As carbon fibers have the high performance, such as high strength, light weight, and high corrosion resistance, they are gradually expanding and growing at various industries. In particular, this study was conducted to determine whether the market could be applied to street lanterns among the construction sectors expected to grow in scale. In this study, the material characteristics of street lanterns using carbon fiber composites were studied in order to determine whether carbon fiber composites could be applied as a substitute for stainless steel and cast iron street lanterns. The physical relationship was experimentally evaluated to obtain a suitable material through the comparison of physical properties of fiber composite materials.

The road luminaires are indispensable facilities for the safety of pedestrians and vehicles. However, foreign products have been used without any verification. In this study, the road luminaires for structural safety against wind load was evaluated through structural analysis. Results show that adequate safety is improved through strengthening inspection hole and use of circular arm.

가로등은 도로이용자가 안전하게 통행하기 위한 도로의 필수 시설물이지만 가로등은 도로의 부속 전기장치로 취급되어 왔다. 이러한 잘못된 인식 때문에 풍하중과 이에 대한 구조거동에 대한 연구들이 부족하여 풍하중에 충분한 안전성을 확보하지 못함에 따라 태풍 시 많은 가로등이 전도 또는 파손되는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 가로등 안전성을 기반으로 한 기존의 설계기준을 비교 검토하여 가로등주의 설치 여건에 적합한 개선된 설계기준을 제시하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 전도의 원인이 되는 점검구의 응력집중 현상을 분석하고 응력 저감 방안을 검토하였다.
