Structural damage is used to be modeled through reductions in the stiffness of structural elements for the purpose of damage estimation of structural system. In this study, the concept of joint damage is employed for more realistic damage assessment of a steel structure. The joint damage is estimated damage based on the mode shape informations using neural networks, The beam-to-column connection in a steel frame structure is represented by a rotational spring at the fixed end of a beam element. The severity of joint damage is defined as the reduction ratio of the connection stiffness with respect to the value of the intact joint. The concept of the substructural identification is used for the localized damage assessment in a large structure. The feasibility of the proposed method is examined using an example with simulated data. It has been found that the joint damages can be reasonably estimated for the case with the measurements of the mode vectors subjected to noise.

How to efficiently and accurately detect the damages generated in a structure has become an important issue for structural health monitoring (SHM). Most existing SHM techniques require the baseline data which should be measured before a structure get damaged. Thus, this paper presents a new pitch-catch method-based SHM technique which will not require the baseline data any more. In the proposed SHM technique, the imaging method is also utilized to visualize damage locations. The proposed SHM technique is then validated through the damage detection texts for damaged aluminum plates.

This study deals with a method to identify structural damage using the combined finite element method (FEM) and the advanced damage search technique. The novelty of this study is the application of plates with arbitrary damage shapes and their response due to the anomalies in a structure subjected to impact loading. The technique described in this paper may allow us not only to detect the stiffness distribution of the damaged areas but also to find locations and the extent of damage. To demonstrate the feasibility of the method, the algorithm is applied to a steel thin plate structures with an arbitrary damage shape. The results demonstrate the excellencies of the method from the standpoints of computation efficiency as well as its ability to investigate the arbitrary stiffness reductions.

Performance degradation of concrete structures is generally caused by structural deteriorations, such as cracks. It may result in serious defects of concrete structures. Methods of damage detection are used a visual angle of human or non-destructive test, and they are using various sensors. Problems of crack damage detection are occurred to directions of cracks by using 1 axial type of accelerometer in concrete element. In addition, these sensors are not used to occurring fire in RC building. Thermocouple sensors are able to using measurement of temperature in fire, and then deformations of main element and structures are not used. In this study, fundamental studies for development of multiple function sensor using 3 axial type of accelerometer and electric resistance property of thermocouple sensors are discussed estimation to stability of structures when happened form active load or fire, and so on.

This study is to investigate the damage assessment of adjacent structures due to tunneling in urban environment. Model tests were carried out with two-story masonry building structures in various shapes and locations. The damage level of adjacent structures were very differently estimated in accordance with the shape ratio (L/h) of structures, construction stages, and various locations. The results of model tests were plotted on the damage level graphs in order to predict the direction of damage levels for the different types of structures (i.e. stiffness of structures, L/h). The progressive crack development mechanism at various construction stages was revealed through model tests and crack size indicated more conservative side of damage level on the damage level graph.

항공기 운항 중에 손상된 부품의 교환이나 수리는 항공기 운항 시 안전 유지와 고가의 항공기 수명연장을 위하여 필수적이다. 여러 가지 손상이나 고장 중에서 균열은 기계적 체결요소(리벳, 볼트 등)나 패칭에 의하여 효과적으로 보수될 수 있다. 항공기 동체 보수 시 접착제 접합을 사용한 복합재료 패칭은 하부구조에 손상이 없이 균열진전을 줄일 수 있고 구멍의 생성으로 인한 응력 집중을 제거할 수 있으며 접합된 면을 외부로부터 차단시켜 부식을 방지하는 효과가 있어 많이 사용된다 특히 고강도 복합재료와 접착제의 개발로 인하여 손상된 구조의 보수를 위한 복합재료 패칭의 사용은 더욱 증가되고 있다.(중략)

This study investigates the relationship between the damage patterns and structural performance levels of a multi-strand 7-wire strand that is used as an important member of stay cables. Stay cables are continuously damaged after completion, and corrosion is the main cause. However, it is difficult to check the damage pattern inside the cable due to its structural characteristics, and it is difficult to evaluate the degradation level of the damage quantitatively. This study derives the relationship between the damage pattern and the performance level of the stranded wire by comparing results and analyzing them through an indoor experiment and finite element analysis. In order to simulate the damage of a 7-wire strand, artificial damage was applied by mechanical precision machining to perform a performance evaluation. The results of the analysis show that regardless of the damage size of the strand, the structural performance deteriorated immediately after the damage. It was experimentally and analytically deduced that the type and amount of damage should be considered as a parameter for evaluating the performance level of the strand. This information can be used for the safety management of a cable stayed bridge by constructing a database according to the pattern and amount of damage.

The fixed ends beam is analyzed by the s d 0 f system with the rigid-plastic model. And the safety criteria of the fixed ends beam to the Impulsive loads are established with the peak-load ratio to the static collapse load and impulse ratio to the ideal impulse producing the critical displacement. It is shown that the impulse and the peak-load of the impulsive loads are the important factors for the damage of the structures. It is also shown that the damage curves with the peak-load and impulse ratio are useful method to estimate the damage of the structures due to the emphasis on the equivalent dynamic loads rather than the equivalent static loads in the process of deriving the curve.

댐의 중요 구성요소 중 하나인 여수로 구조물은 관행적으로 단위길이당 100m³/s 정도의 유량이 흐를 수 있도록 설계를 하고, 이를 초과할 때는 여수로 구조물에 피해가 가지 않도록 공기혼입 장치를 설치하거나 콘크리트의 설계강도를 증가시키는 대책을 사용하는 것이 일반적이다(댐설계 기준·해설, 2011) 그러나 건설된 지 오래된 댐의 경우 여수로 콘크리트 구조물의 설계강도가 낮고(최저 16.7MPa) 수문방류 횟수가 많아 최근에 건설된 댐 여수로 보다 상대적으로 많은 손상이 발생되어 있어 잦은 보수보강이 요구되고, 점차 유지관리 비용이 증대되고 있어 노후된 여수로 구조물일수록 기능을 유지하면서도 유지관리 비용을 절감할 수 있는 방안의 수립이 요구되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 𐩒𐩒𐩒댐 여수로를 대상으로 2020년 홍수기 전·후의 여수로 바닥슬래브의 손상상태를 3D드론 매핑, 육안조사 및 내구성 조사결과 등을 이용한 정밀분석을 통해 수문방류시 여수로 바닥슬래브에 가장 큰 손상을 일으키는 손상메커니즘으로 유수에 의한 부상(uplift)에 의한 파손 메커니즘(Flow-driven uplift failure mechanism)을 제시하였으며, 여수로 바닥슬래브의 가장 일반적 손상원인으로 간주되고 있는 공동현상(cavitation)이 공동지수(cavitation index)가 0.3이상인 경우에도 발생할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 관찰 및 분석결과는 보다 많은 사례를 통하여 보완될 경우 향후 여수로 구조물의 설계 뿐만 아니라 보수보강 방법이나 유지관리, 더나아가서는 종합적 댐시설물 자산관리 계획을 수립하는데 매우 유용한 자산이 될 수 있다.

The blast damage behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) structures exposed to unexpected extreme loading was investigated. To enhance the accuracy of numerical simulation for blast loading on RC structures with seven blast points, the calculation of blast loads using the Euler-flux-corrected-transport method, the proposed Euler-Lagrange coupling method for fluid-structure interaction, and the concrete dynamic damage constitutive model including the strain rate-dependent strength and failure models was implemented in the ANSYS-AUTODYN solver. In the analysis results, in the case of 20 kg TNT, only the slab member at three blast points showed moderate and light damage. In the case of 100 kg TNT, the slab and girder members at three blast points showed moderate damage, while the slab member at two blast points showed severe damage.
