본 논문에서는 자기 누설 탐상법을 이용하여 획득한 자기 누설 신호에 SQI(self quotient image)를 적용하여 지하에 매설된 가스 배관에 발생한 결함의 길이를 추정하는 방법을 소개한다. 자기 누설 탐상 시스템(MFL)이 지나간 가스 배관은 탐상 시스템의 영구 자석에 의해 착자(magnetization) 된다. 착자된 가스 배관에 결함이나 부식 등의 손상이 있을 경우 손상 부위에서는 누설 자속이 증가한다. 본 논문에서는 자기 누설 탐상 시스템의 홀센서를 이용하여 누설 자속을 계측한 후 SQI를 적용하여 결함의 길이를 추정한다. 한국가스공사(KOGAS)의 모의 시험 배관(KPSF)에 설치된 74개의 인공결함에 대해 제안한 알고리즘과 기존의 결함 길이 추정 알고리즘들의 성능을 비교하였다.

The spatial variability of geotechnical properties can lead to the uncertainty of settlement for frozen soil foundation around the oil pipeline, and it can affect the stability of permafrost foundation. In this paper, the elastic modulus, cohesion, angle of internal friction and poisson ratio are taken as four independent random fields. A stochastic analysis model for the uncertain settlement characteristic of frozen soil foundation around an oil pipeline is presented. The accuracy of the stochastic analysis model is verified by measured data. Considering the different combinations for the coefficient of variation and scale of fluctuation, the influences of spatial variability of geotechnical properties on uncertain settlement are estimated. The results show that the stochastic effects between elastic modulus, cohesion, angle of internal friction and poisson ratio are obviously different. The deformation parameters have a greater influence on stochastic settlement than the strength parameters. The overall variability of settlement reduces with the increase of horizontal scale of fluctuation and vertical scale of fluctuation. These results can improve our understanding of the influences of spatial variability of geotechnical properties on uncertain settlement and provide a theoretical basis for the reliability analysis of pipeline engineering in permafrost regions.

싱크홀 탐사 등 지반조사를 위한 기술로 개발된 GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar)은 지하시설물 탐사에서 불탐구간을 해소하기 위한 방법으로 한정되어 사용하고 있었다. 정부는 지하시설물 데이터의 정확도 개선을 위하여 2022년 7월부터 비금속 관로 탐사기를 이용한 지하시설물 탐사가 가능하도록 하였다. 그러나 GPR은 점토층 등과 같이 연약지반 같은 수분함량이 높은 지반에서 탐사율도 낮아지고, 정확도에 많은 변동이 발생하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 GPR의 특성과 지하시설물의 환경을 고려한 탐사정확도 향상방안으로 유전률 상수 보정과 GPR 영상자료의 패턴분석을 이용한 지하시설물 GPR탐사 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구를 통하여 GPR 주파수 대역과 이기종 GPR을 적용한 현장검증 결과 지하시설물 탐사의 정확도 향상 및 높은 재현성 결과를 도출하였다.

This paper introduces stress monitoring system for buried gas pipeline in poor ground. During the six months of improvement construction of poor ground, maximum settlement of gas pipeline is about 40 cm. This value represents relative small compared to the initial settlement estimation of ground improvement construction plan, 90 cm. Also, this paper includes the result of finite element analysis of gas pipeline to confirm safety of pipelines in poor ground. The stress monitoring system for gas pipeline was developed to guarantee the safety of buried gas pipeline in poor ground. Eventually, the ground improvement workings are ended safely and it is proved that the pipeline has no safety problem.

상하수도를 포함하는 7대 지하매설배관(상수도, 하수도, 전기, 통신, 가스, 난방, 송유)은 시공에서부터 운영 및 유지관리에 걸친 전 생애 주기 동안 체계적인 관리가 매우 중요하다. 특히, 지하매설배관의 전생애주기에 가장 큰 영항을 미치는 것은 시공과정이다. 새로운 도시를 건설하거나 서로 다른 지하매설배관을 유지관리하기 위해서는 매번 땅을 파고 시공 및 관련 작업을 수행해야 한다. 이 과정에 먼저 시공한 배관은 후에 시공하는 배관 시공 과정에 2차 및 3차 파손이 빈번하게 발생할 수 있는 가능성이 있다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 시공 과정에 일어나는 파손을 실시간으로 감시할 수 있는 시스템이 필요하다. 또한 지하매설배관의 환경에 따라 시스템의 지속적으로 운영하기 위한 전력의 공급이 제한되는 경우가 많아 기존 전력이 아닌 자연에너지를 이용한 안정적인 전력공급 시스템의 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 풍력과 태양광을 이용한 자연에너지를 이용하여 배관감시 시스템을 장기간(24시간 15일) 안정적으로 운영이 가능한 장치를 개발하였으며 이를 현장시험을 거쳐 운전성능을 확인하였다.

In present, most of underground metallic structures, especially gas pipeline, have adopted in order to protect against a corrosion. If a coating defect is be on the surface of gas pipeline, the pitting corrosion is occur normally. So, in the corrosion field, investigation of coating defect is very important activity. In this paper, DCVG(Direct Current Voltage Gradient) method which is can detect a coating defect of gas pipeline is introduced. And also, the assesment of coating defect position according to the position of temporary anode of ICCP(Impresed Current Cathodic Protection) system is presented.

The owner of underground metallic structures (gas pipeline, oil pipeline, water pipeline, etc) has a burden of responsibility for the corrosion protection in order to prevent big accidents like gas explosion, soil pollution, leakage and so on. So far, Cathodic Protection(CP) technology have been implemented for protection of underground systems. The stray current from DC subway system in Korea has affected the cathodic protection (CP) design of the buried pipelines adjacent to the railroads. In this aspect, KERI has developed a various mitigation method, drainage system through steel bar under the rail, a stray current gathering mesh system, insulation method between yard and main line, distributed ICCP(Impressed Current Cathodic System), High speed response rectifier, restrictive drainage system. We installed the mitigation system at the real field and test of its efficiency in Busan and Seoul, Korea. In this paper, the results of field test, especially, distributed ICCP system is described.

Exposed gas pipeline in underground, especially subway construction site, has been continuously vibrated by vehicle above ground. Because this vibration can cause unexpected damages to pipeline, we had measured and analyzed the vibration. This paper presents results of the vibration analysis of exposed gas pipeline and the results are as follows. The major vertical vibration frequency of pipeline was about 13 Hz and the other frequency components disappeared when the vibration transmitted to I-beam and wire rope. Existence of wooden casement had not affect vibration of exposed gas pipeline. The results of modal analysis by experimental and analytical methods have good agreement and it is also shown that exposed pipeline has possibility of resonance at second mode.

Despite efforts to reduce unexpected accidents at confined construction sites, choking accidents continue to occur. Because of the poorly ventilated atmosphere, particularly in long, confined underground spaces, workers are subject to dangerous working conditions despite the use of artificial ventilation. Moreover, the traditional monitoring methods of using portable gas detectors place safety inspectors in direct contact with hazardous conditions. In this study, a long-range (LoRa)-based wireless safety monitoring system that features the network organization, fault-tolerant, power management, and a graphical user interface (GUI) was developed for underground construction sites. The LoRa wireless data communication system was adopted to detect hazardous gases and oxygen deficiency within a confined underground space with adjustable communication range and low power consumption. Fault tolerance based on the mapping information of the entire wireless sensor network was particularly implemented to ensure the reliable operation of the monitoring system. Moreover, a sleep mode was implemented for the efficient power management. The GUI was also developed to control the entire safety-monitoring system and to manage the measured data. The developed safety-monitoring system was validated in an indoor testing and at two full-scale water pipeline construction sites.
