Objectives: This study was conducted to estimate quartz concentrations in the airborne respirable dust from concrete manufacturing industries and to compare performance of two analytical methods, direct on filter(DOF) and the transfer methods in the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy(FTIR). Methods: Total 36 area samples were collected from 8 concrete manufacturing industries. Each respirable dust sample was collected by a 25 mm cassette attached to a 10 mm Dorr-Oliver nylon cyclone. The quartz content was estimated using the intensity of the absorption peak of quartz at $799cm^{-1}$ by FTIR. Results: By the comparison of quartz content in respirable dust between the two methods, the results of using DOF method were higher than that of transfer method. And the result of quartz concentrations in respirable dust estimated by DOF method were mostly higher than those by transfer method. Statistically significant difference of quartz concentrations in respirable dust were not found in shakeout, input, loading and transporting processes by two methods. But quartz concentrations in the molding process had the statistically significant difference between DOF and transfer method. Conclusions: The results of the study is suggested that, it be needed to correct the influence of the interferences in order to establish the DOF method when interfering minerals have an effect on quantitative analysis of quartz in respirable dust by the direct on filter method with FTIR.

현재 KS와 ASTM, BS 등에 규정되어 있는 블리딩 시험방법은 수직 원통 용기에 일정량의 모르타르를 채우고 시간이 경과함에 따라 변화하는 블리딩량과 부피팽창을 측정하는 방법이다. 블리딩 측정 시간은 KS에서는 3시간과 20시간으로 규정되어 있으며, ASTM과 BS에서는 블리딩은 타설 후 3시간에 측정하고 부피변화는 24시간 후에 측정하는 것으로 규정되어 있는 등 시험에 비교적 많은 시간이 소요되는 특징이 있다. 모르타르의 블리딩을 측정하는 또 다른 시험법으로 가압거름을 이용한 방법이 있다. 이는 압력을 가하여 미세한 직경의 공극을 가지는 필터를 통과하는 물의 양을 측정하는 방법으로 간접적으로 블리딩양을 예측하는 방법이다. 1971년 Schupack에 의해 고안된 방법으로 빠른 시간에 결과를 측정할 수 있다는 장점이 있는 반면, 아직 연구가 미흡하여 실험결과와 블리딩양과의 상관관계등에 대한 정립이 미흡한 상태이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 가압거름방법에 의한 시험 방법과 기존의 시험 방법을 비교하여 가압거름방법에 대한 타당성을 검증하고, 블리딩 양에 대한 상관관계를 도출하였다.

Extended Kalman Filter iterate the prediction and the filtering based on Initial state for the next time step. EKF method for the estimation of nonlinear parameters of a structural dynamic system is necessary that initial of state vector and error covariance matrix. Because those are unknown exactly, generally selected random values. That occasion observability problem appear because of unknown initial values. In this study, for the estimation of the nonlinear parameters, a simple one degree of Freedom example is carried out by Extended Kalman Filter. And initial value assumption for Parameter Estimation of Dynamic System are developed. The result of analysis is compared with calculated standard values.

In this paper, crack detection technique of concrete bridge is proposed robust against shadow and noise. Our technique consists of two steps. In the first step, crack candidate region is detected by preprocessing. Preprocessing techniques such as median filter, isolated point filter and morphological techniques, use utilized for detection of crack candidate regions. In the final step, crack is detected from crack candidate region by considering any connectivity between cracks. By experimental results, performance is improved 6.8% over the existing method.

In case of the drainage type tunnel, the residual water pressure is likely to act on the tunnel lining due to the decrease of water-passing capacity of the filter material. Therefore, this study discussions a method to predict the lining load with the consideration of water passing capacity of the filter material through the literature review and numerical analysis. It is expected from the results of case studies that the design load acting on the concrete lining in the drainage type tunnel could be assumed to be about 50% of the hydrostatic water pressure in steady-state ground-water condition.

The study is an image-based assessment that uses image processing techniques to determine the condition of concrete with surface cracks. The preparations of the dataset include resizing and image filtering to ensure statistical homogeneity and noise reduction. The image dataset is then segmented, making it more suited for extracting important features and easier to evaluate. The image is transformed into grayscale which removes the hue and saturation but retains the luminance. To create a clean edge map, the edge detection process is utilized to extract the major edge features of the image. The Otsu method is used to minimize intraclass variation between black and white pixels. Additionally, the median filter was employed to reduce noise while keeping the borders of the image. Image processing techniques are used to enhance the significant features of the concrete image, especially the defects. In this study, the tonal zones of the histogram and its properties are used to analyze the condition of the concrete. By examining the histogram, the viewer will be able to determine the information on the image through the number of pixels associated and each tonal characteristic on a graph. The features of the five tonal zones of the histogram which implies the qualities of the concrete image may be evaluated based on the quality of the contrast, brightness, highlights, shadow spikes, or the condition of the shadow region that corresponds to the foreground.

A sliding mode fuzzy control (SMFC) algorithm is applied to design a controller for a benchmark problem on a wind- excited building. The structure is a 76-story concrete office tower with a height of 306 meters, hence the wind resistance characteristics are very important for the serviceability as well as the safety. A control system with an active tuned mass damper is assumed to be installed on the top floor. Since the structural acceleration is measured only at ,limited number of locations without measurement of the wind force, the structure of the conventional continuous sliding mode control may have the feed-back loop only. So, an adaptive least mean squares (LMS) filter is employed in the SMFC algorithm to generate a fictitious feed-forward loop. The adaptive LMS filter is designed based on the information of the stochastic characteristics of the wind velocity along the structure. A numerical study is carried out. and the performance of the present SMFC with the ,adaptive LMS filter is investigated in comparison with those of' other control, of algorithms such as linear quadratic Gaussian control, frequency domain optimal control, quadratic stability control, continuous sliding mode control, and H/sub ∞///sub μ/, control, which were reported by other researchers. The effectiveness of the adaptive LMS filter is also examined. The results indicate that the present algorithm is very efficient .

Identification of the nonlinear hysteretic behavior of a reinforced concrete (RC) bridge pier subjected to earthquake loads is carried out based on acceleration measurements of the earthquake motion and bridge responses. The modified Takeda model is used to describe the hysteretic behavior of the RC pier with a small number of parameters, in which the nonlinear behavior is described in logical forms rather than analytical expressions. Hence, the modified extended Kalman filter is employed to construct the state transition matrix using a finite difference scheme. The sequential modified extended Kalman filter algorithm is proposed to identify the unknown parameters and the state vector separately in two steps, so that the size of the problem for each identification procedure may be reduced and possible numerical problems may be avoided. Mode superposition with a modal sorting technique is also proposed to reduce the size of the identification problem for the nonlinear dynamic system with multi-degrees of freedom. Example analysis is carried out for a continuous bridge with a RC pier subjected to earthquake loads in the longitudinal and transverse directions.
