A wide range of sensors are used to figure out structure behaviors such as strain gauge, vibrating wire sensor, and etc. For stress sensor, it is exact but can only measure relative changed values. For displacement sensor, it is also exact but hard to figure out 3D displacement. Motion capture system can solve these problems so widely used in various fields including animation, sports and medical industry. This paper is aimed to define accuracy for motion capture system through the capturing a stopped passive marker. From this findings, possiblity to apply to structural health monitoring especially in building structure was verified.

This study presents the comparison or distribution of the dynamic responses with or without soil-structure interaction. As a result, the maximum dynamic displacements and member forces of the suspension bridge with the soil-structure interaction (SSI) are larger than those without SSI. Therefore, the SSI analysis of suspension bridge must be performed more exactly to represent its dynamic responses.

The structural stability as well as wind environments were not evaluated until now during maintaining in-service long span bridges unless wind-associated problems occur. Recently, typhoons or strong winds occur frequently because of global warming and climate changes so it is necessary to evaluate the wind stability of in-service bridges considering wind environment based on the field measurement. This study provides some basic information for wind environments of Dolsan cable-stayed bridge through analysis of measured wind data.

Damages due to typhoon and floods are increasing as a result of global warming and abnormal climate phenomenon over the world. Flood and scour is one of the major causes for bridge collapse. However, maintenance and inspection techniques still need improvements especially for underwater structures like bridge piers in rivers. Conventionally, manual inspection by divers has been carried out for underwater structures of bridges. This has difficulties in gathering accurate and reliable field data under severe environmental conditions. Therefore, in this study, underwater inspection of bridges has been carried out using the side scan sonar (SSS), one of unmanned underwater inspection equipment. Compared to the conventional manual inspection, it has been found that the SSS can be efficiently utilized to underwater inspection of bridges especially with bad visibility or large-scale inspection area.

Therefore Monitoring of measurement and analysis frequency is conduct more often within about 4 years after the measuring instrument installation. Four years later, slowing the frequency of measurement is considered reasonable.

Despite the fact that wireless sensor is needed to be activated in order to do efficient and continuous management, batteries are limited on their lives in case of wireless sensor.

And the possibility of wireless sensor node power supply is verified by using an acceleration data of cable hangers of YoungJong Grand Bridge.

The mechanical properties of stone structures are generally characterized according to the strength of the stone used. An ultrasonic velocity method that does not damage cultural heritages is used to measure the strength of stone. However, there is no correction involved for surface roughness and thickness of the stone in the ultrasonic method currently used. In addition, a contact agent such as grease can cause contamination on the surface of a cultural heritage.

In the last stage, the geometric distortion correction is conducted using angular information given by a gyro sensor. The algorithm was successfully applied on raw sonar data collected on a pier survey.
