The existing research on the damage detection method for building structures has considered the damages from the excessive loadings such as the earthquake. However, the structural performance of building structures could be reduced due to the deterioration based on the chloride, carbonation during the long-term time. Thus, to effectively manage the healthiness of structures, the deterioration influences on the structures should be checked. In this study, the corrosion of rebars by the chloride is considered as the deterioration factor. To consider the structural performance reduction of the corroded rebars, the yield strength, cross-sectional area, rupture strain of rebars and the compressive strength of cover concrete based on the corrosion level are estimated. These properties of rebars and cover concrete are used for the procedure to evaluate the structural performance reduction of structural member level and the building level. The moment-curvature analysis is performed to evaluate the structural performance reduction of structural member level. Also, the eigenvalue analysis and the pushover analysis are performed to investigate the natural period and mode shape and the strength and deformation performance of buildings, respectively.

When the seismic stability of quay walls is analyzed, the magnitudes of force components acting on quay walls during earthquakes and the phase relations among these force components must be properly evaluated. In general, force components include inertia force of the quay wall, lateral earth force, and water force. The magnitude and the phase relation of each force component vary according to the magnitude of the excess pore pressures developed in backfill soils of the quay wall. The dynamic thrust mobilized at the contact surface between the backfill soil and the wall develops as a result of the interactions among these force components. We propose a simple model to evaluate the magnitude and phase variation of the dynamic thrust on the back of the wall in terms of the excess pore pressure. The proposed model can predict the dynamic thrust by summing the magnitudes of farce components calculated from design equations for seismic pressures on the wall. The proposed model was verified by comparing its results with the results from a series of shaking table tests.

The past studies on reinforced earth retaining wall have been mostly focused on the internal and external failure of reinforced earth retaining wall, and the research for external impact was limited on earthquake. However, the potential external impact such as vehicle collision to reinforced earth retaining wall near the road are increasing with development of roads. Therefore, in this study, the reinforced earth retaining wall was modeled by using LS-DYNA, which is a general purpose finite element program recognized for its reliability. The behavior of reinforced earth retaining wall by vehicle speed was analyzed with Ford single unit truck offered by NCAC (National Crash Analysis Center), which is 8 tons weight. In addition, in order to obtain stability of reinforced earth retaining wall for vehicle collision, the gravity retaining wall was applied at the bottom of reinforced earth retaining wall. With varying the height of retaining wall (0.5m, 1.0m, 1.5m), the numerical study was performed to analyze the stability and behavior of reinforced earth retaining wall.

Seismic design of modular structures is usually carried out under the assumption that their load-carrying mechanism is similar to that of traditional steel moment-resisting frames(SMRFs). However, the load carry mechanism of modular structures would be different with that of traditional SMRFs because of their overlapped structural elements and complicated details of connections for the assembly of the unit-modules. In this study, nonlinear static analyses of 3 and 5-story prototype modular structures have been carried out with four different analytical models, which are established in consideration for the effects of overlapped elements and the hysteretic behavior of connections. Prototype structures present different lateral stiffness and strength depending on the modeling of overlapped elements and the rotational behavior of connections. For modular structures designed under assumption that overlapped structural elements are fully composite each other and connections between unit-modules are fixed, their lateral strength and stiffness can be over-estimated. Furthermore, it is known from the analysis results that modular structures with more than 3-stories would possess relatively low overstrength compared to traditional SMRFs.

최근 기후온난화로 인한 이상기후와 지진의 발생가능성으로 인해 직렬 혹은 병렬로 위치한 2개 이상의 댐(저수지)들의 연속 붕괴 가능성도 점점 커지고 있어 연속 댐 붕괴에 대한 비상대처계획도 수립에 대한 관심도 증대되고 있다. 국내에서는 댐(저수지) 붕괴로 인한 극한홍수해석이나 비상대처계획 수립시 국내에서는 DAMBRK, FLDWAV, HEC-RAS와 같은 1차원 수리동역학 모형이 주로 사용되어지고 있다. 하지만 1차원 모형은 흐름을 하나의 방향으로만 한정하여 해석하고, 각각의 적용 횡단면에서 동일 수위를 가지다는 가정으로 홍수범람해석을 수행하므로 정확성뿐만 아니라 실제 적용성에서도 한계를 가질 수밖에 없다. 댐(저수지) 붕괴로 인한 홍수범람해석에서 2차원 이상의 고차원 모형은 앞서 언급한 1차원 모형에 적용된 비현실적인 가정을 포함하지 않으므로 더욱 정교하고 신뢰성 있는 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 하지만, 홍수범람해석을 위한 상용 프로그램들은 단일 댐(저수지) 붕괴의 적용에는 큰 어려움이 없으나, 지형단면을 초기에 한번만 고려하는 문제로 인하여 연속 댐(저수지) 붕괴의 고려에는 한계를 가진다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 댐(저수지)의 연속 붕괴를 해석할 수 있는 2차원 수리동역학 모형을 개발하고자 한다. 각 댐(저수지)의 붕괴 전과 후의 지형 단면을 여러 번 반영할 수 있는 모형을 개발함으로써 시간차를 두고 붕괴되는 댐(저수지)의 연속 붕괴를 해석할 수 있도록 하였다. 개발모형은 2002년 태풍 루사로 인해 실제로 붕괴된 저수지에 적용되었으며, 이 저수지들은 붕괴시 시간차이를 두고 붕괴가 이루어져 개발모형의 적용 유역으로 선택하였다. 저수지의 연속붕괴 모델링을 위해 지형자료로는 저수지 단면, 댐 제체 및 여수로 붕괴 단면, 하천 단면 그리고 홍수터 지형 반영을 위한 수치지도, 경계조건으로는 저수지로의 유입유량과 하류단 조위조건이 고려되었다. 그리고 태풍 루사 당시의 기록적인 강우를 반영하기 위해 연구유역 인근에 관측된 강우를 모형에서 하천 및 홍수터에서 고려할 수 있도록 하였다.

The recent earthquake of Pohang (M5.4) and the Gyeongju earthquake (M5.8) suggested the possibility of a strong earthquake in Korea and reminded us that the Korea is no longer an earthquake-safe zone. In the disaster recovery stage in a disaster like an earthquake, the investigation of the damage situation and the safety assessment of the building serve to provide important information for the initial action such as establishment of the recovery strategy and rescue of the survivor. However, the research that depends on manpower can not cope with the difficulty of processing a large number of doses in a short time, and the expertise of the manpower must be taken into consideration, which may result in delayed initial action. In this study, we propose an rapid safety evaluation technique of building using unmanned aerial vehicle which evaluates the performance and safety of buildings by integrating conventional safety inspection method with unmanned aerial vehicle technology and developed evaluation method of each evaluation factor. In order to verify this, the buildings damaged by the earthquake in Pohang were checked and compared using this system. The results are consistent with the results of the existing emergency earthquake risk assessment. As a result, the possibility of checking the emergency safety using the unmanned aerial vehicle for the damaged structures in case of a large-scale disaster such as an earthquake was confirmed.

환경기초시설은 인간의 활동으로 인하여 발생하는 오염물질에 대한 적극적인 대응시설이다. 이는 환경기초시설로 유입되는 오염물의 경우 농도와 양적인 측면에서 부하가 상당히 크다는 것을 알 수 있으며 이러한 오염물질들이 제대로 처리되지 못하면 심각한 환경오염문제를 초래함은 자명한 사실이다. 환경기초시설 중 하폐수처리장은 수계관리에 있어 대표적인 점오염원으로 해당 방류수역의 적절한 수질을 유지하기 위해 하폐수처리장의 방류수는 수질기준을 엄격하게 준수함을 넘어 수질기준보다 훨씬 낮은 수준으로 방류수의 농도를 유지함이 바람직하다. 재난 등으로 인하여 이러한 하폐수처리장의 정상운영에 문제가 발생하였을 때 해당 방류수역에 심각한 영향을 주게 된다. 실제 경주 및 포항지진, 태풍 매미 등 자연재해로 인한 하폐수처리장의 피해가 다수 발생하여 해당 방류수역에 많은 영향을 미쳤을 것으로 추정되나 과거 피해를 입은 환경기초시설의 경우 시설 자체에 대한 피해정도나 복구상황에 대한 조사 및 후속보고는 있었으나 하페수처리장의 기능상실에 따른 해당 수역의 오염정도나 피해에 대한 보고는 없었다. 이는 하폐수처리장의 기능상실이 해당 수역에 미치는 영향을 정확하게 파악하지 못함으로 실질적인 피해 정도를 가늠할 수 없게 만들었을 뿐만 아니라 향후 비슷한 피해가 발생하였을 때 어떠한 대처가 필요한지에 대한 계획수립에 도움을 줄 수 없게 되는 결과를 초래하였다. 본 연구에서는 폐수처리시설이 여러변수에 의해 피해를 입어 정상적인 가동이 어려운 상황이 발생하여 유입수가 처리되지 않고 방류되었을 때 방류수역에 미치는 영향을 모의하였다. 낙동강으로 처리수를 직접 방류하는 달성2차 산업단지 폐수처리장을 대상으로 모의를 진행하였고 모의결과는 하폐수처리장의 미처리수 방류에 있어 가장 중요한 점은 방류수의 수질상태 보다는 유량이었음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과는 하폐수처리장의 기능상실에 따른 피해정도를 가늠함으로 향후 하폐수처리장의 기능상실에 대처할 수 있는 적절한 대응대책 수립에 기초적인 자료를 제공할 것으로 기대된다.

Laminar-shear-boxes are widely used to simulate free-field seismic ground response by using a l-g shaking table or geo centrifuge in geotechnical earthquake engineering. This study numerically modeled and compared the ground responses in the free field, rigid box, and laminar shear box by using a 3-D FEM program. It is found from the numerical simulations that the laminar shear box can simulate the free field ground movement more precisely than the rigid box. However, the laminar shear box underestimated the surface acceleration of the free field ground. It also showed low-frequency characteristics probably because the stiffness and inertia effect of surrounding ground are neglected.
