In order to understand the seismic performance of weir structure under seismic events, concrete weir structure with infinite foundations was modeled in ABAQUS. Additionally, this study conducted the three different design response spectra based on KBC 2009, ASCE 7-05, and EuroCode 8. The results from numerical analyses showed that the seismic behavior of weir structure subjected to seismic ground motions was sensitive to natural frequency and mass participation factors.

To minimize damage from disasters, various aspects of prevention, preparation, and response, etc. are being managed. A system that can share the identical disaster information based on prompt disaster management and prediction must be developed and constructed for integrated disaster management.

This study employed a Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo based HEC-1 rainfall-runoff model to generate the plausible flood scenarios. The proposed modeling scheme showed a promising result in terms of estimating a set of model parameters and deriving their uncertainties. In this regard, the proposed model can be applied to various hydrologic applications such as frequency curve derivation, and hydraulic structures risk analysis.

A new array was suggested for effective leakage detection of concrete water facility. This array was modified to serve the purpose. Plus and minus currents have been installed respectively on the upstream and downstream water in order to detect the flow of water floating through the crack of facility. Potential poles in two lines have been installed closer than current sources to the weir to measure potential difference in upstream and downstream. Interpreting the potential difference data acquired by the new array, we could predict that where is the leakage zone. The possibility that can distinguish the leakage zone has been confirmed by numerical and physical modeling and problem position expected to leak was verified in field exploration.

This study presented the seismic performance of weir structures with infinite foundations subjected to seismic ground motions, rather than finite soil foundation to avoid the reflection of seismic wave propagation at the mesh boundaries. The analytical model of weir structures was developed in ABAQUS　platform and then the seismic performance of concrete weir structure was evaluated through design response spectrum (KBC 2009). It was revealed that the maximum stresses obtained from infinite models was significantly increased, in comparison to the finite models.

Waterside structures such as dams or levees are essential for flood protection, and flood induced failures of such structures can cause serious damages. Real-time safety prediction can prevent most of the damages to inland or the consequential economic damages induced by flood hazards. This study introduces a method of real-time safety prediction by evaluating the correlation between numerical simulation, real-time measurement, and geo-centrifuge data.

It is largely divided into two kinds in freezing phenomenon of the tunnel. Waterproof membrane damage inside the tunnel construction joints leaked into groundwater leak occurs in the icicle and despite the absence of damage to the waterproofing membrane, waterproofing membrane from the back of the ground water is frozen freeze by interfering with smooth

Frequent damages and safety incidences had occurred. Although Korea Expressway Coporation is well organized for various disaster and incidences on expressway based on its many experiences, it still have difficulties in demonstrating its superiority and capability in disaster management. Also when compared with disaster management framework of other organization in developed countries, level of the management still need the improvement.

Non-destructive test is using rebound hardness and ultrasonography generally. They generate a difference with Core compressive strength in estimation of compressive strength because they are indirectly. Therefor, Inter-rater Reliability analysis was performed to evaluate the reliability of Non-destructive Method. Reliability analysis, while there is correlation two times only between the rebound hardness method and Core compressive strength in total eight cases but ultrasonography method has six times. so ultrasonography method is more reliable than Rebound hardness method.

In reinforced concrete (RC) structures, concrete carbonation depth is an important criterion for the deterioration of durability of RC structures. Concrete carbonation is influenced by multiple factors such as chloride attack, crack, concrete compressive strength, etc. However, due to its complex mechanism, most previous studies considered only one or two deterioration factors to estimate the concrete carbonation depth. In this study, therefore, inspection data were collected from 8 buildings, and the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) algorithm that estimates the concrete carbonation depth of RC structures has been proposed. The proposed ANFIS model provided good estimations on the carbonation depths.

Also, on the grout by adding fiber checked flexural toughness, cracking tendency test.

To verify the performance of the sensor, we analyzed the building structure frequency domain, low frequency domain, El-centro sesmic wave for response characteristic. We also tested the sensor whether it can measure angular displacement or not.

This paper presents the experimental results for reinforcement effect for FRP strengthened steel structures. Bond behavior, flexural, and compression were conducted. First, from bond test, it was able to examine the interfacial behavior and to evaluate the interfacial bond stress between AFRP plate and steel plates. Second, for flexural test, maximum load was increased with increasing FRP layer. Also, debonding failure was observed between steel plates and FRP plates. Third, for compression, for short columns it was observed that two sides would typically buckle outward and the other sides would buckle inward. Also, for long columns, overall buckling observed. The maximum load was increased up to 33% for slender section short columns. From the test, it was able to verify the reinforcement effect for FRP strengthened steel structures.

Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) and viscoelastic damper (VED) is a well-known vibration absorbing equipment in the civil engineering realm. Although the dampers are typically used separately, combined use of dampers worth investigation.
