In this paper, the long-term performance of highway embankment using tire shred-sandy soil mixture as a lightweight fill material was evaluated through the field monitoring and field test programs. A tire shred-sandy soil embankment was constructed to support a four-lane highway in Indiana, which was built with a 50 : 50 volumetric ratio of tire shreds (maximum particle dimension of 76 mm) and sandy soil (SP, USCS). After opening of the road for traffic, no noticeable differential settlement and lateral deformation were observed, and no adverse environmental impact on temperature was detected as a result of the construction of the tire shred-sandy soil embankment. Moreover, FWD test results showed that tire shred-sandy soil mixture provides bearing capacity comparable to that of conventional fill and meets the criterion for a design life of 20 years.

Smart Pole Measurement System was constructed with not only the core sensors of a GNSS receiver, a TRS sensor and a soil moisture sensor but supplementary installation of power supply and radio communication for monitoring steep slope sites. Also a data processing software for displacement extraction and visualization was developed. Smart Pole Measurement sensor is composed of a GNSS antenna at the top of the pole, a TRS sensor and a gyro sensor vertical below right of the antenna and a soil moisture sensor at the bottom of the pole. The sensor combination extracts not only ground combination in real time but transltion, slide, settlement and soil moisture content. This measuring/monitoring system which cosists of data receiving part, data collection/transfer part and data processing part was built to exercise their functions and then test measuring/monitoring was conducted by introducing artificial displacement and the results were analyzed to evaluate field applicability.

The objective of this study is to derive a shrinkage correction formula that considers temperature effect and to develop a methodology for the improved prediction of the long-term behavior of the FCM bridges by considering seasonal temperature variations in-situ. Thereby, current formulation were performed by using the actual experimental shrinkage data including seasonal temperature variation. The investigation of the long-term behavior of the FCM bridge was performed on the construction site in order to decide applicability of the shrinkage formula Numerical results by the general method indicates inaccurate values of total strain when considering real strain, whereas the applied method demonstrates a good agreement in the resultant strain. In consequently, the applied method will improve the prediction of the long-term deformation of the FCM Bridges.

Despite a number of studies on consolidation behavior that have been carried out in the Nakdong River estuary in Busan, these are focused on the prediction of final settlement during ground improvement process, and there is almost no research on the long-term settlement occurring after that. For the practical study on the long-term settlement, the field monitored settlement data that measured over 10 years in the Busan new port facilities area were used, and the final settlement and predicted time-settlement line were constituted by hyperbolic function. As a result, the measured settlements depend on the thickness of clayey soils, and the pattern were similar to each other and good agreement with the predicted time-settlement line using hyperbolic method. Also, the settlement in the lower non-improved layer occupied 62-76% of total settlement. Information about above results would be quite helpful to understand the long-term settlement behaviors as well as the non-improved layer's settlement is more careful consideration needed at design phase.

The slope monitoring systems which have been operating at home and abroad were investigated and then the real-time monitoring management system for evacuating inhabitants based on Web-EOC(Emergency Operating Center) was constructed. We tried to analyze realistically and precisely the situation by changing from the existing field-centered management to sensor-centered management that measures coordinates and provides in real-time data of measuring/monitoring sensors installed at a field site and developing related viewer programs. In addition, the 3D based monitoring management system, which has alarm functions in case of emergency and provides information about the evacuation place, was constructed on the base that is able to expand to nationwide fields by using Vworld 3D map. Ten steep slope monitoring sites were registered on Web-EOC slope monitoring management system constructed in the research and then application instances were suggested.

In this study, the total loss and damage ratio of maintenance monitoring which is installed and operated in the domestic and foreign tunnel structure is researched and analyzed for estimating the loss and damage ratio of maintenance monitoring sensor of subway tunnel. The total loss and damage ratio at the elapsed time of 5-6 years after installation is 14.2% in the Seoul metro line no.5,6 and 7, 14.8% in the section 1 of the Seoul metro line no.9, 13.9% in the Channel tunnel of England and all of them are close to 15%. Therefore, it is reasonable to reflect that the total loss and damage ratio of maintenance monitoring sensor of subway tunnel is estimated provisionally 15% on design, and hence the study of the loss and damage ratio with the number of elapsed years in long-term by the measurement category will be needed.

Several sensor systems are used to estimate the reinforcing effect of stabilizing pile in slopes, and to find a failure surface in slopes effectively. FBG(Fiber Brags Crating) sensor, V/W(Vibrating Wire) sensor and inclinometer have shown a great potentiality to serve real time health monitoring of the reinforcing structures. Field tests and test results have shown great solutions for sensor systems of Smart Structures. The purpose of this research is to seek for the relationships among the slope movement and the reinforcing effect of stabilizing pile, and the strain distribution of stabilizing pile in a active zone by analyzing the data from the in-situ measurement so that the possible failure surface should be well defined based on the relationships. The field test results have shown that the data by FBG sensor are well coincided with those of V/W sensor and inclinometer, and the reinforcing effect of the stabilizing pile is good enough.

In order to intuitively grasp the earth pressure direction acting on the structure and displacement state, displacement data in the horizontal and vertical directions were processed using the sigmoid function. A displacement coordinate system was set up for each axis. The system can intuitively check the current displacement and assess the management stage of each point. A displacement path can be compiled from continuously recorded points, allowing trends in the displacement's history and stress direction to be known. Analysis of data measured for excavated ground, found that displacement occurred in the direction of destressing at all points, and that the points' management state steady. Similar behavior trends were found among measurement points with high spatial correlation, whereas differing behavior trends occurred among measurement points with low spatial correlation. If the correlation analysis of the precursor and behavior area is performed using the continuously distributed surface settlement data and displacement coordinate system, it will be possible to predict the failure time and area.
