Monitoring of corrosion is in most cases based on simulation of environmental conditions on a large and complex structure such as a buried pipeline using a small probe, and the measurement of thermodynamics and kinetics of corrosion processes occurring on the probe surface. This paper presents a hybrid corrosion monitoring probe designed for simulating deteriorating conditions wrought by disbonded coatings and for measuring current densities and distribution of such densities on a simulated pipeline surface. The concept of the probe was experimentally evaluated using immersion tests under cathodic protection (CP) in high resistivity aqueous solution. Underneath the disbonded area, anodic currents and cathodic currents were carefully measured. Anodic current densities were used to calculate metal loss according to Faraday's law. Calculated corrosion patterns were compared with corrosion damage observed at the surface of the probe after a series of stringent tests. The capability of the probe to measure anodic current densities under CP, without requiring interruption, was demonstrated in high resistivity aqueous solution. The pattern of calculated metal loss correlated well with corrosion products distribution observed at the array surface. Working principles of the probe are explained in terms of electrochemistry.

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) system 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.

음극방식 시스템의 방식전류에 의한 압입구간내의 압입관과 배관의 부식거동에 관한 수학적 모델링을 경계요소법을 이용하여 수행하였다. 모델은 비선형 경계조건(Tafel 방정식)을 가진 라플라스 방정식으로 이루어져 있으며 압입관의 혼합전위를 구하기 위하여 혼합전위 이론을 응용한 반복법을 사용하였으며 그 위에 비선형 경계조건에 대한 해석을 위하여 이중 반복법을 사용하였다. 모델은 정상적인 압입구간 뿐만 아니라 압입관과 배관과의 금속간 접촉(metal touch)이나 외부환경과 압입구간 내부를 격리시키는 절연부위의 손상과 같은 결함들을 가진 비정상적인 압입구간에서의 각각의 경우에 대해서도 적용되었다. 수학적 모델링의 결과로부터 압입구간내의 전위분포나 전류분포를 계산할 수 있었다. 모델링의 타당성을 증명하기 위하여 모사실험을 수행하였으며 실험조건내에서 이론적인 결과와 실험결과는 정상적으로 잘 일치하였다.

Owing to time and cost constraints, new methods that would make it possible to evaluate the safety of the water supply pipeline in a less time- and cost-consuming manner are urgently needed. In response to this exigency, the present study developed a new statistical model to assess the safety of the water supply pipeline using the quantification theory type II. In this research, the safety of the water supply pipeline was defined as 'a possibility of the pipeline failure'. Quantification analysis was conducted on the qualitative data, such as pipe material, coating, and buried condition. The results of analyses demonstrate that the hit ratio of the quantification function amounted to 77.8% of hit ratio, which was a fair value. In addition, all variables that were included in the quantification function were logically valid and demonstrated statistically significant. According to the results derived from the application of the safety evaluation model, the coefficient of determination ($R^2$) between K-region's water supply pipeline safety and the safety inspection amounted to 0.80. Therefore, these findings provide meaningful insight for the measured values in real applications of the model. The results of the present study can also be meaningfully used in further research on safety evaluation of pipelines, establishing of renewal prioritization, as well as asset management planning of the water supply infrastructure.

지진재해로 인한 라이프라인의 피해는 구조물의 손상뿐만 아니라, 통신장애, 전력 가스 수자원 등 다양한 생활에너지의 공급에 장애를 발생시킨다. 이러한 지진재해에 효율적으로 대응하기 위해 미국과 일본에서는 HAZUS 및 HERAS와 같은 지진재해평가 시스템을 구축하여 활용하고 있다. 국내에서도 이러한 시스템 구축을 위해 노력하고 있으나, 근본적으로 구조물의 지진 해석을 통한 평가자료가 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 다양한 구조물 중 국내에 시공된 수많은 매설관을 조사하여 관 재질 특성에 따라 연성관과 취성관으로 분류하고 이에 대한 동적 거동을 분석하였다. 다양한 지진하중 하에서 국내 및 미국의 시공기준에 따라 매설관의 동적 거동을 비교 평가하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 미국 HAZUS 프로그램의 알고리즘에 따른 국내의 매설관 손상평가의 적정성을 조사하였다.

Seismic fragility curves play a crucial role in assessing potential seismic losses and predicting structural damage caused by earthquakes. This study compares non-sampling-based methods of seismic fragility curve derivation, particularly the probabilistic seismic demand model (PSDM) and finite element reliability analysis (FERA), both of which require employing sophisticated finite element analysis to evaluate and predict structural damage caused by earthquakes. In this study, a three-dimensional finite element model of API 5L X65, a buried gas pipeline widely used in Korea, is constructed to derive seismic fragility curves. Its seismic vulnerability is assessed using nonlinear time-history analysis. PSDM and a FERA are employed to derive seismic fragility curves for comparison purposes, and the results are verified through a comparison with those from the Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS). It is observed that the fragility curves obtained from PSDM are relatively conservative, which is attributed to the assumption introduced to consider the uncertainty factors. In addition, this study provides a comprehensive comparison of seismic fragility curve derivation methods based on sophisticated finite element analysis, which may contribute to developing more accurate and efficient seismic fragility analysis.

Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) occurring in underground buried pipes of API 5L X65 steel was investigated. MIC is a corrosion phenomenon caused by microorganisms in soil; it affects steel materials in wet atmosphere. The microstructure and mechanical properties resulting from MIC were analyzed by OM, SEM/EDS, and mapping. Corrosion of pipe cross section was composed of ① surface film, ② iron oxide, and ③ surface/internal microbial corrosive by-product similar to surface corrosion pattern. The surface film is an area where concentrations of C/O components are on average 65 %/16 %; the main components of Fe Oxide were measured and found to be 48Fe-42O. The MIC area is divided into surface and inner areas, where high concentrations of N of 6 %/5 % are detected, respectively, in addition to the C/O component. The high concentration of C/O components observed on pipe surfaces and cross sections is considered to be MIC due to the various bacteria present. It is assumed that this is related to the heat-shrinkable sheet, which is a corrosion-resistant coating layer that becomes the MIC by-product component. The MIC generated on the pipe surface and cross section is inferred to have a high concentration of N components. High concentrations of N components occur frequently on surface and inner regions; these regions were investigated and Na/Mg/Ca basic substances were found to have accumulated as well. Therefore, it is presumed that the corrosion of buried pipes is due to the MIC of the NRB (nitrate reducing bacteria) reaction in the soil.
