Recently, the demand on the practical application of life-cycle cost effectiveness for design and rehabilitation of civil infrastructure is rapidly growing unprecedentedly in civil engineering practice. Accordingly, it is expected that the life-cycle cost in the 21st century will become a new paradigm for all engineering decision problems in practice. However, in spite of impressive progress in the researches on the LCC, so far, most researches in Koreahave only focused on roadway bridges, which are not applicable to railway bridges. Thus, this paper presents the formulation models and methods for uncertainty-based LCCA for railroad bridges consideringboth objective statistical data available in the agency database of railroad bridges management and subjective data obtained form interviews with experts of the railway agency, which are used to anew uncertainty-based expected maintenance/repair costs including lifetime indirect costs. For reliable assessment of the life-cycle maintenance/repair costs, statistical analysis considering maintenance history data and survey data including the subjective judgments of railway experts on maintenance/management of railroad bridges, are performed to categorize critical maintenance items and associated expected costs and uncertainty-based deterioration models are developed. Finally, the formulation for simulation-based LCC analysis of railway bridges with uncertainty-based deterioration models are applied to the design-decision problem, which is to select an optimal bridge type having minimum Life-Cycle cost among various railway bridges types such as steel plate girder bridge, and prestressed concrete girder bridge in the basic design phase.

In this study, on the basis of the results of the field survey and the theoretical consideration for Korean Standard Specification for concrete durability and maintenance, the following conclusions are derived. From the survey, the prediction equation of carbonation depth for the southwest region in Korea is experimentally proposed, $y_p=5.865{\sqrt{t}}$, which predicts about 60mm of the carbonation depth for the concrete structures of 100 years, a 1st class of target endurance period, under a combined deterioration environment like a marine environment. Considering that the marginal value for a carbonation depth limitation under very severely marine environment is 25mm, in accordance with the Specification, it is found that the predicting carbonation depth for the concrete cover depths, 100mm and 60mm are 63mm and 29.4mm, respectively. In conclusion, according to the equation and the Specification, it is strongly required that the reinforced concrete structures with the cover depth under 100mm have to make a protection from combined deterioration factors by any methods like a surface coating, an increment of cover depth or an application of a special concrete.

Although many waterproofing materials and techniques have been developed and applied, there is still a leakage in concrete structures. The main reason for the failure of waterproofing is due to the lack of consideration of the environmental conditions and the inconsistent performance requirement of the waterproofing materials in response to the complexity of the environmental conditions., and materials that are unsuitable to the environment are still being selected for usage due to their low price. Moreover, there is no valid test assessment for waterproofing materials to be used prior to actual application in the construction site. The development of a testing method and apparatus that can evaluate the composite waterproofing method is proposed in this paper and an interpretation method that can analyze the results of the evaluation.

The purpose of this study makes a retrofit and rehabilitation practice trough the analysis and the improvement for the underlying problem of current retrofit and rehabilitation methods. Therefore, the deterioration process, the damage cause, the condition classification, the fatigue mechanism and the applied quantity of strengthening methods for slab bridge decks were analysed. Artificial neural networks are efficient computing techniqures that are widely used to solve complex problems in many fields. In this study, a back-propagation neural network model for estimating a management on existing slab bridge decks from damage cause, damage type, and integrity assessment at the initial stsge is need. The training and testing of the network were based on a database of 36. Four different network models werw used to study the ability of the neural network to predict the desirable output of increasing degree of accuracy. The neural networks is trained by modifying the weights of the neurons in response to the errors between the actual output values and the target output value. Training was done iteratively until the average sum squared errors over all the training patterms were minimized. This generally occurred after about 5,000 cycles of training.

Rock properties of the five storied stone pagoda in the Mooryangsa temple are consist mainly in medium grained biotite granite with partly pegmatite veinlet. A part of the foundation stone is substituted in identical rock properties of the pagoda. The upper part of the pagoda is used purples and stone, gray shale and granodiorite. The most serious problem of the pagoda is structual instability from centered subsidence of the ground in northwestern direction remarkably. In southern view, the upper part of the pagoda also is slanted a little in right, it will need reinforcement by engineering method for structual stability of the stone pagoda. Weathering states of the stone pagoda are affected results of natural and artifical factors due to the surface-exfoliation, fine-fissure, crack, falling offs. On the rock surface of the pagoda, ferro-manganese hydroxide compounds are coated along the rainpathway. Also, bryophyte range concentration spreads raindrops face of roof rock properties, which areadd biological weathering effects. For the synthetic evaluation of the deterioration state, we make detailed surface weathering maps, it will be contribute to investigation for future conservation schemes.

In this paper, the carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) grids embedded in polymer cement mortar (PCM) shotcrete (CFRP-PCM method) was conducted to repair the degraded tunnel linings with a cavity. Subsequently, the reinforcing effect of the CFRP-PCM method under different degrees of lining deterioration was quantitatively evaluated. Finally, the limit state design method of the M-N interaction curve was conducted to determine whether the structure reinforced by the CFRP-PCM method is in a safe state. The main results indicated that when the cavity is at the shoulder, the lining damage rate is more serious. In addition, the remarkably reinforcing effect on the degraded tunnel linings could be achieved by applying a higher grade of CFRP grids, whereas the optimization effect is no longer obvious when the grade of CFRP grids is too high (CR8); Furthermore, it is found that the M-N numerical values of the ten reinforcing designs of the CFRP-PCM method are distributed outside the corresponding M-N theoretical interaction curves, and these designs should be avoided in the corresponding reinforcing engineering.

Heritage timber structures represent the history and culture of a nation. These structures have been inherited from previous generations; however, they inevitably exhibit deterioration over time, potentially leading to structural deficiencies. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) offers the potential to assess operational anomalies, deterioration, and damage through processing and analysis of data collected from transducers and sensors mounted on the structure. This paper reports on the design and implementation of a long-term SHM system on the Feiyun Wooden Pavilion in China, a three-story timber building built more than 500 years ago. The principles and features of the design and implementation of SHM systems for heritage timber buildings are systematically discussed. In total, 104 sensors of 6 different types are deployed on the structure to monitor the environmental effects and structural responses, including air temperature and humidity, wind speed and direction, structural temperatures, strain, inclination, and acceleration. In addition, integrated data acquisition and transmission subsystem using a newly developed software platform are implemented. Selected preliminary statistical and correlation analysis using one year of monitoring data are presented to demonstrate the condition assessment capability of the system based on the monitoring data.

춘궁동 오층석탑(보물 제12호)의 암석학적 풍화와 훼손도를 진단하였다. 이 석탑의 정면은 N30$^{\circ}$W를 향하고 있으며, 구성암석은 안구상 편마암과 흑운모 화강암이다. 석탑을 이루는 암석은 박리와 변색이 심하고, 조암광물은 화학적 및 광물학적 풍화에 의하여 점토광물로 변질되어 있다. 석탑의 표면과 부재사이에는 지의류와 이끼류의 모근 및 포자류가 기생하고 있으며, 하단부는 이미 고등식물이 천이하고 있다. 따라서 석탑의 표면에 피복된 지의류와 불연속면에 서식하고 있는 잡초를 제거하기 위한 생화학적 처리가 요구된다. 이 석탑의 구조적 안정을 위해서는 부재사이에 틈이 없도록 재조립을 해야 하며, 삽입한 철편도 제거한 후에 석조문화재 보강용 충전제를 이용한 보존처리가 필요하다. 또한 석탑에 미치는 지면의 습도를 저감하기 위한 차수층의 설치도 고려되어야 할 것이다.

이 연구는 현풍석빙고의 미기후 특성을 분석하여 손상에 영향을 미친 기후인자를 해석하고 보존환경을 평가한 것이다. 석빙고의 내부 구성부재에는 균열, 이격, 탈락, 박락, 백화, 갈색 변색, 흑색 변색 및 생물에 의한 변색이 발생하였으며, 이 중 생물에 의한 변색이 가장 높은 훼손율(24%)을 보였다. 석빙고 내부의 환경은 외부의 기상 변화에 따라 변동하나 변동폭과 일교차가 작고 일정한 온습도를 유지하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 석빙고 전면의 산사면과 폐쇄된 입구환경이 외기를 차단하여 온습도의 변화를 최소화하였기 때문이다. 석빙고의 단열환경은 수분의 응축과 동결 현상을 방지하여 물리적 손상도를 저감하고 장빙기능을 극대화한 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 99% 이상의 높은 상대습도는 미생물의 생장을 활성화시켜 생물학적인 손상도를 높인 것으로 해석된다.
