This research aims to detect delamination-like damage from asphalt-concrete interface using contactless ultrasonic technique. FEM simulation and experiments demonstrate that surface waves and S mode are strongly present when there is delamination-like damage. It is believed that the measurement of S mode by non-contact ultrasonic system will allow one to determine the existence of delamination-like damage from bridge decks.

Structural dynamic properties such as natural frequency depend not only on damage but also environmental condition (i.e., Temperature). Without removing the variation of environmental condition in the damage detection, false-positive or negative damage diagnosis may occur so that structural health monitoring becomes unreliable. One of methods used to solve this problem is to construct regression model based on structural responses with the environmental factors. However, it is difficult to determine where and which environmental variables to measure. One alternative is to remove the variability due to environmental variation without measurement of environmental variables. However, the performance of this method is depending on how to define the reference data set. Generally, there is no prior information on reference condition (i.e., healthy condition) during data mining. Reference condition is determined based on subjective perspective with human-intervention. To overcome the drawback of current methods, this paper investigates adaptive PCA technique for the monitoring of structural damage detection under environmental change. This method is not required to determine the reference condition and measure the environmental variables. Proposed method is tested on numerically simulated data for a range of noise in measurement under environmental variation.

본 연구에서는, 모드유연도 행렬 기반 변위를 이용한 고층빌딩의 손상진단 알고리즘을 제안한다. 손상에 의해 유발되는 손상유발 층간 변위의 관계식을 통해 고층빌딩의 손상진단을 위한 손상지수를 제안하였으며, 다중손상의 손상추정을 위한 베이스라인 변경기법을 제안했다. 제안된 방법은 수치모 델이 필요하지 않으며, 계측된 신호처리만을 통해 고층빌딩의 손상추정이 가능하다는 점, 그리고 다중손상에 대한 손상추정이 가능하다는 장점을 지닌다. 제안된 방법의 성능검증을 위해 10층 빌딩모 델에 대한 일련의 수치해석을 수행했다.
