In this study, the leak signal was measured by using an accelerometer to analyze the basic data and methodology for the development of the leak point estimation method in the water supply pipe. The measured results were analyzed by frequency analysis and cross-correlation analysis for leakage signals, and the error range was compared and analyzed with the actual leak point distance. As a result, it was confirmed that the vibration intensity due to leakage from the water leakage point was attenuated according to the distance. In the case of the ductile iron casting used in the experiment, the intensity of the signal at the 945 Hz, 1,500 Hz, 2,300 Hz band was increased with the change of the pressure in the pipe at 4mm of leakage hole. Also, it was confirmed that as the water pressure increases, the intensity of the leak signal increases but the similarity of the signal decreases. The results of this study confirm that the accelerometer sensor can be used efficiently for leak detection and it can be used as a basic data for the analysis for the development of leak point estimation method in the future.

노후수도관 개량사업은 예산상, 시공상 등의 여러 제약조건에 의해서 장기적인 계획 하에 시행되게 된다. 본 연구에서는 연구대상지역에서 1992년부터 1997년 사이에 기록된 누수 위치좌표 약 8,000개를 이용하여 누수 위치들 간의 공간적 상관관계에 대한 계층적 군집분석을 수행한다. 계층적 군집분석방법 중 최단 연결법, 최장 연결법 및 평균 연결법을 적용하여 연구대상지역을 누수위치의 공간적 상관관계에 따라 분할하였으며, 각 군집 방법 별로 분할된 구역들을
