PURPOSES : The piezoelectric energy road analysis technology using a three-dimensional finite element method was developed to investigate pavement behaviors when piezoelectric energy harvesters and a new polyurethane surface layer were installed in field conditions. The main purpose of this study is to predict the long-term performance of the piezoelectric energy road through the proposed analytical steps. METHODS : To predict the stresses and strains of the piezoelectric energy road, the developed energy harvesters were embedded into the polyurethane surface layer (50 mm from the top surface). The typical type of triaxial dump truck loading was applied to the top of each energy harvester. In this paper, a general purpose finite element analysis program called ABAQUS was used and it was assumed that a harvester is installed in the cross section of a typical asphalt pavement structure. RESULTS : The maximum tensile stress of the polyurethane surface layer in the initial fatigue model occurred up to 0.035 MPa in the transverse direction when the truck tire load was loaded on the top of each harvester. The maximum tensile stresses were 0.025 MPa in the intermediate fatigue model and 0.013 MPa in the final fatigue model, which were 72% and 37% lower than that of the initial stage model, respectively. CONCLUSIONS : The main critical damage locations can be estimated between the base layer and the surface layer. If the crack propagates, bottom-up cracking from the base layer is the main cracking pattern where the tensile stress is higher than in other locations. It is also considered that the possibility of cracking in the top-down direction at the edge of energy harvester is more likely to occur because the material strength of the energy harvester is much higher and plays a role in the supporting points. In terms of long-term performance, all tensile stresses in the energy harvester and polyurethane layer are less than 1% of the maximum tensile strength and the possibility of fatigue damage was very low. Since the harvester is embedded in the surface layer of the polyurethane, which has higher tensile strength and toughness, it can assure a good, long-term performance.

고령화 사회에 접어들면서 거동이 어려운 장애인과 고령자의 개인 교통수단에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있다. 실제로 2017년 기준 전국 전동보장구 보급수는 9만여 대로 지속해서 증가하는 추세다. 하지만 장애인 및 고령자의 판단 능력과 조정 능력은 정상인보다 상대적으로 차이가 있는 관계로 주행 중 사고 발생의 가능성이 크다. 다양한 사고의 원인 중 하나는 도로 노면상태의 불균형으로 인해 개인 이동 수단 조향 제어의 간섭이다. 본 논문에서는 이 같은 사고를 예방하고자 도로 노면 상태를 고속으로 인지할 수 있는 암호화 형식 의미론적 분할 알고리즘을 소개한다. 이를 위하여 도로 노면 파손이 포함된 1,500여 장의 학습용 데이터와 150여 장의 테스트용 데이터를 새롭게 구성하였다. 그리고 이를 활용하여 기존의 Encoder와 Decoder 단계로 구성된 Auto-encoder 방식과 달리 Encoder 단계로 이루어진 심층 신경망을 제안하였다. 이 심층 신경망은 기존의 방식과 비교했을 때 평균 정확도(Mean Accuracy)는 4.45% 증가하였고 파라미터는 59.2% 감소하였으며 연산 속도는 11.9% 향상되었다. 이 같은 고속 알고리즘을 활용하여 안전한 개인 이동 수단이 확대 적용되길 기대한다.

The quality of the surface layer in concrete structures plays an important role in the durability of the concrete. The concrete factory products are made as they improve the appearance of the surface and compressive strength in need. A common criterion to judge the quality of concrete products frequently seen in our daily life appears to be "beauty" in terms of consistent shaping. However, as for most concrete curb in such areas where a large amount of anti-freezing agents(NaCl) and ice and snow melting agents(CaCl2) are spread over roads to ensure road safety during the winter season, since deterioration advances from the surface, scaling is seen on the surface concrete due to deterioration which combined freezing damage and salt damage. Especially, In cold northern districts, the spreading amount of deicing salts increases by regulation of studded tire use, and the scaling of the concrete products, the various parts of concrete structures for roads is increasing in recent years. In this study, L-shape concrete curb were targeted, the permeable form method with the commercial permeable sheet was applied to it and the improvements of the quality were examined. By the permeable form method, surface layers got strengthened, which prevented permeation of the deterioration factor from the outside, and the scaling resistance of the upper surface where the permeable sheet was applied improved exceedingly. It will be expected by applying the permeable form method to various concrete products that frost resistance improves and scaling damage decreases.

Among the destruction instances of half-through arch bridges, the shorter hangers are more likely to be ruined. For a thorough investigation of the hanger system durability, we have studied vehicle impact effect on hangers with vehicle-bridge coupling method for a half-through concrete-filled-steel-tube arch bridge. A numerical method has been applied to simulate the variation of dynamic internal force (stress) in hangers under different vehicle speeds and road surface roughness. The characteristics and differences in impact effect among hangers with different length (position) are compared. The impact effect is further analyzed comprehensively based on the vehicle speed distribution model. Our results show that the dynamic internal force induced by moving vehicles inside the shorter hangers is significantly greater than that inside the longer ones. The largest difference of dynamic internal force among the hangers could be as high as 28%. Our results well explained a common phenomenon in several hanger damage accidents occurred in China. This work forms a basis for hanger system's fatigue analysis and service life evaluation. It also provides a reference to the design, management, maintenance, monitoring, and evaluation for this kind of bridge.

본 연구는 본격적인 목재수확시기에 대응하여 대형화되어 가는 목재운송차량의 원활한 통행과 노체 피해 방지를 위해 산림기술경영연구소 관내 연약지반을 대상으로 토목섬유를 활용한 노반 조성 후 시간경과에 따른 노면지지력 변화와 대형 목재운송차량의 통행 횟수 증가에 따른 노면지지력 및 침하량 변화를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 노반 조성구간의 경우 약 1년의 시간경과 후 노면지지력이 양호판정기준인 CBR 15% 이상으로 안정화 되어 가는 것으로 나타났으며, 토목섬유별 처리효과는 큰 차이를 보이지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 노반 조성구간에서 대형 목재운송차량의 통행이 최대 300회 이루어진 이후에는 침하량이 허용기준 50 mm 이하로 안정되고, 노면지지력 또한 CBR 20% 이상으로 향상되는 것으로 나타났으며 노반의 두께별로는 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그러나 토목섬유를 활용한 노반을 조성하지 않은 구간에서는 허용기준 이상의 침하와 함께 노면의 지지력은 대형 목재운송차량의 통행이 불가능한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 대형목재운송차량의 통행을 위한 연약지반의 노면지지력 보강을 위해서는 토목섬유를 부설하고 노반을 최소 0.2 m 이상 조성하는 것이 필요하다.

The freight vehicle is mostly used to transport the fruit. Shock and impact generated by the freight vehicle may give serious damage to fruits hence to reduce the fruits damage, the optimum packaging design during transportation by vehicle is required. In order to design the packaging system for fruit transportation optimally, the comprehension of characteristic for vibration and shock acting on vehicles under various road conditions and loading methods is required. This research was performed to analyze the shock characteristics, acceleration level and power spectral density (PSD) of the fruit transportation vehicles under several travel roads and positions. The vibration signal was measured and analyzed at the transportation vehicle operating on the road of three different surface conditions. The maximum acceleration was measured at the rear-end of the vehicle, and the acceleration in the direction of up-and-down (z-axis) was much greater than those in the directions of back-and-forth (x-axis) or right-and-left (y-axis). The peak acceleration in the direction of up-and-down (z-axis) at the vehicle driving on the expressway, the local road paved with concrete, and unpaved local road were 5.3621 G, 8.232 G, and 14.162 G respectively. PSD at 2.44 Hz showed maximum value at all road conditions. The maximum values of PSD on the expressway, a local road paved with concrete, and unpaved local road were 0.0075222 $G^2/Hz$, 0.058655 $G^2/Hz$, and 0.24598 $G^2/Hz$ respectively. The value of PSD decreased with an increase of the vibration frequency of the transportation vehicle. In most cases, the vibration frequency was below 20 Hz during transportation.

The quasi-static component of the moving vehicle-induced dynamic response is promising in damage detection as it is sensitive to bridge damage but insensitive to environmental changes. However, accurate extraction of quasi-static component from the dynamic response is challenging especially when the vehicle velocity is high. This paper proposes an adaptive quasi-static component extraction method based on the modified variational mode decomposition (VMD) algorithm. Firstly the analytical solutions of the frequency components caused by road surface roughness, high-frequency dynamic components controlled by bridge natural frequency and quasi-static components in the vehicle-induced bridge response are derived. Then a modified VMD algorithm based on particle swarm algorithm (PSO) and mutual information entropy (MIE) criterion is proposed to adaptively extract the quasi-static components from the vehicle-induced bridge dynamic response. Numerical simulations and real bridge tests are conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed extraction method. The results indicate that the improved VMD algorithm could extract the quasi-static component of the vehicle-induced bridge dynamic response with high accuracy in the presence of the road surface roughness and measurement noise.
