Abstract
Recently, in the engineering area, there is an increasing need for researchers at a distance to share the result of the experiment, without having to visit the experiment facilities. Especially in the civil engineering, researchers feel the need for participating in a experiment conducted at a distant location. In addition, it is suggested that high-cost facilities should be used by remote researchers thereby increasing the utilization rate. This paper proposes a remote experiment environment in civil engineering that are being developed in a project called Korea Construction Engineering Development(KOCED), which connects major civil engineering experiment facilities using grid technology, allows researchers to participate in a remote experiment, and has the experiment results shared by remote researchers automatically. Then, based on the suggested environment, we designed a hybrid test facility that involves two physical experiment facility sites and one numerical simulation site that are geographically apart. Then, we implemented its prototype and ran some tests, which showed a possibility of grid-based civil engineering experiment.
