Recently, because of development of the high speed train technology, the vibration loads by train is significantly increased ever than before. This buried gas pipelines are exposed to both repeated impact loads, and, moreover, they have been influencing by vibration loads than pipeline which is not located under vehicle loads. The vibration characteristic of pipeline is examined by dynamic analysis, and variable is only train speed. Since an effect of magnitude of vibration loads is more critical than cover depth, as increasing the train speed, the vibration speed of buried pipelines is also increased. The slope of vibration velocity is changed by attenuation of wave, at train speed, 300 km/h. From the analysis results, the vibration velocity of pipelines is satisfied with the vibration velocity criteria which are established by Korea Gas Corporation. The results present operation condition of pipelines under rail loads has fully sound integrity based on KOGAS specification.

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.

This study was initiated to examine the stress and deformation characteristics of the pipelines which were subjected to various environmental conditions in order to confirm their integrity. As the part of them, this paper presents the analysis results for the effect of ground subsidence combined with main loads on buried natural gas pipelines. The ground subsidence which can occur for buried gas pipeline has been classified to the three cases. Finite element method was used to analyze the effect of ground subsidences on pipeline of 26 inch(0.660 m) and 30 inch(0.762 m) diameter used as high pressure ($70 kg_f/cm^2(6.86 MPa)$) main pipelines of KOGAS. This paper shows the result of stress analysis for the pipelines subjected to those three case ground subsidence. Comparing these results with safety criterion of KOGAS(0.9 $\sigma_y$), maximum allowable settlement and loads have been calculated.

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.

최근 열차의 고속화로 인하여 열차주행에 따른 진동은 중, 저속의 경우에 비하여 상당히 커졌으며, 이에 따라 지중매설배관은 끊임없는 충격하중과 반복하중에 노출되어 있어 여타 지역에 매설된 관로보다 진동하중에 많은 영향을 받고 있다. 그러나 기존의 설계나 해석과정에 충격계수를 이용하거나, 정하중을 받는 매설배관의 정해를 이용하는 방법으로는 이러한 진동의 영향이 충분히 반영되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 동해석을 통한 배관의 위험단면에 대한 설계하중에서의 안정성 분석에 주안점을 두고, 각 배관의 매설 조건과 열차의 주행 조건에 따른 배관의 거동 특성을 분석하였다.

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.

Because of the continuous growth of energy consumption and also the tendency to site power lines and pipelines along the same route, the close proximity of power lines and buried metallic pipelines has become more and more frequent. Therefore there has been and still is a slowing concern about possible hazards resulting from the influence of power lines on metallic pipelines. Underground pipelines that run parallel to or in close proximity to power lines are subjected to induced voltages caused by the time-varying magnetic fields produced by the power line currents. The induced electro- motive force cause currents circulation in the pipeline and voltages between the pipeline and surrounding earth. This paper analyzes the induced voltage on the gas pipelines buried in parallel with 22.9kV distribution lines. Their magnitude depends on the length of parallelism and on the distance between distribution lines and pipeline.

하천통과 배관은 부력과 외부 충격을 방지하기 위하여 1.2~4m의 매설 깊이로 설치되어 운영된다. 하천통과 배관은 수압과 토하중에 의한 외압으로부터 소성붕괴에 대한 저항성을 가져야한다. 하천통과 배관에 수압과 토하중으로 발생하는 원주응력을 유한요소해석으로 파악하여 배관의 건전성에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 콘크리트 보호공이 없는 경우 동일 수심에서는 매설 깊이 증가에 따라 원주응력은 증가하나, 동일 매설 깊이에서는 수심이 증가함에 따라 배관에서 발생하는 원주응력은 감소하고 있었다.

2017년 한국가스안전공사 가스안전연구원의 자체 조사에 따르면, 국내 고압가스배관 중 매설된 배관의 길이는 대략 770km이며, 그 중 84%가 울산과 여수산업단지에 몰려 있다. 특히 20년 이상의 장기 운영 배관이 56%에 달하며, 이는 매설된 고압가스배관의 관리가 시급하다는 것을 시사하고 있다. 매설된 가스배관의 주요 사고 원인으로 미국 PHMSA, 유럽의 EGIG 등에서는 타공사와 외면부식을 지적하고 있으며, 배관 벽두께의 손실에 의한 누출 및 파열 등의 사고로 보고된다. 따라서 배관에 결함이 발생하였을 때, 그 결함이 배관의 잔존수명에 영향을 미치는 바를 평가하는 것이 중요하다. DNV나 ASME 등에서는 배관에 인위결함을 만든 후 수압 파열 실험을 통하여 배관의 잔존강도를 평가했다. 배관의 잔존강도를 운전압력과 연관시키면, 배관이 파열되는 시점의 벽 두께가 계산되며 해당 배관의 부식 성장률만 정확히 알 수 있다면, 배관의 잔존수명을 예측할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 결함깊이가 벽두께의 80% 이하에서 적용된 수식을 개선하기 위하여 국내 매설배관의 80%를 차지하는 A53 Grade.B와 A106 Grade.B 배관에 대하여 결함 깊이가 80~90%의 범위에서 실험하였고, 결함과 잔존강도 관계를 표현한 수식을 만들었다.

A new layered shear continuum model box was developed to address the dynamic response issues of buried oil and gas pipelines under multi-point excitation. Vibration table tests were conducted to investigate the seismic response of buried pipelines and the surrounding soil under longitudinal multi-point excitation. A nonlinear model of the pipeline-soil interaction was established using ABAQUS finite element software for simulation and analysis. The seismic response characteristics of the pipeline and soil under longitudinal multi-point excitation were clarified through vibration table tests and simulation. The results showed good consistency between the simulation and tests. The acceleration of the soil and pipeline exhibited amplification effects at loading levels of 0.1 g and 0.2 g, which significantly reduced at loading levels of 0.4 g and 0.62 g. The peak acceleration increased with increasing loading levels, and the peak frequency was in the low-frequency range of 0 Hz to 10 Hz. The amplitude in the frequency range of 10 Hz to 50 Hz showed a significant decreasing trend. The displacement peak curve of the soil increased with the loading level, and the nonlinearity of the soil resulted in a slower growth rate of displacement. The strain curve of the pipeline exhibited a parabolic shape, with the strain in the middle of the pipeline about 3 to 3.5 times larger than that on both sides. This study provides an effective theoretical basis and test basis for improving the seismic resistance of buried oil and gas pipelines.
