FBG sensor system is applied to the concrete lining structure in Taegu subway. Near the structure, the power cable tunnel construction started. We wanted to measure the deformation of the structure due to the construction by the FBG sensor. The applied sensor has the gauge length of 1 meter to overcome the inhomogeneity of the concrete material with enough length. In order to fix tightly to the structure, the partially stripped parts of the sensor glued to the package and slip phenomenon between fiber and acrylate jacket was prevented. Prestrain of the sensor was imposed by controlling the two fixed points with bolts and nuts in order to measure compressive strain as well as tensile strain. The behavior of subway lining structure could be monitored very well

Underground compressed air energy storage (CAES) system in a lined rock cavern is considered one of the promising large-scale energy storage technologies. In this study, permeabilities of concrete lining block and its construction joint, which are the major components of an air tightness system of the undeground CAES, were measured from a model experiment. From the experiment, it was found that intrinsic permeability of construction joint was larger than that of concrete block by the order scale of $10^1{\sim}10^4$, so that it would be very important to control the quality of construction joints in-situ in order to secure air tightness of storage system. And the permeability of construction joint could be decreased as low as that of the concrete block by pasting an acryl-type adhesive on bonding surfaces. Higher degrees of water saturation of the concrete block resulted in the lower permeability, which is more preferable in the viewpoint of air tightness of storage cavern.

This study proposes a new testing method for shear bearing capacity of FRP-concrete interface, which could well consider a loading condition corresponding to a tunnel lining undergoing axial compression and could be easily carried out with a simply specified specimen. A parametric study is carried out for capturing an optimized condition of coarse-sand coating of FRP, which governs shear bearing capacity of FRP-concrete interface, by using the proposed testing manner in this study. From the parametric study, it is shown that the proposed testing method is reasonably feasible in comparison with the existing testing methods. An optimum condition of coated sand size and sand density is given for the shearing capacity of FRP-concrete interface.

In the present study, in order to elucidate the vibration characteristics of track and train body according to the type of track in tunnel, the vibration accelerations of the track and the KTX train body have been measured in tunnels of Kyong-Bu high-speed railway(HSR) lines, and the frequency analysis of the measured data has been performed. From this, the vibration characteristics of the track components such as rail, sleeper, ballast and slab, the tunnel lining and the vehicle body according to the type of track are investigated and their relation is analyzed. The test results show that the vibration of rail and vehicle body rapidly increases at 80Hz in tunnel, and that is much higher in the tunnel on which the concrete slab track is placed. According to the results of the present study, rail supporting stiffness can variate the vibration characteristics of the total system including the vehicle, and therefore the correlation between the vibration of vehicle should be taken into account to determine the supporting stiffness of the slab track.

This paper is to determine the possibility of re-using waste concrete from Incheon city area. The strength test was conducted with five aggregate compounds which was replaced a natural aggregate with recycled aggregate. After checking the physical characteristics of recycled aggregate compounds, the mix design of recycled concrete was conducted. For the relatively comparison between natural and recycled compounds, while the unit aggregate weight was changed, other conditions were fixed. The freezing and thawing test which included fly-ash and super-plastezer were performed to check the durability and workability when recycling waste concrete. In the physical characteristics of recycled aggregate, it was found that the specific gravity of recycled coarse aggregate and recycled fine aggregate satisfied the first grade of recycle specification(KS), and all compounds of recycled aggregate also satisfied the second grade of absorption specification, Especially up to the 50% substitution of recycled aggregate is equal to or a bit lower than that of convention aggregate. In comparison with conventional concrete, the recycled concrete is lower than maximum by 7% in compressive strength decreasing rate after freezing-thawing test. From now, although most of recycled concrete was used to the building lot, subgrade, asphalt admixture, through the result. It was proved that possibility of re-using recycled aggregate as the substructure of bridge, retaining wall, tunnel lining and concrete structure which is not attacked the drying shrinkage severely.

In a material, micro-cracks can be progressively occurred, propagated and finally lead to failure when it is subjected to cyclic or periodic loading less than its ultimate strength. This phenomenon, fatigue, is usually considered in a metal, alloy and structures under repeated loading conditions. In underground structures, a static creep behavior rather than a dynamic fatigue behavior is mostly considered. However, when compressed air is stored in a rock cavern, an inner pressure is periodically changed due to repeated in- and-out process of compressed air. Therefore mechanical properties of surrounding rock mass and an inner lining system under cyclic loading/unloading conditions should be investigated. In this study, considering an underground lined rock cavern for compressed air energy storage (CAES), the mechanical properties of a lining system, that is, concrete lining and plug under periodic loading/unloading conditions were characterized through cyclic bending tests and shear tests. From these tests, the stability of the plug was evaluated and the S-N line of the concrete lining was obtained.

Impact seismic wave test is a method for nondestructive testing of concrete structure using of stress wave which is propagated and reflected from internal flaws within concrete structure and external surface, In this study, we performed non-destructive testing using impact seismic wave test for safety diagnosis of civil engineering structures. For this, I've compared and analized the result in the way of reflective method mostly using on one-dimension such as tunnel lining, and penetration method using the way of cross hole and tomography.

도시에서 하천의 모습은 시대와 함께 변화하여 왔다. 치수의 대상이 되어 제방이 높아 졌고 사람들의 생활에서 조금씩 떨어져 나왔다. 고 밀도화가 진행되는 도시지역에서 치수사업으로 하천정비를 하면서 하도의 직강화 및 콘크리트라이닝이 일반적이 되었고, 하천을 복개하여 주차장이나 도로로 이용하게 되어 도시 생태계를 단절하고 도시인들의 정서를 황폐하게 만들었다. 이에 본 연구는 부산의 23개의 복개하천 중 주요 복개하천 20개소를 선정하여 복개하천의 관리 실태조사 및 복원가능성을 평가하였다. 평가방법으로는 해당하천을 총괄지수, 제방지수, 생태지수, 하천지수로 나누어 평가함으로써 부산시내 하천평가 및 복원가능성을 제시하였다. 연구순서로는 부산시 하천을 크게 4개의 권역으로 나누고 각 하천에 대한 문헌조사, 현장조사 후 하천평가(도시하천의 하천평가기법 개발 및 적용, 2007 윤세의)를 실시하였다. 평가 결과 도시화가 많이 진행된 유역을 가진 하천 일수록 모든 지수들이 낮게 나와 하천총괄지수와 도시화의 진행정도는 밀접한 관계가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 도심복개하천의 기초자료로서의 활용, 복개하천의 이용실태를 파악하고 개선방안을 제시해 기초 자료로서의 활용에 목적이 있다.

화재에 대한 안전성 확보는 ECC 등과 같은 신소재를 실제 구조물에 적용 또는 실용화하기 위해 필요한 중요한 요소 중 하나이다. 본 논문은 터널구조물에 대한 내화대책의 일환으로써 ECC의 적용가능성을 평가하고자 하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위하여 터널구조물의 화재 온도조건인 RABT 화재온도이력곡선을 적용하여 내화성능을 실험적으로 평가하였다. 또한 비정상 온도분포해석 기법을 이용하여 이를 해석적으로 묘사 검증하였으며, 실험결과를 통해 검증된 해석기법을 이용하여 터널라이닝에 대한 열전달 해석을 수행하여 ECC의 적용가능성을 고찰하였다. 실험결과 ECC는 폭렬 및 화재상태에서의 모체콘크리트에 열화가 발생하지 않았으며, 기존 콘크리트 및 내화소재와의 상대 비교에 있어서도 가장 우수한 내화성능을 나타냈다. 이를 통하여 터널구조물의 내화대책에 있어 ECC 소재가 적용가능성이 있는 것으로 판단되었다.

This paper is aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of flexural toughness of slab panel structures($60{\times}60{\times}10$) reinforced by steel fiber instead of wire mesh. Steel fiber used in this study is double hooked Dramix type fiber. And the fiber length is 60mm, diameter is 0.8mm, Various assessment methods of toughness index are used to estimate the proper effectiveness. In this experimental study, we find that Johnston, JCI-SF4 and EFNARC method are more effective to assess the flexural toughness of slab panels than the others. And the steel fiber is very effective alternative material to reinforce slab panel structures instead of wire mesh. Fiber volume fraction of 0.5~0.75% is more useful than the others in enhancing the post-peak energy absorption and toughness index by Johnston's $I_{5.5}$ assessment method. And the slab panels reinforcing with steel fiber are more resistant to crack propagation than wire mesh reinforcing slabs.
