Since buried pipes contact the soil directly, corrosion by the soil could be occurred. Recently, some stainless steel pipes after 8 years burial at G area were corroded and leaked. In order to elucidate highly corroded phenomena(its rate was about 0.175 mm/y) of these pipes, the investigation for corrosion environment, soil, stray current's effect, and chemical analysis on the pipes were performed. Most of investigated sites were close to traditional water-closet and showed high moisture and thus those areas could be highly corrosive. In the investigation by two kinds of soil evaluation methods, it was revealed that the soils at G areas were highly corrosive, and moreover the contents of sulfate reducing bacteria in the soils were high. Also, open circuit potentials of many pipes showed different values and its potentials were high positive. Therefore, it was considered that corrosion of buried pipes at G area could be affected by high corrosive soil's environment and stray current corrosion.

터널 굴착에 따른 초기 안정성 확보를 위해 1차 지보재인 숏크리트와 록볼트를 가장 적절한 시기에 터널 굴착면 주면으로 타설하여야 한다. 이러한 지보재의 역할은 장 단기적인 터널 안정성에 매우 중요한 역할을 하기 때문이다. 여기서 록볼트는 터널 굴착시 응력이완에 따라 발생되는 외압을 축력으로 받아들여 터널 굴착면의 숏크리트에 전달하여 전체적인 안정성을 도모하는 중요한 지보재이다. 현재까지 록볼트의 재료는 현장 수급이 유리한 이형강봉을 많이 이용하였으나 최근들어 불확실한 품질의 중국산 자재의 시장진입과 록볼트 주면 모르타르 충전시 흘러내림에 의한 밀실한 충전불량, 용수에 의한 부식 등 다양한 문제점이 나타나고 있다. 특히, 현재의 설계기준상 이형강봉에 대한 기계적 성질의 기준은 있으나 그 외 섬유보강 플라스틱(FRP) 등이 사용될 수 있으나 명확한 기준은 제시되지 않고 있다. 그래서 새로운 소재로 개발되더라도 실제 현장 적용에 있어서는 해결해야 할 부분이 많다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 상기의 기존 록볼트가 지니고 있는 여러 문제점을 해결, 개선하고자 Autobeam 재료를 이용한 고강도 강관 록볼트(Samrt Pipe-록볼트, 이하 SP-록볼트)를 개발한 내용을 다루고 있다. 개발된 록볼트의 성능평가를 위해 현장시험을 수행하고, 기존 모르타르 충전을 개선할 수 있는 충전재를 개발하여 록볼트의 성능을 더욱 향상하고자 하였다. 또한, 실무현장의 적용성 확보를 위해 설계 및 시공기준에 대한 연구를 수행하였다.

본 연구에서는 강관압입 공법 적용 시 굴착 선단부에서 수리학적 또는 역학적 불안정으로 인해 발생 가능한 붕괴를 방지하는 목적으로 액체질소를 주입하여 굴착선단부를 안정화하는 공법에 관하여 연구하였다. 강관압입 공법 적용 시 오거 내 중공(中空)에 액체질소 주입관(호스)를 넣어 오거 선단부에 액체질소를 분사하는 방식을 고안하였다. 실내 실험을 위해 직경이 1,000 mm인 강관압입관을 기준으로 1/5축소 모형오거 및 토조를 제작하였다. 화강풍화토로 지반을 조성하여 함수비를 변화시켜가며 액체질소를 주입한 결과 오거 선단부에 동결 구근이 형성되어 강관압입공법 시공 시 발생 가능한 붕괴를 막을 수 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 액체질소를 이용한 동결공법은 지반이 모래일 때 보다는 소성이 있는 화강풍화토일 경우 더 효과적이었으며, 화강풍화토 지반의 경우 함수비가 최적함수비 이상일 경우 동결효율이 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 액체질소 분사시간이 길어질수록 동결범위가 더 커졌으며 인위적으로 함수비를 급격히 증가시켜 수리학적 불안정을 유발해 보았더니 강관과 오거 전면의 지반이 약 120~300초 이내에 동결 되어 관으로 흙이 유입되지 않았으며, 차수효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 이번 연구에서는 강관압입공법 안정화에 미치는 주요 인자에 대하여 액체질소를 이용하여 강관압입공법 시공 시 역학적 수리학적인 불안정이 발생할 경우, 화강풍화토 지반의 경우 붕괴를 막을 수 있는 효율적인 방법이 될 수 있다는 것을 확인하는데 큰 의의를 둔다.

The effects of spot heating for growing the strawberry cultivated in a plastic greenhouse during the winter that were estimated in Nonsan strawberry experiment station located in Chungnam. The temperature of water for heating was controlled by a electric hot water boiler and kept at the range of $22{\sim}24^{\circ}C$. Heating pipes were set up in root zone for root zone heating and very close to crown for crown heating. Spot heating effects were estimated by applying spot heating system in three test factors of heating root zone, crown only and crown plus root zone. The material for crown heating pipe was white low density polyethylene and the nominal diameter of that pipe was 16 mm. The material for root zone heating pipe was flexible stainless steel and the nominal diameter of that pipe was 15A. The flow rate of heating water circulation was 480 L/h and water circulation lasted for all day long. Temperatures, harvest yield by test beds were surveyed from Nov. 10, 2013 to Apr. 29, 2014. The temperature of crown spot for crown heating bed was at the range of $13.0{\sim}17.0^{\circ}C$ during the night and that of crown spot in control bed was at the range of $8.0{\sim}14.0^{\circ}C$. Also, the temperature of root zone for root zone heating bed was at the range of $18{\sim}21.0^{\circ}C$ and that of root zone in control bed was at the range of $13.0{\sim}15.0^{\circ}C$. The cumulative yield growth rate in earlier harvest period (from Dec. 20 to Mar. 15) of crown heating bed was 43% compared with that of control bed and the cumulative yield of crown plus root zone heating bed was 39 % and that of root zone heating bed was 39 %.

기존의 강관이나 주철관 그리고 시멘트 관은 시간의 경과에 따르는 노화현상을 피할 수 없으며, 특히 금속관은 부식으로 인한 수질 악화문제가 크고 누수에 따른 부족한 수자원 보존과 활용에 있어 예기치 않은 문제를 발생시켜 왔다. 따라서 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 하나의 방안으로 지하매설용 유리섬유복합관을 사용하는 것이다. 유리섬유복합관은 충격에 대한 저항성이 우수하고 수명이 50년$\sim$100년 정도로 반영구적이다. 특히 뛰어난 내구성과 시공성이 탁월하여 신소재로 각광받고 있다. 그리고 중량이 가벼워서(강관의 1/4, 시멘트 관의 1/10) 운반 및 설치가 용이하고 공기단축 및 인력절감을 기대할 수 있다. 또한 잦은 관로 보수 및 교체공사에 따른 사회적 경제적 손실을 최소화 할 수 있을 것이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 유리섬유복합관을 이용하여 실내모형실험을 수행하여 관의 응력-변형특성을 평가하였다. 실내모형실험의 경우 관경 200mm와 관경 300mm를 사용하여 하중재하 전과 후의 수직 수평변위 수직 수평토압을 6가지 사례에 대해서 측정하였다. 측정결과 실험값과 이론값 모두 비슷하게 측정되었다. 하지만 현장발생토사를 이용한 유동성 뒤채움재를 사용한 경우, 수직 수평변위는 매우 작게 측정되었고, 토압은 거의 0에 가까운 값으로 계측되었다.

As a countermeasure for reduction of corrosion in the delivery and distribution pipes used for tap water, materials for the pipelines in-houses and the effect of water quality on corrosivity of water pipelines were investigated in the distribution system of Han river. As the corrosion index at 6 water purification facilities of Han river, average Langelier Saturation Index (LI) of raw and finished water were -1.0 and -1.4 respectively and average Larson Index (LR) were 9.5 and 9.9, respectively. And also corrosion potential showed corrosivity in finished water (-431~-462 mV) as well as raw water (-426~-447 mV). This results indicate that tap water quality of han river have corrosivity. To understand the corrosivity effect in pipe material used for premise distribution system, water quality of stagnant tap water and tap water were analyzed and the differences between them were calculated. The difference concentration of iron, copper and zinc were $12.9{\mu}g/L$, $31.0{\mu}g/L$ and $45.0{\mu}g/L$ respectively in galvanized steel pipe for use more than 15 years and showed highest concentration. As a result, the control to corrosivity in the water pipelines, corrosivity control treatment in the water purification system can be applied. In advance it is necessary to monitor corrosivity of water quality using corrosive index because corrosivity may differ from the seasonal and regional characteristics and water chemicals dosage. For the future the guideline for corrosion index have to be established.

To clarify the pioneer group in the development of biofilms in high chlorine residual water, a semi-pilot model system was operated and 16S rDNA V3 targeted PCR-DGGE was submitted. Biofilm formation occurred rapidly in the model of a drinking water distribution system. It reached $10^3\;CFU/cm^2$ or more on the surface of stainless steel, PVC, and galvanized iron in chlorinated (1.0 mg/l) water within a week. Within a week, uncultured Proteobacteria- and Bacillales group-like sequences were detected and Sphingomonas-like sequences were identified from all season and all pipe materials tested. Hence Sphingomonas species were regarded as the potential pioneer group in the development of biofilm in drinking water and this results would be useful for the prevention of biofilm formation and safety of drinking tap water.

The possibility of detecting a crack in L-shaped pipes filled with fluid based on measurement of transverse natural frequencies is examined. The problem is solved by representing the crack by a massless rotational spring, simulating the out-of-plane transverse vibration only without solving the coupled torsional vibration and using the transfer matrix method for solution of the governing equation. The theoretical solutions are verified by experiments. The cracks considered are external, circumferentially oriented and have straight front. Pipes made of aluminium and mild steel are tested with water as internal fluid. Crack size to pipe thickness ratio ranging from 0.20 to 0.57 and fluid (gauge) pressure in the range of 0 to 10 atmospheres are examined. The rotational spring stiffness is obtained by an inverse vibration analysis and deflection method. The details of the two methods are given. The results by the two methods are presented graphically and show good agreement. Crack locations are also determined by the inverse analysis. The maximum absolute error in the location is 13.80%. Experimentally determined variation of rotational spring stiffness with ratio of crack size to thickness is utilized to predict the crack sizes. The maximum absolute errors in prediction of crack size are 17.24% and 16.90% for aluminium and mild steel pipes respectively.
