The more durability of structures has been concerned, the more attention of maintenance has been given. Durability index is introduced to evaluate the state assessment in the precise safety of diagnosis in this paper. Two field data have been implemented to this proposal method. The priority of maintenance is also suggested using by this application.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the axial compression(P) - bending moment(M) interaction of PHC pile reinforced with infilled concrete and rebar. A type of 500-80t PHC pile was used for evaluating P-M interaction. From the result, the P-M of PHC pile reinforced with infilled concrete and rebar was evaluated approximately 24% and 64% higher than that of conventional PHC pile respectively.
Temperature of fresh concrete can be effectively used to predict the strength of concrete being cured and make an informed decision for stripping the molds. A hygrothermograph and thermo-couple sensors that require an extensive wiring have been applied to measure a temperature of concrete at the early stage of the curing process on site. Therefor, this study on the strength prediction using Maturity is mainly focused on, but the study on the concrete mixing blast furnace slag powder is insufficient. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships between compressive strength and equivalent age by Maturity function and is to compare and examine the strength prediction of concrete mixing Blast Furnace Slag Power using ACI and Logistic Curve prediction equation.

This paper investigated a simple geodesic line search on triangular mesh surface and a modified sub-plane on the surface. A partial adjustment and element redirection of sub-plane of extracted elements series and substituting alternative nodal point were proposed for the geodesic search with modification of sub-plane. This search technique is very simple enough to attain the geodesic line without difficult mathematical or computational method.
In this project a preliminary experimental research work was done to apply mortars containing magnetite as fine aggregates unto floor finishing materials in order to make indoor environment eco-friendly. Crushed magnetites is going to be substituted as sands in the mix design. Far-infrared radiation tests to determine emissivity and emission power were done in accordance with the KICM test standard and an outstanding result was obtained.
a initial setting of mortar containing 0.2% xylitol and 2% sodium phosphate dibasic dodecahydrate was found to become fast. And a initial setting of mortar containing 0.3% xylitol was found to become slow. Also, mortar containing xylitol and PCM can reduce of maximum temperature and increase compressive and tensile strength compared to the plain mortar and mortar containing blast-furnace slag.
Non-linear hysteresis model and analysis method are suggested to evaluate hysteresis behaviors of reinforced concrete frame having spandrel wall which was retrofitted by steel damper. As the results of non-linear static analysis, the proposed non-linear hysteresis models can represent the results of experiments similarly.
This study presents a technical overview of inspection practices on cable-stayed bridges and suspension bridges in service. Specially, it focuses on special inspections, which are regularly scheduled or unscheduled inspections, contrary to those used in general bridges. Conceptual improvements of special inspections are discussed.
In this study, a MFL (Magnetic Flux Leakage) image based 3D inspection system which is incorporated into a cable climbing robot was investigated for Steel Cable NDT of Cable-stayed Bridge and Suspension Bridge. Firstly, a MFL sensor head prototype composed of two permanent magnets and eight hall sensors was designed and fabricated. A steel cable specimen with several types of damage was inflicted and scanned by the MFL sensor head to measure the magnetic flux density of the specimen. The measured MFL signals were used to interpret the healthy condition of the steel cable. For improving the resolution and quantification of the damage level, digital signal processing techniques were performed. Finally, the measured MFL signals were visualized by using 3D imaging method.
Since cable members are the major structural components in cable bridges, they should be properly inspected for surface damage as well as inside defects such as corrosion and/or breakage of wires. In this study, only the vision-based surface damage detection system based on image processing techniques is addressed. The damage detection programs are consist of real-time and post processing detection programs. The proposed damage detection programs were verified through laboratory tests on many types of cables.
In general, a two-dimensional flat form were used to record the structural inspection information. But we performed a study utilizing 3D model to input the information of structure inspection. This study showed that the inspector could enter the inspection information more efficiently by utilizing 3D model.
It is well known that multipath disturbance is one of the major error sources impacting high precision GPS positioning. Even though most of the other error sources have been dealt with by modeling or using special practical techniques, multipath disturbance is still the limiting factor of all precise differential carrier-phase applications. Wavelet decomposition techniques proved to be a powerful tool in mitigation as introduced by various researchers. This paper presents a new trend extraction technique for multipath mitigation in carrier phase measurements domain using wavelet multi-resolution analysis.
To determine the type and dimension of modular deck, the parameter study was executed. Decks of three types were proposed and static tests were performed to verify the structural performance. From the test results, the full steel plate composite deck had about three times strength as the others.

This paper presents a structural analysis method for moment-rotation capacity evaluation of press-braked steel girders and its application. The material-properties may be affected significantly due to the press-braking manufacture. Since strain-hardening induced by press-braking generally reduces the moment-rotation capacity, such the effects have to be thoroughly reviewed. The effects of the cold-working on the material properties, geometric imperfections and residual stresses were properly included into the analytical modeling. A series of nonlinear analyses were conducted for the Z-section girder models with the SM490 steel plates of 24mm thickness by using the Newton-Raphson method and the modified Riks method provided by the ABAQUS.
