In Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) for buried object detection, it is important to identify a buried target because removal of an unwanted target requires as much time and effort as does a wanted target. For a simulation of the target identification, the FDTD (Finite Difference Time Domain) and PML (Perfectly Matched Layer) techniques are widely used. Simulation results vary depending on the type of the buried object and the position of the source. As a result, this paper illustrates the range (time) profile of the five types of facilities including PEC (Perfect Electric Conductor) rectangular box and pipes, and shows the comparison of the range profile of the buried facilities.

This paper discusses the system design of a synthetic aperture radar system based on a pulse-echo radar. The design consists of an ultra-wide bandwidth antenna, an amplitude modulation, timing stabilities, and high speed a/d conversions with an equivalent-time sampling. Experiment results show that GPR(Ground Penetrating Radar) can be used to explore buried electric facilities.

We introduced the Excavation One Call System (EOCS) as a pilot system, in Seoul, Korea. The system utilizes the phone and internet to transfer information about digging underground and buried gas pipelines, although currently written forms are used in accordance with the City Gas Business Law. After one year, we evaluated the business model by surveying the excavators and the operators of the gas companies. This paper shows that the EOCS was more effective in preventing the buried gas pipelines from being damaged than the existing method that has to use due form. It also shows that the EOCS was more convenient and cost efficient than the present policies in place. We come to the conclusion that the EOCS should be extended nationwide and gradually include other subsurface facilities.

In this paper, the secular changes of buried grounding electrodes was investigated; the electrodes are such facilities as grounding grid, grounding connector, grounding terminal and grounding rod etc.. The corrosiveness of removed substation grounding electrodes after commercial operation more than 50 years was measured and its conductivity deterioration trend was analyzed. The measuring results using three experimental methods were compared, finally the consideration for safe and economic grounding design were shown. As the result, it shows the maintenance necessity of grounding systems.

지하에 매설되어 있는 도시가스배관은 부식성 없는 유체이기 때문에 화학플랜트배관보다는 상대적으로 안전하다. 그러나, 도시가스는 일반적으로 도심지역에 공급됨으로 공급지역의 여러 간섭시설물과 환경에 의한 부식과 시설물의 굴착공사로 야기되는 제 3자 사고등으로 큰 사고를 야기할 수 있다. 특히 지하매설된 배관이므로, 배관의 손상여부를 파악하고 검사하는 것이 상당히 난해하다. 따라서, 본 고에서는 지하매설배관의 위험성 개념을 도입하여, 위험지역 배관을 선정하여 관리하는 것으로 접근하였다. 여기서 위험성은 부식요인, 설계 및 시공요인, 유지관리요인으로 파악하여 나타내었고, 배관의 정성적인 위험성을 점수로 표현하여, 정량적인 숫자로 표현하였다. 또한 Key 인자 개념과 비용에 대한 손상보완대책 개념을 프로그램에 도입하여, 신뢰성과 안전경영에 도움이 되리라 생각된다. 본 위험성 평가 프로그램은 비쥬얼 베이직을 사용하여 개발하였고, GIS와 연계하였다.

The underground transmission lines which have been built to expand the suppling facilities will be continuously accompanying with high growth of the increase of power demand in the metropolitan area in recent years. So, it is necessary to maximize the ability and reliability of power supply with the current-carrying capability of the underground transmission lines. Design criteria of KEPCO is to be presented and used frequently. But it has to be studied about the installation methods of power cable buried in ground. In this study, we used the program for calculating the current-carrying capability of underground transmission power cables. We estimated the maximum permissible current values by the horizontal arrangement in the installation methods of power cable(154kV XLPE $600mm^2$) buried ducts in ground. To see the general tendency of the analysis, we researched a statistical analysis with such parameters as the maximum permissible current values. Through the regression analysis, we analyze the most highly values of the maximum permissible current on the Ra type duct arrangement.

During the installation of crude oil or gas pipelines, which pass through onshore buried pipelines or onshore pipeline from subsea pipeline to onshore plant, countermeasures need to be implemented so as to ensure a sufficient design life by protecting the steel pipes against corrosion. This can be achieved through impressed current cathodic protection method for onshore pipelines and through galvanic sacrificial anode corrosion protection method for offshore pipelines. In particular, in the case of impressed current cathodic protection, isolation joint flanges should be used. However, this makes maintenance control difficult with its installation having a negative impact on price. Therefore, in this study, the most suitable methodology for onshore pipeline protection between galvanic sacrificial anode corrosion protection and impressed current cathodic protection method will be introduced. In oil and gas transportation facilities, the media can be carried to the end users via onshore buried and/or offshore pipeline. It is imperative for the field operators, pipeline engineers, and designers to be corrosion conscious as the pipelines would undergo material degradations due to corrosion. The mitigation can be achieved with the introduction of an impressed current cathodic protection method for onshore buried pipelines and a galvanic sacrificial anode corrosion protection method for offshore pipelines. In the case of impressed current cathodic protection, isolation joint flanges should be used to discontinuity. However, this makes maintenance control to be difficult when its installation has a negative impact on the price. In this study, the most suitable corrosion protection technique between galvanic sacrificial anode corrosion protection and impressed current cathodic protection is introduced for (economic life of) onshore buried pipeline.

Lifeline system such as oil or gas pipelines and water supply facilities are vulneratble to seismic damages because they are widely exposed to ground failures. Most seismic design criteria of buried pipelines are based on the notion that the longitudinal compressive strain and therefore buckling controls the design. Buckling analysis of buried pipelines subjected to seismic loading is performed by considering the seismic load as the sinusoidally distributed compressive load on the beam on elastic foundation in contrast to existing studies where the buckling load is treated as an end load on the beam column, An approximated analytical solution is obtained by the energy method and its validity is confirmed by the linearized finite element buckling analysis. The results show the beam mode buckling because longitudinal strains at the buckling loads are substantially lower than the strain at the onset of local buckling.

도시의 급속한 팽창에 따라 지상시설물들이 도시미관, 안정성, 도시교통문제를 야기하므로 점점 지하에 매설되어가고 있지만 그 종류가 다양하고 복잡한 형태로 매설되어 있어 통합체계를 원활히 유지하고 효과적으로 관리하는 것이 매우 중요한 과제가 되었다. 그렇지만 종합관리를 위한 자료의 결여로 지하공간을 무계획적으로 활용뿐만 아니라 지하굴착 공사 등 안전사고를 유발하여 인명 및 재산피해 초래하는 것은 물론 다양한 정보시대에 국가정보가 일시 중단될 때 많은 경제적 손실을 가져오게 되는 것이 현실이다. 이러한 상황에서 지하시설물에 대한 정확한 탐사가 이루어져야만 이에 따른 양호한 도면을 작성할 수 있으므로 여러 가지 지하시설물 탐사기법과 여러 가지 현장조건에 따른 탐사정확도를 비교, 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 지하매설물 탐사 정확도를 구할 수 있었다.

지하에 묻혀 있는 상·하수도관, 전력시설, 가스관, 통신시설 등의 시설물들은 국민생활에 필수적인 도시기반시설이다. 이러한 시설물들의 위치 정보가 상당히 누락되어 있으며, 시설물들의 종류가 다양하고 좁은 공간에 집중적으로 매설되어 있어 3차원적으로 매우 복잡하게 얽혀있다. 4차 산업혁명과 더불어 지하 매설관의 정확한 위치정보와 속성정보들을 3차원적으로 시각화하여 전달하는 것이 요구되며, 여기에는 정확한 D/B 구축이 선행되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지하매설관의 3차원 시각화를 위한 D/B 구축을 정확하고 경제적이며 현장 적용이 가능한 기법을 소개하고자 한다.
