With the recent decreasing of available land, the usage of underground for constructing underground parking lots, subway, underground shopping centers and roads is becoming more frequent than before. Subsequently, due to the changes of the ecosystems and the depletion of ground water in the underground environments are being negatively affected due to coming into contact with corrosive and hazardous substances. In particular, the durability, safety and convenience of the people who reside or utilize these underground structures are reduced by the environmental problems originating from underground ecosystems. Currently there exist a large number of on-going topics of discussion intended to solve the problems, but in order to consolidate a proper and standardized procedure of maintaining waterproofing techniques for these underground structures, a testing method to evaluate the performance of waterproofing and waterleakage resistance in underground structures is necessary.

The remaining service life (RSL) of the concrete structures built in the past has become a social issue with the concerns of the sustainable construction. In the previous studies, some simple methods for estimation of the RSL of the concrete structures were proposed. However, most of the existing studies on the RSL evaluation method have focussed on the investigation of the single deteriorating factor. In this study, the combination effect of various factors related with durability performances of the concrete structure, such as concrete carbonation and chloride penetration were considered by utilizing the fuzzy and reliability theory.

Among the costs composing the life-cycle cost of nuclear containment, the expected loss due to leakage of radioactive material is usually exorbitant, and it takes large amount in the evaluation of life-cycle cost. This study presents a process to determine optimal target reliability for nuclear containments, mainly focuses on its expected loss. It is estimated considering the surrounding environment of nuclear containment. Target reliability of containments having different lifespan can be determined by revising the expected loss estimated from the 20, 40 and 60 years of operation.

A pipe-rack structure exposed to various environmental conditions is one of the critical structures for the safety of a plant industry. Based on a selected, typical pipe-rack structure, this study evaluated the behavior of the pipe-rack structure accounting for the operating condition of the pipe and at the same time the effect of environmental conditions.

This study was conducted to investigate the Structural Health Monitoring(SHM) system built in large-scale structures. Recently large-scale structures such as bridges and high-rise building have installed SHM system and using the SHM system, large-scale structures are monitoring the status of structures.

Cracks in concrete structures should be measured periodically to assess potential problems in durability and serviceability. Conventional crack measurement problems in durability and serviceability. Conventional crack measurement systems depend on visual inspections and manual measurements of the crack features using microscope and crack gage. However, conventional methods take time as well as manpower, and lack quantitative objectivity resulted by inspector. In this study, crack width detection of concrete structures using image processing and present a hardware specification throughout the experiment.

Reinforced concrete structures are deteriorated in a few decades due to various causes, such as carbonation.

Also, the procedure for estimating the appropriate repair zone is proposed, with the result of carbonation depth and steel bar detection.

This paper aims at featuring dynamic characteristic of cable-stayed bridge by means of an artificial filter bank(AFB), for the purpose of effective acquirement of real-time valid dynamic(acceleration) responses. The AFB was embedded into a wireless sensing system. Also, through modal testings performed on a model of cable-stayed bridge, its dynamic characteristics were featured on natural frequency. They were evaluated in comparison to wired measurement responses and FE analysis. Finally, the dynamic wireless measurement system on the basis of AFB were found technologically and economically effective by obtaining valid dynamic(acceleration) responses whose size was compressed over the frequency range of interest.

The Korean electric power industry autonomously developed the Korea Electric Power Industry Code (“KEPIC”) with political support from the government with a view to creating domestic codes and standards for electric power facilities. Since KEPIC was initially issued in November 1995, the Korea Electric Association (“KEA”) has consistently updated it, developing new codes and standards like Structural Maintenance Inspection and so on.

In this paper, decentralized data process based system identification(SI) method for building structure is proposed. For verification of the method, an experimental study was performed and the validity of the method was confirmed using unused displacement response in SI.

Large span roof structures require an analysis of their static and dynamic behavior depending on the physical parameters defining the structures. Therefore, it is highly desirable to estimate the parameters from observations of the system. However, the study of the behavior of such structures shows the existence of critical parameters. A small change in such parameters causes a significant change in the motion behavior. In this paper we study the parameter identification problem for shallow sinusoidal arches considering damping effect.
