For a long time, evaluation of soundness and strength in concrete has been performed through ultrasonic velocity(UV), which is essential work in field assessment. Porosity in concrete is a major parameter indicating durability and strength, and UV passing concrete depends on porosity variation. In this paper, a modeling on UV through concrete is carried out considering porosity and the results are verified with those from test. Additionally UV in concrete under compression/tension loading condition is measured and UV modeling with loading condition is performed. Up to 50% of loading ratio, UV slightly increases and greatly drops at peak load in compression region, however it fluctuates in tensile region due to micro cracking in matrix. The proposed model shows a reasonable agreement with test results in control and compression region, and needs modification for tensile region considering micro cracks and local aggregate interlocking.

구조물 계측 및 유지관리에 포함되는 계측센서, 계측장비, 전산장비, 통신장비, 소프트웨어 등은 구조물 수명에 비해 비교적 짧은 내구수명을 가지기 때문에 공용 기간 중 지속적으로 교체/변경이 요구되고 있으며, 소프트웨어 또한 분석기술의 향상과 정보통신기술의 발전 등을 계속해서 반영해야 하므로 일정기간마다 모니터링시스템에 대한 업그레이드 작업이 요구되고 있다. 그러나, 기존에 개발된 시스템은 구조물 관리자에 의한 일부 하드웨어와 분석 알고리즘의 변경이나 업그레이드가 쉽지 않고 모니터링 시스템의 구축에 활용된 프로그램 내부구조 파악이 어려워 원 개발자의 지속적인 지원에 의존해야한다. 본 논문에서 제안된 모바일 클라우드 기반 구조물 유지관리계측 통합모니터링시스템에서는 구조계가 평상시나 특수한 상황에서 장 단기적으로 어떠한 거동을 보이고 있는지를 분석하고, 이를 토대로 향후의 거동이 어떻게 될지 예측하기 위해서 확률과 통계기법의 적용을 통해서 구할 수 있는 새로운 데이터 분석 기법을 적용하였으며, 모바일 클라우드 기반으로 데이터를 수집하고, 많은 데이터 양 및 데이터 신뢰도 수준에서 건전성평가를 할 수 있는 새로운 개념의 구조물 거동계측 통합모니터링시스템 설계로 기존의 단점을 해결할 수 있도록 개선하였다.

Turbine blades and disc, which are one of the most important rotating parts of a gas turbine engine, are required to have highly efficient performance in order to minimize the total life cycle costs. Owing to these requirements, these components are exposed to severe conditions such as extreme turbine inlet temperatures, high compression ratios, and high speeds. To evaluate the structural integrity of a turbine disc under these conditions, material modeling and finite element analysis techniques are essential; furthermore, shape optimization is necessary for determining the optimal solution. This study aims to generate 2D finite element models of an axisymmetry model and a sector one and to perform thermal-structural coupled-field analysis and contact analysis. Structurally vulnerable areas such as the disc bore and disc-blade interface region are analyzed by a parametric study. Finally, an improved design is provided based on the results, and the necessity of elaborate shape optimization is confirmed.

This study is intended to propose practical but systematic and rational approaches for proof load test and integrity assessment of segmental PC box-girder bridges. The proposed models cover the whole range of field tests and assessment of such as inspections, nondestructive tests, static and dynamic load tests, structural analysis, and integrity assessment for the evaluation of load carrying capacity, serviceability, and durability of PC box-girder bridges. They are applied to a newly constructed precast segmental PC box-girder bridge which is a part of the Seoul interior circuit elevated expressway.

대형 시스템의 건전성 평가를 위한 동적 재하시험에 있어서 변위를 측정하는 것보다 가속도를 측정하는 것이 수월하나 대부분의 공학적 기준은 응력과 비례관계를 지니는 변화를 기준으로 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 시스템의 재하시험시 측정된 가속도신호를 이용하여 변위응답을 산정하는데 그 목적을 두고 적분을 위한 신호처리시 발생되는 문제점을 정상상태 및 천이영역에 대하여 규명하였다. 기존의 연구에서 고려하지 못하였던 초기조건의 항을 도입함으로써 시간영역의 적분과 주파수영역의 적분결과가 일치함을 해석적으로 입증하였으며 이동하중을 받는 보의 동적거동에 대하여 제시된 타당성을 검증하였다.

This paper presents an efficient models for reinforeced concrete structures using CART-ANFIS(classification and regression tree-adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system). a fuzzy decision tree parttitions the input space of a data set into mutually exclusive regions, each of which is assigned a label, a value, or an action to characterize its data points. Fuzzy decision trees used for classification problems are often called fuzzy classification trees, and each terminal node contains a label that indicates the predicted class of a given feature vector. In the same vein, decision trees used for regression problems are often called fuzzy regression trees, and the terminal node labels may be constants or equations that specify the Predicted output value of a given input vector. Note that CART can select relevant inputs and do tree partitioning of the input space, while ANFIS refines the regression and makes it everywhere continuous and smooth. Thus it can be seen that CART and ANFIS are complementary and their combination constitutes a solid approach to fuzzy modeling.

In this study, an attempt is made to apply the concept of fuzzy-bayesian theory to the integrity assessment of RC highway bridge, and uncertainty states are represented in terms of fuzzy sets which define several linguistic variables such as "very good", "good", "average", "poor", "very poor", etc. Especially, the concept of fuzzy conditional probability aids to derive a new reliability analysis which includes the subjective assessment of engineers without introducing any additional correction factors. The fuzzy concept are also used as reliability indexes for the condition assessment based on the proposed models, the proposed fuzzy theory-based approach with the results of visual inspection and extensive field load tests are applied to the integrity assessment of a new RC highway bridge, namely, Jichok bridge.

Fissured rock and soft ground always suggest, problems in the construction of the underground space. The stress release of the weak underground material by opening the underground space with a soft ground, fissures and joints can lead to the failure of the opening. Grouting of the weak rock and the soft ground, which is a process of injecting some bonding agents into the soft ground, is one of the measures to reinforce the soft ground and to prohibit the failure of the underground construction due to the stress release. The proper installation of the grouting is essential to ensuring the safety of the tunneling operation, so that the evaluation of the grouting performance is very significant. The general procedure of evaluating the grouting is coring the grouted section and measuring the compression strength of the core. However, sometimes when the grouted section is at the crown of the tunnel and the grouting is installed at a wide section, the coring is not good enough. This study is oriented to propose a new and a non-destructive procedure of evaluating the grouting performance. The proposed method is based on the wave propagation of elastic waves, and evaluates the shear stiffness of the ground and investigates the anomalies such as voids and cracks. The SASW ( Spectral-Analysis-of-Surface-Waves) method is one of the candidate s to make the inspection of the pouting performance, and is adopted in this study. The practical grouting activity was monitored by SASW method, and the proposed method was applied to the inspection of the grouting performance to check the verification of the proposed method.

Recent years have witnessed a strong need for eco-friendly and energy-efficient systems owing to global environmental problems. A heat exchanger is a well-known mechanical rig that has long been used in many energy systems. The use of a heat exchanger in an airplane engine has been attempted. In this case, the heat exchanger should be redesigned to be compact, lightweight, and highly reliable, and the issue of mechanical integrity gains importance. Therefore, in this study, we proposed a method for evaluating the mechanical integrity of a tube-type heat exchanger. A U-shaped single tube was used as an example, and its behavior and stress distribution were studied using fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis.

As rock bolts become one of the main support systems in tunnels and underground structures, the integrity of the rock bolts affects the safety of these types of structures. The purpose of this study is the evaluation of rock bolt integrity using Fourier and wavelet transforms of the guided ultrasonic waves. After five rock bolt specimens with various defect ratios are embedded into a large scale concrete block, guided waves are generated by a PZT (lead zirconate titanate) element and measured by an acoustic emission (AE) sensor. The captured signals are analyzed in the frequency domain using the Fourier transform, and in the time-frequency domain using the wavelet transform based on a Gabor wavelet. The spectrum obtained from the Fourier transform shows that a portion of high frequency contents increases with increase in the defect ratio. Peak values in the time-frequency domain represent the interval of travel time of each echo. The energy velocities of the guided waves increase with the defect ratio. This study shows that the spectrum ratio and the energy velocity may be indicators fur the evaluation of rock bolt integrity.
