The damage from the underground termite cannot be discovered with peculiar appearance of building but hollow phenomenon will occur. But there is no case in Korea as a non-destructive measurement of termite activation. Therefore, this research constructs non-destructive diagnostic techniques for wooden cultural properties using microwave detector (Termatrac, Australia). Result of maximun distance were measured 16cm (Pine tree, sensitivity 5, 6), 17cm (Zelkova and Douglas fir, sensitivity 5, 6). These results are expected that can be applied in the field. Result of field test using microwave detector, 33.8% of the wooden cultural properties were damaged by termites, and until now 7.8% (18 buildings) are being damaged in nationwide (total 231 buildings). Based on the above results, microwave detector will be able to be utilized effectively for detecting termite, preventing intrusion in wooden structure, and making full use of monitoring system periodically. In addition, it could be of great worth in preventing insect and microorganism in wooden structure.

Neural network-based signal classification systems are increasingly used in the analysis of large volumes of data obtained in NDE applications. Ultrasonic inspection methods on the other hand are commonly used in the nondestructive evaluation of welds to detect flaws. An important characteristic of ultrasonic inspection is the ability to identify the type of discontinuity that gives rise to a peculiar signal. Standard techniques rely on differences in individual A-scans to classify the signals. This paper proposes an ultrasonic signal classification technique based on the information tying in the neighboring signals. The approach is based on a 2-dimensional Fourier transform and the principal component analysis to generate a reduced dimensional feature vector for classification. Results of applying the technique to data obtained from the inspection of actual steel welds are presented.

응력파의 기반한 비파괴 검사법은 비교적 실험 절차 및 실험에 필요한 장비가 단순하고, 인체에 해가 없으며, 비용이 저렴한 특성을 갖고있다. 따라서 건축/토목 구조물의 비파괴 검사에 매우 효과적인 방법으로 알려져 있다. 하지만 기존의 가속도계, 변위계, 지오폰과 같은 부착 센서를 사용할 경우 표면 처리, 센서의 부착 및 이동에 따른 추가적인 시간이 소요되고, 센서와 구조물의 불완전한 커플링으로 인한 측정 결과의 신뢰성 및 일관성을 유지하지 어렵다는 문제를 발생시킨다. 최근 이러한 문제의 해결책으로 Air-coupled sensor (ACS)의 사용이 각광받고 있으며, 여러 연구자들에 의해 ACS의 가능성 및 실용성이 증명되고 있다. 기존의 접촉센서와 비교하여 ACS를 사용했을 때 얻을 수 있는 가장 큰 장점은 센서의 커플링 문제를 근본적으로 해결하여 신뢰도가 높고 일관적인 측정이 가능하고, 대형 건축/토목 구조물의 표면을 음향스캔하여 결과를 신속하게 처리하여 실시간으로 시각화 할 수 있다는 점이다. 이론적으로 ACS를 이용하여 측정하는 물리값은 콘크리트 내부에서 발생된 응력파의 일부가 공기중으로 전파된 누설파 (Leaky wave)이다. 콘크리트 비파괴 검사에 주로 사용하는 100 kHz이하의 저주파를 측정할 경우 일반적으로 콘텐서마이크가 ACS로 사용될 수 있다. 기존 연구자들은 실험 및 이론적 연구를 통하여 응력파에 기반한 비파괴 방법에서 ACS가 기존의 접촉 센서를 대체할 수 있다는 점을 보여주고 있다. 현재 미국에서는 연방 도로청 (FHWA) 및 국가표준기술연구소 (NIST)의 연구비 지원으로 ACS의 실용성을 높이기 위하여 최적화된 음향반사판의 설계를 통한 ACS 의 민감도를 높이기 위한 연구, 다채널 센서 배열 및 데이터 통합을 위한 새로운 알로리즘 개발, 자동화 및 로봇 기술과 융합과 같은 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 멀지 않은 미래에는 ACS를 장착한 무인 로봇이 다양한 종류의 건축/토목 구조물의 건전도를 평가하기 위하여 종횡무진 활약하는 모습을 현실 속에서 볼 수 있을 것이라 기대한다.

Enhancing mechanical strength of concrete has been fascinated using carbon-based nanomaterials such as CNT and graphene. The key to improving strength is a dispersion of nanomaterials. A novel method is required to investigate the dispersion inner concrete nondestructively. In this study, the optical optical properties such as refractive index and absorption coefficient are measured in nano-cement mortar specimens containing MWCNT and GO using THz electro-magnetic waves. From the results, the properties of nano-cement mortar are confirmed to be 1.0% to 2.5% higher in refractive index, and -14% to 28% higher in absorption coefficient than those of cement mortar at the average values. Using these characteristics, visualizing the dispersion of nano-concrete structures seems possible in future.

Developments of nondestructive evaluation techniques for reduction of strength or toughness by aging of material have been carried out, and the method using electrical resistivity is one of them. In this study, to examine the application of electrical resistivity to the evaluation of degradation of metallic alloy, ten different non-magnetic materials were selected as test materials. Electrical resistivities measured by DC two-point probe method and those measured by non-contact type eddy current method were compared with each other. In addition, to examine the application possibility of four-point probe technology in field, the electrical resistivities for 1Cr-lMo-0.25V steel measured by DC two-point probe method and four-point probe method were compared with each other Differences between two measured values for the 1Cr-1Mo-0.25V steel were 0.6%. Therefore, the four-point probe method can be applied to the estimation of the degradation of metallic alloy. ect.

[ $^{169}Yb$ ] industrial NDT sealed sources were developed by using $Yb_2O_3$ pellets as the target and demonstrated for their performance. To produce the pellets, optimal compacting and sintering conditions were determined experimentally. Source holders for $^{169}Yb$ were designed and fabricated. After assembling an active source produced from HANARO with the developed source holder, a demonstration experiment was performed to compare the quality of the radiographs from $^{192}Ir$ and soft X-rays. This demonstration study showed that the developed $^{169}Yb$ produced better radiographs than $^{192}Ir$ for a carbon steel with less than a 4 mm thickness.

In this study, an automated cable non-destructive testing(NDT) system was developed to monitor the steel cables that are a core component of cable-stayed bridges. The magnetic flux leakage(MFL) method, which is suitable for ferromagnetic continuum structures and has been verified in previous studies, was applied to the cable inspection. A multi-channel MFL sensor head was fabricated using hall sensors and permanent magnets. A wheel-based cable climbing robot was fabricated to improve the accessibility to the cables, and operating software was developed to monitor the MFL-based NDT research and control the climbing robot. Remote data transmission and robot control were realized by applying wireless LAN communication. Finally, the developed element techniques were integrated into an MFL-based cable NDT system, and the field applicability of this system was verified through a field test at Seohae Bridge, which is a typical cable-stayed bridge currently in operation.
