Abstract

'The facilities standards of water supply' issued by the Ministry of Environment in 2004 indicates that expansion joints cannot be used in welding water supply steel pipes. However, their reason is not clear and it is difficult to confirm the stability of the steel pipe for a water supply pipeline. The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not an expansion joint is necessary to improve the stability of water supply in steel pipe through a displacement analysis of the pipework. The test results are as follows. Firstly, it was found that expansion and contraction of the water supply steel pipe (D 2,400 mm) occur repeatedly in 4 cycles per year, and the maximum expansion and contraction amount of the pipe is 13.03 mm in 1.24 km pipelines. Secondly, the thermal stress caused by expansion and contraction of the steel pipe is $13.7{\sim}36.1kgf/cm^2$ according to the burial depth (0~4 m). The main comparison factors to determine the stability of the steel pipe (STWW 400) were the allowable tensile strength and the fatigue limit, which were computed to be $4,100kgf/cm^2$ and $1,840kgf/cm^2$, respectively. Finally, the thermal stress of the steel pipe is very small compared to the allowable tensile stress and fatigue stress. Therefore, thermal stress does not affect the stability of the steel pipe, although the expansion and contraction of the steel pipe occurs by temperature changes. In conclusion, the study demonstrated that expansion joints are not required in water supply steel pipelines.

환경부에서 수립한 "상수도 시설기준(2004)"은 관로 신축이음관 설치기준에 있어서는 용접이음 강관에는 설치하지 않는 것으로 규정하고 있으며, 이에 대한 근거가 명확하지 않고 관로 안정성이 충분히 확보되었는지 확인하기가 어렵다. 금번 연구에서는 강관의 거동 분석을 통한 관로 안정성을 연구하여 신축이음관의 필요여부를 검증하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 검토결과는 아래와 같다. 첫째, 아스팔트 도복장강관(D2,400 mm)은 온도변화에 따라 4-cycle로 관로 신 수축이 반복되며, 연장 1.24 km에 있어 최대 13.03 mm의 변위를 나타내었다. 둘째, 수도용 강관의 신 수축으로 발생되는 온도응력은 매설깊이(최대 4 m)에 따라 $13.7{\sim}36.1kgf/cm^2$로 발생되며, 강관(STWW 400)의 안정성에 큰 영향을 키치는 주요 비교인자인 허용 인장강도와 피로한도는 $4,100kgf/cm^2$와 $1,840kgf/cm^2$로 산출되었다. 마지막으로, 수도용 강관의 온도응력은 허용 인장강도와 피로한도와 비교시 매우 작음에 따라, 온도변화에 의한 관로의 신 수축이 발생하여도 관로 안정성에는 영향을 끼치지 못함을 알 수 있었다. 결론적으로 금번 연구를 통하여 수도용 강관의 관로부에는 신축이음관을 설치할 필요가 없는 것으로 증명되었다.
