The purpose of this study is to evaluate the flexural strengthening effects of RC beams reinforced with carbon fiber sheets (CFS) in variable of strengthening amount and anchorage length of CFS. This study can be summarized as follows ; The CFS shares the tensile stress such as rebar during loading test. Also, as the strengthening amount of CFS is increased, the maximum flexural strength of RC beams reinforced with CFS is increased. Therefore, it is confirmed that the CFS's strengthening method is very effective to improve the flexural strength of RC beams. The maximum flexural strength of RC beams with CFS is determined by bond failure between CFS and concrete surface. So, the evaluation of CFS's strengthening effect can be calculated using the tensile stress of CFS which is peeling. When the anchorage length of CFS is increased, the ductility of RC beams is increased because of delaying the peeling of CFS. But, in case of same anchorage length of CFS, when the strengthening amount of CFS is increased, the ductility is decreased. Therefore, it is considered that the anchorage of CFS in the end zone is necessary.

Most of the masonry buildings have many structural defects under an earthquake load due to the small tensile force and ductility. In the foreign countries there are many the reinforcing methods of masonry buildings, but the glass fiber sheet reinforcements must be used due to various conditions in Korea. The purpose of this paper is to estimate the seismic capacity of masonry buildings damaged by earthquake and reinforced by Glass Fiber Sheet. On the basis of test results, the maximum base shear force and deformation of the masonry building with GFS were remarkably increased. From the comparison by existing strength equations and test data, the new strength equation of reinforced masonry buildings with GFS was developed.

In performing a risk analysis of structure for earthquake, it is imperative to identify the vulnerability of structures associated with various stages of damage. And the earthquake resisting capability is needed for structures like bridge. So the damage analysis of bridges with or without isolator for earthquake effects is necessary. In this paper, the risk analysis of seismic isolated LRB bridges considering earthquake effects such as PGA, PGV, SA, SV, and SI is performed using fragility curves to assure the earthquake resisting capability of the structures. And, the stability of fragility curve is investigated with respect to elastic modulus.

An algorithm is proposed for estimating axle loads of trucks moving over a bridge by measuring dynamic responses. The bridge was modeled by a beam structure in the current applications of the proposed algorithm. Among the state vectors, measured acceleration was used and displacement was computed from measured strain at the same location. Nodal force vectors were computed by using a ready-made database of equivalent nodal force transformation matrix. The algorithm was examined through simulation studies and laboratory experiments. The effects of measurement noise and velocity error were investigated through simulation studies.

Mathematical basis of interpretation of data from nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods in condition assessment of structures is presented. In structural inspection with NDE methods, NDE data are not directly used for the condition assessment. Instead, NDE data must be interpreted as condition of inspected element. Correct assessments of conditions depend on many factors such as the inaccuracy and the variability in NDE measurements and the uncertainty in correlation between attributes (what is measured) and conditions (what is sought in the inspection). A full description of the performance of NDE methods considers the relation of test data to conditions of elements. The quality of the test itself is important, but equally important is the interpretation that occurs after the test. The effects of variability in test data and uncertainty in correlations of attributes and conditions are presented in three examples of field testing methods.

The carriage of the Parcel by vail has declined sharply in recent decade due to the advent of parcel service by truck in the early 1990s. As a result, rail stations Providing the parcel services have decreased from 421 stations in the year 1973, to only 90 stations in 2005. From the financial perspective, the Parcel consignment expenses has surpassed the revenue, recording 5.2 billion Won of yearly deficit from the year 1999 to 2003. The shift in the train operators' affiliation from a governmental department to a government-funded organization arose due to the vail reform in January 1, 2005, and the train operators have sought to abolish the parcel services to minimize the deficit. In this research. we investigated the problems of rail parcel services, their competitiveness compared to the road parcel services, and their revitalization Possibilities. Finally. we have proposed plans for the abolishment of the rail parcel services, and assessed the possible outcome or this abolishment.

Railway turnout systems play a key role in railway systems that change train directions. The turnout systems are one of the weakest systems in railway systems, and consecutive maintenance is required. A turnout diagnostic system can automatically measure the turnout status and its deterioration. To diagnose the turnout systems, we follow conventional maintenance procedures and need to identify their physical characteristics to coincide the procedures and the characteristics. According to the physical characteristics, we should choose and install adequate sensors on the turnout systems to measure their physical characteristics. We studied the phenomenon of the turnout system responses for point moving and train running on the turnout systems. We installed sensors on the turnout system in a revenue line to measure the identified physical quantities and to reveal the robustness of the sensors under the turnout system environment.

The precise inspection for safety and diagnosis (PISD) of tunnel has been conducted by the special act on safety control of public structures. However, the present assessment for the segmental lining of TBM tunnel has limitation such as: NDTs for integrity, segmental configuration for field inspection, and consideration for jacking system. Even if the number of TBM tunnel is less than 1% of enrolled facility in FMS, more attention to maintenance should be necessary due to its usage such as multi-use facility and national important facility. Compared to NATM tunnel, excavated by drilling and blasting and then installed lining by cast-in-place within 6~12 m, TBM tunnel is cut out ground by disk and cutter-bit and then assembled 7 pieces of precast segment, 1.2~1.4 m wide. Different features of design, construction, and maintenance should be considered to be more exact evaluation of TBM tunnel. The characteristics of defect is categorized and analyzed with 11 operational TBM tunnels in domestic subway. To be more comprehend various particular defects, foreign studies have been also adapted. Crack and leakage are categorized in 7 patterns. Breakage/spalling and corrosion are also grouped into 3 patterns. Patterned defects or damages are fed back in design, construction, and are useful guidelines for maintenance stage in future.

기후변화는 사회 경제 환경부분에 영향을 미치며 수자원 부문에서는 안정적인 물 공급에 위기가 발생할 것으로 전망되고 있다. 인간이 이용하는 수자원은 강우에 의해 가장 민감하게 반응하므로 지속적이고 안정적인 수자원을 이용하기 위해서는 통합적이고 탄력적인 대응방안이 요구되고 있다. 특히 우리나라와 같은 여름에 집중적 강우가 나타나는 지역에서의 용수수급에 대한 중요성은 더욱더 커질 것이다. 또한 앞으로 1인당 물 수요량의 증가할 것으로 예상됨에 따라 용수수급 관리를 위한 적응전략 수립은 반드시 필요할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 수문모형인 SWAT을 이용하여 자연유량을 산출하기 위해 SWAT-CUP을 이용한 검보정을 수행하여 모형의 적용성을 검토하였다. 기후변화 시나리오인 RCP시나리오를 이용하여 기간별 자연유량을 산정하였다. 유역의 생활용수, 공업용수, 농업용수 및 하천유지유량 데이터를 수집하여 물 분배 모형인 K-MODSIM 모형에 적용하였다. 2011년부터 2100년까지 월별로 유역의 물 수급의 과부족을 산정하였다. 용수의 부족이 나타난 지역에 대한 수요관리와 공급관리 방안을 수립하였고 대안을 적용한 후 용수 공급에 미치는 영향을 다시 분석하였다. 수문모의 결과 RCP 시나리오별로 자연유량을 산정한 결과 시간의 흐름에 따라 물 공급량이 감소할 것으로 분석되었고 계절별로 차이는 더 크게 나타났다. 특히 갈수기인 봄과 겨울철의 유량감소가 나타났다. 모의된 월별 자연유량을 K-MODSIM에 입력하여 월별 모의를 수행한 결과 각 용수별로 부족현상이 나타났다. 생활용수의 부족이 나타난 경우 수요관리를 통해 물 수요량을 줄이는 적응전략을 수립하였고 부족량이 크게 나타나는 농업용수와 하천유지유량의 경우 공급량을 늘리는 공급관리를 통한 적응전략을 수립하여 효과분석을 수행하였다. 단계별로 용수공급에 대한 효과가 나타났다. 하지만 본 연구에서는 경제성 분석을 제외한 용수공급에 중점을 둔 적응전략을 수립하였으므로 이를 포함한 분석이 포함된다면 실제 용수공급 대안 선정을 위한 의사결정에 도움이 될 수 있을 것이다.
