This paper aims to develop a wireless multi-sensing system for structural health monitoring of civil structures. This system is designed to measure all kinds of data--static and dynamic response, etc--from a multi-sensing data logger, and to transmit the measured data by means of a wireless real-time RF module, and to analyze the transmitted data for a health monitoring of structure. To test its validity, a FE analysis of a model cable-stayed bridge has been conducted for system identification. And a modal test of the model bridge has been also performed by both the proposed system and a cable based commercial measurement system(IOTech) for comparison. Based on those results, the proposed system was found to have an excellent capability of measuring and transmitting data from actual structure, and thus to be applicable to health monitoring of civil structures.

In order to evaluate the seismic safety of weir structure subjected to seismic ground motions, simple linear elastic 2D plane strain Finite Model (FE) was developed in ABAQUS platform. Also, the 1994 Northridge earthquake as a ground motion uncertainty was selected. The numerical results showed that the compressive stress was significantly increased in comparison to the results from the design spectrum analysis but the horizontal displacement was reduced about 28%.

To examine the in-place strength development of concrete of nuclear containment structures with the wall thickness of 1200 mm, mock-up wall specimens were prepared. For maturity evaluation, the temperature rise in the wall specimens owing to hydration heat of cementitious materials was also measured. The in-place strength of concrete was measured using core specimens collected at different locations of mock-up walls. Test results showed that in-place compressive strength development was 1.5 times higher than the strength measured from the standard cylinders. This indicates the maturity effect is needed to be considered in predicting the compressive strength development of concrete in mass structures.

It is expected to be practically applied in the reliability-based design of real structures including floating structures.

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.

Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) is a prominent mean of controlling structural vibration. Typically the TMDs are installed at the top of the structure. In this study, the effectiveness of the multiple tuned mass dampers (MTMD) distributed along with the height of structure is investigated for seismic loading. A ten storey building with lateral degree of freedom is modeled with distributed tuned mass dampers in the platform of MatLab R2010a. Though the first mode of a MDOF system dominates in response of the structure, it is also observed that the other mode can also have a significant role in the response reduction. Suitable location for the installation of the TMDs and there tuning frequencies are selected based on the mode shape and frequencies of the uncontrolled structure respectively. It is observed that distributed TMD is more effective than Single TMD and Multiple TMD installed at top of the structure in response reduction.
