최근 교량 및 발전구조물, 고층빌딩과 같은 대형 사회기반시설물의 유지관리를 위한 스마트 계측 및 모니터링 기술에 관한 관심과 연구개발 및 적용사례가 증가하고 있다. 특히 국내에서는 과거 '한강의 기적'이라 일컬어지는 초고속 경제성장과정에서 교량, 터널, 항만, 공항, 발전소, 댐 등 대형 사회기반시설물의 건설이 급증하였으나, 설계 당시에 고려되지 못하였던 각종 하중 조건과 환경 요인으로 인해 구조 건전성(structural integrity)의 저하가 일어나고 있다. 또한 최근 도서생활권의 향상 및 물류비용의 개선, 고속전철사업 등으로 인한 장대 교량의 건설, 효율적 국토이용을 위한 초고층빌딩의 건설, 석유자원의 고갈에 대비한 다양한 형태의 발전구조물의 건설 등이 증가하고 있으며, 이들 사회기반시설물의 유지관리를 위한 스마트 계측 및 모니터링 시스템이 더욱 중요해지고 있다.

FBG sensors are mainly used to measure deformation of structures such as tunnels, bridges and ships. In this paper, an interrogator of FBG sensors is developed and implemented to measure the status of structures. A developed interrogator includes CAN wired and Zigbee wireless communication for remote monitoring. Strain of structure is measured using shift of wavelength of reflected light from FBG sensor. A digital signal controller is used to process signals of a FBG sensor and transmit data for remote monitoring. As a result of experiment, developed interrogator is effective to measure deformation of structures.

In this paper, a research was performed to develop a wireless measurement system for bridge monitoring using MEMS sensor and bluetooth wireless communication module. First, in order to prove the suitability of MEMS sensor for the bridge measurement, its ranges of measuring acceleration and of frequency response were experimented. Also, the quality of wireless communication was tested by an experiment on long-distance communication for the knowledge of maximum communication distance, and also by an experiment on the data transmit-receive capability both inside and outside of a steel box bridge. Later, placing the wireless acceleration sensor system that had been developed in our lab on a bridge in public service, we acquired vibration data from the bridge under traffic load and analyzed its dynamic characteristics in realtime. For the analysis of the data, NExT & ERA algorithm were employed. The result of analysis was compared to the FE analysis of the same bridge, and the comparison made it possible to evaluate the performance of wireless acceleration sensor system. As a result, it was proven that the wireless acceleration sensor system developed with the use of MEMS sensor and bluetooth wireless communication module could be effectively applied to the measurement of structure whose vibration feature was low frequency like a bridge.

2006년 서해대교 추돌사고에서 볼 수 있듯이, 장대교량과 같은 대형 구조물의 경우에는 육로와의 접근성 문제 등으로 인하여 보다 철저한 이용자 안전에 대한 대책이 수립되어야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 장대교량을 이용하는 차량과 사람의 안전 확보를 위하여 교량의 노면 상태, 기상 상황, 사고 발생 상황 등과 같은 다양한 위험 정보를 수집 및 전송하여 교량의 안전을 실시간으로 관리 할 수 있는 ISB(Intelligent Safety Bridge) Pole 시스템 개발을 제안하고자 한다. ISB Pole 시스템은 교량 안전을 위하여 가장 우선시되는 u-Safety 센서와 신뢰성 향상을 위하여 이중화 통신구조를 지닌 게이트웨이를 Pole에 설치하여 실시간으로 교량의 교통 상황을 모니터링 한다. 뿐만 아니라, 수집된 정보를 통해 교량 안전관리자가 손쉽게 사고 및 위험에 대응할 수 있도록 교량의 각 구간에 위험지수를 표시할 수 있는 u-Safety 복합안전관리 프로그램을 개발한다. 이와같은 ISB Pole 시스템은 실제 교량에 다양한 현장실험을 진행함으로써 시스템의 안정성을 높이고, 인터페이스를 단일화하여 교량의다른 IT 시설물과도 통합이 가능한 형태로 제작되어 교량의 안전도 향상에 크게 기여할 것이다.

Recently, the span length of long-span bridges is getting longer. As a result, it has been suggested that a new concept called 'super long-span bridge'. In case of super long span bridges, the structure is being complicated and the importance of structural stability is being emphasized. However, until recently, the most commonly used sensors (dual axis clinometer, anemometer, strain gauge, etc.) have got limit about the bridge monitoring. Consequently, we researched the application of a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) to improve the limit of the existing sensors. In this study, the dual axis clinometer, the anemometer and the strain gauge together with the GNSS were used to analyze the behavior of a super-long suspension bridge. Also, we propose the detailed method of bridge monitoring using the GNSS. This study consisted of three steps. First step calculated the absolute coordinates of the towers and the longitudinal axis direction of the study bridge using the GNSS. In second step, through the analysis of the long-term behavior in shortly after construction, we calculated the permanent displacement and evaluated the stability of main towers. Third step analyzed the behavior of bridge by the wind direction and was numerically indicated. Consequently, the bridge measurement using the GNSS appeared that the acquired data is able to easy processing according to the analysis purpose. If we will use together the existing measurement sensors with the GNSS on the maintenance of the super long-span bridge, we figure each error of measurement data and improve the monitoring system through calibration. As a result, we acquire the accurate displacement of bridge and figure the behavior of bridge. Consequently, we identified that it is able to construct the effective monitoring system.

서해대교가 건설중인 아산만은 세계적으로 조수간만의 차가 크기로 유명한 곳이며 해저지반 또한 실트질이나 풍화토로 이루어져 세굴에 취약한 지형이다. 더욱이 아산만의 개발 및 공사중 축조된 축도로 인한 통수단면적의 감소로 실제 유속이 2.7㎧에 이르고 있다. 이러한 유속의 증가는 조석의 왕복운동과 함께 교량세굴을 촉진하였고 교량의 안전을 위해 세굴의 추이를 면밀히 검토할 필요가 대두되었다. (중략)

Stay-cable is one of the most important load carrying members in cable-stayed bridges. Monitoring structural integrity of stay-cables is crucial for evaluating the structural condition of the cable-stayed bridge. For stay-cables, tension and damping ratio are estimated based on modal properties as a measure of structural integrity. Since the monitoring system continuously measures the vibration for the long-term period, data acquisition systems should be stable and power-efficiency as the hardware system. In addition, massive signals from the data acquisition systems are continuously generated, so that automated analysis system should be indispensable. In order to fulfill these purpose simultaneously, this study presents an autonomous cable monitoring system based on domain-knowledge using IoT for continuous cable monitoring systems of cable-stayed bridges. An IoT system was developed to provide effective and power-efficient data acquisition and on-board processing capability for Edge-computing. Automated peak-picking algorithm using domain knowledge was embedded to the IoT system in order to analyze massive data from continuous monitoring automatically and reliably. To evaluate its operational performance in real fields, the developed autonomous monitoring system has been installed on a cable-stayed bridge in Korea. The operational performance are confirmed and validated by comparing with the existing system in terms of data transmission rates, accuracy and efficiency of tension estimation.

Recently, disasters caused by extreme weather and the damage caused by them are increasing worldwide. The interest in disasters, such as earthquakes, typhoons, and ground subsidence, is increasing in Korea. Korea has enacted a special law based on disaster management, and has built monitoring systems for individual facility units by building precision sensors and related systems to measure the displacement status of long bridges and high-rise composite buildings. On the other hand, the application of a real-time monitoring system is insufficient for slopes, open-pit mines, small and medium structures due to weather, measurement methods, cost, and constant monitoring difficulties. In this study, the displacement monitoring method using the total station was studied and the applicability was suggested through the experiment. Through the research, the concept and operation flow of a monitoring system that can measure the displacement of the terrain or the structure using the total station was presented. The monitoring system allows the user to select the location and operation method of the equipment so that the equipment can be installed according to the site situation, and set the number of observations, the period, and the observation range of the object. Using the experiment on the monitoring system, the station was monitored with precision within 5mm, and it was suggested that the displacement of the object can be monitored using the total station. Further research will be needed to assess the applicability of monitoring to real slopes and structures.
