Steel structure construction is currently increasing on account of the many merits of steel structures. Due to numerous environmental factors, many cracks and extensive corrosion occur in steel structures, which cause the deterioration of the performance and life cycle of such structures. Maintenance of steel structures is thus strongly demanded, for safety control. The inspection methods that are currently being used, however, are very limited and can detect only local defects in steel structures. They also take much time to use and incur high maintenance costs. Moreover, such methods cannot be applied to huge steel structures, which men find unapproachable. They also require much time due to the need for periodic checks, and may lead to cost loss. Therefore, the development of a monitoring system that can detect defects in whole structures and can reduce the repair and strengthening costs at an early stage is very much needed. In this study, the generation and propagation of cracks were monitored via the electric-potential-drop method (EPDM).

우리나라에서 가장 심각한 자연재해가 홍수재해이므로, 홍수기에 홍수예보를 하는 것은 매우 중요한 일이다. 홍수예보를 위한 예측 과정은 강우예측과 유출해석부분으로 크게 나눌 수가 있는데, 강우를 정확하게 예측하는 일은 주로 정교한 강우모형과 기상학자들의 몫으로 남겨놓는다고 하더라도 정확한 유출해석은 오랜 동안 수문학자들에게 중요한 고민거리였으며, 특히 우리나라와 같이 홍수재해에 취약한 지역에서는 더욱 간절한 문제가 되었다. 우리나라에서는 국가하천을 대상으로 홍수예보모형을 개발하여 하천의 주요지점에 대한 홍수예보를 시행하고 있으며, 매년 보다 정확하고 신속한 예보를 통해 피해를 줄이기 위해 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전역최적화기법인 SCE-UA방법을 이용하여 홍수예보모형의 매개변수의 최적화를 수행하였다. 그러나 최적화기법에 의해 제안된 매개변수들이 강우-유출모형이나 유역의 물리적인 특성을 반영하지 못한다는 비판을 피하기 위해 다단계의 최적화를 통해 유역의 물리적인 특성을 반영하면서도 유출수문곡선을 성공적으로 재현하는 매개변수를 제안하고, 각 매개변수가 가지는 의미를 평가하여 실무에서 홍수예보업무의 효율을 높이는데 도움을 주는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 연구를 위해 매개변수의 민감도 분석을 수행하고, 민감도에 따라 최적화 하는 방법을 다르게 적용하였다. 또한 유역의 물리적인 특성을 나타내는 매개변수와 강우의 특성에 따라 변화하는 매개변수를 구분하여, 유역별 다른 매개변수의 범위를 제안하였다. 제안된 매개변수는 검증을 통하여 적용성을 확인하였으며, 유역별 다양한 특성을 성공적으로 나타내었다.

The objective of this study is to develop the relational formula to estimate the streamflow depletion due to groundwater pumping near stream, which has been statistically derived by using the simulated data. The integrated surface water and groundwater model, SWAT-MODFLOW was applied to the Sinduncheon and Juksancheon watersheds to obtain the streamflow depletion data under various pumping conditions. Through the multiple regression analyses for the simulated streamflow depletion data, the relational formula between the streamflow depletion rate and various factors such as pumping rate, distance between well and stream, hydraulic properties in/near stream, amount of rainfall was obtained. The derived relational formula is easy to apply for assessing the effects of groundwater pumping on near stream, and is expected to be a tool for estimate the streamflow contribution to the pumped water.

This study is that MD-FDA and the existing method were applied together the outlet project under the construction in the Gulpo River basin. The results of both of them mot the economic feasibility of the Project. But, MD-FDA evaluated the suitable damage according to situations; 1) without project, 2) after 20m outlet construction, 3) after 80m outlet construction. That is, MD-FDA could exactly evaluate the Annual Expected Flood Damage by considering the characteristics to the inundated area. If M-FDA may use in the flood control projects, the projects will be able to be taken into account all characteristics of the total damage area and performed by reasonable criteria.

Recently, drivers have begun to regard comfort in the cabin as one of the most important factors in construction equipment like forklifts. Accordingly, it has become more important to design a forklift cabin with a better sound quality as well as lower sound level, which can make a driver more comfortable. In this paper, the correlation between subjective evaluation and Zwicker's sound quality index was analyzed through a blind test by a few workers in forklifts and other construction equipment in several countries. Correlation analysis showed that Loudness and Sharpness were ranked in sequence, and tendencies were different from country to country. Also, contribution analysis for Loudness and Sharpness using operational transfer path analysis (OTPA), which is widely used in the field of noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), was performed. However, Loudness and Sharpness cannot be used with OTPA directly because there are no linear relationships between the sources and receivers. In this paper, both are calculated by applying the DIN 45631 method with a contribution rate (%) of 1/3 Octave Sound Pressure Level by OTPA method in addition to considering spectral masking.

PHC-W retaining wall method is one of the economical retaining wall methods. PHC-W pile used in PHC-W retaining wall method has special shape with flat surfaces so that the PHW-C retaining wall, with overlapped piles, shows outstanding vertical control and impermeability. In order to evaluate two types of retaining walls, numerical analysis were performed. The selection of cases depended on N values of the ground and ground properties, and two types of PHC-W retaining walls (defined as type A and B) were constructed. For a case that consists of inorganic clay and sand with less than 30 of N value, the maximum excavation depths for type A and B were respectively 10.5 m and 11.0 m. At the other case of which N value is above 30, the depths were 17.0 m and 19.5 m. From the results, it was found that maximum excavation depth, horizontal displacement, and safety factor for flexural strength of the wall were influenced by ground properties.

Malaysia, as a tropical rainforest country, enjoys an abundance of bamboo plant that proliferate throughout the country. The application of geopolymer technology has become a trend and preserve the environment from harm. Fly ash geopolymer concrete has low early strength and requires 24 hours for the concrete to harden. Thus, the presence of calcium and potassium content in bamboo ash could remedy this problem. Besides, there is no research regarding the use of bamboo ash as a binder in geopolymer concrete. Therefore, the presence of bamboo ash could improve the research field with the use of agriculture waste in a building construction. This research aim is to use bamboo ash in the production of fly ash geopolymer concrete. The specimens were casted in $100mm{\times}100mm{\times}100mm$ cubes and sodium based activator were used as the alkaline solutions. The binders are formulated with different binder ratio. All test specimens were cured at ambient temperature ($23^{\circ}C-25^{\circ}C$) and 100% fly ash was chosen as control specimen. To determine the mechanical properties of fly sh geopolymer concrete with the presence of bamboo ash, compressive strength test was conducted. The test results depicted that as the percentage of bamboo ash decreases, compressive strength increases. Also, the addition of 5% of bamboo ash into fly ash geopolymer concrete could improve the early strength in 7 days. The results were proven with the result explained by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Therefore, it can be concluded that the addition of bamboo ash improved the properties of fly ash geopolymer concrete at early ages.

Main cable configurations under final dead load and in the unloaded state and critical construction parameters (e.g. unstrained cable length, unstrained hanger lengths, and pre-offsets for tower saddles and splay saddles) are the core considerations in the design and construction control of a suspension bridge. For the purpose of accurate calculations, it is necessary to take into account the effects of cable strands over the anchor spans, arc-shaped saddle top, and tower top pre-uplift. In this paper, a method for calculating the cable configuration under final dead load over a main span, two side spans, and two anchor spans, coordinates of tangent points, and unstrained cable length are firstly developed using conditions for mechanical equilibrium and geometric relationships. Hanger tensile forces and unstrained hanger lengths are calculated by iteratively solving the equations governing hanger tensile forces and the cable configuration, which gives careful consideration to the effect of hanger weight. Next, equations for calculating the cable configuration in the unloaded state and pre-offsets of saddles are derived from the cable configuration under final dead load and the conditions for unstrained cable length to be conserved. The equations for the main span, two side spans and two anchor spans are then solved simultaneously. In the proposed methods, coupled nonlinear equations are solved by turning them into an unconstrained optimization problem, making the procedure simplified. The feasibility and validity of the proposed methods are demonstrated through a numerical example.
