As the 3D laser scanning technology capable of databaseing large sewage box culverts becomes possible, it is necessary to develop a standardization manual that can clearly distinguish the structural and operational defect types of box culver and analyze the defect data. In this study, we collected and analyzed defects in sewage box culverts of 14,827m in total by selecting three districts in Korea. The major defects were surface damages, and their defect densities were 2.17 m2/m, 0.27 m2/m and 0.10 m2/m for aggregate exposure, Steel reinforcement exposure, and Steel reinforcement projecting. In order to support the decision of the box culverment management, it was divided into five grades and each defect code and defect score were allocated. The results of this study are useful for the diagnosis of the sewage box culverts in Korea and it is expected to support a decision making for management.

Due to the sewer induced ground subsidence, there is an increasing demand for the advanced visual inspection technique for the existing sewer pipe structures. This study aim to develop a visual inspection device and real-time transmission system of inspection data with precisely evaluated structural and operational conditions of underground sewer pipe structures. In this paper, a high-precision image capturing system that automatically extracts cracks in the large-diameter sewer pipes and sewage culverts with a diameter of 1,000 mm or more, a real-time gas detection sensor for investigator safety were studied. By analyzing the module technology of the visual inspection device, the concept design for system integration was derived, and the real time transmission system of the inspection result was developed to establish the technical basis for the commercialized device. Also the crack detection test using crack calibration was carried out for the proposed image capturing camera system, and the position accuracy using L1 grade GPS module was tested in this study. The inspection technique of the existing structure condition using the visual inspection device in this study can be effectively used for various structures types and advanced composite structures in the future.

콘크리트 하수 암거는 항상 유해이온에 노출되어 있으므로 사용기간의 증가에 따라 내구적인 문제점을 보이며, 이러한 열화는 구조적인 문제로 진전된다. 콘크리트 하수암거는 일단 매립 후 유지관리가 어려우므로 초기에 높은 내구성 및 안전성을 요구한다. 최근 들어 역학적 특성과 내구적 성능의 개선을 위하여 폴리머 콘크리트가 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 폴리머 콘크리트를 이용한 하수암거에 대한 공학적 성능을 평가하였으며, 축소 모형을 통하여 이음부의 누수와 접착강도를 평가하였다. 제작된 폴리머 하수암거는 100MPa 이상의 높은 압축강도를 확보하였으며, 낮은 투수성 및 염소이온 침투성을 확보하고 있었다. 또한 내화학성 및 생물학적 시험 등에서도 우수한 저항성을 확보하고 있었다. 축소모형실험을 통하여, 이음부 누수가 없고 높은 접착강도를 확보하고 있음을 평가하였으며 연결부의 일체거동을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 제작된 프리캐스트 폴리머 하수암거는 하수도관과 같이 열악한 환경조건에 적극적으로 사용될 수 있다고 판단된다.
