This study is about the method to control the quality of material used to repair leakage and crack of concrete structure and suggests the "Temperature Stability Test Method" as a follow-up study. In the result of performance evaluation for 45 samples of 15 types in 5 series, the temperature stability test showed different material changes including rolling down, volume change, and color change as they are frozen and melt repeatedly in the somewhat extreme conditions at low($-20^{\circ}C$) and high($60^{\circ}C$) temperatures, where 13 samples (approx. 29%) and 32 samples (approx. 71%) showed leakage, respectively, in the permeability test to evaluate leakage. This result shows the enough importance of setting the quality control criteria of leakage repair material currently used to maintain concrete structures considering the temperature conditions, and proves the applicability of the Temperature Stability Test Method as a standard test method to ensure long-term durability of concrete structure.

It has been established that a crack has an important effect on the dynamic behavior of a structure. This effect depends mainly on the location and depth of the crack. To identify the location and depth of a crack in a structure. Nikolakopoulos et. al. used the intersection point of the superposed contours that correspond to the eigenfrequency caused by the crack presence. However the intersecting point of the superposed contours is not only difficult to find but also incorrect to calculate. A method is presented in this paper which uses optimization technique for the location and depth of the crack. The basic idea is to find parameters which use the structural eigenfrequencies on crack depth and location and optimization algorithm. With finite element model of the structure to calculate eigenfrequencies, it is possible to formulate the inverse problem in optimization format. Method of optimization is augmented lagrange multiplier method and search direction method is BFGS variable metric method and one dimensional search method is polynomial interpolation.

Improvements in the quality of life have resulted in a heightened awareness of safety and the environment. As a result, timber as an environmentally friendly material, is used for landscape facilities and a wide range of purposes. But there are a large number of defects since there are twists and cracks that can be found in wooden landscape facilities. This has led to the use of imported hardwood instead of the Western Hemlock which has been in widespread use. Hardwood is expensive. However, it is being used without any information or research on how much it reduces the actual defects. Construction contractors are in great need of information on the characteristics and defect rates of different types of timber. This study investigated and analyzed the cracks in four types of timber - namely the Western Hemlock, Burckella, Nyatoh and Malas - in order to provide basic information to construction contractor for them to be able to select and use the appropriate type of timber. The main results of this study are as follows. First, the Western Hemlock had 1.90 $cracks/m^2$, Malas had 0.83 $cracks/m^2$, Burckella had 0.14 $cracks/m^2$, and the Nyatoh had the least number of surface defects at 0.04 $cracks/m^2$. Second, while Malas has the highest degree of strength timber, Nyatoh had the smallest defect rate. This showed that having high timber strength does not necessarily mean it has less defects. Third, the Western Hemlock was the least expensive and Burckella was the most expensive. However, considering the cost of repairing defects, it would be economically advantageous to use Burckella and Nyatoh which have low defect rates. This study aimed to provide basic information to landscape construction contractors for them to be able to select and use the appropriate type of timber when constructing wooden outdoor rest furniture. The results are expected to contribute to quality enhancements and defect reduction in landscape facilities.

Engineering Geology를 필자는 지질공학(地質工學)이라 한다. 지질공학은 지반(地盤)의 토질 및 암석의 거동을 역학적인 관점에서의 지질역학(地質力學, Mechanical Geology)과 공학적 판단을 가하여 실제의 공사 등에 응용되는 기초학문이다. 이 분야에서의 중요 부분은 토목 시공 과정 또는 시공후에 발생할수 있는 지질적 문제(지질약선대의 문제 및 지질역학적 문제)등 에 대한 조사연구인 것이다. 따라서 지질공학자는 암반의 기계적인 응답에 대한 요소들을 지질도에 표시하여 시공상의 문제점을 검토, 연구하여 착공여부를 결정하고 지반보강 또는 지질개선을 실시케한다. 문제 중 지반의 거동은 물질 자체의 성질과 불연속성면에 있다. 물질자체의 성질은 입자의 크기에 있고 구조적 집합성에 있는 것이다. 불연속성면은 미세한 균열에서 거대한 단층면에 이르기까지 존재하며, 구조지질역학적 성격에 있다.

중트럭통행으로 인한 철근콘크리트 교량바닥판의 열화는 교량구조물을 유지보수하는데 있어서 심각한 문제중 하나이며, 프리캐스트 바닥판을 이용한 교량바닥판의 시공 및 교체 방법이 실용적이며, 효과적인 방법으로 인식되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 프리캐스트 바닥판 사이 연결부에 대한 정적실험을 수행하여 실험부재의 탄성영역 및 극한 상태하에서 프리캐스트 바닥판 사이 교축직각 방향 연결부의 강성 및 강도를 평가하였다. 정적실험결과, 무수측 모르나트를 채움재로 사용한 프리캐스트 바닥판 사이 교축방향 연결부는 교축방향으로 적정량의 프리스트레스를 도입함으로서 일반 현장타설 철근콘크리트 바닥판에 비해서 균열에 대한 사용성이 향상되는 것으로 나타났다.

This study proposes an algorithm for recognition of crack patterns, which includes horizontal, vertical, diagonal$(-45^{\circ})$, diagonal$(+45^{\circ})$, and random cracks, based on image processing technique and artificial neural network. A MATLAB code was developed for the proposed algorithm, and then numerical tests were performed on thirty-eight crack images to examine validity of the algorithm. Within the limited tests in the present study, the proposed algorithm was revealed as accurately recognizing the crack patterns when compared to those classified by a human expert.

A practical constitutive equation with sufficient generality is proposed for porous materials to deal with plastic pore compaction and pore related strain-hardening. With an application of this proposed model, finite element calculations are executed for the compaction of a porous material. Results show powerful potential of finite element method in a quantitative investigation of the process of the compaction. Special attention is given to the process of unloading during which the development of tensile principal stress may lead to phenomena such as lamination and end-capping.

This study proposes the integrity evaluation of the bogie frame using ultrasonic fractography analysis. Analysis objectives in this study are to investigate fracture planes of damaged zone by the A-scan method. The surface condition of fracture planes shows degree of degradation by the stress concentration. The detection of the natural defects in the bogie frame is performed using the characteristics of echodynamic pattern in ultrasonic signal. Results of ultrasonic testing agree fairly well with those of actual fracture plane. In quantitative fractography analysis, microstructures of actual fracture plane turned out to be intergranular and transgranular fracture. Proposed ultrasonic fractography analysis in this study can be used for the integrity evaluation of the bogie frame.

RFID/USN 개념은 필요한 모든 것(곳)에 RFID 태그를 부착하고 이를 통하여 기본적인 사물의 인식정보는 물론 주변의 환경정보(온도, 습도, 오염정보, 균열정보 등)까지 센싱하여 이를 실시간으로 네트워크에 연결하고, 그 정보를 관리하는 것을 의미한다. 정보통신부는 국민소득 2만 달러 달성을 위한 IT389 정책을 적극적으로 추진하고 있는 가운데 국가차원의 RFID/USN 구축 실행을 위한 마스터플랜을 수립하여 기술개발, 표준화, 정보보호, 산업 적용 및 시범서비스 등의 정책을 실행할 예정이다. 프라이버시 침해문제가 RFID 서비스에서 더욱 이슈화되고 있어 정보보호 문제는 RFID 산업활성화를 위해 반드시 해결하여야 하는 문제이다. 따라서 초경량 암호알고리즘 등 정보보호 핵심기술 확보, RFID/USN 정보보호 인프라 구축, RFID/USN 정보보호 법제도 정비 등 RFID/USN 정보보호정책 추진방안 수립이 필요한 시점이다.
