As the pilot study on textile reinforced mortar(TRM) construction method, the present research has been conducted to investigate the tensile performance of fiber-reinforced polymer(FRP) grids inserted in inorganic mortar. For this purpose, experiment was carried out using twenty specimens with the main parameters of inorganic mortar and FRP grids. As a result, splitting failure did not occur between inorganic martar and FRP grids. As FRP grids were completely fractured, the specimens failed by showing the similar tensile behavior to the mechanical properties of FRP grids.

In this study, the retrofit effect of fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) jacketing by optimal algorithm for the existing reinforced concrete (RC) moment frame is investigated.

The amounts of FRP reinforcements according to the retrofit positions are independently determined by the genetic algorithm based optimal method The amounts of FRP reinforcements and the collapse probability are considered by using the objective functions.

Shear capacity of a Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) was investigated by an experimental study. Control beam (unstrengthened) and eight beams strengthened with TRC were fabricated to confirm the reinforcing performance in this study. Test variables considered the number, width, spacing of TRC, and reinforcing method accordance with type of attachment. As a results, it was validated that the shear capacity of beams strengthened with TRC in comparison with unstrengthened beam increased from 11.4% to 54.3% according to the amount of TRC. Experimental results indicated an increase in both load carrying and deformation capacities, and also ductility when using multiple layers of textile.

The purpose of this study is to assess the strengthening effect of fiber-reinforced polymer(FRP) grids on flexural members. For this purpose, experimental study was conducted using seven flexural specimens with the main variables of an FRP grid and inorganic mortar used as adhesive. All the specimens failed due to the tensile rupture of FRP grids without debonding between FRP grids and inorganic mortar. It was found that the strengthening effect was dependent on the material properties of FRP grids.

Conventional approach for restraining additional lateral movement of bridge abutment is to decrease applied load by replacing rear ground with EPS block, ALC(autoclaved lightweight concrete), to increase soil resistance by applying tie-rod, geo-grid, permanent anchor, counterweight fill, and to increase lateral bearing capacity of soil by installing grouting, restraint pile. With properly restrained lateral movement of bridge abutment by applying those methods, the expansion joint and bridge bearing can be repaired after securing expansion joint gaps by cutting off concrete slabs and steel box girder. In this paper, the proposed approach for securing expansion joint gaps by restoring displaced bridge abutment to its original position with the use of hydraulic jacking device is discussed. By using hydraulic jacking device, cutting off concrete slabs and steel box girder is unnecessary.

Ballast track has been widely used because of convenient maintenance. However, ballast deterioration requires frequent maintenance due to increasing speed, weight, and traffic of trains. Fouling is known as deterioration and expedites irregular settlement. In this paper, non-destructive methods were applied and investigated in order to evaluate ballast conditions such as thickness of fouling layer. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Dynamic Cone Penetrating (DCP) Test resulted in reasonable detection of fouled layer.

In this study, to evaluate the applicability of VDMS(Vision-based Displacement Measurement System) in the field, 30m of real specimens were measured vertical displacement using the VDMS and a displacement Transducer. The VDMS was to take a picture by attaching Target on the structure. Then, by analyzing the video in Digital Image correlation algorithm obtained a displacement of the structure. The vertical displacement of 30m real specimens using the VDMS and a displacement Transducer was very similar, and it is determined that the VDMS has a high applicability in the field.

The probabilistic prediction method and procedure of ships traffic for reasonably considering the enlargement of ships and increase in the large vessels of the vessel were established in this paper. However the problem related on prediction method, confidence intervals and selecting the target tonnage considering the enlargement of ship for prediction of ships is lack of results such as design example and study case. Therefore it requires various methodological study.

Measurement of dynamic displacement of large structure is one of the most challenging issues in structural health monitoring. With a Kalman filter based technique, the proposed displacement measurement system which consists of GPS-RTK, accelerometer, DAQ, and computer shows the huge potential for precise measurement of dynamic displacement of large structure. The performance of the system has been verified by modal shaker test. This paper presents a new system for dynamic and pseudostatic displacement measurement for a large-scale civil infrastructure. Even though dynamic displacement measurement on a large-scale structure is one of the most challenging issues in structural health monitoring, traditional displacement sensors as well as cutting edge noncontact sensors suffers from the lack of accuracy and precision due to field conditions such as measurement distance and requirement for a fixed support. With a Kalman filter based technique, the proposed displacement measurement system, which consists of a GPS-RTK, accelerometer, DAQ and computer, efficiently estimates bias contained in the acceleration record by fusing the acceleration with intermittently recorded GPS-RTK data, and estimate high precision and high accuracy displacement by removing the bias from the acceleration record and conducting double integration. Through a series of lab-scale tests using a vibration exiciter, the performance of the system has been verified and shows the potential for accurate and precise measurement of dynamic displacement of a large-scale structure.
