A spiral steel pipe has been more used widely as a structural member as well as transport pipeline because the pipe can be manufactured continuously, consequently more economical than the conventional UOE pipe. As improved pipe manufacture technology makes spiral pipes to have high strength and to have larger diameters, the spiral pipes have been recently used as long distance transport pipeline with a large diameter and strain-based design is thus required to keep structural integrity and cost effectiveness of the spiral pipe. However, design codes of spiral pipe have not been completely established yet, and structural behaviors of a spiral pipe are not clearly understood for strain-based design. In this paper, the effects of residual stresses due to the spiral pipe manufacture process are investigated on the flexural behavior of the spiral pipe. Finite element analyses were conducted to estimate residual stresses due to the manufacturing process for the pipes which have different forming angle, thickness, and strength, respectively. After that, the results were used as initial conditions for flexural analysis of the pipe to numerically investigate its flexural behaviors.

Numerical investigation has been conducted to figure out flow behavior and pressure drop characteristics of spirally corrugated steel pipe which is widely used in civil, industrial and agricultural field owing to many advantages such as good corrosion resistance and durability, strength, easy and quick installation. Also the poly-ethylene coating spirally corrugated steel pipe has the long life under condition of sea water immerged. In the present study, flow behavior in the spirally corrugated pipe and influence of P/d/sub h/(ratio of wave pitch to hydraulic diameter) to pressure drop are investigated by CFD with various Reynolds number. And also friction factor is estimated by pressure drop obtained by flow analysis. According to computation results, the flow runs spirally up and down along the spiral corrugation in the vicinity of wall, but the effect of spiral corrugation disappears in core region of pipe. As P/d/sub h/ becomes small, more pressure drop occurs in spirally corrugated Pipe. Besides, friction factor augmentation becomes much larger as Re increases. In case of p/d/sub h/=0.38, Pressure drop and friction factor of spirally corrugated pipe are about four times larger than smooth pipe at Re: 1.46×10/sup 6/.

This study was carried out to estimate structural stabilities in respect of ground footings of plastic greenhouses on reclaimed lands. A 6m-wide multi-span plastic greenhouse with steel spiral piles as well as two 8.2m-wide single-span greenhouses with steel spiral piles and continuous pipe foundation respectively were built up on a reclaimed land with a SPT N-Value of 2 and measured how much the greenhouses were lifted up and subsided. In addition, the uplift capacity of three kinds of spiral piles(${\phi}50$, ${\phi}75$ and ${\phi}100$) was determined on a nearby reclaimed land. The results showed that the greenhouses with spiral piles had a slight vertical displacement like moving up and down but the scales of the rising up and sinking were negligible when compared to that of the greenhouses. The vertical displacement of the multi-span greenhouse ranged from +9.0mm(uplift) to -11.5mm(subsidence). As for the single-span greenhouses with spiral piles and continuous pipe foundation, the measurements showed that it varied from +1.3mm to -7.7mm and from +0.9mm to -11.2mm, respectively. The allowable uplift capacity of spiral piles could all be determined under criteria of ultimate load and accordingly had a value of 0.40kN, 1.0kN and 2.5kN, respectively. It was not entirely certain enough to make a final judgement on structural stabilities in respect of ground footings, it appeared likely however that the greenhouses with steel spiral piles was tentatively observed without any problems on reclaimed lands within the period.

The compression anchor is characterized by decrement of progressive failure, simple site work, economy and durability compared with tension anchor. In this paper, compression anchor is analysed through the laboratory element tests. The formula to be estimate the grout strength in fixed part of compression anchor and the effective reinforcement method for several types of soil were suggested. The following conclusions were made from this study : (1) A formula, which is able to calculate the grout strength in the fixed part of the compression anchor, is suggested. (2) The strength increment ratios( $R_{si}$) are 100％, 132％, 147％, 217％ according to the reinforcement method of grout. The reinforcement method is Non, Outside spiral, Inside-Outside spiral, Steel pipe, respectively. (3) The strength increment ratios( $R_{si}$) by reinforcing can be 8.23 times the strength increment effect according to the reinforcement types and ground confining pressure. (4) The steel pipe reinforcement is most effective in decomposed soil while, in the case of hard rock ground, high confining pressure is exerted on the grout, so there is no need to use reinforcements.

기초의 지지방식 중 깊은 기초로 분류되는 말뚝기초는 일반적으로 고강도의 기성강관(Spiral Steel Pipe)을 재료로 한 말뚝을 사용하는 것이 설계 및 시공측면에서 유리하나, 현재 국내 외의 치솟는 건설원자재 비용 및 고유가에 따른 장거리 운반비용의 증가와 더불어 건설현장에서의 경제적 부담이 상당부분 증가되고 있는 실정이다. 특히, 개발후진국을 비롯한 건설 산업의 국제적 진출에 대한 활기와 더불어 해외현장 변동상황(원자재의 수급 문제에 따른 공기지연 및 경제성) 등을 고려하면 이에 대한 능동적인 대처가 절실할 수 있다. 본 사례는 중동지역 $\bigcirc\bigcirc$조선소의 이러한 현장여건을 고려하여 중 소하중 규모의 크레인 기초에 적용된 말뚝의 구조 해석적 검토와 지역 지반조건을 반영하여 안정하고 현지조달이 가능한 말뚝 재료의 변경을 제안한 경우이다. 본 검토에서는 기초 말뚝의 정역학적 허용지지력과 기초지반 조건을 고려한 항타관입 분석 및 크레인 이동하중을 고려한 응력해석을 실시하여 최대연직력, 모멘트, 전단력, 응력비 등을 비교하였으며, 동일한 검토조건하에서 결과를 바탕으로 변경 가능한 말뚝을 선정하였다. 기초지반에 대한 적정안전율을 갖는 허용지지력 및 구조적 안정성의 확보가 가능한 콘크리트 말뚝으로의 변경이 가능하며 상부하중 규모에 따라 설치간격에 따른 파일본수의 증 감이 발생되었다.

This research aims to improve the efficiency of production by selecting production configuration with high yield rate and lower error rate based on production history of steel pipe. To achieve this, we identify the properties of various types of MTO(make-to-order) steel pipe products and determine properties affecting yield rate and error rate using decision tree technique. From experimental results, we find out that specification is critical to determine yield rate and error rate of ERW steel pipes with mostly small and medium caliber, and an external diameter range in case of roll benders or spiral steel pipes with mostly large caliber. This research classified and embodied the patterns of yield rate and error rate mathematically by product properties.

The need of geothermal energy is constantly increasing for economical and environmental utilization. Horizontal ground heat exchangers (GHEs) can reduce installation cost and increase efficiency. There are many kinds of GHEs, and it is known that slinky and spiral coil type GHEs show high thermal performance. Therefore, this paper presents experimental results of heat exchange rates in horizontal slinky and spiral coil type GHEs installed in a steel box whose size is $5m{\times}1m{\times}1m$. Dried Joomunjin standard sand was filled in a steel box, and thermal response tests (TRTs) were conducted for 30 hours to evaluate heat exchange rates by changing different pitch spaces of horizontal slinky and spiral coil type GHEs. As a result, spiral coil type GHE showed 30~40% higher heat exchange rates per pipe length than horizontal slinky type GHEs. Furthermore, long pitch interval (Pitch/Diameter=1) showed 200~250% higher heat exchange rates per pipe length than short pitch interval (Pitch/Diameter=0.2) in both spiral coil and horizontal slinky type GHEs, respectively.

The area of facility horticulture in Korea is increasing rapidly, the single-span pipe house which uses galvanized steel pipe as the main rafters occupies 78.7% of the facility area. Lightweight structures such as the single-span pipe house are vulnerable to meteorological disasters such as strong winds, economic losses of the state, local governments and farmers are continuing as construction does not meet the design standards. In order to minimize economic losses in the horticultural specialty facilities sector, the Rural Development Administration has been operating the horticultural disaster resilient standard for horticultural specialty facilities since April 2007. The only standard for the pipe connector is the disaster resilient standard, there is no standard for the uplift capacity of the house pipe foundation and the research on it is also insufficient. The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of uplift capacity according to the foundation type, compaction ratio and embedded depth through soil box test. The results of the maximum uplift capacity according to the type, compaction ratio and embedded depth can be used as the basic data for the basic design of the pipe house conforming to the disaster resilient standard. Due to the limitation of soil box test, it may be different from the behavior of pipe house installed on site. In the future, the field test and the actual pipe house should be made and supplemented by comparing this result with the field test values.
