In this study, to Assess the Structural performance of Reinforced Concrete Shear Wall with different Slit Length. Variable of analysis is slit length(0, 600, 1200, 1500, 2400mm), showed excellent accuracy. Maximum load is decreased when the slit length increased. But Side sway of maximum load is increased when the slit length increased.

A deterioration of typical reinforced concrete bridge deck is due to the use of calcium chloride, cracks and water penetration inside of the deck slab with steel reinforcement. Therefore, in order to eliminate the defects of reinforced-concrete decks in terms of material, the steel-straped deck system is studied and developed by maximizing the arching effect while the girders are restrained using straps in lateral direction to the bridge. This parametric study was performed to analyze the structural characteristics of steel-straped deck, and to identify the factors of the thickness, span length and lateral restraint stiffness of deck slab considering the concrete nonlinearity.

The structural damage patterns of the Korean Traditional Wood Structures classified as the Jushim-po and Da-po Type are investigated. The investigations are based on the reports of repairing or actual measurements for the Jushim-po and Da-po structures. Lastly, the vulnerable parts according ot structural systems are analyzed statistically.

In this study, it was developed eco-friendly zero cement fiber reinforced concrete using ground granulated blast furnace slag and alkali activator(water glass, sodium hydroxides). Also, it was evaluated the flexure capacity of the RC beams using zero cement concrete. The eco-friendly concrete using zero cement encouraged alkali activation reaction has rapid hardening speed and showed possibility as a high strength concrete. Also, the RC beams applied this showed similar movement and destroy tendency with RC used previous cement.

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcing bars for concrete structure, as a non-corrosive material, has been extensively investigated by many researchers. However, it has not been practically used as the reinforcement or structural material in civil engineering structures due to its low elastic modulus if glass fibers were used. This study was motivated to overcome this shortcoming of FRP bars to be used for concrete structures. Material hybridization was applied to enhance its elastic modulus. The effect of material hybridization was evaluated by comparing the results of tensile test with those of non-hybrid FRP bars.

The ultimate flexural behavior of composite shell structure stiffened by steel pipe is investigated experimentally in this paper. Total 4 kinds of experimental specimens are constructed according to the size of steel pipe and diameter of GFRP septic tank. The load-displacement curves of the test are provided. xial and hoop stress of GFRP septic tank and flexural stress of steel pipe are obtained. The experiment results are useful for the verification of three-dimensional numerical analysis.

Since electrical resistivity of concrete can be measured in a more rapid and simple way than chloride diffusivity, it should be primarily regular quality control of the electrical resistivity of concrete which provides the basis for indirect of quality control of chloride diffusivity during concrete construction. This study can provide a non-destructive approach for durability design of marine concrete and it is expected that the result is subsequently used as a calibration curve for an indirect control of the chloride diffusivity based on regular measurements of the electrical resistivity during concrete construction.

Woods are used as a main material for the domestic Traditional Buildings and most Traditional Wood Structures should be conserved as Traditional Assets. To be conserved, structural performance should be evaluated. So traits of the materials are to be studied. Therefore characteristics of structural deterioration of Traditional Wood Structures are to be analysed on this study.

As the interest in leisure sports is recently increasing domestically and internationally, the number of descending experience in the air facilities is increasing. Study on the cable and wire installed on a bridge has been actively preceded from the past to the present, but for descending experience in the air facilities for leisure sports, an accident occurs frequently and examination the structural safety of these facilities is still insufficient. Therefore, structural safety by dynamic impact is evaluated through 3-dimensional infinite element modeling and analysis of the steel cable for leisure sports previously installed. It is judged that more systematical safety than before could be secured based on this.

The priority order about a rational repair and reinforcement is generally decided by subjective decision of engineer. An appearance investigation carried out to decide about a rational repair and reinforcement through systematic and objective analysis in tunnel. we could prevent expecting leakage through several improvements in the aspects of design, materials and site implementation.

In the case of cultural properties, each member has a cultural value and replacing of damaged wood is not easy. In addition, state of our country research for repair and reinforcement of timber are still incomplete. since 2008, research of the reinforcement method using CFRP plate has started. in this study, experiment for the adhesion strength along attachment length of surface bonded and NSM using CFRP plate. As a result, the adhesive strength is increased depend on increased of the adhesion area, measured the change of intensity according to the species of the wood.

Based on the analysis and test of concrete box structure under blast load, it was found that the blast retrofit by Kevlar/glass hybrid fabric sheet was more effective than retrofit by Carbon fiber reinforced plastic sheet to improve the structural performance of concrete subjected to blast pressure.

In this study, several vibration characteristics of model bridge due to changes in cable tension are experimentally analyzed. In order to achieve the study, acceleration responses are measured from the model bridge for several cable tension case. The values of features extracted by frequency transform method are increased due to tension-loss.

In this study, the measurement items for establishing the structural health monitoring for super tall buildings were proposed. The items were classified in level of structure, as a structure level and a member level. The external forces and internal responses are measured at each level to monitor the behavior of structure in real time.

The amount of newly-built bridges has been gradually reduced so that the importance of maintenance for existing bridges which has a long services period is issued. Therefore, the maintenance budget for existing bridges is going to be consistently increased. It is needed that a reasonable decision-making methodology for existing bridge maintenance is required to effectively use the limited maintenance budget. In this study, a method of the structural vulnerability evaluation is newly suggested as the one of the evaluation stage for developing a reasonable decision-making methodology.

Structural damping includes material damping, friction effects at bearing and expansion joints, friction at bolted joints and mechanical damping by damper. There is not analytical basis for estimating the damping ratios. Structural damping ratios can be estimated by measuring forced vibration amplitude of a certain mode but it is almost impossible to vibrate the actual bridges to a certain mode by force. Therefore, RD technique utilizing a lot of ambient vibration data can be a practical method to estimate damping ratio. In this study, the damping ratio is estimated by analyzing the ambient vibration data of three steel cable stayed bridges.
