Finally, the effect of the boundary condition of the support structure and impact loading duration were investigated.
An ICH RC (internally confined hollow reinforced concrete) tower for supporting 5.0MW wind turbine was developed and its standard sections were designed. It was found that ICH RC wind tower is satisfied with maximum 200% bigger moment which is required for pre-existing steel tower. Also, the results from the FAST showed that 5.0MW turbine can be normally operated with the ICH RC tower.

This study investigates the effect of elevated temperatures on the pore structure of cement paste which, in turn, can provides information to evaluate the damage level of concrete structures due to fire. Mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) test was conducted for this investigation. Test results showed that the higher the temperature, the higher is the pore volume of cement paste and the wider is the pore distribution.
Selection of a typical four companies products of domestic structural one-component sealant, high temperature, low temperature, room temperature to set up the environment for each of 80, -20, 20 ℃ and the left and right displacement of the test piece 30, 15, 0% of the maximum compression / expansion It was carried out by the repeated fatigue.
This study proposes a measurement method using angular sensors to measure deformation and displacement of bridges. The proposed measurement method consists of gyroscope sensors and data processor to transform angular to vertical displacement. This study contains experimental evaluation to verify the applicability of the proposed method. 3-points bending tests were conducted on a small-sized girder specimen. The displacements were measured with both conventional LVDT and gyroscope sensor to compare the accuracy of the proposed method. It is estimated that the method using gyroscope shows some noise in data, but the method using gyroscope has advantages to measure the vertical displacement. Therefore if the sampling rate and synchronizing problems can be approved, it can be a good alternative measuring method for the deformation of the bridges.
From the past, space structure have been widely used as sports arenas, religious facilities. And the demand and research for retractable structure is increasing recently. Therefore, we classify the retractable mechanism which is divided according to the retractable method of structures and survey the present condition of retractable structures built around the world.

Structural performance of cable-bridge has been evaluated based on the field load test and the measurement monitoring system of existing Nielsen arch bridge. The measured acceleration data was converted to the displacement of girder and the tension of cable in the process of numerical integration and maximum frequency detection algorithm..
These days, inexpensive and high efficiency UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) of disaster prevention and spatial information has been given more attention. But studies about test of accuracy of UAV were not enough despite high interest. UAV technology has been developed for military purposes, but in recent years, it has been used for various purposes in different forms in the private sector as spread to the public sector. However, since the study applying the UAV technologies to the inspection and maintenance of structures are insufficient so far, this study suggests an application method of UAV technology for inspection and investigation of infrastructure facilities. If the UAV technology is used in inspection and investigation of infrastructure facilities, it will be able to conduct a safety check and inspect high areas and narrow passages, which are difficult or impossible to access by manpower, and further improve the safety of the structure.
