모형 말뚝에 축 하중 계측장치를 부착하고 재하 실험을 하여,개단 말뚝의 선단부 폐색원인을 분석하고 폐색효과에 대한 기존의 정량적 예측방법들을 비교 검토한 결과,관내토 폐색력은 영병의 아칭 이론과 승견의 경험식 등에 의한 예측치와 비교적 잘 일치하였다. 그리고,본 논문에서는 Coulomb 의 수동상태를 가정한 새로운 관내토의 폐색효과 산정식을 제안하였는데, 이 Coulomb 이론을 이용한 폐색력 산정방법은 폐색력을 정확하게 예측할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 사용이 간편하다는 장점이 있다.

To investigate the group plugging effect the fluid-elastic instability analysis has been performed on various column and row number of the KSNP steam generator lutes. This study compares the stability ratio of the plugged tube with that of the intact one. The information on the thermal-hydraulic data of the steam generator have been obtained by using the ATHOS3-MOD1 code with and without the thermal energy transfer at the plugged region. Both of the boundary conditions of hot-leg temperature and feedwater mass flow rate are fixed for this investigation. From the results of this study the stability ratios inside the group plugging zone are decreased slightly. At the outside of group plugging zone, however, most of the stability ratios tend to be increased.

In special industrial fields such 3s nuclear power plants and chemical plants, it is often necessary to repair system components without plant shutdown or drainage of system having many piping structures which may have hazardous or expensive fluid. A temporary ice plugging method for blocking internal flow is considered as a useful method in that case. According to the pipe freezing guideline of the nuclear power plant, the length of a freezing jacket must be longer than twice of the pipe diameter. However, for applying the ice plugging to short pipes which do not have enough freezing length because of geometrical configuration, it is inevitable to use shorter jacket less than twice of the pipe diameter. In this study, the integrity evaluation for short pipes in the nuclear power plant Is conducted by an experiment and the finite element analysis. From the results, the ice plugging process in short pipes can be safely carried out without any plastic deformation and fracture.

Securing the integrity of steam generator tubes is an essential requirement for safe operation of nuclear power plants. Therefore, tubes that do not satisfy integrity requirements are no longer usable and must be repaired according to the related requirements. In general, the repair criterion is that the damage depth is more than 40% of the tube wall thickness. However, the plugging limit can be changed and be applied, provided a technical proof is given that integrity can be secured against specific degradation at a specific plants and that approval can be obtained from a regulatory agency. A typical example is alternative repair criteria for defects within the tube sheet or tube support plates. In this paper, a background of establishing the plugging limit for steam generator tubes and changes in maintenance criteria are reviewed as examples.

본 연구에서는 항타시공성(BPM, blow per meter)을 고려하여 대구경 항타강관말뚝을 시공하였을 때 발생하는 폐색효과를 분석하였다. Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian(CEL)해석 시 적용된 항타에너지는 파동방정식을 이용하여 산정하였고, CEL 대변형 3차원 유한요소 해석을 수행하여 말뚝 항타시공 과정을 모사하였다. 본 연구 결과, 말뚝 직경이 증가함에 따라 목표 깊이까지 소요되는 항타에너지는 증가(일정한 BPM인 경우에 해당함) 하였으며, 그 결과 soil plugging index(SPI)는 서로 유사하게 나타나지만 폐색효과는 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 말뚝의 근입 깊이가 증가할수록 SPI는 서로 유사한 값을 나타냈으나 관내토에서 발생하는 수평토압이 증가하게 되어 폐색효과는 오히려 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과, 폐색효과의 대표적 영향인자인 말뚝 직경, 말뚝 근입 깊이, 지반 탄성계수, BPM에 따른 관내토의 수평토압계수 분포 경향을 제안하였다.

개단말뚝은 폐색정도에 따라 지지력이 다르게 나타나므로 개단말뚝 설계시 폐색효과를 고려하여야 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 대변형 수치해석 기법 중 하나인 Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian(CEL) 기법을 이용하여 말뚝의 항타 관입을 모사하여 사질토, 점성토 지반조건, 단일 지반의 탄성계수, 말뚝 선단지지 조건, 다층지반 조건에 대한 영향 분석을 수행하였다. 해석 결과 사질토 지반에서 점성토 지반보다 폐색정도가 큰 것으로 확인되었고, 사질토의 경우 지반의 강성이 클수록 폐색정도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 말뚝 선단이 지지층에 근입된 경우, 그렇지 않은 경우보다 정지토압계수가 크게 나타나 폐색정도가 큰 것으로 확인되었다. 또한, 지반의 배열이 이질층인 경우 지반강성에 따라 정지토압계수가 다르게 결정됨을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 지반조건, 지층 등에 따라 정지토압계수를 다르게 적용하여 관내 내부마찰력을 산정할 필요가 있으며 이를 반영한 합리적인 지지력 산정을 할 필요가 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Leksell 감마나이프(B-형)가 1992년 3월 경희대학교 의과대학 병원에 설치되었다. 선택적 빔 Plugging방법을 이용하여 정상 민감 조직에 대한 저선량 분포를 현저히 줄일 수 있으며, 또한 치료 부위에 더 좋은 선량 분포를 얻을 수 있다. 저선량에 대한 여러가지 선량 분포의 변화에 대한 연구를 하였으며, 사용중인 KULA프로그램의 선량 분포 곡선을 평가하기 위해 필름을 이용한 방사선량 계측을 실시하였고, RFA-3자동 밀도 측정기를 이용하여 평가하였다. 1992년 3월부터 1993년 2월까지 1년동안 100명의 환자중 17명의 환자에 선택적 빔 차폐 방법이 적용되었다. 고선량 영역에서는 측정값과 프로그램에서 제공된 선량 분포가 잘 일치하였다. 뇌하수체 선종의 치료시 치료 부위가 클 경우에는 본 연구 방법의 적용이 매우 중요시 되었으며, 반면에 치료 영역이 작을 경우에는 적절한 헬맷의 선택이 중요함을 알 수 있었다. 치료 환자의 중요 민감 장기의 방사선 선량 평가에서는 뇌간에 3~12 Gy, 시신경 교차에 3~11.2 Gy이었다. 중추신경계 영역의 최적화된 치료를 위하여 다양한 Plugging형태를 임상에 적용하는 것이 방사선에 민감한 정상 조직을 보호하기 위해 매우 중요한 인자가 됨을 알았다.

In a nuclear power plant, steam generator tubes cover a major portion of the primary pressure-retaining boundary. Thus very conservative approaches have been taken in the light of steam generator tube integrity According to the present criteria, tubes wall-thinned in excess of 40% should be plugged whatever causes are. However, many analytical and experimental results have shown that no safety problems exist even with thickness reductions greater than 40%. The present criterion was developed about twenty years ago when wear and pitting were dominant causes for steam generator tube degradation. And it is based on tubes with single cracks regardless of the fact that the appearance of multiple cracks is more common in general. The objective of this study is to review the conservatism of the present plugging criteria of steam generator tubes and to propose a new coalescence model for two adjacent through-wall cracks existing in steam generator tubes. Using the existing failure models and experimental results, we reviewed the conservatism of the present plugging criteria. In order to verify the usefulness of the proposed new coalescence model, we performed finite element analysis and some parametric studies. Then, we developed a coalescence evaluation diagram.

The ice plugging process consists of placing liquid nitrogen around a pipe and removing heat until the water in the pipe freezes and provides a solid plug or seal against fluid movement. This technique enables us to repair or inspect a pipe system without shutdown of entire system. A set of test apparatus for investigation of the liquid freezing phenomena during ice plugging is prepared. This study shows the characteristics of the liquid freezing and the heat transfer with various pipe and freezing jacket conditions. And in case there is flow of the fluid inside the pipe, the flow rate which can be able to form the ice plug is identified with the effect of the pipe diameter and freezing jacket length on the plug formation. The permissible maximum flow rate for the complete plug formation is approximately proportional to the freezing jacket length at the same pipe diameter condition.

Bearing capacity of open-ended piles depends largely on inner frictional resistance, which is influenced by the degree of soil plugging. While a fully-plugged open-ended pile produces a bearing capacity similar to a closed-ended pile, fully coring (or unplugged) pile produces a much smaller bearing capacity. In general, open-ended piles are driven under partially-plugged mode. The formation of soil plug may depend on many factors, including wall thickness at the pile tip (or inner pile diameter), sleeve height of the thickened wall at the pile tip and relative density. In this paper, we studied the effects of wall thickness at the pile base and sleeve height of the thickened wall at the pile tip on bearing capacity using laboratory model tests. The tests were conducted on a medium dense sandy ground. The model piles with different tip thicknesses and sleeve heights of thickened wall at the pile tip were tested. The results were also discussed using the incremental filling ratio and plug length ratio, which are generally used to describe the degree of soil plugging. The results showed that the bearing capacity increases with tip thickness. The bearing capacity of piles of smaller sleeve length (e.g., ${\leq}1D$; D is pile outer diameter) was found to be dependent on the sleeve length, while it is independent on the sleeve length of greater than a 1D length. We also found that the soil plug height is dependent on wall thickness at the pile base. The results on the incremental filling ratio revealed that the thinner walled piles produce higher degree of soil plugging at greater penetration depths. The results also revealed that the soil plug height is dependent on sleeve length of up to 2D length and independent beyond a 2D length. The piles of a smaller sleeve length (e.g., ${\leq}1D$) produce higher degree of soil plugging at shallow penetration depths while the piles of a larger sleeve length (e.g., ${\geq}2D$) produce higher degree of soil plugging at greater penetration depths.
