In this study, numerical analysis and model experiments were conducted to analyze behavioral characteristics acting on the track roadbed with excavation through steel pipe injection, a non-exclusive method of crossing construction under railroad as primary target. In model experiments that simulate injection excavation behaviors with an increase in the depth of soil cover, the upper displacement was measured by construction of the first and the second pipes in order to predict actual behaviors, and the behavior characteristics were verified through numerical analysis. The investigation results showed that surface displacement was smaller under the condition of higher soil cover. In the case of injecting two pipes, when the first pipe was injected, deformation of the surface increased linearly in both settlement and uplift experiments. However, when the second pipe was injected, the amount of change was found to be very small due to the relaxation and plastic zones around the first pipe. In addition, the results of numerical analysis on the same cross section with the model experiment found that the results of investigation into settlement ratio and volume loss were in very good agreement with those obtained by the model experiment.

Maintaining the integrity of the major equipment in nuclear power plants is critical to the safety of the structures. In particular, the soundness of the piping is a critical matter that is directly linked to the safety of nuclear power plants. Currently, the limit state of the piping design standard is plastic collapse, and the actual pipe failure is leakage due to a penetration crack. Actual pipe failure, however, cannot be applied to the analysis of seismic fragility because it is difficult to quantify. This paper proposes methods of measuring the failure strain and deformation angle, which are necessary for evaluating the quantitative failure criteria of the steel pipe elbow using an image measurement system. Furthermore, the failure strain and deformation angle, which cannot be measured using the conventional sensors, were efficiently measured using the proposed methods.

This paper proposes a residual stress mitigation of a nuclear safety-related austenitic stainless steel TP304 pipe bended by local induction heating process via performing elastic-plastic finite element analysis. Residual stress distributions of the pipe bend were calculated by performing finite element analysis. Validity of the finite element analysis procedure was verified via comparing with temperature histories measured by using thermocouples, ultrasonic thickness measurement results, and residual stress measurement results by a hole-drilling method. Parametric finite element stress analysis was performed to investigate effects of the process and geometric shape variables on the residual stresses on inner surfaces of the pipe by applying the verified procedure. As a result of the parametric analysis, it was found that it is difficult to considerably reduce the inner surface residual stresses by changing the existing process and geometric shape variables. So, in order to mitigate the residual stresses, effect of an additional process such as cooling after the bending on the residual stresses was investigated. Finally, it was identified that the additional heating after the bending can significantly reduce the residual stresses while other variables have insignificant effect.

Metal sealing is used to connecting the parts between valves and fuel pipes for a FCEV which utilizes hydrogen gas of 700 bar. Instead of general carbon steel, stainless steel is the primary material used to manufacture fuel pipes due to hydrogen embrittlement. The shape of deformation between metals is an important factor on the air-tightness of the metal to metal contact. Since the stainless steel pipe is hardened using the plastic forming during the tip shaping stage, this work hardening could have an effect on the deformed shape and characteristics of contact surfaces in fastening of pipes. In this paper, the deformation history of the pipe model was considered in order to analyze the hydrogen-tightness on the metal sealing part. The contact distance and the forward displacement for fastening were compared using experimental results and the simulation results. The simulation of the effect of material change on the fitting body demonstrated that the hardness or the strength of the formed tip of the pipe was designed to a proper valued level since the characteristics of the contact surface was exhibited better when the strength of the pipe was lower than that of the fitting body.

The pipelines and equipments are degraded by flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC), and a large-scale test facility was constructed for simulate the FAC phenomena in secondary coolant environment of PWR type nuclear power plants. Using this facility, FAC test was performed on weld pipe (carbon steel and low alloy steel) at the conditions of high velocity flow (> 10 m/s). Wall thickness was measured by high temperature ultrasonic monitoring systems (four-channel buffer rod type and waveguide type) during test period and room temperature manual ultrasonic method before and after test period. This work deals with the complex effects of flow velocity on the wall thinning in weld pipe and the test results showed that the higher flow velocity induced different increasement of wall thinning rate for the carbon steel and low alloy steel pipe.

A pipe jacking method complements the excavation method and it is a non-excavation method which is thrust in the earth. On that score, using the pipe jacking method is increased because of constructability and economical efficiency in a medium or small-sized pipeline construction. However, a pipe jacking method still has several problems that the base ground is disturbed and loosen. Especially, where some sites have boulders, gravels and foreign bodies, the foundation is brought about deformation, settlement and leakage of water. Thus, the end of the construction the ground should be reinforced by grouting and it occur with additional expenses. Therefore, a steel pipe jacking method with grouting, Grout In Pipe, is devised newly to complement the existing method. In this study, it describes a new method and verifies efficiency, an application and practicality of the method through a experimental construction.

본 연구에서는 리브로 보강된 GFRP(Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic) 관로의 탄성 좌굴 강도를 산정하였다. 보강된 리브의 두께, 높이, 배치 간격은 관로의 좌굴 강도에 영향을 미치는 주요 인자이다. 또한, GFRP 재료는 이방성 재료이므로, 재료의 방향별 강성 또한 관로의 좌굴강도에 영형을 미치는 인자로서 고려되어야할 부분이다. 이러한 매개변수를 적용하여, 직교 이방성 재료로 구성된 리브 보강 관로의 좌굴 강도를 유한요소 해석을 이용하여 매개변수를 수행하고, 회귀분석을 통하여 좌굴 강도 산정을 위한 간략식을 제시하였다.

국내에서는 연료 가스 배관용 탄소강관으로 KS D 3631의 기준을 따르도록 되어있으며, 탄소강관이 지하에 매설되는 경우 부식을 방지하기 위해 강관에 합성수지로 피복을 한다. 피복은 부식 방지 조치를 하는 것으로 압축된 연료가스를 이송하는데 필요한 강도는 원관인 탄소강관이 그 역할을 수행한다. 따라서 탄소강관에 결함이 발생하였을 때, 그 결함에 따른 강도를 평가하는 것이 중요한데 국내에는 잔존강도를 평가하기 위한 방법이 부족하다. 결국 국외 기준인 DNV RP F101 또는 ASME B31G의 기준에 따라 잔존강도를 평가하는데, 그 결과가 국내 배관에 적용 타당성이 있는지 검증이 부족하며, 85% 이상의 결함에 대해서는 예측 할 수 없다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 KS D 3631의 배관을 이용하여 인위적 결함을 가공하여 잔존강도를 평가하기 위한 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 폭에 따라서 일정한 잔존강도의 차이를 보이며, 국내 연료 가스용 배관에는 DNV RP F101이 적합하다는 결론을 도출하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 결함 깊이가 큰 경우에 대한 결과와 타당한 국의 기준을 파악하기 위한 결과를 포함하고 있어, 배관의 잔존강도를 이용한 위험성 평가 등에 유용하게 활용될 것으로 기대한다.

In this study, the physical properties and fracture characteristics according to the tensile load are evaluated on the materials of the polymeric filler and carbon fiber-based composite sleeve technique. The polymeric filler and the composite sleeve technique are applied to areas where the pipe body thickness is reduced due to corrosion in large-diameter water pipes. First, the tensile strength of the polymeric filler was 161.48~240.43 kg_f/cm², and the tensile strength of the polyurea polymeric filler was relatively higher than that of the epoxy. However, the tensile strength of the polymeric filler is relatively very low compared to ductile cast iron pipes(4,300 kg_f/cm²<) or steel pipes(4,100 kg_f/cm²). Second, the tensile strength of glass fiber, which is mainly used in composite sleeves, is 3,887.0 kg_f/cm², and that of carbon fiber is up to 5,922.5 kg_f/cm². The tensile strengths of glass and carbon fiber are higher than ductile cast iron pipe or steel pipe. Third, when reinforcing the hemispherical simulated corrosion shape of the ductile cast iron pipe and the steel pipe with a polymeric filler, there was an effect of increasing the ultimate tensile load by 1.04 to 1.06 times, but the ultimate load was 37.7 to 53.7% compared to the ductile cast iron or steel specimen without corrosion damage. It was found that the effect on the reinforcement of the corrosion damaged part was insignificant. Fourth, the composite sleeve using carbon fiber showed an ultimate load of 1.10(0.61T, 1,821.0 kg_f) and 1.02(0.60T, 2,290.7 kg_f) times higher than the ductile cast iron pipe(1,657.83 kg_f) and steel pipe(2,236.8 kg_f), respectively. When using a composite sleeve such as fiber, the corrosion damage part of large-diameter water pipes can be reinforced with same level as the original pipe, and the supply stability can be secured through accident prevention.
