This paper aims to evaluate the safety of the cable supported bridges under the occurrence of damages on cable system. There are more than 50 cable supported bridges currently built in the Korean peninsula and efficient and systematic maintenance and management are in great demand. However, safety of the bridges cannot be under estimated and should be properly evaluated. In this paper, two bridges (one cable-stayed bridge and one suspension bridge) in South Korea were investigated their safety based on the damage scenario of cable system. FEM analysis for safety evaluation of the two bridges was conducted and the results were explained. The result could be used by operators and owners of bridges for the future maintenance and management.

The safety issue of PSC box Girder Bridge is being brought up to the surface. For countermeasures, we developed an extensive material testing procedures and applied it into our existing bridges. We believe that these set of newly constructed procedures are well within the reasonable mark. With that, we now foresee the necessity in systematic improvement and ample supply of its technology in order to secure the future safety of PSC box girder bridges.

We have studied the optimum location of the sensor to evaluate the condition of the structure by performing the structural analysis on the landing pier. It is judged that it is appropriate to place the strain sensor of the landing pier at the upper part, the middle part and the upper part of the pile at 30% below the pile.

Background : Recently, many studies to seek for medicinal herb compounds from natural products have been attempted capable of being free from harmful side effects and reducing the economic burden. This study was conducted to investigate whether Morus alba L.(MAL) water extracts has a biological safety, and an inhibitory potential against the mutagenicity induced by cigarette smoke condensates(CSC). Methods and Results : MAL was extracted with 70% ethanol and the yield of the extract was 35.1%. The 70% ethanol MAL extract was fractionated sequentially by diethylether, chloroform, dichloromethane, and water, respectively. Crude MAL 70% ethanol extract itself and its solvent fractions did not show any mutagenic effect up to 1 mg/plate toward Salmonella typhimurium TA 98 with or without the microsomal S-9 mixture of liver metabolic activations. On the other hand, the crude MAL extract showed an inhibitory activity against the mutagenicity of CSC with S-9 mixture. Diethyl ether layer among five solvent fractions showed the highest inhibitory activity at the same dose. The inhibitory activity of diethyl ether layer was also increased dose-dependently and the inhibitory rate was about 97.1% at the concentration of 1 mg/plate. Conclusion : In this study, we concluded that all of the crude MAL 70% ethanol extract and its solvent layers are potentially safe for mutagenicity and the diethyl ether layer among the crude MAL 70% ethanol extract has an inhibitory effect against the mutagenicity of CSC.

There has been a growing interest in the seismic performance of existing structures. Have been enacted most of the evaluation criteria, there is a need for specific seismic performance evaluation methods and standardization of the dam. In the present study, we carried out the seismic performance evaluation of two of the concrete dam with different shape, for explaining the relationship of the dam of the shape and seismic safety.

This study results the shear capacity of a wall depending on the postion and reinforcement of the equipment opening using finite element analysis. Analysis results show that when the openings are placed in the corner, the shear capacity was reduced than in the center. and reinforcing with a steel sleeve can compensate for the reduced strength

Condition evaluation consists of visual inspection and durability assessment. Visual inspection has weakness such as subjectivity of inspector and qualitative evaluation. So, this study is fundamental research for realtime safety evaluation of landing pier based on safety inspection manual. This study is for safety assessment of pile safety and bearing capacity using realtime occurrence strain of pile.

In this study, quartile control chart method is tried to apply to determine limit values of existing dams of K-water’s instrumentation data for dam safety, show asymmetric distributed data, and the example of application is presented. The determined limit values of concrete stress meter and concrete non-stress meter by Shewhart method and quartile method show that the determined limit values by Shewhart method indicate that the majority of instrumentation are on abnormal condition, although the measured values are normal behavior. But, in case of the result of quartile method has such an error. Like this, it is judged that the determination of the limit values of dam instrumentation, show asymmetric and abnormal distributed data, by the quartile method is appropriate. Therefor The quartile method is applied to the determination of limit values of existing dam instrumentation of K-water.

본 연구는 지진이 발생할 경우 장대레일교량에 있어 레일과 상판 간의 종방향 상호작용에 미치는 영향을 검토하기 위한 것으로, 해 석모델에 여러 하중조합과 함께 지진하중을 적용함으로써 대상 철도교량 레일에서의 축방향 부가응력과 레일-상판 간 상대변위의 변화를 산 출하였다. 해석 결과, 본 연구 대상 철도교량의 경우 철도시설공단에서 제시하고 있는 표준응답스펙트럼을 적용할 때 레일부가응력은 대부분 의 하중조합에 대해 허용기준 내의 값을 보이고 있는 반면, 레일-상판 상대변위는 공단에서 제시하는 허용기준을 초과하고 있는 것으로 나타났 다. 따라서 레일-상판 상대변위가 레일부가응력에 비해 상대적으로 더 허용기준을 만족시키기 어렵다는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 아울러 고베 대 지진과 같은 큰 규모의 지진이 발생하면 레일부가응력과 레일-상판 상대변위는 허용기준을 충족시키지 못하므로 이에 대한 적절한 내진 대비 가 필요하다.
