High-Pressure gas Pipeline which is buried in underground has the Possibility that will be exposed to unexpected dangerous impact of construction equipment. To protect from this kind of danger, the real-time health monitoring system of the high-pressure gas pipeline is necessary. First of all, to make the real-time health monitoring system clearly, the acoustic wave propagation characteristics which are made from various construction equipment impacts must be identified. In link of technical development that prevents the damage of high-pressure gas pipeline, this paper gives FEM(finite element method) and BEM(boundary element method) solutions to identify the acoustic wave propagation characteristic of the various impact input signals which consist of Direc delta function and convolution signal of 45 Hz square signal and random signal.

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, Boding ICCP 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 are described.

The demand of the power and gas energy have been rapidly increasing with the industralization, therefore, the area where buried pipelines run parallel with the adjacent power lines and cross them increases in Seoul as well as other cities. These situation cause AC interference from the power lines. However, there aren't any standards to preserve the pipelines from AC interference in Korea. This study introduces the separation distance to protection of buried pipeline from arc strikes caused by power line ground fault current. And this study examines and compares the arc distance through case study.

Subsea pipelines are one of the most important structures used to transport fluids such as oil and natural gas in offshore environments. The uplift behavior of the pipeline caused by earthquakes and buoyancy can result in a pipeline failure. The objective of this study is to examine the peak uplift resistance through parametric studies with numerical modeling by PLAXIS 3D Tunnel. The effects of the embedment ratio and pipe diameter were first examined for uplift resistance in sand and soft clay conditions. Then the length of geogrid layers and the number of geogrid layers were examined in terms of ability to resist uplift behavior.

본 연구는 매설 조건이 불건전한 건설 현장에 매설된 삼중관이 항타 진동에 노출되었을 경우에 발생하는 배관의 거동을 매설 심도에 따라 분석하였다. 매설 배관으로부터 20m의 이격 거리를 갖는 항타 에너지는 7tonf의 램이 1.2m에서 낙하하였을 경우로 선정하였고, 매설 심도는 0.6, 1.4, 2.2, 3.0, 3.8m로 변화하여 연구를 진행하였다. 관의 길이방향 중심에서의 진동 속도와 응력을 확인 하였고, 감쇠비를 고려하여 삼중관의 거동을 분석하였다. 이격거리가 동일한 경우의 진동 속도에 대한 감쇠율은 매설 심도가 증가함에 따라 증가하는 추세를 보이고 있다. 또한, 내관에서 응력 감쇠율도 매설 심도가 증가함에 따라 증가하는 추세를 보이고 있다.

For fitness-for-service analyses of underground natural gas pipelines, engineering assessment methods against possible defects need to be developed. The assessment methods for high pressure pipeline of KOGAS, was developed using the full size pipe burst tests and the finite element analysis. It included the defect assessment methods for a single and multi-corrosion, corrosion in girth welding part, corrosion in seam welding part, the mechanical damage defects as dent and gouge, crack and large plastic deformation of API 5L X65 pipe. In addition, we developed method to assess pipeline integrity by internal and external load to buried pipeline. Evaluation results were compared with other methods currently being applied to the gas pipeline. The program of Windows environment is made for easily using assessment methods. It provides a consistent user interface, so non-professional technician can easily and friendly use the FFS program from company intranet. Several evaluation programs is easily installed using one installer. Each program constitutes a common input interface and the output configuration program, and evaluation result store and can be recalled at any time. The FFS program based on independent evaluation method is used to evaluate the integrity and safety of KOGAS pipeline, and greatly contribute to safe and efficient operation of pipeline. This paper presents experimental, analytical and numerical investigations to develop the FFS methods for KOGAS pipeline, used as high pressure natural gas transmission pipeline within KOREA. Also, it includes the description of the integrated program for FFS methods.

This paper presents the effects of corrosion environments of failure pressure model for buried pipelines on failure prediction by using a failure probability. The FORM (first order reliability method) is used in order to estimate the failure probability in the buried pipelines with corrosion defects. The effects of varying distribution types of random variables such as normal, lognormal and Weibull distributions on the failure probability of buried pipelines are systematically investigated. It is found that the failure probability for the MB31G model is larger than that for the B31G model. And the failure probability is estimated as the largest for the Weibull distribution and the smallest for the normal distribution. The effect of data scattering in corrosion environments on failure probability is also investigated and it is recognized that the scattering of wall thickness and yield strength of pipeline affects the failure probability significantly. The normalized margin is defined and estimated. Furthermore, the normalized margin is used to predict the failure probability using the fitting lines between failure probability and normalized margin.

매설배관은 내부 또는 외부의 결함으로 인하여 leak나 rupture가 발생 할 수 있으며, 가스가 누출 시 큰 사고가 발생할 수 있기 때문에 정량적 위험성평가를 통한 분석이 필요하다. 하지만 현재 매설배관에 대한 위험성 평가시 매설을 고려하지 않거나, 매설 깊이를 고려하지 않고 무조건 배관압력의 1/10으로 가정하는 OGP기준을 사용하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 여러 기관의 매설배관 ETA분석자료를 통하여 발생가능 사고 중 Jet fire의 사고피해영향을 분석하였으며, Jet fire의 복사열 계산에 있어서 배관의 매설깊이 인자를 고려한 매설모델을 수립하였다. 사례연구는 New Jersey의 Edison지역에서 발생한 사고를 이용하여 본 모델과 OGP모델을 비교 분석하였다. 연구결과 화염원으로부터 10m거리를 기준으로 매설모델의 복사열 값이 OGP모델에 비해 실제 사례와 비슷한 값을 얻을 수 있었다.

천연가스 공급용 고압 지하 매설배관에 교류가 유도될 때 쿠폰과 전기저항형 박막센서를 이용하여 교류에 의한 부식속도를 평가하고 주요한 인자를 규명하고자 하였다. 전국에 걸쳐 조사된 교류전압 측정결과를 바탕으로 쿠폰과 전기저항형 박막센서를 설치하고, 주요인자를 고찰하기 위하여 다양한 인자들 (교류전압, 교류전류, 토양 비저항, 주파수, 방식전위)을 정기적으로 기록하였다. 황산동 전극기준 -850mV의 방식전위를 충분히 만족하는 상황에서도 교류에 의한 부식이 진행하였으며, 교류에 의한 부식속도는 교류전압과는 관계없이 교류전류밀도와 주파수에 의존하는 것으로 나타났다. 교류에 의한 부식속도는 유효교류전류밀도에 따라 직선적으로 증가하였으며, 쿠폰에 의한 평가결과 직선의 기울기는 0.619, 전기저항형 센서에 의한 직선의 기울기는 0.885로 나타났다.
