relatively low, the amount of discharge increased and then decreased as the hydraulic conductivity of the third floor increased. This is considered to be due to the fact that the water level was kept low due to the rapid drainage compared to the net inflow into the third floor because the water permeability of the third floor and the drainage coefficient of the drain pipe were large. As a result of simulating the flow of the open channel in the upper part of the sand dam as a hypothetical groundwater layer with very high hydraulic conductivity, the decrease in discharge rate was slower than the increase in the hydraulic conductivity of the hypothetical layer, but it was clearly shown that the discharge volume decreased relatively as the hydraulic conductivity of the virtual layer increased.

In order to excavate underground tunnel most safely such as Han river, the slurry shield TBM method is applied to cope with face of high water pressure for many metro projects. In downtown subway project most of excavated soil is discharged externally whereas in road construction excavated soil is used as filling materials so it becomes important factor for success of the project. After excavated soil, weathered rock and soft rock are discharged with bentonite through discharge pipe to slurry treatment plant then those soils are separated in separation plant according to those size. Fine grained soil has been discarded together with filter cake but it is not toxic and can be mixed with coarse aggregate in proper ratio so this study is performed to find use of qualified filling material to meet quality standard. Therefore, in this study, legal standards and quality standards for the utilization of excavated soil of the slurry shield TBM method were examined and test was conducted to derive recycling way for filter cake and aggregate. And a plan for using it as a filling material for road construction was derived. Because bentonite is a clay composed of montmorillonite, and the excavated soil in the tunnel is also non-toxic, disposal of this material can waste social cost so it is expected to be helpful in the underground space development project that carries out the TBM project by recycling it as a valuable resource.

Conventionally, because evaluation methods of the bearing capacity for double steel pipe-concrete composite pile design have not been established, the conventional vertical bearing capacity equations for steel hollow pile are used. However, there are severe differences between the predictions from these equations, and the most conservative one among vertical bearing capacity predictions are conventionally adopted as a design value. Consequently, the current prediction method for vertical bearing capacity of composite pile prediction composite pile causes design reliability and economical feasibility to be low. This paper investigated mechanical behaviors of a new composite pile, with a cross-section composed of double steel pipes filled with concrete (DSCT), vertical bearing capacities were analyzed for several DSCT pile conditions. Axisymmetric finite element models for DSCT pile and surrounding ground were created and they were used to analyze effects on behaviors of DSCT pile pile by embedding depth, stiffness of plugging material at pile tip, height of plugging material at pile tip, and rockbed material. Additionally, results from conventional design prediction equations for vertical bearing capacity at steel hollow pile tip were compared with that from numerical results, and the use of the conventional equations for steel hollow pile was examined to apply to that for DSCT pile.
