Driving tests using model plastic piles with different hammer cushion materials were performed in order to evaluate the efficiency of energy transfer ratio from the hammer, degree of vibration of the surrounding ground and noise due to impacting. A small pile driving analyzer (PDA) was composed using straingages and Hopkinson bar which is measuring force signal and pile-head velocity. The hammer cushion (cap block) materials used for the model driving tests were commercial Micarta, plywood, polyurethane, rubber (SBR) and silicone rubber. The highest energy transfer ratio was obtained from Micarta in the same soil and driving conditions. Micarta was followed by polyurethane, plywood, rubber and silicone in descending order. The more efficient energy transfdr ratio of the hammer cushion materials became, the bigger average noisy (sound) level was found. In addition, Micarta and polyurethane provided bigger bearing capacities than other materials compared in the same soil and driving conditions in which the static loading tests were performed at the end of driving.

Additive manufacturing (AM, also known as 3D printing) applied to the construction industry is implemented and verified for various effects since advantages such as high design freedom, improving worker safety, and predictable construction period. However, due to the low maturity compared to the existing technology, studies are underway to solve new problems that occur in the overall of AM technology. In this paper, we confirm the effect of low construction surface flatness on the stacked features in the process of on-site AM construction. In particular, unstable AM features are determined through quantitative analysis by laser scanning, and a construction strategy is proposed for the surface flattening.

현재 하천에서 유량을 측정하는 가장 일반적인 장비는 ADCP(Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler)이다. ADCP는 일정 수심이 확보되는 곳에서는 보트에 장착하여 효율적으로 정확한 유량을 측정하고 있다고 알려져 있다. ADCP의 활용성이 증가함에 따라 측정결과의 신뢰성을 표현하는 방법에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있으며, 프랑스에서는 해외 전문가들을 초청하여 동일한 현장에서 ADCP의 유량을 측정하고 해당 결과를 비교하여 ADCP의 측정정확도에 대한 분석을 수행하고자 하였고, 국내에서도 이와 동일한 방식으로 홍수통제소가 주관하여 국내 유량조사기관들의ADCP를 이용해 장비에 대한 검정과 측정유량에 대한 정확도를 확인하고자 하였다. 해당 방식은 장비들간의 측정결과를 이용하여 이상치를 나타내는 장비에 대해서는 검토가 가능하나, 측정결과에 어떠한 요인들이 측정정확도에 영향을 발생시키는지에 대한 분석을 하기 에는 한계점이 있다. ISO에서는 일반적으로 이루어지는 측정에 대하여 GUM 표준안을 기반으로 하여 측정불확도를 산정하도록 권장하고 있으며, 유량분야의 위원회인 TC 113에서도 GUM을 이용하도록 권장하고 있다(ISO 25377, 2020). 하지만 ADCP를 이용하여 유량을 계산하는 방식이 매우 복잡하고, 이를 GUM에 적용하여 유량측정의 불확도를 산정하기에는 복잡하고 많은 계산식이 필요하기 때문에 이를 계산할 수 있는 도구가 없다면 일반적인 측정자가 불확도를 산정하기에는 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 수행되었던 연구성과들을 종합하여 ADCP의 유량 측정불확도를 산정하는 과정을 프로그램화하고 쉽게 계산할 수 있도록 AQUA(ADCP discharge(Q) Uncertainty Assessment)라는 소프트웨어를 개발하였다. AQUA는 C#을 기반으로 국내에서 일반적으로 사용하고 있는 Sontek사와 TRDI사의 ADCP의 측정결과를 불러올 수 있도록 개발되었다. 해당 소프트웨어를 이용하여 다양한 사용자들이 사용하고 이를 통해 현재 개발된 소프트웨어의 사용성을 보완한다면, 실무에서도 쉽게 ADCP의 측정불확도를 산정할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

LiDAR is used in autonomous driving and various industrial fields to measure the size and distance of an object. In addition, the sensor also provides intensity images based on the amount of reflected light. This has a positive effect on sensor data processing by providing information on the shape of the object. LiDAR guarantees higher performance as the resolution increases but at an increased cost. These conditions also apply to LiDAR intensity images. Expensive equipment is essential to acquire high-resolution LiDAR intensity images. This study developed artificial intelligence to improve low-resolution LiDAR intensity images into high-resolution ones. Therefore, this study performed parameter analysis for the optimal super-resolution neural network model. The super-resolution algorithm was trained and verified using 2,500 LiDAR intensity images. As a result, the resolution of the intensity images were improved. These results can be applied to the autonomous driving field and help improve driving environment recognition and obstacle detection performance

It is known that the long-term behavior and performance of jointed concrete pavement due to slab curling are affected by the environmental factors such as temperature, moisture, and so on. However, any relationships between the curling and its factors have not been defined clearly yet because of insufficient detailed investigation. The temperature, relative humidity, strain, vertical displacement of a concrete slab, and horizontal movement of its transverse joints were investigated by various sensors and devices instrumented in the slab of a concrete pavement section constructed for this study. The constraint of the curling by joint stiffness was investigated in addition to effect of the temperature and moisture on the early aged concrete slab by analyzing the field data measured for approximately 4days from concrete placement. The curling of the concrete slab showed 24hour cycles mainly because of the temperature effect, and the upward curling gradually increased because of the long-term effect of drying shrinkage of the concrete. The magnitude and variation of the curling were significantly affected by the joint stiffness which is comprised of aggregate interlocking and other factors. The effect of the variation of the seasonal joint stiffness varying with the temperature and long-term drying shrinkage on the slab curling will be investigated as a further study.

The properties of fracture system on road-cut slopes along the Busan-Ulsan express way under construction are investigated and analyzed. Fracture spacing distributions show log-normal form with extension fractures and negative exponential form with shear fractures. Straight line segments in log-log plots of cumulative fracture length indicate a power-law scaling with exponents of -1.13 in site 1, -1.01 in site 2 and -1.52 in site 3. It is likely that the stability and strength of rock mass are the lowest in site 1 as judged from the analyses of spacing, density and inter-section of fractures in three sites. In contrast, the highest efficiency of the fracture network for conducting fluid flow is seen in site 3 where the largest cluster occupies 73% through the window map. Based on the field survey data, this study modified weighting values of the RMR system using a multiple regression analysis method. The analysis result suggests a modified weighting values of the RMR parameters as follows; 18 for the intact strength of rock; 61 for RQD; 2 for spacing of discontinuities; 2 for the condition of discontinuities; and 17 for ground water.

Rockbolts are the primary-supports in NATM tunnels and are widely used at tunnel construction sites. Among the rockbolts methods applied in domestic tunnel design, fully grouted rockbolts are the most representative and frequently used. Fully grouted rockbolts exhibit relative behavior between the bolt and the ground due to the grout material. However, during numerical analysis for tunnel design, fully grouted rockbolts are often modeled in a way that does not reflect their behavior characteristics. This may result in underestimating or overestimating the force of the supports. Based on a literature review, it was analyzed that fully grouted rockbolts are modeled using truss element or cable element. To analyze the effect of grout properties of cable elements on rockbolts behavior, this paper compared the behavior of rockbolts in two models: one estimating grout properties based on rockbolt pull-out test data, and another assuming complete adhesion between the rockbolts and the ground by applying large grout properties. Under identical tunnel conditions, the numerical analysis was conducted by modeling the fully grouted rockbolts differently using truss and cable elements, and the tunnel behavior was analyzed. The research results suggest that modeling fully grouted rockbolts as a function of the interface effect between the bolts and the ground, specifically considering grout, is desirable. The use of pull-out test data to simulate the behavior of actual fully grouted rockbolts was considered as a valid approach.

Length and the number of tunnels has increased 10% annually. Tunnel construction has positive effect in nature and driving condition. However, the structure of tunnels lead to a greater probability of major accidents. For this reason, tunnel is focusing its attention on the rapid incident handling and disaster management to build a tunnel management system in recently. In this study, tunnel management system adequacy analyzed in terms of operational safety using IPA and AHP analysis. IPA analysis results using the portfolio chart, incident management factors has a large gap between important and satisfaction. Disaster management is analyzed high ranking in priority. However, incident management factors are derived first priority in AHP analysis. This study determined that the results are meaningful to practitioners in the field is determined. In addition, practitioners comments should be reflected primarily for tunnel operational safely.
