Measurement items of phenomena reflecting the overall condition of the structure during the measurement for safety management in the dam include water volume and displacement depending on the number of water leaks. Leakage measurements, which are important indicators to be measured on a dam, require significant accuracy and reliability. However, the dam design basis includes general measurement equipment, but the lower the limit for calculating the water leakage, and the lack of accuracy and reliability is a phenomenon. Therefore, in order to improve accuracy and reliability of the dam's major measurement items, the standards of the dam water measuring meter and the suitability of the water leak calculation formula (based on USBR) are reviewed to elicit problems and suggest solutions.
Recently, there are few cases of the Precise Inspection for Safety and Diagnosis for transverse crack of CFRD. The presumable causes and characteristics of transverse cracks have suggested in this paper based on field survey and related NDT. Also, the maintenance of transverse crack of CFRD are proposed.

The purpose of this study is to utilize the basic data and to propose the service life prediction method of RC structures. For this, we analyzed the existing programs used for service life prediction software in international such as U.S, Japan, Greece and Canada. The results of Analysis, the prediction of carbonation and chloride were common items in respectively programs.
According to the available date sources, 1,814 bridges failures occurred over the past 210 years in the United States. The most frequent cause of bridges failures were attributed to external events such as: floods, collisions, scour, overloading and deterioration. Among these external events, Hydraulic factor caused the maximum number of bridges failures with 54% of the total failures. 20% of hydraulic factor was failed by scour. Thus, base on the result of reviewing design basis and safety assessment practices, criteria for determining safety assessment of bridge foundation scour is proposed. 25 bridges were reviewed for applicability to scour safety assessment of passing bridges in river channels.

The aim of this study is to evaluate performance of wind-resistant for existing bridges. For this purpose, It is examined the necessity of dynamic wind tunnel test for existing bridge by theoretical equations before implementation of the test, and the method of wind-resistant performance evaluation is presented so that wind tunnel test would be determined whether it needs to conduct.
The aim of this study is to evaluate performance of snow-resistant for the existing building. For this purpose, it was to propose a way to evaluate whether facilities reach goal performance as performance level separated by immediate occupancy level and collapse prevention level. Preliminary evaluation was developed to conduct by using assessment index of five items of vulnerability and two items of impact for selecting the reinforcement priority of target facilities.
