Life-cycle performance analysis of a reinforced concrete box section bridge was generated. Moreover, Monte Carlo simulation with important sampling (IS) was used to simulate the bridge material and load uncertainties. The bridge deterioration model was generated with the basic probabilistic principles and updated according to the measurement data. A genetic algorithm (GA) with the response surface model (RSM) was used to determine the deterioration rate. The importance of health monitoring systems to sustain the bridge to give services economically and reliably and the advantages of fiber-optic sensors for SHM applications were discussed in detail. This study showed that the most effective loss of strength in reinforced concrete box section bridges is corrosion of the reinforcements. Due to reinforcement corrosion, the use of the bridge, which was examined, could not meet the desired strength performance in 25 years, and the need for reinforcement. In addition, it has been determined that long-term health monitoring systems are an essential approach for bridges to provide safe and economical service. Moreover the use of fiber optic sensors has many advantages because of the ability of the sensors to be resistant to environmental conditions and to make sensitive measurements.

철근콘크리트 구조물의 내구성 및 안전성은 콘크리트의 균열 및 강도와 더불어 철근의 배근상태나 콘크리트 피복 두께에 크게 의존한다. 콘크리트 내에 매립되어 있는 철근 정보를 정확히 파악하는 방법엔 국부 파괴법과 비파괴 철근 탐사 시험이 있다. 일반적으로 부재 손상을 최소화하기 위해 비파괴 철근 탐사 시험을 통해 파악하며, 비파괴 철근 탐사 시험에는 전자파레이더법, 전자기유도법, 방사선법 등이 있다. 콘크리트의 함수율과 온도는 콘크리트의 전기적 특성인 유전율에 영향을 미쳐 비파괴 철근 탐사 시험 결과에 간섭을 방생시킨다. 따라서 본연구에서는 콘크리트의 표면수율과 온도에 따라 전자파레이더법과 전자기유도법이 받는 영향을 분석하였다. 장비와 기술의 발달로 원리와 상관없이 24℃ 시험체에서는 평균 오차율이 5% 이하로 나타났으며 특히 전자기유도법의 경우 매우 높은 정확성을 갖는 것을 확인하였다. 전자파레이더법은 습윤상태보다 건조상태에서 상대적으로 오차율이 작은 특성을 나타내었으며, 고온에서는 다소 높은 오차율이 나타났다. 탐사 대상의 온도가 낮고 건조한 경우 전자파레이더법을 적용하고, 탐사 대상이 습윤상태이거나 고온에서는 전자기유도법을 사용하여 오차를 감소시킬 수 있음이 확인되었다.

본 연구는 겉보기 비저항 측정에 포함되는 주변 철근의 영향을 파악하기 위해 단근과 복근을 매립한 콘크리트 실험체를 제작하였다. 실험체는 중심에서부터 0.03m, 0.04m, 0.05m의 위치에 단근 또는 복근을 배근하고, 겉보기 비저항 측정은 실험체별 정해진 위치까지 0.01m의 간격으로 실시하였다. 모든 실험체는 철근의 상부위치에서 겉보기 비저항이 최저치를 보였고 복근 실험체는 단근에 비해 배근 중심위치에서 낮은 측정치를 나타내며 주변 철근의 영향이 측정 결과에 반영되었음을 보였다. 또한 배근 간격이 넓을수록 철근의 위치가 명확하게 구분되는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The aim of this study is to develop an analytical model of a beam with open cracks and external strengthening which is able to predict its modal scheme components (natural frequencies and mode shapes). The model is valid as far as the excitation level is low enough not to activate non linear effects. The application field of the model are either the prediction of the efficiency of the reinforcement or the non destructive assessment of the structural properties. The degrees of freedom associated to the fault lips must be taken into account in order to introduce the effect of the external strengthening. In a first step, an analytical formulation of a beam with thin notches is proposed according to the references. The model is then extended to incorporate the strengthening consisting in a longitudinal stiffness applied in the vicinity of the cracks. In a second step, the analytical results are compared with these obtained from a finite element simulation.

The deterioration caused by chloride penetration and carbonation plays a significant role in a concrete structure in a marine environment. The chloride corrosion in some marine concrete structures is invisible but can be dangerous in a sudden collapse. Therefore, as a novelty, this research investigates the ability of a non-destructive damage detection method named the Power Spectral Density (PSD) to diagnose damages caused only by chloride ions in concrete structures. Furthermore, the accuracy of this method in estimating the amount of annual damage caused by chloride in various parts and positions exposed to seawater was investigated. For this purpose, the RC Arosa bridge in Spain, which connects the island to the mainland via seawater, was numerically modeled and analyzed. As the first step, each element's bridge position was calculated, along with the chloride corrosion percentage in the reinforcements. The next step predicted the existence, location, and timing of damage to the entire concrete part of the bridge based on the amount of rebar corrosion each year. The PSD method was used to monitor the annual loss of reinforcement cross-section area, changes in dynamic characteristics such as stiffness and mass, and each year of the bridge structure's life using sensitivity equations and the linear least squares algorithm. This study showed that using different approaches to the PSD method based on rebar chloride corrosion and assuming 10% errors in software analysis can help predict the location and almost exact amount of damage zones over time.

This research covers the resting of precast/prestressed concrete I-Girder bridge. The research was designed to examine processes for improving the condition evaluation and rating of prestressed concrete bridge. To establish procedures that allow for the full utilization of prestressed concrete bridge capacity, a 28-year old sample was loaded to failure in site. The bridge was constructed with 12 spans, and girders of each span were simply supported. At each loading stage, the deflections, reinforcement strains, prestressing wire strains and concrete strains were examined. Failure behavior was analyzed, and failure load was also evaluated. The test results wee compared to the analytical results from the non-linear finite element analysis.

Gilt bronze locks(Treasure No. 1141) excavated from Hancheonsa temple are artifacts of Goryeo Dynasty. The locks underwent a conservation process from October 2001 to July 2002. The process included cleaning and the application of corrosion inhibitors, Benzotriazolesolution, as well as reinforcement treatment with Paraloid NAD-10 solution,an acrylic resin. Non-destructive XRF analysis unveil that the artifacts are made of an alloy of copper(Cu), tin(Sn) and lead(Pb), but the gilt layer is too thin to analyze the purity of the gold or the exact production method. Gilt bronze locks are important materials because they preserve all the structures of locks in Goryeo Dynasty to the smallest detail. The surface pattern is revealed through the conservation process and components of the alloy through material analysis.

Using non-destructive Acoustic Emission (AE) and optical Digital Image Correlation (DIC) methods, the moment-curvature behavior of steel and GFRP bars reinforced concrete beams under flexure was explored in this study. In the tension zone, laboratory studies were carried out on steel-RC and GFRP-RC beams with varying percentages of longitudinal reinforcement ratios of 0.33 %, 0.52%, and 1.11%. The distinct mechanism of cracking initiation and fracture progression of failure in steel-RC and GFRP-RC beams were effectively correlated and picked up using AE waveform characteristics of the number of AE hits and their amplitudes, AE energy as well as average frequency and duration. AE XY event plots and longitudinal strain profiles using DIC gives an online and real-time visual display of progressive AE activity and strains respectively to efficaciously depict the crack evolution and their advancement in steel-RC and GFRP-RC beams. They display a close matching with the micro and macro-cracks visually observed in the actual beams at various stages of loading.

펌프카는 콘크리트를 타설하는 장소에 필요한 만큼 운반하는 장비로, 짧은 시간에 많은 양의 콘크리트 타설하기 위해서는 펌프카를 사용하는 것이 경제성 및 품질관리 측면에 가장 효율적이다. 그러나 최근에는 콘크리트 타설중에 붐 파손으로 인한 인명피해가 많이 발생하고 있으므로 본 연구에서는 장비 제작단계, 노후장비에 대한 검사기준, 장비대여제도 등의 개선이 필요함을 제언한다. 그 이유는 펌프카의 유한요소해석 결과, 붐 2단에서 작용하는 상당응력과 붐상단에서 최대응력이 895.39MPa로 나타났고, M.S. 0.04로 가장 낮게 평가되었으므로 보강의 필요성을 인식했다. 그리고 2단계 붐은 1~5단계 붐대 중 가장 스트레스가 많고, 취약한 부분임을 확인했다. 따라서 설계 및 제작 단계에서 부재의 두께와 강성을 높이고, 현재 사용되는 장비의 강판에 대한 보강이 필요하다. 또한, 일반 건설기계 전체에 대한 비파괴 검사를 의무적으로 반영하고, 비파괴검사 및 정기검사시 붐대 결함 누락에 대한 책임을 검사기관에 부담시키는 제도 구축이 시급하다.

Two destructive earthquakes occurred on October 23 and November 9, 2011 in Van province of Turkey. The damage in residential units shows significant deviation from the expectation of decreasing damage with increasing distance to epicenter. The most damaged settlement Ercis has the same distance to the epicenter with Muradiye, where no damage occurred while relatively less damage observed in Van having half distance. These three cities seem to have resembling soil conditions. If the damages are evaluated: joint failures and insufficient lap splice lengths are observed to be the main causes of the total collapses in RC buildings. Additionally, low concrete strength, reinforcement detailing mistakes, soft story, heavy overhang, pounding and short columns are among other damage reasons. Examples of damages due to non-structural elements are also given. Remarkable points about seismic damages are: collapsed buildings with shear-walls, heavily damaged buildings despite adequate concrete strength due to detailing mistakes, undamaged two-story adobe buildings close to totally collapsed RC ones and undamaged structural system in buildings with heavily damaged non-structural elements. On the contrary of the common belief that buildings with shear-walls are immune to total collapse among civil engineers, collapse of Gedikbulak primary school is a noteworthy example.
