Abstract

In this study, two kinds of smart accelerometers are investigated for the application of smart sensors to the structural health monitoring of infrastructures. Smart optical Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) type and Micro-Electo-Mechanical System (MEMS) type accelerometers are selected for this study and the high sensitive ICP type accelerometer is used for the reference sensor. Small size shaking table tests were performed with 3-story shear building model using random input ground motions. The output only modal identification was carried out using stochastic subspace identification and the performances of sensors are compared in modal domain indirectly. The modal sensitivity method was applied to update the story stiffness of numerical model and the updated results were verified using the additional experiments for the same structure with additional mass.

이 연구에서는 최근 사회기반시설물의 스마트 모니터링을 위하여 많은 관심을 받고 있는 광섬유 FBG형 가속도계와 MEMS형 가속도계의 적용성을 평가하고자 하였다. 이들의 성능을 비교하기 위하여 저주파수 영역에서 높은 민감도와 신뢰성을 가지고 있는 ICP형 가속도계를 스마트 센서와 동시에 모형구조물에 부착하여 소규모 진동대 실험을 수행하였으며, 계측된 응답을 이용하여 모드해석을 수행함으로써 간접적으로 계측자료의 신뢰성을 비교하였다. 계측자료로부터 구한 모드자료를 이용하여 진단빌딩의 층간 강성을 추정하였다. 추정된 강성의 신뢰성을 검증하기 위하여 기지의 질량을 추가하여 구조물의 특성을 변경시킨 후, 다시 진동대 실험을 수행하여 구한 실험모드해석 결과를 수치해석결과와 비교하였다.
