Weight-bearing building materials are substantially weakened under high temperatures, and this is evident through the collapse of structures once engulfed by fire. Currently, there is no scientific or technological process of evaluating the real-time structural stability of a building whcih is engulfed by flame. There are many building design specifications which aim to reduce the risk of fire, but little consideration given to fire officer safety while operating in a dangerous building. This paper aims to provide direction within building policy in order to ensure the safe evacuation of fire-fighters in case of an impending building collapse. This paper suggests evaluation criteria for buildings which are damaged due to fire, autilizing current information on fire-resistant building design and a fire-resistant capacity.

대부분의 금속 재료는 제조 공정 중에 인장, 압축, 압연, 압출, 인발 등 소성 변형을 수반하는 가공의 단계를 거치게 된다. 가공 단계에서 가해준 변형률 및 이에 따라 형성된 전위구조 등은 생산재의 기계적 성질에 많은 영향을 미친다. 그리고 소성 변형이 수반되는 또 하나의 과정은 피로, 크리프 손상 등의 소성 변형을 수반하게 되는 기계적 손상이다 이러한 기계적 손상에 의해서도 전위가 도입되며, 전위의 집적부위에서 균열이 생성되기도 한다. 따라서 기계적 손상을 비파괴적으로 평가하는데 있어서도 소성 변형의 영향을 파악하는 것이 하나의 중요한 문제가 된다.(중략)

In this paper, the microwave absorbing characteristics after the impact of the radar-absorbing structure (RAS) consisting of periodic pattern sheet (PPS) and glass fiber-reinforced plastic (GFRP) were experimentally investigated. The fabricated RAS effectively absorbed the microwave in the X-band (8.2-12.4 GHz). In order to induce the damage to the RAS, a low-velocity impact test with various impact energy of 15, 40, and 60 J was conducted. Afterward, the impact damage was observed by using visual inspection, non-destructive test, and image processing method. Moreover, the absorbing performance of intact and damaged RAS was measured by the free-space measurement system. The experiment results revealed that the delamination damage from the impact energy of 15 J did not considerably affect the microwave absorbing performance of the RAS. However, fiber breakage and penetration damage with a relatively large damaged area were occuured when the impact energy was increased up to 40 J and 60 J, and these failures significantly degraded the microwave absorbing characteristics of the RAS.

This study is directed for the development of a computer aided safety assessment system for agricultural irrigation structures. The developed system is composed of four subsystems that incorporate database, structural analysis, safety assessment, and postprocess, which are made to be interfaced systematically. It is developed in the user-friendly menu driving form with pull-down type interaction on a personal computer. The main algorithm for safety assessment of deteriorated structures utilizes a rational rating system based on the reliability method. From this study, it may be stated that the proposed rating and safety assessment system provide an effective tool and thus it can be widely used in practice for the assessment of safety and load carrying capacity of existing deteriorated or damaged agricultural irrigation structures.

Brick wall models with window opening, length 1.844m $\times$ height 0.6m, representing 2-story building was constructed on a scale of 1/10 of actual size of brick building for the investigation of damage mechanism. Six settlement troughs presenting six stages of excavation were simulated by Peck(1969) and O'Rourke et al.(1976) methods. The results from the model tests using Peck(1969) and O'Rourke et al.(1976) method indicated that angular distortion of brick wall by O'Rourke et at. method was 21% greater than that of Peck method. Horizontal displacement by O'Rourke et al.(1976) was 24% greater than that of Peck. When the degree of building damage for the O'Rourke et al. method of settlement trough is plotted on the damage level graph(Boscardin & Cording, 1989), damage level becomes much more severe than the level obtained by peck's method. Also, building stiffness and soil-structure interface are considered important factors of expressing building damage.

The seismic fragility curves of a structure represents the probability of exceeding the prescribed structural damage given various levels of ground motion intensityand the seismic fragility curve is essential to evaluation of structural performance and assessment of risk and loss of structures. The purpose of this paper is to develop seismic fragility functions for bridge structures in Koreaby reviewing those of advanced countries. Therefore, at first, we investigated development conditions of the seismic fragility functions. And the next highway bridges in Korea are classified into a number of categories and several typical bridges are selected to estimate seismic fragilities for using this analysis method in Korea. Finally, fragility curves for PSC Box girder bridge are estimated. The results show that the bridge classification and damage state play an important role in estimation of seismic damage and seismic fragility analysis for bridge structures.

교량, 댐, 터널 등의 대형 구조물 및 항공기 등의 기계 구조물의 경우 그 중요성과 함께 노후화 및 손상의 발생에 의한 구조물의 사고를 미연에 방지하기 위해 효과적인 건전도 평가와 손상 검색에 대한 연구가 최근 급증하고 있으며 특히 압전소자를 활용하여 구조물의 손상을 추정하는 기법들이 많이 개발되고 있다. 또한, 최근에는 압전소자와 계측기 사이를 케이블을 이용하여 연결할 경우 실제 대형 구조물에 설치 시 비효율적인 부분이 많아 무선 기반 계측시스템이 개발되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 무선 계측 시스템의 경우 압전소자의 가진 및 계측되는 데이터의 전송을 위해 별도의 전원공급이 필요하기 때문에 배터리가 포함되도록 구성되며 이럴 경우 그 수명이 제한적이기 때문에 실제 구조물에 활용 시 문제로 제기되고 있다. 이러한 배경에서 본 연구에서는 레이저를 통해 원격지의 압전소자에 무선으로 전원을 공급하여 가진시키는 시스템을 제안하였다. 압전소자를 가진시키고자 하는 임의의 파형으로 레이저를 변조(modulation)시키고 대기 중으로 전송하여, 압전소자와 연결된 광검출기(photodiode)를 통해 전기적 신호로 변환하여 최종적으로 가진시키게 된다. 이러한 시스템을 실내 실험을 통하여 구현하였으며 그 효용성을 살펴보았다.

In this study the relative dynamic modulus and surface rebound hardness measurement methods were used for comparison to predict the occurrence of frost dam age on the concrete. From the test results, it was observed that the initiation of concrete dam age predicted by surface rebound hardness values was 200 cycles quicker than that of the relative dynamic modulus method in the W/C 70 specimens. In addition, it continuously provided data that showed the frost damage development of concrete surfaces according to increasing freeze-thaw cycles. This indicated that the frost dam age of the concrete could be found from the initial point of its occurrence by the surface rebound hardness measurement method. Similar results were also observed in W/C 60 and 50 specimens. Therefore, it is considered that surface rebound hardness method predicted the freeze-thaw damage well, regardless of water-cement ratio.
