A test method for assessing service life of building materials and components based on performance degradation data is developed. The performance of a building material degrades as time goes by and the failure of the material is often defined as the point at which the performance of the material reaches a pre-specified degraded level. A performance-based test method is developed and a numerical example is provided to illustrate the use of the developed test method.

The creep life fraction can be evaluated by the degree of grain deformation since the grain of Cr-Mo base metal deforms in the direction of stress. The grain deformation method using image processing technique is developed for life assessment of in-service high-temperature components. The new assessment model of grain deformation method is presented to apply to in-service components and is verified by interrupted creep test for ex-serviced material of 1Cr-0.5Mo steel. The proposed model, which is irrespective of stress direction, is to evaluate mean of the absolute deviation for the measured ratios which are diametrical maximum to minimum dimensions for grains.

구조물의 수명관리는 일반적으로 불확실성의 효율적 고려를 위해 신뢰성 이론을 적용한다. 전체 구조시스템의 신뢰성 평가는 구조요소의 신뢰성 평가와 구조시스템의 모델링을 통해 이루어진다. 구조시스템은 신뢰도에 대한 구조요소의 역할과 기여도를 고려하여 모델링 된다. 따라서, 구조시스템의 신뢰도는 구조요소의 모델링과 구조요소의 상관관계에 따라 서로 다른 결과를 제시하게 된다. 최초 구조시스템의 신뢰도 평가와 열화요소를 반영한 구조시스템의 수명 평가를 바탕으로 생애주기 비용 최소화와 관련된 목적함수를 가지는 최적화 과정을 통해 수명관리가 이루어진다. 본 논문에서는 구조시스템을 구성하는 구조요소의 상관관계와 더불어 기존의 연구에서 고려된 바 없는 유지보수 간의 상관관계에 따른 수명평가 영향분석을 수행하며, 이를 통해 향후 좀 더 효율적인 수명관리 기법 개발에 활용하고자 한다. 또한, 예방유지보수와 필수유지보수를 모두 고려하며, 유지보수간 독립 상태와 완전상관 상태에 따른 수명 예측 및 최적화 유지보수 계획 수립을 비교 제시한다.

Field and accelerated tests are performed to assess the service life of construction sealants. Mathematical degradation models for tensile strength and elongation, that are the two major performance characteristics of sealants, are derived from the test results. Accelerated degradation test methods for assessing service life of construction sealants are developed based on the degrading performance and a numerical example is provided.

This paper presents the prediction of remaining service life of the concrete due to steel corrosion caused by the following three cases; carbonation, using sea sand and using deicing salts. The assessment of initiation period was generalized considering the existing perdiction models in the literature, corrosion experiment and field assessment. To evaluate the prediction equation of rust growth, the corrosion accelerating experiments was performed. The polarization resistance was measured by potentiostat and the conversion coefficient of polarzation resistance to corrosion rate was determined by the measurement of real mass loss. Chloride content, carbonation, cover depth, relative humidity, water-cement ratio(W/C), and the use of deicing salts were taken into account and the resulting prediction equation of rust growth was proposed on the basis of these properties. The proposed equation is to predict the rust growth during any specified period of time and be effective in particular for predicting service life of concrete in the case of using sea sand.

The lack of safety of bridge deck structures causes frequent repair and strengthening of such structures. The repair induces great loss of economy, not only due to direct cost by repair, but also due to stopping the public use of such structures during repair. The major reason for this frequent repair is mainly due to the lack of realistic and accurate assessment system for the bridge decks. The purpose of the present research was to develop a realistic expert system, called Bridge Slab-Expert which can evaluate reasonably the condition as well as the service life of concrete bridge decks, based on the deterioration models that are derived from both the structural and environmental effects. The diagnosis assessment of deck slabs due to structural and environmental effects are developed based on the cracking in concrete, surface distress and structural distress. Fuzzy logic is utilized to handle uncertainties and imprecision involved. Finally, Bridge Slab-Expert is developed for prediction of safety and remaining service life based on the chloride ions penetration and fick's second law. Proposed expert system is based on user-friendly GUI environment. The developed expert system will allow the correct diagnosis of concrete decks, realistic prediction of service life, the determination of confidence level, the description of condition and the proposed action for repair.

Evaluating service lives of rubber materials at certain temperatures requires a destructive method (typically using elongation at break). In this study, a non-destructive method based on hardness change rate was proposed for evaluating the service life of chloroprene rubber (CR). Compared to the destructive method, this non-destructive method ensures homogeneity of CR specimens and requires a small number of samples. Thermal accelerated degradation test was conducted on the CR specimens at 55, 70, 85, 100, and 125℃, and the tensile strength, elongation at break, and hardness were measured. The results of the experiment were compared to those of the accelerated life evaluation method proposed in this study. Comparing the analyzed lives in the high temperature region (70, 85, 100, and 125℃), the difference between the service lives for the destructive method (using the elongation at break) and non-destructive method (using the hardness) was approximately 0.1 year. Therefore, it was confirmed that the proposed non-destructive evaluation method based on hardness changes can evaluate the actual life of CR under thermally accelerated degradation conditions.

상수도시설은 운영관리 환경, 사용범위, 빈도 등 특성에 따라 수명이 달라지며, 현행 법률에서 일률적으로 정하고 있는 내용연수와 차별된 접근이 필요함에 따라, 시설의 파손, 보수이력 등 관리현황 및 시설의 경시적인 변화 상태를 조사 분석하여 기술적 판단을 토대로 한 수명평가 방안이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내외 내용연수 적용현황과 시설별 내용연수 산정 방안, 외국의 상수도시설물 관리 방법, 기존 관로 상태평가 기준 수립을 위한 현황 등을 조사하고, 매설 상수관로에 현장조사를 수행하여, 상수관로의 물리적인 파손위험성과 사고이력을 기반으로 경제적 가치 기준에 의한 잔존수명 평가 기법을 개발하였다. 또한 기존 우리 공사의 노후도 기법을 물리적인 노후진척에 따른 상태변화와 실측 데이터를 활용하여 통계적인 분석을 통하여 평가항목은 축소하고, 신뢰도는 제고하였으며, 관 상태평가를 통해서 합리적인 개량계획 수립을 추진할 수 있도록 관상태평가 가이드라인을 개발하였다.

This paper presents the evaluation of fatigue life for a journal box attached to rolling stock bogie under random dynamic loading condition. Because a journal box was under random dynamic loading conditions, the fatigue life assessment due to these loads requires the analysis considering the multiaxial effect of random dynamic loading. To do this work, the finite element analysis has been conducted to calculate random dynamic response using multiaxial acceleration data. Then, the fatigue life assessment of component has been conducted using vibration fatigue analysis applying the power spectral densities of the responses obtained through the FEA The results of fatigue life assessment were compared to the damage from the strain measurement. This study shows that can be evaluated the fatigue life assessment considering real service condition about a component attached to rolling stock bogie.
