In this paper, a hydraulic damper was developed to protect the storage racks from earthquakes and the seismic performance of the storage racks was improved by applying the developed damper. In order to achieve these goals, the control capacity for the safety of the storage racks was determined, and a hydraulic damper satisfying the control capacity was designed and manufactured. In addition, the location of the hydraulic damper was determined through simulation. Finally, the shaking table test was carried out. As a result, the seismic performance improvement of the storage racks using the hydraulic damper was confirmed.

In this paper, real-time damage assessment technology was developed for detection the damage of bridges in real time and the performance of the developed technology was verified by vibration test. Real-time damage assessment technology was developed by combining statistical pattern recognition technology and simulation technology. In order to verify the developed technology, the earthquake response acquisition experiment was conducted according to the cable damage of the model cable-stayed bridge. As a result, it was confirmed that the developed real-time damage assessment technology can provide information on the location of damaged cable.
