This paper presents on the structural behavior of the the methyl methacrylate monomer (MMA) double wide flanged the glass fiber-reinforced polymer(GFRP) pipe composite structures for the manhole raise. The evaluation of structural performance on this composite structure was conducted by the axial load, fatigue load, and ultimate load test. The assessment indicates that the MMA double wide flanged GFRP pipe composite structures was confirmed safety, durability and reliability in result as expected. It was found that this composite structure was able to short working times to around 30-50% and construction costs to around 10-23% with compare other construction methods. Also, environmental pollution and civil complaints will be prevented because there will be no longer any noises, vibrations, dust, or construction wastes.

불포화 폴리에스테르 수지를 결합재로 사용하여 제작되는 폴리머 콘크리트 맨홀은 조기 고강도 발현, 접착성. 수밀성, 내동결융해성, 내약품성, 내마모성, 전기절연성이 우수하여 프리캐스트로 제작되는 많은 통신용 맨홀에 적용되고 있다. 폴리머 콘크리트의 결합재로 사용되는 불포화 폴리에스테르 수지는 열경화성수지로써, 자체 발열에 의해 거푸집을 탈형할 정도의 초기 경화 반응이 나타나지만, 구조물로서 요구되는 소요 강도를 발휘하기 위해서는 적정 온도에 의한 추가 양생이 반드시 필요하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 폴리머 콘크리트의 휨 강도 시험용 공시체를 사용하여, 다양한 양생 온도 조건 및 양생기간에 따른 휨 강도를 측정하였으며, 이를 가열 촉진 양생에 의한 휨 강도와 비교하여 콘크리트가 소요 강도를 발휘하는데 요구되는 적정 온도와 기간을 도출하였다. 이를 통해 폴리머 큰크리트 맨홀의 품질 확보를 위한 생산 관리와 제품 검사를 체계적이고 효율적으로 수행할 수 있도록 하였다.

The increased use of underground power distribution as opposed to overhead lines contributes to the aesthetics of the downtown areas. But there is an inherent risk of accidental electrocution should there be damage to the insulation of the cable because of heavy rain. Should a pedestrian make contact with this cable indirectly, via a man hole cover, electrocution could result. In this paper, we analyse weaknesses in this low-voltage manhole and propose improvements.

The analysis of circular plates under the constant pressure are simplified as the loading conditions of the circular manhole. The theoretical solution of circular plates with respect to the constant pressures are derived by using the governing equation of plate deflection. The deflection and the radial stress distributions were calculated by the theory. Finite element solutions were conducted with respect to the element types of the continuum elements. The most accurate element was selected by comparisons of the theoretical solutions and simulated solutions. The C3D8I element type in brick-type continuum elements gave in a good accordance with the theoretical solutions.

The air vent connected to a heat supply pipeline in the district heating system has been used to eliminate the existing air in the pipe, which has a detrimental effect on corrosion durability and heat efficiency. Recently, the air vent installed under a manhole for 22 years was corroded and several pinholes were detected in the front-end of the air vent. To identify the cause of the failure, thickness reduction, corrosion products, and water quality were examined. The corrosion damage was significant at the outside of the front-end of the air vent where the insulator was covered. While a thin oxide layer was formed in the interior of the tube, the coarse and porous corrosion products consisting of magnetite and hematite were found externally. Water flowing into the thermal insulator was absorbed by the insulator following hydrolysis. The hydrolyzed insulator ejected the corrosion factors such as Cl^-, SO₄^2-, and NH₄⁺. The findings suggest that the corrosion under insulation due to rain water is the main cause of the underlying failure in the air vent.

The XP-SWMM model, widely used for inundation analysis of urban watersheds, underestimated the inundation area (range) because the manhole was regarded as a node and the influence of the local loss occurring in the surcharged manhole can not be considered. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the applicability of the head loss coefficients considering the local loss in the surcharged manholes in inundation analysis using XP-SWMM. The Dorim 1 drainage section of the Dorim-river watershed, where frequent domestic flood damage occurred, was selected as the study watershed. The head loss coefficients of the surcharged manholes estimated from the previous experimental studies were applied to the inundation analysis, and the changes of the inundation area with and without the application of the head loss coefficients with manhole types were compared and analyzed. As a result of inundation simulation with the application of head loss coefficients, the matching rates were increased by 17% in comparison with the without application of them. In addition, the simulated inundation area applied only the head loss coefficients of straight path manholes and applied up to the head loss coefficients of combining manholes ($90^{\circ}$ bend, 3-way, and 4-way) were similar. Therefore, in order to accurately simulate the storm drain system in urban areas, it could be to carry out two-dimensional inundation analysis considering the head loss coefficients at the surcharged manholes. It was expected that the study results will be utilized as basic data for establishing the identification of the inundation risk area.

Some infrastructure these days is usually constructed under the ground for it to not interfere the foot-traffic of pedestrians, and thus, it is difficult to visually confirm the accurate location of the site where the establishments must be buried. These technical difficulties increase the magnitude of the problems that could arise from over-reliance on the experience of the worker or a mere blueprint. Such problems include exposure to flood and collapse. This paper proposes a constructor-oriented visualization system via mobile gadgets in general construction sites with occluded structures. This proposal is consisted with three stages. First, "Stage of detecting manhole and extracting features" detects and extracts the basis point of occluded structures which is unoccluded manhole. Next, "Stage of tracking features" tracks down the extracted features in the previous stage. Lastly, "Stage of visualizing occluded constructions" analyzes and synthesizes the GPS data and 3D objects obtained from mobile gadgets in the previous stages. This proposal implemented ideal method through parallel analysis of manhole detection, feature extraction, and tracking techniques in indoor environment, and confirmed the possibility through occluded water-pipe augmentation in real environment. Also, it offers a practical constructor-oriented environment derived from the augmented 3D results of occluded water-pipings.

최근 도심지는 급격한 인구집중과 교통량의 증가로 인하여 맨홀사고 발생이 빈번히 발생하고 있다. 그러나 현재 우리가 사용하고 있는 맨홀들은 신도시를 제외한 대부분의 도심지에서 시설용량 부족 및 침하, 균열, 단차 등 노후화로 인하여 유지관리에 상당한 어려움을 겪고 있으며 경제적 여건과 사회적 인식의 부족으로 관리의 어려움이 있는 실정이다. 그래서 가능한 범위에서 할 수 있는 최선의 방법으로 맨홀시설의 기준을 보다 효과적으로 수립하여 내구수명 연장을 통한 도시화, 인구집중화에 대응할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 현재의 우리나라 맨홀의 설치기준과 외국의 설치기준을 비교하여 상이한 점을 찾아보고 그에 따른 효율적인 기준이 무엇인지 연구한다. 또한 도심지 맨홀의 조사를 실시한 자료를 바탕으로 상관성분석을 통하여 기존 하수도 시설기준을 보다 체계적이고 세부적으로 보완하고자 한다. 본 연구의 성과는 맨홀의 유지관리상 문제점을 파악하고 보다 안전하고 효율적인 맨홀 설치의 기준을 제시하고자 한다.

Energy loss at manholes, often exceeding friction loss of pipes under surcharged flow, is considered as one of the major causes of inundation in urban area. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze head losses at manholes, especially in case of surcharged flow. Hydraulic experimental apparatus which can change the manhole shape (square, circular) were installed for this study. In the experiments, two inflows ($Q_1,\;Q_2$) were varied from 0 to $4{\ell}$/sec and 15 combinations were tested in total. The flow ratios $Q_2/Q_3$ were varied from 0 to 1 for a total flow $Q_3$ ($Q_3=Q_1+Q_3$) of 2, 3, and $4{\ell}$/sec, respectively. The variation of head losses were strongly influenced by the lateral inflow because the head loss coefficient increases as the flow ratio $Q_2/Q_3$ increases. There was no significant difference of head loss between square manhole and circular one, and also no large variation of head loss as discharges change. The relation equations between K and $Q_2/Q_3$ were suggested in this paper.
