Carburization at concrete structures is being processed independently or compositively and each unique Carburization will appear depending on the condition of circumstance. Therefore, the depletion rate was being estimated at this research for buildings and civil construction structures of different environments and of more than 10 - 60 years old by calculating the depth of carburization and the density of Alkali. As the results of the test, buildings (interior) had a deeper and a faster carburization than civil construction structures being exposed to open air as closer to the shore. And also, concrete structures being used as an underdrain of sewage were proven to have a deeper carburization than utility-pipe conduits or underground tunnels.

Recently, significant progress has been made in performance-based engineering methods that rely mainly on nonlinear static seismic analysis procedures. The Capacity Spectrum Method (CSM) and the Displacement Coefficient Method (DCM) are the representative nonlinear static seismic analysis procedures. In order to evaluate the applicability of the procedures to the seismic evaluation and design process of new and existing structures, the accuracy of both CSM and DCM should be evaluated in advance. The accuracy of seismic responses by the nonlinear static procedures is evaluated in comparison with the shaking table test results for the structural wall specimen subjected to the far field and near field earthquakes. Also conducted are comparative studies where the shaking table test results are compared with those from nonlinear dynamic analysis procedures, i.e., Single-Degree-of-Freedom (SDOF), equivalent SDOF and Multi-Degree-of-Freedom (MDOF) systems.

To ensure the serviceability requirements of PSC composite girder bridges, it is essential to predict the stresses and deformations of the structure under service load conditions. Stresses and deformations vary continuously with time due to the effects of creep and shrinkage of concrete and relaxation of prestressing steel. The importance of these time-dependent effects is much more pronounced in precast prestressed concrete structures built in stages than in those constructed in one operation. In this paper, time-dependent analyses for PSC composite bridges using 30m standard girders have been conducted considering with the variation of the times of introducing initial prestressing forces and casting concrete. A computer program has been developed for the time-dependent analysis of simple or continuous PSC composite girders and parametric studies are conducted. Based on the numerical results, it is investigated the long-term behaviors of PSC composite girder bridges and discussed the limitations of the current codes for the prestress loss.

토목합성재료 중 부직포 및 직포 지오텍스타일이 지반구조물에 적응될 경우 구속하중 부가 시 흙과의 마찰로 인한 마모에 의해 지오텍스타일의 표면손상이 발생하게 되면 강도저하가 발생하여 구조물의 안정성에 중요한 영향을 미치게 된다. 일반적으로 지오텍스타일과 흙과의 마찰특성평가는 직접전단시험이나 인발시험에 의해 평가되지만, 이들 시험 모두 구속하중에 의한 전단 및 인발변형을 해석할 뿐이며, 마모에 의한 지오텍스타일 표면 손상이나 변화는 거의 고려되지 않는 실정이다. (중략)

This study investigates the response of structures to tunnelling-induced ground movements in sand ground, varying tunnel excavation condition (tunnel depth and diameter), tunnel construction condition (ground loss), ground condition (loose sand and dense sand). Four-story block-bearing structures have been used because the structueres can easily be characterized of the extent of dmages with crack size and distribution. Numerical parametric studies have been used to investigae of the response of structures to varying tunnelling conditions. Numerical analysis has been conducted using Discrete Element Method (DEM) to have real cracks when the shear and tensile stress exceed the maximum shear and tensile strength. The results of structure responses from various parametric studies have been integrated to consider tunnel excavation condition, tunnel construction condition, and ground condition and provided as a relationship chart. Using the chart, the response of structures to tunnelling can easily be evaluated in practice in sand ground.

Recently, as subway traffic have been increased, vibration of each parts of subway influence on structures above subway tunnel. This paper presents a new method to reduce which was generated by subway traffic. By comparing directional coherence relationship of X, Y, Z-axis and vibrational coherence relationship of spherical signal which was unified by three directional signals, effective vibration diminishing method was proposed. It can be found that locomotive vibration(specially 1-2Hz) have the worst effect on the vibration of structures and the vibration of subway box ranked 2nd, the vibration of earth ranked 3rd.

In this paper, the basic principle, the application and the limitation of Infrared thermography technique to detect defects in different kinds of concrete structures are reviewed. Considered are voids beneath the concrete surface with experiments, delamination between concrete surface and fiber reinforced polymer sheet, the deterioration of steel bars in reinforced concrete, surface defects in historical buildings, pavements, bridges, and railway track graves. As a result, we conclude that infrared thermography methods are useful for fast detecting defects; however, they are influenced by environmental factors, specially temperature. Therefore it is recommended to use the infrared thermography technique with other NDT equipments to expect better result.

최근 들어 구조물이 대형화되고 급속히 시공되는 경향이 증가함에 따라 구조물에 대한 변위측정은 시공중인 구조물뿐만 아니라, 그 사후관리 및 안전성 여부를 파악하는데 중요한 기초자료로 활용되고 있다. 특히, 해상에서 실시되는 방조제나 안벽 공사 등에서는 육상구조물에 비해 변위측정에 여러 가지 제약이 따른다. 이와 같은 해상 토목구조물의 거동을 다각적으로 파악하기 위한 연직 방향 및 평면 변위 측정에 GPS를 적용하면 신속하고 정확한 변위측정 자료를 획득할수 있다. (중략)

In this paper, we present the evaluation results for the conservatism of the response acceleration method (RAM), for seismic response analysis of box-type power cable tunnels. We studied 50 examples, considering the cross sections of 25 power cable tunnels, and two soil conditions for each power cable tunnel. A refined dynamic analysis method considering the soil-structure interaction was further employed to evaluate the conservatism of the RAM. The comparison revelated that the seismic responses computed using the RAM were consistent with those obtained using the refined method, since the averages of response ratio (defined as the ratio of the response by RAM to that of the refined method) approached 1.0, and the standard deviations of the response ratio were less than 5%. Finally, we found that applying a load factor of 1.1 to the response of the RAM allowed for a conservative design for seismic loads.

하천에 흐르는 유량을 활용하기 위한 인간의 요구는 끊임없이 증대되고 있으며, 댐 건설과 같은 대형 구조물의 건설은 인간의 수자원 이용에 대한 편의성을 증가시켜주었으나 본래 자연하천이 갖는 생태적 기능을 상실하게 만들고 다양한 생태 및 환경적 문제점을 초래하였다. 특히 유황의 변화는 수생태계의 구조와 기능에 커다란 변화를 야기하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 하천의 이·치수적 기능을 유지하면서 인간과 자연이 더불어 살 수 있는 친환경적인 하천 조성을 위해 적정량의 생태유량 산정 방안에 대해 분석하였다. 연구 대상유역은 댐 건설로 인해 유황변화가 발생하며, 하천유지유량이 고시된 낙동강 지류하천인 감천유역을 대상으로 하였다. 감천의 생태계에 필요한 생태유량 확보 방안 마련을 위해서 1) 생태계 필요유량의 산정, 2) 유역 물수지모형 구축, 3) 적정 생태유량의 공급 및 확보방안 시나리오 마련의 순서로 연구를 진행하였다. 첫 번째, 생태유량 산정을 위해 수문학적 방법과 서식처 모의 방법을 활용하였다. 수문학적 방법은 Tennant, Aquatic Base Flow (ABF) 및 Smakthin 방법으로 생태유량을 산정하였고, 서식처 모의 방법으로는 서식처 모의 모델 중 2차원 수리해석이 가능한 River 2D를 활용하여 대상어종의 생태유량을 산정하였다. 두 번째, 유역 물수지 분석을 위해 K-WEAP 모델을 활용하여 감천유역의 물수지 모형을 구축하였으며, 김천부항댐의 방류량과 감천유역 하류에 위치한 구미시(선주교)의 유량과 비교를 통해 물수지 모델 결과를 검증하였다. 마지막으로 여덟 가지 생태유량 공급 시나리오를 감천유역의 물수지 모형에 적용하여 생태유량의 확보 방안을 평가하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 하천 생태계의 건강성 유지를 위해서 필요한 생태유량을 다양한 학술적 방법으로 산정하여 연구 대상하천에 적용 가능성을 평가하였으며, 향후 생태유량을 보다 정량적으로 평가할 수 있는 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 또한 산정된 생태유량을 확보하기 위한 물수지모델의 적용방안을 제시함으로써 하천 및 유역의 수자원관리에 방향을 제시하고자 하였다.
