In this paper, the methodology for the reliability estimation of buried pipeline with longitudinal gouges and dent is presented and the limit state of buried pipeline is formulated by failure assessment diagram(FAD). The reliability of buried pipeline with defects has been estimated by using a theory of failure probability. The failure probability is calculated by using the FORM(first order reliability method) and Monte Carlo simulation. The results out of two procedures have been compared each other. It is found that the FORM and Monte Carlo simulation give similar results for varying boundary conditions and various random variables. Furthermore, it is also recognized that the failure probability increases with increasing of dent depth, gouge depth, gouge length, operating pressure, pipe outside radius and decreasing the wall thickness. And it is found that the analysis by using the failure assessment diagram gives highly conservative results than those by using the theory of failure probability.

The failure pressure for corroded pipeline was measured by burst testing and classified with respect to corrosion sizes and corroded regions - the body, the girth weld and the seam weld of pipe. A series of finite element analyses were performed to obtain a limit load solution for corrosion defects on the basis of burst test. As a result, the criteria for failure assessment of corrosion defect within the body, the girth weld and the seam weld of API 5L X65 gas pipeline were proposed.

This paper presents the effect of boundary condition of failure pressure model for buried pipelines on failure prediction by using a failure probability model. The first order Taylor series expansion of the limit state function is used in order to estimate the probability of failure associated with various corrosion defects for long exposure periods in years. A failure pressure model based on a failure function composed of failure pressure and operation pressure is adopted for the assessment of pipeline failure. The effects of random variables such as defect depth, pipe diameter, defect length, fluid pressure, corrosion rate, material yield stress, material ultimate tensile strength and pipe thickness on the failure probability of the buried pipelines are systematically studied by using a failure probability model for the corrosion pipeline.

Sewer joint-related defect is one of the most common domestic sewer defects along with the lateral pipe problem. However, there are currently no criteria that precisely assess the joint-related sewer defects. Therefore, this study examined the joint-related sewer defects found in domestic circumstances, classified them according to the suggested defect code, and presented the examples of defect pictures. Each defect code was organized as the process of out of pipeline alignment (OPA) which shows the progress in deterioration. Each defect was classified into 5 grades depending on appropriate repair and rehabilitation method. The result of this study is expected to be useful for domestic CCTV inspectors to assess the sewer condition and helpful for managers to make a decision of repair and rehabilitation.

Korea Gas Corporation has operated high pressure gas transmission line of about 600 kilometers and, therefore, a series of repair welding processes are required in order to cope with external defects such as dent, gouge, cracking usually due to mechanical attacks. Most of gas pipelines repair processes are performed after completely venting remaining gas. However, in some case, though it is very unusual, repairs require without venting gas. For instance, this case is that damaged pipeline is remedied with split sleeve by welding. In this paper, in an effort to confirm a safe application of the split sleeve welding, residual stress, strain and temperature distributions are evaluated by computer simulation and experiments. The results obtained are as follows : 1) Computer modelling is supposed to be reasonable because microstructure changes due to welding is simulated coincidently as compare to that of real condition. 2) The maximal temperature on inside surface of pipeline is 50$0^{\circ}C$ for the repair welding process. 3) The amount of residual stress is estimated as the stress corresponding to 0.8% strain. 4) The repair process employed is determined to be technically preferable because of its avoiding cracks and fractures in the course of welding.

관로 내부를 조사하는 일반적인 방법은 CCTV 카메라를 장착한 원격 조정 기계를 사용하는 것이다. 그러나, 이 시스템은 관로의 상태에 따라서 정확한 관측이 어렵다. 기존의 CCTV 기기의 경우에 있어서 카메라가 파이프의 정면만을 향하기 때문에 관측 거리에 따라서 판독 결과가 다른 경우가 발생한다. 관측 정확도에 있어서도 작업자의 기술과 경험에 많은 영향을 받는다. 본 연구를 통하여 영상처리기법과 렌즈의 조합에 의한 새로운 시스템을 제안하였다. 영상취득 체계는 전면 영상과 함께 측면의 영상을 동시에 취득할 수 있도록 개발되었다. 측면에 대한 영상 전개 및 영상 결합을 위하여 적용된 영상처리 기법을 통하여 관로 내면에 대한 고해상도 영상 정보를 도출할 수 있었다.

The failure assessment for corroded pipeline has been considered with the full scale burst test and the finite element analysis. The burst tests were conducted on 762 mm diameter, 17.5 mm wall thickness and API 5L X65 pipe that contained specially manufactured rectangular corrosion defect. The failure pressure for corroded pipeline was measured by burst testing and classified with respect to corrosion sizes and corroded regions - the body, the girth weld and the seam weld of pipe. Finite element analysis was carried out to derive failure criteria of corrosion defect on the pipe. A series of finite element analyses were performed to obtain a limit load solution for corrosion defects on the basis of burst test. As a result, the criteria for failure assessment of corrosion defect within the body, the girth weld and the seam weld of API 5L X65 gas pipeline were proposed.

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipelines in nuclear power plants (NPPs) have to meet high requirements for seismic performance. HDPE pipes have been proved to have good seismic performance, but joints are the weak links in the pipelines, and pipeline failures usually initiate from the defects inside the joints. Limited data are available on the seismic performance of butt-fusion joints of HDPE pipelines in NPPs, especially in terms of defects changes inside the joints after earthquakes. In this paper, full-scale shaking table tests were performed on a test section of suspended HDPE pipelines in an NPP, which included straight pipes, elbows, and 10 butt-fusion joints. During the tests, the seismic load-induced strain of the joints was analyzed by strain gauges, and it was much smaller than the internal pressure and self-weight-induced strain. Before and after the shaking table tests, phased array ultrasonic testing (PA-UT) was conducted to detect defects inside the joints. The locations, numbers, and dimensions of the defects were analyzed. It was found that defects were more likely to occur in elbows joints. No new defect was observed after the shaking table tests, and the defects showed no significant growth, indicating the satisfactory seismic performance of the butt-fusion joints.

배관의 관벽투과 특성을 지닌 원격장 와전류 비파괴 검사법은 열교환기 세관 검사에서부터 천연가스 수송관에 이르기까지 다양한 형태의 배관과 결함을 대상으로 적용 연구가 진행되고 있다. 공칭 외경 100mm의 주철관은 주로 상수도 관로의 배수관으로 활용되고 있는데, 차량 진동과 부식에 의한 결함의 생성으로 정수의 누수 문제를 일으킨다. 그러나, 탐상 경제성 및 효용성 문제로 관내 검사장치 투입과 같은 직접적인 검사 방법의 수행이 제한되어 왔다. 원격장 와전류 방법은 시스템 구성이 용이하고 내 외부 부식 결함에 대한 정량적인 평가가 가능하기 때문에 경제성 있는 장치 개발이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 원격장 와전류 기술을 이용하여 상수도 관망의 특성을 고려한 매설 배관 검사시스템 개발을 수행하였다. 세부적으로는 관내 투입 원격장 와전류 검사의 기구부 설계 및 제작, 원격장 와전류 신호의 획득 및 처리 프로그램 개발, 그리고 개발 장치의 운용 방법 및 절차 검토 등으로 되어 있다.

본 논문에서는 레이저 응용 비파괴검사 기술인 Shearography를 이용하여 압력 배관 내부 결함의 검출에 있어서 미치는 전단량의 영향을 분석하였다. Shearography는 레이저 응용기법에 비하여 환경 외란에 둔감하며, 대상체 표면의 상대 변위를 검출함으로서 비파괴검사 분야에서 많은 활용이 기대된다. 현재까지 연구는 적용 가능성의 평가와 적용 대상의 확대에 중점을 두어 연구가 진행되어 왔으며, 결함의 정량평가를 위해서는 결함 검출에 있어서 영향을 주는 인자들에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 결함의 검출에 영향을 줄 수 있는 전단량의 변화에 따라 결함의 크기 측정과 길함의 위치 결정에 대한 영향을 예측하고, 압력용기 내부의 길이 방향 인공 결함에 대해 적용하여 검출 결과를 분석하였다.
