A complex seismic survey, which is nondestructive inspection, is used often recently in estimating the location of reclaimed cultural assets. Such a method is the best way to estimate the location of cultural assets most effectively in a short time at a construction site. This study estimated the reclamation location of a cultural asset by using magnetic gradient survey, earth resistivity survey, and ground penetrating radar survey (GPR) in order to figure out the distribution territory in the area with possibility of creation of reclaimed cultural assets in the past. As a result, it was located at +15m on the X axis and +90m on the Y axis on the floor plane coordinate of the study target area. It was shown that the major axis is about 20m long in the north-northeast direction and the width is about 5m. The depth of development distribution of anomaly zone was estimated as about 1.5~3.0m. Geophysical survey is expected to be used as a efficient and accurate way to excavate the reclaimed cultural assets in future.

Concrete is deformed by load and subjected to micro damage under allowable deformation because of non-homogeneous property. When micro damage is accumulated, it is cracked and finally fractured. Characterization of AE can be demonstrated the micro damage which it is not discovered from visual observation, and it become known to an advantage that was clearly discriminated from the existing NDT method. This study was carried out the analysis and evaluation of concrete damage by acoustic emission technique. As a results of damage analysis, it was found out that the more concrete strength has increased, the more concrete has subjected to micro damage at lower stress ratio for chylinder specimen, and this is possible only AE method which could be described the brittle properties. Also it was revealed that the kaiser effect and felicity effect were existed in reinforced concrete bending specimens and it is found out that the onset of interface debonding between concrete and steel could be conformed in comparison with felicity ratio, AE activity and load history. From the results of this study, it was conformed that the deteriorative degree of reinforced concrete structure should be evaluated using felicity ratios.

최근 건설기술의 발전과 함께 강재 케이블을 이용하는 시설물의 시공이 점점 증가하는 추세이다. 특히 현수교, 사장교와 같은 초장대 교량에 사용되는 케이블은 주거더 및 상판에 의한 하중의 대부분을 지지하는 핵심부재이다. 하지만 이러한 케이블 부재는 부식, 파단 등으로 인한 단면손실이 발생할 수 있고, 이로 인한 손상부의 응력집중으로 인해 시설물 전체의 붕괴로 이어질 수 있는 위험성을 가진다. 따라서 조기에 단면손실을 찾아 사고를 미연에 방지할 수 있는 강재 케이블 비파괴 검사 기술기반의 건전성 모니터링이 필수적이다. 이러한 효율적인 건전성 모니터링을 위해 스마트 센서를 활용한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있는데, 그중 대표적인 스마트 센서중 하나인 마그네틱 센서는 높은 신뢰도와 어디에나 적용 가능한 재현성 때문에 구조물 건전성 평가에 적용하기 유용한 기술로 그 적용범위가 선박, 항공등으로 점점 넓어지고 있는 추세이다. 마그네틱 센서는 그 적용대상에 따라 다양한 마그네틱 특성을 활용할 수 있는데, 최근에는 투자율 계측을 통해 케이블의 장력 측정이 가능한 Elasto-Magnetic 센서(E/M 센서)가 개발되었고 그 활용성에 대한 연구가 이뤄지고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 E/M 센서를 이용한 강재 케이블 모니터링 기술을 제안하고자 한다. E/M 센서는 본래 케이블의 장력측정을 위해 개발되었지만 본 연구에서는 강재 케이블 부재의 단면손실 검색을 위해 적용하였다. 제안된 기술의 실험적 검증을 위해 E/M 센서를 이용하여 4가지의 다른 직경을 가지는 강봉시편을 E/M 센서헤드의 1차 코일을 통해 자화시키고, 각각의 직경에서 출력전압을 2차 코일을 이용하여 계측하였다. 그 결과 강봉의 직경이 감소함에 따라 출력 전압이 감소함을 보였다. 반복실험을 통해 해상도 및 선형성이 확보되는 최적의 입력전압과 출력전압의 워킹포인트를 선정하였고, 선정된 조건에서 강봉시편을 일정 간격으로 스캔한 결과 단면감소에 따른 선형적인 출력전압 감소와 동시에 단면 변화 지점에서는 추세선에서 크게 벗어난 출력전압 계측값을 나타내었다. 본 실험을 통해 제안된 E/M 센서를 이용한 강재 케이블 모니터링 기술의 유용성 및 적용가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

One of the serious problems that make the flaw identification in a multi-layered thick composite panel more difficult is the interferenceeffect of the upper layer. To take care of such a problem, here we propose an image enhancement approach that can get rid of such an interference effect to ultrasonic C-scan images by a normalization of the acquired signals by a reference signals, and demonstrate its performance in the experiments. Specifically, three specimens with artificial flaws are prepared and ultrasonic C-scan images are acquired experimentally to eliminate the undesired interference effect. Cleat successes are observed in the present study demonstrating the high potential of the proposed algorithm as a practical image enhancement tool in many practical situations.

As recieved boiler tuve steel was aged artificially at $650^{\circ}C$ and$690^{\circ}C$ for various time duration to simulate the material deterioration which could be occurred during the operation of fossiol power plants. And the tensile tests, the microhardness tests and the characterization of carbides formed in the aging process were performed to asses the relationship between the mechanical properties and the effect of thermal aging. Furthernore, the amout of Mo-rich carbide were investigated by ondestructive method by noticing the fact that formation of Mo-rich carbide were investigated by ondestructive melthod by noticing the fact that formation of Mo-rich carbides($Mo_6C$) which stabilizes lastly affects the mechanical properties. It was known that the microhardness results of service exposed materials were similar to the ones which are aged at $650^{\circ}C$. The room temperature measurement showed small variation in the yield points and ultimate strength in materials aged at $650^{\circ}C$. Those properties at $540^{\circ}C$ showed the abrupt decrease compared with as received material even if short aging time. And it was found that $650^{\circ}C$ $690^{\circ}C$ aging cause different effects on mechanical properties, although the temperature time parameters(LMP;Larson-Miller parameter) are same. And it was concluded that the aigng at $650^{\circ}C$ is more appropriate to simulate the service exposed condition. Finally, the relationship between high temperature tensile properties and Ip values were established, which offers a potential way of reliability tests onthe power plant components.

An imaging method of seismic sources using time-reversal wave propagation is presented. The method is based on the time-reversal invariance and the spatial reciprocity of the wave equation. Time-reversal wave propagation has been used to image anomalous features of a midium in medical imaging, non destructive testing and waveform tomography. Seismogram is the record whose energy is propagated from the seismic source. If time-reversed seismogram propagates back into the medium, seismic energy is concentrated at the origin time of the event and at the source location. In this work, a staggered-grid finite-difference method of the elastic wave equation is parallelized for 3-D wave propagation simulation. With numerical experiments, we show that the time-reversal imaging will enable us to explore the spatio-temporal history of complex earthquake.

The characteristics of microwave reflectometry, which is based on the technologies of FM radar and is applied as a non-invasive method to examine the properties including density distribution of inhomogeneous media, is investigated. The microwave reflectometry system requires not only an optimized system hardware but as well as the understanding of system response from the media under test in order to provide the system solution describing the object under test quantitatively. The introduction of microwave reflectometry especially in the area of applied plasma physics has been relatively new and the number of usage is found to be increasing gradually. The experimental method to characterize the microwave system as a device to examine the properties of plasma is explained. The microwave reflectometry signals consist of the cutoff signals which originate from the region where most of the reflected power comes from and the scattered signals which result as an interaction of the microwave and the density perturbations. This paper describes the experimental results of the scattered signal from the microwave reflectometry, such as the wavenumber dependence and the sensitivity on density perturbation, and the comparison of the characteristics with those from the numerical simulations and those from the cutoff signals.

A series of experimental work has been conducted to evaluate the capability of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system in detecting delamination inside concrete. Three antenna at 900 MHz, 1000 MHz, and 1500 MHz frequency are used in the experiments for laboratory size specimens, and 400 MHz antenna has been used for a large size specimen. The laboratory size specimens have the dimensions of 1,000 mm (length) ${\times}$ 600 mm (width) ${\times}$ 140 mm (thickness) with a delamination of 200 mm (length) ${\times}$ 600 mm (width) ${\times}$ 140 mm (thickness). The cover depth of the delamination is varied as follows: 20 mm, 30 mm, 60 mm, and 70 mm. In all cases, the delamination has been successfully identified. The property of three frequencies was seized about detecting delamination. Also, it was shown that the image results in GPR were improved by signal processing.
