This study is to investigate the damage assessment of adjacent structures due to excavation in urban environment. Model tests were carried out for 2 story masonry building and frame 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. Therefore the most weak part (bay) of structure must be heavily instrumented and monitored in more details at early stage of constructions. 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.

신경망기법을 이용한 구조물접합부의 손상평가기법을 제안하였다. 신경망기법의 성능을 개선하기 위하여 노이즈첨가학습을 수행하였으며 효과적인 손상평가를 위하여 부분구조추정법 및 data perturbation scheme을 도입하였다. 10층 프레임구조물에 대한 수치해석과 2층 프레임구조물에 대한 실험연구를 통하여 제안기법을 검증하였다 계측지점이 부분구조로 제한되고 계측자료가 노이즈를 포함하는 경우에는 제안기법이 효과적으로 적용될수 있음을 알 수 있었으며 실험을 통하여 실제 구조물에 대한 제안기법의 적용성을 평가힐 수 있었다.

In this paper, the quantitative damage index for reinforced concrete (RC) columns with non-seismic details were presented. They are necessary to carry out the postearthquake safety evaluation of RC buildings under 5 stories without seismic details. The static cyclic test of the RC frame sub-assemblage that was an one span and actual-sized was first conducted. The specimen collapsed by the shear failure after flexural yielding of a column, lots of cracks on the surfaces of columns and beam-column joints and the cover concrete splitting at the bottom of columns occurred. The damage levels of these kinds of columns with non-seismic details were classified to five based on the load-displacement relationship by the test result. The residual story drift ratios and crack widths were then adapted as the quantitative index to evaluate the damage limit states because those values were comparatively easy to measure right after earthquakes. The highest one among the residual story drift ratios under the similar maximum story drift ratio decided on the residual story drift ratio of each damage limit state. On the other hand, the lowest and average ones among the respective residual shear and flexural widths under the similar maximum story drift ratio decided on the residual shear and flexural widths of each damage limit state, respectively. These values for each damage limit state resulted in being smaller than those by the international damage evaluation guidelines that are for seismically designed members under the same deformations.

A damage identification technique using static displacement data is developed to asses s the structural integrity of bridge structures.As such, the relationship between static displacement and stiffness is derived, and the optimization technique utilized.Comparisons with numerical and experimental tests are performed to investigate the practical applicability of the proposed method.Various damage scenarios are considered by varying damage-width as well as damage-degree. The influence of noise in identifying the damage is also numerically investigated.Finally, the applicability and limitation of the proposed method are discussed.

This paper deals with development of a damage risk assessment system for adjacent buildings to under-passing tunnel face considering 3D-ground movement. The system consists of building and ground information module, monitoring data module, settlement evaluation module, and building damage risk assessment module. The major modules, settlement evaluation module and building damage assessment module, are based on settlement estimation model suggested by Attewell et al (1982) and the building damage assessment method by Mair et al. (1996). After estimating 3D-ground movements due to tunneling with settlement evaluation module, damage assessment far buildings is performed using building damage risk assessment module. The developed system has two major functions; 1) calculation of 3D-settlement with ground loss ($V_{s}$)or maximum settlement ($w_{max}$) and inflection point (i) using various empirical formulae, monitoring data, numerical results, and so on; 2) assessment of damage risk for adjacent buildings of arbitrary section with position change of tunnel face. The field data given by Boscadin and Cording (1989) leer the case of two-storied masonry building near the Metro tunnel in Washington D.C. was simulated to verify the applicability of the developed system.

The quantitative risk assessment methods for thermal failure in targets were studied using fire modeling. To this end, Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS), as a representative fire model, was used and the probabilities related to thermal damage to an electrical cable were evaluated according to the change in fire area inside a specific compartment. 'The maximum probability of exceeding the damage thresholds' adopted in a conservative point of view and 'the probability of failure' including the time to damage were compared. The probability of failure suggested in the present study could evaluate the quantitative fire risk more realistically, compared to the maximum probability of exceeding the damage thresholds with the assumption that thermal damage occurred the instant the target reached its minimum failure criteria in terms of the surface temperature and heat flux.

종래의 발파진동의 분석은 주로 대상 지장물에 대한 피해한계를 정립시키고자 하는 관점에서 발파공에서 비교적 원거리의 진동특성을 이해하기 위해 수행되어져 왔으나, 최근의 추이는 발파공 주변 암반의 손상의 정도를 평가하고자 하는 관점에서 그 분석영역의 범위가 근거리 진동특성 연구분야로 확대되고 있는 실정이다. 특히, 터널 발파작업시 여굴의 발생, 암반사면의 안정성 검토 등의 목적으로 암반의 손상영역을 평가하는데 있어서, 기초자료로 활용하고자 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 암반손상의 평가를 위한 손상권 예측방법에는 여러 가지가 있으나, 그 중에서 대부분이 발파진동속도에 근거하고 있으며, 평가를 위한 진동의 예측은 기존에는 원거리 진동특성을 이용하여 근거리 진동을 예측하는 방법으로 그 손상의 정도를 평가하였으나, 최근의 추세는 계측기의 발달로 수m 이내의 진동특성의 계측이 가능하게 되었다. 이와 관련하여 국외에서는 수차례의 실험결과가 여러 문헌에서 보고되고 있으나, 실험장비의 선택 및 측정방법의 어려움 등의 연유로 국내에서는 아직까지 실시되지 못하고 있는 상황이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 실제 발파공 근접진동(near field vibration) 계측을 실시하고 그 결과를 분석하여 추후 지속적인 근거리 진동측정 방법 및 평가방법에 대한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였으며, 무엇보다도 어떻게 계측할 것인가 하는 계측방법 및 그 계측결과의 분석방법에 대해 문제점 파악 및 향후 보완점에 대해 비중을 두어 수행하였다.

In this paper, the previous damage models for structures and their components under seismic repeated loading were reviewed systematically. A failure criterion for steel members under severe cyclic excitations as in strong earthquakes was described. A new approach to seismic damage assessment for steel members was proposed. This method was based on a series of the experimental and numerical investigations for steel members under very low cyclic loading. In this study, very low cyclic loading means repetitive loading, 5 to 20 loading cycles, within the large plastic range. The proposed damage assessment method was focused on the local strain history at the cross-section of the most severe concentration of deformation.

Frequency analysis of city gas pipeline was studied and then the method to give frequencies of failure by the third-party digging, corrosion, ground movement, and equipment failure which were known to be the major cause of risk of city gas pipeline. The failure by the third-party digging was analyzed by fault tree analysis and the failure by corrosion was analyzed by applying equation calculating remaining strength with time. The failure by ground movement was evaluated by applying modified model which was induced through weighing factors with basic failure rate model. The failure rate of equipment was calculated with both generic and specific data

구조물의 동적특성인 모드형상을 통해 국부적인 손상을 탐지하는 손상평가 기법은 많은 연구자에 의해 발전되고 있다. 하지만 플로팅 구조물에 대한 손상탐지 기법은 그 사례를 찾아보기 힘들다. 본 논문에서는 플로팅 구조물의 축소모형을 제작하고, 손상을 모사하여 손상전과 손상 후 구조물의 모드형상에서 얻을 수 있는 모달 변위로 나타낸 손상지수를 통해 플로팅 구조물의 손상을 탐지 하였다.
