콘크리트 구조물 표면에 발생하는 균열은 사용자에게 심리적인 불안감을 제공하며, 장기간 열려있는 큰 폭의 균열은 구조 물의 사용성능 및 내구성에 영향을 준다. 국내에서는 건축물을 포함한 시설물의 노후화에 따른 안전관리를 위해 균열정도를 파악하는 조사가 인력에 의한 육안조사로 수행되고 있지만 인력의 고비용성과 객관성 미흡 등의 문제점이 대두되고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 영상분석을 통한 균열 추출 등 다양한 연구가 수행되고 있으나 균열인식 정확도 향상에 2차원 영상 분석만으로는 한계가 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 기존 2차원 영상 분석의 한계를 극복하기 위하여 3차원 특성을 정확하게 파악할 수 있는 3차원 광삼각 스캐닝기법을 활용하여 콘크리트 구조물 표면의 균열정보를 획득하는 기법을 개발하였다. 본 하 드웨어의 개발과 더불어 균열 패턴분석을 위한 획득된 균열의 세분화와 균열의 특성분석 알고리즘을 개발하였으며, 이를 실제 콘크리트 빔의 균열 탐지 적용을 통해 검증하였다.

In this study, TMD(Tuned Mass Damper) is installed in a retractable-roof spatial structure in order to investigate dynamic response characteristics according to mass ratio and installed position of TMD on large spatial structures. The example analytical model is generated based on the Singapore sports hub stadium. Twenty eight analytical models are used to investigate optimal installation position of TMD for the example retractable-roof spatial structure using 4 to 16 TMDs. The mass of one TMD is set up 1% of total mass at the example analytical model. Displacement response ratio of model with TMD is compared with that of base model without TMD. It has been found from numerical simulation that it is more effective to install TMD at the edge of the spatial structure rather than to concentrate the TMD at the center of the spatial structure.

The purpose of this study was to develop a carbon fiber sheet with embedded fiber optic sensor for maintenance and performance improvement of aged concrete bridges. The carbon fiber sheet reinforcement method can separate the concrete and the carbon fiber sheet, so it is necessary to investigate the bond performance level. However, separation of concrete and carbon fiber sheet and investigation of concrete scaling phenomenon are carried out by human, so it is difficult to secure objectivity and accurate investigation. Therefore, in this study, a method to confirm the bond level of carbon fiber sheet by reinforcing with a carbon fiber sheet with a fiber optic sensor was examined. In this study, we investigated the strain of fiber optic sensor embedded in carbon fiber sheet to identify the separate point of carbon fiber sheet. The strain measured by fiber optic sensor was measured by numerical analysis. The strain rate of the carbon fiber sheet was compared with that of the carbon fiber sheet. As a result, it was confirmed that the strain was changed at the point where the carbon fiber sheet was separated, and the strain occurred in the carbon fiber sheet was examined to predict the separate point.

Recently, damage to domestic facilities due to strong winds and typhoons is increasing. This study focused on sign structures among various vulnerable facilities. The evaluation of wind fragility was performed considering the destruction of the anchor for fixing, which is one of the failure modes of the sign structures. The performance evaluation of the anchor for fixing was carried out to derive the wind fragility. Three parameters were set and twelve anchor types were selected to perform the pull-out and shear tests. The resistance performance was estimated based on the experimental results. Wind loads were estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation method. Based on this, we derive the wind fragility according to the wind exposure category. Finally, the change of the wind exposure category and the evaluation of the wind fragility according to the experimental parameter were performed.

In this study, the fragility for transmission tower subjected to wind disaster, which has the greatest influence on transmission tower, was developed for 154kV transmission tower located between Yangyang and Sokcho city. The resistance capacity and the limit state required for the evaluation of the fragility were divided into the major part and the auxiliary part in the steel tower. Moreover, the failure of tower was defined as the yielding stress of each member in the tower which could be used to determine their resistance performance. Domestic wind design guideline and criteria for transmission tower was used to determine the wind loads demand on the tower. By comparing the loading demand and resistance capacity, the failure of tower could be determined which in turn used to derive the wind fragility. The results obtained in this study could be used as a reference for damage prediction system of transmission tower and similar structures.

The improvement in computing systems and sensor technologies devotes to conduct data-driven structural health monitoring algorithms for existing civil infrastructures. Despite of the development of techniques, the uncertainty oriented from the measurement results in the discrepancy to the actual structural parameters and let engineers or decision makers hesitate to adopt such techniques. Many studies have shown that the modal identification results can be affected by the uncertainties due to the applied methods and the types of loading. This paper aims to compare the performance of modal identification methods using Structural Modal Identification Toolsuite (SMIT) which has been developed to facilitate multiple identification methods with a user-friendly designed platform. The data fed into SMIT processes three stages for the comprehensive identification including preprocessing, eigenvalue estimation, and post-processing. The seismic and white noise response for shear frame model was obtained from numerical simulation. The identified modal parameters is compared to the actual modal parameters. In order to improve the quality of coherence in identified modal parameters, several hurdles including modal phase collinearity and extended modal amplitude coherence were introduced. Numerical simulation conducted on the 5 dof shear frame model were used to validate the effectiveness of using these parameters.

As a result of the analysis, tensile cracks can be predicted to occur in the main structure.

The probabilistic seismic safety assessment is one of the methodology to evaluate the seismic safety of the nuclear power plants. The site characteristics of the nuclear power plant should be reflected when evaluating the seismic safety of the nuclear power plant. The Korea seismic characteristics are strong in high frequency region and may be different from NRC Regulatory Guide 1.60, which is the design spectrum of nuclear power plants. In this study, seismic response of a nuclear power plant structure by Pohang earthquake (2017.11.15. (KST)) is investigated. The Pohang earthquake measured at the Cheongsong seismic observation station (CHS) is scaled to the peak ground acceleration (PGA) of 0.2 g and the seismic acceleration time history curve corresponding to the design spectrum is created. A nuclear power plant of the containment building and the auxiliary buildings are modeled using OPENSEES to analyze the seismic response of the Pohang earthquake. The seismic behavior of the nuclear power plant due to the Pohang earthquake is investigated. And the seismic performances of the equipment of a nuclear power plant are evaluated by the HCLPF. As a result, the seismic safety evaluation of nuclear power plants should be evaluated based on site-specific characteristics of nuclear power plants.

The finite element analysis program, ABAQUS (2016), was used to consider the soil - structure interaction. The results from the analysis was verified through comparison with the existing Geofoam application technique.

In this study, The recent national interest is focused on the welfare of the people, and new projects in the construction sector are being reduced, and the aging of infrastructure is not getting attention. In domestic case, most of the infrastructures were built in the 1970s to 1980s, and the road extension is also steadily increasing. Therefore, the costs to bridge maintenance from around 2010 by a similar route to that of advanced countries are also 4 times And it is time to pay attention to maintenance as well as construction. Therefore, a study was carried out on the valuation method considering bridge condition evaluation, which is a part of BIM library building and assembly program development. The proposed value evaluation method will be used as an index of the existence of bridges by comparing the cost required for maintenance and reinforcement of the target bridges and the costs required for dismantling and disposal in the bridge management system of the future program

In this study, natural period formular is presented for a RC shear wall structure with H-, T-, and L-shaped wall sections. The natural period formular proposed by Goel and Chopra and adopted in ASCE 7-10 was modified by using the ratio of the flange and web wall area. The natural periods of structures with H-shaped wall were numerically obtained, the results indicated that the ASCE 7-10 could not consider the natural period variation according to the length of the flange wall, but the proposed formula could do. Especially, ASCE 7-10 estimated much longer periods than eigenvalue analysis, and this implies that conservative seismic design is difficult. The periods by eigenvalue analysis exist between the upper and lower bounds given by the proposed formula, and conservative design is possible by using the proposed lower bound value. In order to verity the effectiveness of the proposed method, actual residential buildings with various types of flange walls are considered. Ambient vibration tests, eigenvalue analyses, and nonlinear dynamic analyses were conducted and the periods were compared with the values by ASCE 7-10 and the proposed formula. The results showed that the proposed formula could estimate more accurately the periods than ASCE 7-10.

The seismically isolated nuclear power plants shall be designed for design basis earthquake (DBE) and considered to ensure safety against beyond design basis earthquake (BDBE). In order to limit the excessive displacement of the seismic isolation system of the seismically isolated structure, the moat is installed at a certain distance from the upper mat supporting the superstructure. This certain distance is called clearance to stop (CS) and is calculated from the 90th percentile displacement of seismic isolation system subjected to BDBE. For design purposes, the CS can be obtained simply by multiplying the median displacement of the seismic isolation system against DBE by scale factor with a value of 3. The DBE and BDBE used in this study were generated by using 30 sets of artificial earthquakes corresponding to the nuclear standard design spectrum. In addition, latin hyper cube sampling was applied to generate 30 sets of artificial earthquakes corresponding to maximum - minimum spectra. For the DBE, the median displacement and the 99th percentile displacement of the seismic isolation system were calculated. For the BDBE, the suitability of the scale factor was assessed after calculating the 90th percentile displacement of the seismic isolation system.

This paper presents the novel observation model, called Modified Spherical Signature Descriptor(MSSD), capable of representing 2D image generated from 3D point cloud data. The Modified Spherical Signature Descriptor has a uniform mesh grid to accumulate the occupancy evidence caused by neighbor point cloud data. According to a kind of area such as wall, road, tree, car, and so on, the evidence pattern of 2D image looks so different each other. For the parameter learning of Convolutional Neural Network(CNN) layers, these 2D images were applied as the input layer. The Convolutional Neural Network, one of the deep learning methods and familiar with the image analysis, was utilized for the urban structure classification. The case study on CNN practice was introduced in detail in this paper. The simulation results shows that the classification accuracy of CNN with 2D images of the proposed MSSD was improved more than the traditional methods' one.
