Via the multiple regression analysis of data accumulated through field experiments and relations of 3 variables, and equation was devised.

이 연구의 목표는 학교 건물과 같은 저층 보－기둥 철근콘크리트 구조 건물에서 프리캐스트 벽패널을 사용한 새로운 내진보강 방법을 개발하는 것이다. 1개의 무 보강 보－기둥 실험체와 U형 PC 벽패널로 보강한 2개의 보강 보－기둥 실험체에 대한 정적 이력 하중실험을 진행하였다. 앵커접합 PR1-UA 실험체와 철판접합 PR1-UP 실험체는 무 보강 실험체보다 평균 2.8배(평균 591.8 kN)의 강도 증가를 보여 주었다. 최대 변위비도 1.4%에서 2.7%사이 값을 보여주었다. RC 골조 우측 상단에서 좌측방향으로 가력 할 때 우측에 있는 RC 기둥과 보강 PC 패널의 수직 요소는 완전 합성상태로 가정하였고, 좌측에 있는 RC 기둥과 PC 패널은 완전 비 합성 거동하는 것으로 가정하여 해석한 결과 전체적인 휨 거동은 실험 결과와 대체적으로 부합하는 것으로 판단되었다.

본 연구에서는 하도 내 수제 형 수리구조물을 설치하였을 때, 만곡수로와 수충부에서의 흐름 양상 변화를 3차원 유속 측정을 통해 확인하였다. 연구를 위해 길이 24.4m, 폭 1.5m, 하상경사 2%의 만곡수로에서 실험을 수행하였다. 실험은 단일 수제의 설치 여부에 따라 크게 두 가지 경우로 나누어 수행하였다. 유속의 측정에는 3차원 초음파 유속계(Acoustic Doppler velocimeter, ADV)를 사용하였으며 각 단면 당 약60개의 측점을선정하여 일정한시간 동안측정하였다. 측정된 유속들은시간평균하였으며, 각단면에서의측정결과를연결하여만곡수로의수면유속을파악하였다. 그결과, 수제설치로 인해구조물하류에위치한만곡부외측에서의유속이현저하게감소하였고제방을향했던흐름의방향이내측으로변화하 였음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Chloride attack, one of the reasons for early deterioration of concrete, is a phenomenon where detrimental ions such as chlorine ion penetrate into concrete from outside to diffuse and corrode the steel rebar, greatly deteriorating the durability of RC members or structures. Sources of chloride attack can be divided into the direct / indirect influence caused by seawater or its splash in the maritime environment and the de-icing salts used for the purpose of thawing the ice on the wintry road. Most notably, the usage of de-icing salts is essential for the safety of drivers and smooth traffic flows in expressways. However, they also quicken the deterioration of concretes, necessitating the countermeasures for the problem. This paper discusses the early deterioration and measurements of RC Structures under de-icing salts environments.

Concrete represents the mostly widespread structural material for construction of buildings due to its mechanical properties such as durability, variability and availability of resources.

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.
