폴리에틸렌(Polyethylene; PE) 배관은 시공이 편리하고 강관에 비해 가격이 저렴하기 때문에 저압 공급용으로 많이 사용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 유한요소 해석을 이용하여 매설한 PE배관이 다양한 외부하중을 받는 경우에 발생하는 응력 및 변형에 대하여 알아보았다. 배관 직경이 $50{\sim}400mm$인 PE배관에 대하여 매설 깊이를 $0.6{\sim}1.2m$로 달리하고 그리고 공급압력을 $0.4{\sim}4bar$로 변화시켰을 때 배관에 발생하는 응력을 유한 요소를 이용하여 계산하였다. 결과적으로 매설 상태에서 각 하중 조건에 따른 응력 상태 그리고 복합적인 하중이 작용할 경우에 400호 배관에 발생하는 음력을 계산한 결과 매설 깊이가 1m일 때 최대 원주방향응력이 가장 작은 값을 나타내었다.

하수관거 시설은 현장 시공시 다짐 불량 및 뒤채움재의 품질관리 미흡으로 인해 하수관거의 이격 및 부등침하가 발생되고, 이음부나 관의 손상이 심화되는 경우 누수가 발생된다. 노후화로 인해 유지 및 보수, 신설 비용은 매년 증가하고, 누수로 인한 인접 매립시설물 및 지하수로의 유입으로 인해 오염사례가 보고된 바 있으며, 최근에는 싱크홀의 문제를 야기하여 사회적 관심이 증대되었다. 따라서 많은 연구자들에 의해 하수관거의 기초에 대한 채움재관련 연구가 오랫동안 연구되어 왔으며, 신재생재료에 대한 관심 수요가 증가하여 재생재료를 활용한 연구들도 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 하수관거를 지지하는 기초의 안전성과 경제성을 동시에 지닌 재활용재료를 활용한 조립식 하수관거 기초에 대해 연구를 진행하였으며, 사후처방방식이 아닌, 시공단계에서 사전예방하기 위해 관경 600mm, 700mm, 800mm의 대형 하수관거를 선정하여 적절한 설계 하중을 산출하고 매립 심도별 안전성에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구결과는 신형식 하수관거 기초의 유사연구에 널리 활용 될 수 있을 것이다.

Biological corrosion, a crucial aspect of metal degradation, has received limited attention despite its significance. It involves the deterioration of metals due to corrosion processes influenced by living organisms, including bacteria. Soil represents a substantial threat to pipeline corrosion as it contains chemical and microbial factors that cause severe damage to water, oil, and gas transmission projects. To combat fouling and corrosion, corrosion inhibitors are commonly used; however, their production often involves expensive and hazardous chemicals. Consequently, researchers are exploring natural and eco-friendly alternatives, specifically nano-sized products, as potent corrosion inhibitors. This study aims to environmentally synthesize silver nanoparticles using an extract from Lagoecia cuminoides L and evaluate their effectiveness in preventing biological corrosion of buried pipes in soil. The optimal experimental conditions were determined as follows: a volume of 4 ml for the extract, a volume of 4 ml for silver nitrate (AgNO3), pH 9, a duration of 60 minutes, and a temperature of 60 degrees Celsius. Analysis using transmission electron microscopy confirmed the formation of nanoparticles with an average size of approximately 28 nm, while X-ray diffraction patterns exhibited suitable peak intensities. By employing the Scherer equation, the average particle size was estimated to be around 30 nm. Furthermore, antibacterial studies revealed the potent antibacterial activity of the synthesized silver nanoparticles against both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. This property effectively mitigates the biological corrosion caused by bacteria in steel pipes buried in soil.

In this paper, a review of the current status, on the use of long range cylindrically guided wave modes, and their interaction with cracks and corrosion damage in pipe-like structures will be discussed. Applications of cylindrically guided ultrasonic wave modes have been developed for inspection of corrosion damage in pipelines at chemical plants, flow-accelerated corrosion damage (wall thinning) in feedwater piping, and circumferential stress corrosion cracks in PWR steam generator tubes. It has been demonstrated that this inspection technique can be employed on a variety of piping geometries (diameters from 1 in. to 3 ft, and wall thickness from 0.1 to 6 in.) and a propagation distance of 100 meters or more is sometimes feasible. This technique can also be used in the inspection of inaccessible or buried regions of pipes and tubes.

The ASCE formula of pipeline' soil interaction force is the basis of semi-analytical relationship for buried pipelines subjected to longitudinal permanent ground deformation due to seismic induced liquefaction. However, since the ASCE formula has been developed based on the stiffness of non-liquefied region, it is needed to modify for the varied stiffness of liquefied region. With this object, the consideration of decreasing effect of soil stiffness in liquefied region is made: i.e. the spatial distributions of pipeline. soil interaction force in liquefied region. It means that the improved formula can reflect various patterns of permanent ground deformation more realistically. Through the comparative analyses using both the improved and ASCE formula, the applicability of the improved, the limitation of the existing formula and semi-analytical relationship are discussed.

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.

This study aims to find out the best anode location for buried pipelines. Numerical simulation program known as CATPRO (Elsyca, Belgium) were used for confirming the best location of anodes and the effects of impressed current cathodic protection system. Applied conditions for numerical simulation were similar to on-site environmental conditions for optimal application of cathodic protection system. Used criterion of cathodic protection was NACE SP 0169, which describes that minimum requirement for cathodic protection is -850mV vs. CSE. Various layouts for anodes' installation were applied, which were distance between anodes, anode installation location, and applied current. The areas where cathodic protection potential was lower than -850mV vs. CSE was limited up to 50m from anode installation locations. It was founded numerical analysis obtain cost-effective and efficient cathodic protection methods before design and application the impressed cathodic protection system to on-site environment.

For the corrosion protect ion of the natural gas transmission pipelines, two methods are used, cathodic protection and coating technique. In the case of cathodic protection, defects are embrittled by occurring hydrogen at the crack tip or material surface. It is however very important to evaluate whether cracks in the embrittled area can grow or not, especially in weld metal. In this work, on the basis of elastic plastic fracture mechanics, we performed CTOD test ing with varying test conditions, such as the potential and current density. The CTOD of the base steel and weld metal showed a strong dependence of the test conditions. The CTOD decreased with increasing cathodic potential and current density. The morphology of the fracture surface showed quasi-cleavage. Hydrogen introduced fractures, caused by cathodic overprotection.

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.
