PSC continuous girders have been used to improve the stability of simply supported girders. The loss of prestress is one of important factors for rational design and construction of the PSC girders. Measurements of prestress loss were conducted with the several test variables that reflect the conditions of continuous joint. Results show that the prestress loss is closely related to a eccentricity.

This paper provides a method to detect damage of pontoon bridge based on interpolated mode shape from forced vibration test. The 35 mode displacement vectors are interpolated with the 117 mode displacement vectors. By using the interpolated mode shape, the precision of the damage detection methods was improved.

Scouring of bridge foundation is one of the major cause of bridge failure. Scour can be defined as the excavation of foundation or other material from the bed and banks of streams, due to water flow. Scour monitoring is one of the major requirements to ensure bridge safety. There are some underwater instruments such as float-out devices which are used in scour monitoring. The available conventional underwater instruments are expensive and difficulties in maintenance. Thus vibration based monitoring techniques are emerging, this paper is one of such effort. This paper develops a vibration-based scour monitoring technique. The effect of sour on the vibration characteristics of pier is not significant at the early stages of scouring but significant changes in vibration characteristic can be identified during moderate level of scour. Thus this method can be used to identify and alert the safety of bridge prior its failure. An Extended Kalman filter is employed in this process. This paper numerically validates the monitoring capability of developed method over other vibrations based methods.

This study proposes a FE model updating strategy based on data fusion of acceleration and angular velocity. The use of acceleration and angular velocity gives richer information than the sole use of acceleration, allowing the enhanced performance particularly in determining the boundary conditions. A numerical simulation is presented to demonstrate the proposed FE model updating approach using the data fusion.

Many industries put emphasis on Environment-Friendliness as environmental problems are on the rise all over the world. Among themselves the Modular Bridge research is going on. Also performing cross-section optimization and duration reducing, this research aims at developing the modular bridge with Environment-Friendliness and economic feasibility. However, The difficulty lies in verifying environmental effectiveness because there is no field applications of the modular bridge until now. Therefore, this thesis is 40m bending steel girder modular bridge CO2 emission quantification per work type and materials according to each form to verify environmental effectiveness of the modular bridge.

This paper presents a novel bolt-loosening detection technique using image information of bolted connections in the steel bridge. The technique consists of 5 steps: (1) taking a picture for a bolted joint, (2) converting to binary image, (3) extracting individual nuts, (4) extracting outlines of the nuts, and (5) identifying rotation angles of the nuts and detecting bolt-loosening. The applicability of the proposed technique is evaluated by experimental tests with several bolt-loosening scenarios.

In this study, in order to enhance the quality of concrete dam it is mentioned that the influenced factors which effect on the water leak and methodology for weak zone survey before filling water of concrete dam.

Precast modular bridge was designed by ultimate strength design method(USD), though it is aimed at development of the world's first permanent bridge applying modular technology. Therefore, it is necessary to review the LSD in order to achieve the goal. In this study, the slab-type precast modular bridge(span 8m) was examined on the stability of bending moment in the longitudinal direction by the LSD.

In general, the lateral resistant of bearing in a straight bridge is designed for lateral load such as wind or seismic forces. In this study, however, it is found that the cause of damage of bearings in a straight bridge adjacent to the curved road is the centrifugal force or the breaking force of the vehicle. Also, it is suggested that the repair method for the damaged bearings.

Existing nondestructive test methods used to measure reinforcement corrosion is based on qualitative measurement of corrosion, and it has many difficulties of use because many equipment and measurement stages are required for application at actual sites. Accordingly, this study was conducted to estimate reinforcement corrosion of concrete structures using infrared thermography method as a method of measuring reinforcement corrosion in concrete. As for the specimen was to measure reinforcement corrosion, D13 reinforcement with size of 200×150×180mm was buried at length of 250mm for covering depth of 20mm and 40mm. Accelerated reinforcement corrosion test was carried out after placement of concrete. As a result of measuring reinforcement corrosion using infrared thermography method, temperature difference of 1~3°C was shown depending on the corrosion stage. There was a correlation in which temperature decreased according to chloride content. Infrared thermography method was confirmed as a useful method for measurement of reinforcement corrosion inside concrete.
