In Japan, the main irrigation pipeline network is increasingly getting older and losing its function due to deterioration. The concept of in-situ rehabilitation for aging pipelines, which can improve the performance of a damaged pipe by installing new pipeline inside of the existing aging pipeline, has gained increasing attention. However, the seismic mechanical behavior of pipeline rehabilitated by this method is not substantially clear. In this study, to clarify the effect of damaged outer pipe on the inner pipe, shaking table tests were conducted for the buried pipe in liquefied ground. To model the inner pipe, polyvinyl-chloride (PVC) and polyethylene (PE) pipe were used. To model the outer aging pipe, different types of concrete pipes in length were used. The test results indicated that the amplitude of the bending strain in PVC pipe sharply increased due to the stress concentration at the gap between outer pipes. Additionally, the deflection mode of the pipe was categorized into two main types; bow-shaped deformation and pendulum-shaped deformation.

農業用パイプライン等の圧力管曲部には,その曲角度と内圧の大きさに応じてスラスト力が発生する.現行の設計基準では,大きなスラスト力が発生する場合,曲管部にコンクリートブロックを設けることでスラスト力を支持するが,コンクリートブロックは重量構造物であるため,地震時の位相差による継手離脱などの被災原因にもなっている.筆者らはスラスト力の対策工法として,ジオグリッドを用いた軽量なスラスト防護工法を提案し,検討を進めている.本研究では,スラスト防護工法として流動化処理土を用いる際の各種補強材の効果について,曲げ試験を行い,さらにPIV(Particle Image Velocimetry:粒子画像流速測定法)による画像解析を行うことにより検討を加えた.

筆者らは,圧力管曲部に作用するスラスト力の対策工法として,ジオグリッドを用いた軽量なスラスト防護工法を提案し,これまでに模型実験,数値解析,大規模模型埋設実験験ならびに振動台実験などによって当提案工法がスラスト対策工法として有効であり,耐震性に優れていることを明らかにしてきた.本研究では,サイホン部緊急布設替えの施工に際して,当提案工法を採用し,管内水圧,周辺地盤の土圧,ジオグリッドの発生ひずみを計測した.計測結果から,現場においても当提案工法の有効性が実証された.
