With the recent earthquake measuring 5.4 in Pohang, attention is being raised to the effects of the structures caused by the earthquake. In this study, seismic effect of the tunnel structure was analyzed by the time history analysis method using the measurement results of the nearby structures. Most of the analysis results showed displacement and stress results of one tenth level of the artificial seismic wave using design seismic acceleration, and the actual field survey revealed that the effects of earthquakes were minor.

This study investigated and analyzed the housing type of North Korea and the current status of standard housing construction. The purpose of this study is to establish a strategy for securing the safety of North Korean standard houses with relatively low structural performance compared to South Korea. In addition, we will use this data as basic data for planning a low-cost emergency reinforcement method to prepare against the natural disasters that are taking place frequently.

To suggest the preliminary data for effective maintenance of bridge structures, the damage patterns of expressway bridges are quantitatively analyzed in the present study. The defects are the primary damage, and the deterioration occurred around the joint.

This paper presents the effect of recycled aggregate on the structural design in replacement of natural aggregate. As an actual structure, the concrete airshaft in a subway under construction was chosen and design-criteria obtained from experiments in association with different ratios of recycled aggregate were applied. It was found from the analysis that recycled aggregate can be applied to real concrete structures considering just strength concept and also if other unknown problems such as quality, serviceability and so on be solved.

The purpose of this paper is to assess the effect of surface characteristic of GFRP rebar on concrete-reinforcement bond behavior. For sample preparation, 10 GFRP rebar with two types of surface conditions were used to fabricate 15×15×15cm sized GFRP reinforced concrete. Then, pull-out test was carried out on each concrete samples until the maximum bond strength was achieved. From the test result, it was found that the maximum bond strength at the lattice type is 1.38 times higher than that for unidirectional surface.

This study is to prepare prediction method of the durability establishment for the effective maintenance of reinforced concrete substation structures. For this study, we investigated research trends about the foreign practices relating durability design.

This study is the result of the survey on perception and anxiety of high - rise buildings in the general public. As a result of the survey, there was insufficient change in awareness before the construction of high - rise buildings such as landmarks was insufficient (before 2015). However, half of the citizens who felt uneasy that high-rise buildings were likely to collapse due to external influences were close. The anxiety was mainly due to the information of the press or the Internet. It is thought that the cause of anxiety comes from touching negative opinions about the high-rise buildings.

The maintenance cost is rapidly increasing due to the increased of infrastructures such as railway and port etc., it is necessary management method of facility for measures and extend life. In the case of international infrastructure, in order to asset management to reasonably and effectively, asset management systems were developed for the management of facilities in various countries such as Australia and Canada etc. In this study, to develop the asset management process, the question investigation was conducted on maintenance site personnels for maintenance of the steel structure.

For steel structure, corrosion problem can be a major maintenance area. Even with the same steel structure, corrosion damage can be changed depending on the location and form of thes structural member. In this study, rherefore, In order to evaluate the relative corrosion enviornmnet depending on the installed condition of the structural steel member, the corrosion deterioration environment was monitored for the large-size steel frame structure.

In many climatic conditions, there is UV ray, which is called ultraviolet rays, which has the greatest effect on sealing materials. Because UV has high energy, it changes the internal structure of polymer and causes quality deterioration. In addition, temperature, humidity, and rainfall, snowfall, and atmospheric pollutants are also factors to be avoided in maintaining the integrity of the sealant. In this study, we tried to obtain reproducibility by using a composite deterioration test device which can describe the environment of the outside air as a part of the research project to investigate the weather change in the prototype of the structural sealant. The outdoor exposure test result and the composite deterioration test device Correlation analysis. In the future, it will be possible to predict the changes in the physical properties of the structural sealant by applying the composite deterioration test equipment and outdoor exposure test data.

The old electric transmission tunnel over thirty years old in northern Seoul is operated with Ttukdo substation as its starting point and 41km-length since March, 1980, and the trend is an icrease in embedded electric power structures over thirty years old beyond sixty kilometers. If the corrosion occur in reinforced concrete structures, it is considered as the important factor among deterioration factors .By examing the seventy-two cases of concrete carbonation and covering depth in order to analyze the concrete carbonation of electric power structures over thirth years old in Gangbuk-gu, this paper atempts to analyze carbonation coefficient, remaning service life, and concrete carbonation of old embedded electric power structures for reference to predict the concrete carbonation progress.

Recently, accidents caused by the aging of structures are occurring frequently in the world. As a result, maintenance and accident prevention of structures are required. In this study, for the purpose of addressing these issues to solve these problems, we developed a non - destructive inspection technique using thermal imaging and planned damage detection process. we set up a scenario to detect the invisible excursions, cracks, and internal damage by sensing and analyzing the thermal energy radiated by the stainless steel test piece (STS304) with infrared thermal imaging equipment.

The target in the design of base isolated structures is the selection of isolation system properties so that optimal performance is achieved among seismic levels and performance metrics. To withstand very rare ground motions, isolation system are frequently designed with significant strength or damping, and as a result such devices provide reduced isolation effect for more frequent seismic events. To investigate improvements to the design of isolated structures, a lot of research program is performed. Experimental investigations are presented to characterize smart base isolation capable of progressively exhibiting different hysteretic properties at different stages of response. Shear tests are conducted along the ISO standard, including harmonic characterizations tests. These tests included various input intensities, multi-component excitation. Behavior of the new smart base isolation system is compared with that of linear isolation systems with both nonlinear viscous and bilinear hysteretic energy dissipation mechanisms.

This paper presents the seismic performance of the steel damper under reversed cyclic loading. The U-shaped steel damper used in this study was designed to have energy dissipation zone with an external diameter of 120 mm, a width of 15 mm, and a thickness of 15 mm. The cyclic loading test was carried out using an uniaxial universal testing machine with a capacity of 2,000 kN. The test results indicated that no strength deterioration of the specimen was found as well as the equivalent damping ratio of the specimen was excellent.

In this paper, structural behavior of internal and external connection of modular system was evaluated by finite element analysis(FEA). As a result of FEA, results of experiment and analysis were nearly similar to validate analysis model. Parametric analysis will be necessary using this valid analysis model

The purpose of this study was to experimentally evaluate seismic performance of connection of modular system. As a result of experiment study, two specimens did not show the strength reduction and brittle fracture at connection until 2% story drift. Thus, requirements for intermediate moment frame(IMF) was satisfied in two specimens.
