This paper presents an experimental investigation regarding the sensitivity of electrical impedance of a steel wire to tensile stress, ambient temperature and induced frequency. For various stress levels and temperatures, the electrical impedance of a steel wire has been measured on a self-sensing system. The three experimental cases are carried out at various temperature conditions, stress levels and applied frequencies. If the temperature increases and stress level decreases at a given frequency, the electrical impedance on the steel wire increases. The results show that the correlation between electrical impedance and temperature is a linear relationship at all stress levels. It is noted that the sensitivity of impedance to temperature is much higher than the stress.

The survey team has conducted the on-the-site inspection of 53 bridges to which LNG gas pipelines are attached, to ascertain their level of safety, durability and any defect by adapting a method of computer data input process and precision analysis. In this way, we could estimate an effective corrective action on the defective gas pipelines found through this survey. Our survey team has analyzed carefully these 2 defective lines selectively out of 10 lines, which are considered to be most seriously weak. According to our elaborate analysis these two pipelines go over 70% of the set standard stress based on our Safety Manual Scale. We have taken corrective actions on these lines by repairing/replacing/obsolete damaged lines to ensure the distress of the bridges involved with the pipelines and could secure safety.

The paper presented results of the strength distributions and tension failure behaviors of splices subjected to tension forces. The bolting patterns in the tension splices are regular and staggered patterns in the research. The finite element analyses were carried out to examine the experimental results and evaluated the stress distribution patterns. The yield stresses, maximum tension stresses, stress distribution ratios, and effective net areas were analyzed through the tension experiments.

The objective of this study which it sees direct shear stress and comparative analysis of flexural shear stress leads and it is a shear stress analysis which it follows in load direction of the structure which uses Perfobond Rib shear connectors. To analyze direct shear stress, five Perfobond Rib shear connect experiments were fabricated with five variables and conducted Push-out Tests. After experiments, mechanism of Perfobond Rib shear connector was examined and direct shear formula was proposed based on primary factors which influence direct shear stress. Also, for the analysis of flexural shear steel-concrete composite slab specimens were fabricated and static flexural test. Based on the static flexural test it analyzed the flexural behavior and the flexural shear stress it calculated. Direct shear stress and EN 1994-1-1 to lead and be calculated, it compared the flexural shear stress and it analyzed in about the shear resistance stress which it follows in load direction.

A stress measurement method of structural member using piezoelectric property and electrostatic voltmeter is presented. The electric potentials of the surface of the piezoelectric element, which are proportional to the strain ${\varepsilon}$ on the structural member, are measured by an electrostatic voltmeter during load cycling. The stress ${\sigma}$ is calculated by this strain ${\varepsilon}$. Moreover, a stress distribution measurement tape which can be used for the stress distribution measurement along a specified line on the surface of structural member is developed, and the surface potential was measured by an electric static voltmeter of non-contact type. The applicability of the stress distribution measurement tape is examined through experiments using a notched specimen under cyclic loading. The measured distributions of x, y and xy are compared with those calculated by FEM analysis.

The purpose of this research is the evaluation of the estimation equation of "CEP-FIP Model Code 1990(1991)", recently included in the domestic "Concrete Structure Design Code(2007)" in consideration of the concrete strength. As evaluation tools, crack element model applied a detailed bond-slip model as well as crack width obtained from experimental results by earlier researches. The crack element model is verified through the comparison with experimental results. The important variables in the estimation equation for the crack width in CEP-FIP Model Code 1990 are the tension stiffening effect and mean bond stress proposed in the paper to be improved in consideration of the concrete strength.

In this study, polysulfide epoxy polymer concrete was chosen as an ultra thin bridge deck overlay, and the effect of polymer concrete pavement on the fatigue stress range of the orthotropic steel deck was analyzed through the comparative analysis with epoxy asphalt pavement and SFRC pavement. Abaqus was used to estimate the fatigue stress range, and signed von-mises stress was used to estimate fatigue stress range according to pavement materials and thickness, considering there were multi axis stresses which have longitudinal and lateral direction on the welded parts of the steel deck.

This study entailed an investigation of a tensile stress measurement method for prestressed concrete (PSC) tendons by utilizing external magnetization. The target of this study are PS structures that have been constructed and in use. An optimal external magnetization based elasto-magnetic (EM) sensor was designed using finite element analysis considering various factors, such as coil arrangement and size, that could influence the PS tendons inside the PSC girder. The residual tensile stress resulting from the external magnetization of the girder was then determined. Further, theoretical verification was performed using the numerical and material data used in the finite element analysis for sensor design. The calculated values of strength of magnetization at the target location were matched with the finite element analysis results. Thus, the designed sensor and the feasibility of magnetizing the tendons inside the PSC I-girder using an EM sensor were validated.

Member force, strain and stress distribution of a section are obtained for prestressed steel and concrete(PSSC) composite bridge subjected to dead and live load in order to interpret the effect of prestressing and deformation of tendon. The stress and strain distribution and moment capacity are obtained for both noncomposite and composite section and for allowable stress limit state, yield limit state and strength limit state. Reliability analysis is conducted after assuming limit states for deflection, stress and flexural strength. Comparing that the reliability index for stress is near 0 for example section which is designed to satisfy the allowable stress exactly, the reliability indexes for deflection and flexural strength are high. Reliability of PSSC girder which is designed based on allowable stress of bridge design code is high for deflection and flexural strength.

MEMS 기술을 이용한 다양한 센서의 개발과정에서 신뢰성 확보는 매우 중요한 문제이며, 여러 가지 신뢰성 항목 가운데 낙하시험은 가장 기본이 되는 항목이다. 단시간 내에 낙하에 대한 내충격성을 확보하는 MEMS 센서를 개발하기 위해 본 논문에서는 FEA와 high-level 모델을 결합한 낙하시험 모의진단법을 제안하였다. 제안된 모의진단법을 통해 MEMS 소자에서의 최대응력과 응력분포, 최대변위, 그리고 낙하시의 과도응답과 오신호 등의 결과를 확보할 수 있으며 이들을 토대로 MEMS 소자에서의 취약부위를 파악하고 이를 보완할 수 있으며 낙하시의 오동작을 제거하도록 신호처리 회로 등을 보완할 수도 있을 것이며 이를 통해 단시간 내에 최소의 비용으로 내충격성을 확보한 MEMS 센서를 개발하는 것이 가능해질 것이다.
