A significant deficiency of most computer models used for stream floodplain analysis, is that the locations of structures impacted by flood waters, such as roads, buildings, and bridges, cannot be effectively compared to the floodplain location. The purpose of this study is the integration of the HEC River Analysis System(HEC-RAS) with ArcView geographic information system to develop a regional model for floodplain determination and representation. Also this study presents to enable two- and three-dimensional floodplain mapping and analysis in the ArcView. The methodology is applied to a Yeoju of Kyunggi-do, located in South Han River Basin. A digital terrain model is synthesized from HEC-RAS cross-sectional data and a digital elevation model of the study area. The flood plain data developed in ArcView was imported into HEC-RAS where it was combined with the field surveyed channel data in order to construct full floodplain cross sections that reflected accurate channel and overbank data for the HEC-RAS model. The flood plain limits could be expressed more accurately on ArcView by using water level data to be computed in HEC-RAS program. The computed water surface elevations and information of cross-section must be manually plotted in order to delineate floodplains. The resulting of this study provided a good representation of the general landscape and contained additional detail within the stream channel. Overall, the results of the study indicate that GIS combined with HEC-RAS is proven to be very useful and efficient for the automatic generation of flood maps, and an effective environment for floodplain mapping and analysis.

This paper is to determine the possibility of re-using waste concrete from Incheon city area. The strength test was conducted with five aggregate compounds which was replaced a natural aggregate with recycled aggregate. After checking the physical characteristics of recycled aggregate compounds, the mix design of recycled concrete was conducted. For the relatively comparison between natural and recycled compounds, while the unit aggregate weight was changed, other conditions were fixed. The freezing and thawing test which included fly-ash and super-plastezer were performed to check the durability and workability when recycling waste concrete. In the physical characteristics of recycled aggregate, it was found that the specific gravity of recycled coarse aggregate and recycled fine aggregate satisfied the first grade of recycle specification(KS), and all compounds of recycled aggregate also satisfied the second grade of absorption specification, Especially up to the 50% substitution of recycled aggregate is equal to or a bit lower than that of convention aggregate. In comparison with conventional concrete, the recycled concrete is lower than maximum by 7% in compressive strength decreasing rate after freezing-thawing test. From now, although most of recycled concrete was used to the building lot, subgrade, asphalt admixture, through the result. It was proved that possibility of re-using recycled aggregate as the substructure of bridge, retaining wall, tunnel lining and concrete structure which is not attacked the drying shrinkage severely.

Most of the concrete bridge structures are exposed to damage due to the excessive traffic loading and the aging of the structure. The damage of concrete causes the further deterioration of the function in the concrete structure due to corrosion of the reinforced bars and decohesion between the concrete and the reinforced bar. The quick rehabilitation of the damaged concrete structures has become of great importance in the concrete structural system in order to avoid the further deterioration of the structures. Recently fiber sheets are used for strengthening the damaged concrete structures due to its many advantages such as its durability, non-corrosive nature, low weight, ease of application, cost saving, control of crack propagation, strength to thickness ratio, high tensile strength, serviceability and aesthetic. However, the lack of analytical procedures for assessing the nominal moment capacity by the fiber sheet reinforcement leads to difficulties in the effective process of decisions of the factors in the strengthening procedure. In this work, flexural strengthening effects by fiber sheets bonded on bottom face of the member are studied for the reinforced concrete T beam. In addition, auxiliary flexural strengthening effects by U-type fiber sheets bonded on bottom and side faces of the member to prevent delamination of the bottom fiber sheet are theoretically investigated. The analytical solutions are compared with experimental results of several references to verify the proposed approach. It is shown that the good agreements between the predicted results and experimental data are obtained.

To predict the time-dependent behavior of concrete structures, the models which describe the time-dependent characteristics of concrete, i.e. creep and shrinkage are required. However, there must be significant differences between the displacements that are obtained using the given creep and shrinkage models and the measured displacements, because of the uncertainties of creep and shrinkage model itself and those of environmental condition. There are some efforts to reduce these error or uncertainties by using the model which are obtained from creep test for the concrete in construction site. Nevertheless, the predicted values from this model may be still different from the actual values due to the same reason. This study aimed to propose a method of estimating the creep coefficient from the measured displacements of concrete structure, where creep model uncertainty factor was considered as an error factor of creep model. Numerical validation for double composite steel box and concrete beam showed desirable feasibility of the presented method. Consideration of the time-dependent characteristics of creep as one of the error factors make it possible to predict long-term behaviors of concrete structures more realistically, especially long-span PSC girder bridges and concrete cable-stayed bridges of which major problem is the geometry control under construction and maintenance.

In this study, A series of fatigue tests have been performed on the fillet welded joints of cover plates in steel plate girders in order to quantitatively assess the fatigue characteristics according to the shapes of cover plates. From the results of fatigue tests, it has been shown that the fatigue strengths were slightly different according to their shapes, but satisfied the fatigue design curves in Korea and other countries. Also, from the results of beachmark tests, it has been confirmed that the points of fatigue crack initiation were closely related to the shapes of weld bead toes, and fatigue cracks simultaneously initiated from several points in weld bead toes have been grown as semi-elliptical surface cracks, and these cracks have been coalesced each other, and grown as through thickness cracks, and finally reached to fracture. Besides, from the results of fracture mechanics approaches, stress gradient factors were the most dominant factors among crack correction factors obtained from the existing equations and finite element analysis, and the fatigue life on fillet welded joints of cover plates could be estimated using the relations between fatigue crack growth rate and stress intensity factor range obtained from finite element analysis.

Development of new concrete bridge deck system with FRP plank using as a permanent formwork and the main tensile reinforcement recently has been actively conducted. Concurrent use as a reinforcing material and a permanent formwork, it is possible to reduce the construction time and construction costs than the usual concrete slab. In this study, an experiment was carried out for the bond stress between cast-in-place concrete and the type of FRP plank using as a permanent formwork. The interfacial fracture energy that can be one of the most important parameters were evaluated for adhesion performance and bond stress to know the characteristics of the failure mechanism of the adhesion surface. Interfacial fracture energy of normal concrete is 0.24kN/m of GF11 case, in the case of GF21, 0.43kN/m appears, in the case of CF11 and GF31, 0.44kN/m and 0.46kN/m respectively it appeared. In case of RFCON, 0.52kN/m appears from GF12, the CF12 and GF22, 0.51kN/m and 0.36kN/m appeared each case.

This paper examines the ASCE first generation benchmark problem for a seismically excited cable-stayed bridge, and proposes a new semi-active control strategy focusing on inclusion of effects of control-structure interaction. This benchmark problem focuses on a cable-stayed bridge in Cope Girardeau, Missouri, USA, for which construction is expected to be completed in 2003. Seismic considerations were strongly considered in the design of this bridge due to the location of the bridge in the New Madrid seismic zone and its critical role as a principal crossing of the Mississippi River. In this paper, magnetorheological(MR) fluid dampers are proposed as the supplemental damping devices, and a clipped-optimal control algorithm is employed. Several types of dynamic models for MR fluid dampers, such as a Bingham model, a Bouc-Wen model, and a modified Bouc-Wen model, are considered, which are obtained from data based on experimental results for full-scale dampers. Because the MR fluid damper is a controllable energy-dissipation device that cannot add mechanical energy to the structural system, the proposed control strategy is fail-safe in that bounded-input, bounded-output stability of the controlled structure is guaranteed. Numerical simulation results show that the performance of the proposed semi-active control strategy using MR fluid dampers is quite effective.

Corrosion of steel in the reinforced concrete structures is one of the main reason of degradation. It causes that lifetime of structures is shortened and maintenance cost is increased. And it also causes degradation of structures like bridges which are under repeated load. So, many research have been performed about FRP rebar. But there are few research about FRP rebar under fatigue. This study is to examine flexural characteristic of concrete beam reinforced with FRP(CFRP, GFRP) rebar under static and fatigue for considering the application. The specimens that used in this study are designed by ACI 440.1R-06 and reinforced with CFRP(CR) or GFRP(GR) overly. In the result of static bending test, all specimens were failed at compression phase. In fatigue test, the fatigue stress level was 60%, 70% or 80% of the static bending strength. Most of the specimens seemed to be compressive failure, but CR-60 and CR-70 specimens were failed with rupturing of tension bar.

하천 환경의 변화는 자연적으로 일어나기도 하지만, 우리나라 경우 대부분 하천 정비, 골재 채취, 수중보와 하구둑 등 하천시설물의 건설, 그리고 댐 및 교량건설 등 인위적인 요인에 의한 변화가 지배적이다 이렇게 환경이 변화하면 하천의 평형 상태는 파괴되며 하천의 평형 상태를 복원하는 과정에서 하천의 침식 또는 퇴적이 일어나며 이러한 과정의 총체적인 결과로서 하상변동이 일어나게 된다. 하상변동은 단기적인 면에서는 하천에서의 취수, 배수, 주운동 하천관리에 직접적인 영향을 주며, 장기적인 면에서는 하천시설물의 안정, 홍수위 및 지하수위 변화, 홍수터와 같은 하천부지의 변화 등 하천 및 유역 관리에 광범위한 영향을 주고 있다 하천의 유황 및 하상재료의 인위적인 변화에 의한 장기적인 하상변동 효과를 예측하고 분석하는 것은 하천계획 및 관리 면에서 매우 중요하다. 또한 하천 정비사업 등에 의한 영향을 제대로 평가하기 위해서는 비교적 단기간의 홍수 또는 호우 사상에 대한 단기적인 하상변동 효과를 정확하게 예측하는 것은 필수적이다. 외국에서는 하상변동 예측의 필요성을 일찍이 인식하여 다수의 하상변동 예측모형이 개발되어 하천 실무에 사용되고 있으며, 국내에서도 하천 흐름의 등수 역학적 해석을 위해 여러 가지 수치 기법들에 대한 연구가 진행되고 발전되어져 왔다. 현재 국내에서는 측량 자료이용과 모형적용의 용이성을 이유로 1차원 점변 부정류 해석프로그램인 HEC-RAS 모형을 많이 사용하고 있으며 대부분의 하천 정비 기본계획 수립에 있어서도 1차원 해석 모형을 적용하고 있는 실정이다. 국내에 서 수행된 하상변동 예측에 관한 연구들은 대부분 1차원 모형이므로 하천의 사행의 진행이나 유사의 횡방향 분포 등은 고려할 수 없다. 또한 하상변동 계산 시 이동상 부분의 전체가 균일하게 상승 또는 하향하는 것으로 가정하기 때문에 흐름이 급변하는 데 적용하는 것은 적합하지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 4대강살리기 사업이 진행중인 낙동강유역 구미보지점을 대상으로 2차원 흐름 및 하상변동 수치모형인 CCHE2D 모형을 적용하여 50년, 100년, 200년 빈도별로 모의를 실시, 보설치 전 후의 하상변동을 비교 분석 하였다. 모의 결과 보설치 후의 경우 보 상류단은 전반적으로 퇴적의 양상을 보였으며, 보 하류단의 만곡부의 경우 홍수량이 증가함에 따라 유속 및 소류력이 비슷한 패턴으로 증가하여 침식이 관찰되었다. 특히 보 직하류의 경우 수문을 기준으로 다량의 침식이 있음을 보였으며, 침식이 계속 진행된다면 보유실과 같은 심각한 결과를 초래할 수 있기 때문에 침식을 방지 할 수 있는 다양한 장치가 마련되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, we have constructed a measuring system to investigate tensile stress measurement of tendons, which is employed in bridges, by means of the non-destructive and non-contact method. The measuring system consists of tensile stress applying apparatus up to 2 GPa, and power supply for ac and dc current to tendon directly to magnetize tendon in circular direction and to coil wound on yoke to magnetize tendon in axial direction. We have used two kinds of tendon, which were produced by different companies, using the measuring system constructed in this work. Two kinds of experiments are carried out in this work; $1^{st}$ experiment : ac current was applied to the tendon and dc current was applied to coil wound on the yoke, and voltage induced from search coil wound on yoke (SCY) was measured and $2^{nd}$ experiment : dc current was applied to the tendon and ac current was applied to coil wound on the yoke, and voltage induced from search coil on tendon (SCT) was measured. In case of $1^{st}$ experiment, voltage induced from SCY was changed below 200MPa tensile stress but the voltage was not increased above 200 MPa. In case of $2^{nd}$ experiment, voltage induced from SCT was decreased up to 1.5 GPa linearly. We expect that $2^{nd}$ experiment could be applied to the non-destructive testing of tensile stress measurement of tendon.
