It is important to measure the displacement behind and ahead of a tunnel face during construction for evaluating mechanical stability by comparing it to a displacement criteria set by tunnel designers. The 30 m long horizontal inclinometer was installed frontward from the tunnel face and the displacement occurred ahead of a tunnel face during excavation was measured by using it. Tunnel arch settlements behind tunnel face were surveyed using a settlement pins on the arch. So total settlement and longitudinal displacement curve were obtained combining settlement measured by both the horizontal inclinometer ahead of tunnel face and the settlement pins behind the tunnel face.

A Fizeau interferometer without beam splitter was constructed. Single-mode optical fiber was used as a spherical wave source and the face of fiber end was polished and coated to be a reflecting surface. The reflecting surface was angled so that interference fringe could be detected by CCD camera. Beam splitter in front of a spherical wave source could distort the wave front and that was one of the component error sources. With the proposed configuration there was no need to place beam splitter in the system. Improvement of phase measuring accuracy was evaluated quantitatively by comparing the result of this setup with that of a conventional Fizeau interferometer. Wave front of the angled end-face optical fiber source was also measured to verify its sphericity by PS/PDI (Phase Shifting/Point Diffraction Interferometer). The principle of this technique was presented and the experimental results and its applications were discussed. ussed.

An instrumentation system is designed to observe the behavior of slope soil and stabilizing piles during heavy rains. Inclinometers, standpipe piezometers and strain gages are installed into a cut slope reinforced by a row .of piles for an apartment. The horizontal deflection and bending stress developed on the piles can be measured, respectively, by the inclinometers and strain gages installed in piles, while the horizontal deformation of the slope soil can be measured by the inclinometer installed in the soil across the open space between piles. The groundwater level doss not grow so sensitively during heavy rain. The behavior of piles and slope is 서footed by the wetting front, since the driving force of slope increases with the weight of slope soil above the wetting front. The stabilizing piles and the slope soil show elastic behavior during heavy rain.

Displacement of structures is the most important parameter for safety and performance assessment and is measured to use for diagnosis and maintenance of bridges. Usually LVDT, Laser and GNSS are used for displacement measurement but these measurement instruments have problems in terms of field condition and cost. Therefore, in this study, displacements were evaluated using rotational angle measured by inclinometers and the proposed algorithm was experimentally verified. As the result, vertical displacements of cable supported bridges with traffic and temperature load were properly evaluated through the proposed algorithm. Therefore it is considered that the proposed algorithm can be used for displacement measurement by vehicle load test and long term displacement monitoring.

The large circular steel pipe for a marine bridge foundation has been developed as a construction method capable of performing the role of the working platform and cofferdam. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the wireless remote sensing system for monitoring the stability of the large circular steel pipe during construction and operation through field tests. The artificial seabed ground with an water level of 4 m is constructed for field tests. The large circular steel pipe with a diameter of 5 m and height of 9.5 m is installed into the ground by suction, and the embedded depth is 5 m. The inclinometer and strain gauges are installed on different surfaces of the upper module, and the tilt angle and stress are monitored throughout the entire construction process. As results, tilt angles are measured to be constant during the suction penetration. However, the tilt angle is larger in the x-axis direction. In addition, even when installed on different surfaces, the tilt angle in the same axial direction is measured to be almost the same. The stresses measured by strain gauges increase during suction penetration and decrease during pull-out. Based on measured stresses, it is found that the eccentricity is acting on the large circular steel pipe. This study shows that a wireless remote sensing system built with an inclinometer and strain gauge can be a useful tool for the stability monitoring of the large circular steel pipe.

Several sensor systems are used to estimate the reinforcing effect of stabilizing pile in slopes, and to find a failure surface in slopes effectively. FBG(Fiber Brags Crating) sensor, V/W(Vibrating Wire) sensor and inclinometer have shown a great potentiality to serve real time health monitoring of the reinforcing structures. Field tests and test results have shown great solutions for sensor systems of Smart Structures. The purpose of this research is to seek for the relationships among the slope movement and the reinforcing effect of stabilizing pile, and the strain distribution of stabilizing pile in a active zone by analyzing the data from the in-situ measurement so that the possible failure surface should be well defined based on the relationships. The field test results have shown that the data by FBG sensor are well coincided with those of V/W sensor and inclinometer, and the reinforcing effect of the stabilizing pile is good enough.

A waterfall is a channel unit with steep bedrock. No strict criteria for height, water volume, gradient to define waterfalls exist in Korea. The goal of our study is to classify waterfalls based on morphological forms which are the outcomes of developmental processes. The genesis of waterfall depends upon erosional properties of waterfall. The height, gradient, bedrock strength and stream power of waterfalls are regarded as the main factors, by which waterfalls can be classified. We find out that the most important factor for the development of waterfalls is joint system. Development of joint system varies depending on bedrocks. Flow directions and erosional types are decided by the density and direction of joint system in the bedrock, which also decide the height and gradient of stream bed. Joint type decides the gradients of the bed, gradient and height of waterfalls, therefore, decides morphological forms.

기능경사재(FGM)는 구성 물질의 체적분율(volume fraction)이 복합재 전체에 걸쳐 연속적 그리고 기능적으로 분포되어 있어, 기존의 이종물질 접합식(bi-material-type) 복합재보다 현저히 우수한 열기계적 특성을 가진다. 하지만, 기능경사 내열복합재의 열-탄소성 거동은 체적분율의 분포형태와 경사층이 차지하는 상대두께비에 따라 절대적으로 좌우된다. 본 연구는 기능경사 내열복합재의 열-탄소성 특성의 이들 두 설계인자에 대한 파라메트릭 FEM해석을 다룬 것이다. 열-탄소성 이론과 유한요소 근사화에 따라 연구용 2차원 FEM 프로그램을 개발하고, 대표적인 3층 구조의 2차원 기능경사 내열복합재의 열-탄소성 특성을 설계변수의 다양한 조합에 따라 분석하였다.
