The main objective of this study was to offer informations about long-term seepage behavioral characteristics and to find a leakage safety management method for Juam Dam and Imha Dam, a central cored rockfill dams in Korea by the evaluating the automatically monitored leakage data. In the water leakage monitoring of fill dam, the generation of abnormal water leakage is difficult to directly detect due to the effect of outside factors such as the component of rainfall inherent in the observation value. Therefore, conventionally estimation methods of water leakage quantity were applied by multiple regression analysis considering reservoir water level, rainfall, etc.. However, the estimated error of rainfall component is relatively big in these method. This paper identifies the seepage characteristic of each dams which is not directly affected by rainfall through the hydrograph separation analysis and 3 dimensional analytical method, and thinks a leakage management method. It was noticed that two dams had site specific seepage behaviour features and were in stable state with the decreasing leakage quantity. It was also found that hydrograph separation method might be applicable to leakage safety management method.

The paper presents a new dynamic displacement measurement system. The developed displacement measurement system consists of a sensor module, a base module and a computation module. The sensor module, which contains a force-balanced accelerometer and low-price RTK-GNSS, measures the high-precision acceleration with sampling frequency of 100Hz, the low-precision displacement and velocity with sampling frequency of 10Hz. The measured data is transferred to the computation module through LAN cable, and precise displacement is estimated in real-time with 100Hz sampling frequency through a two stage Kalman filter. The field test was conducted at San Francisco-Oaklmand Bay bridge, CA, USA to verify the precision of the developed system, and it showed the RMSE was 1.68mm.

In this paper, axial strains and lateral displacements of columns in a 58-story reinforced concrete building were measured using vibrating wire gauge and laser scanner, respectively, and compared with predicted values. Predictions were obtained using ASAP, which is a 3D construction stage analysis program developed based on PCA report. Comparisons indicated that columns in the middle of floor plan showed good correlation with predictions. However, the columns in the corners showed some deviations. Lateral displacement of columns between measurement and estimation showed similar trends but considerable deviations, which are seemingly caused by construction error of column faces, and inaccuracy in differential vertical displacement prediction.

강우 데이터는 수문기상, 환경, 농업, 자연재해, 그리고 수자원 시스템 분야에서 가장 필수적인 기본 요소 중 하나이다. 또한 강우 데이터는 수문학적 분석에서 활용되는 필수 입력 자료 중 하나로 관측 데이터의 품질에 따라 수문 모형을 이용한 모의 결과물의 정확도가 결정된다고 할 수 있다. 따라서, 강우 관측소별로 강우 데이터의 품질을 어떻게 관리하느냐에 따라 수문 모형의 활용 범위 및 수자원 관리의 효율성이 결정될 수 있다. 강우의 시공간적 변동성은 수 많은 인자들과 직간접적으로 연계되어 있기 때문에 미계측 강우 자료에 대해 직접 관측이 아닌 수치 모형을 이용하여 강우의 발생과 강우량을 산정하는 것은 매우 복잡한 과제 중 하나이다. 현재 국내에서 운용되고 있는 강우 관측소의 경우에도 미계측 된 강우 데이터가 존재함으로써 강우 데이터의 활용에 제한이 생기는 경우가 있다. 따라서, 이러한 미계측 데이터의 추정 및 보완은 보다 효과적인 수재해 방지, 수자원 관리를 위한 필수 과제 중 하나이다. 일반적으로, 미계측 강우를 산정하기 위해서 Kriging, Thiessen, 등우선법, 그리고 역거리 관측법 등 다양한 수문학적 방법들이 적용되고 있다. 이러한 방법들은 산악효과나 강우 관측소의 분포 상태 등을 고려하지 못하기 때문에 측정하는 지역에 따라 강우 추정 오차가 커질 수 있다는 한계가 있다. 최근에는 데이터 관측 시스템과 빅데이터 기술의 발전과 활용 가능한 데이터의 양이 증가함에 따라 머신러닝을 활용한 사례가 증가하고 있다. 머신러닝은 데이터 사이의 관계를 기반으로 분류, 회귀, 그리고 예측 문제에 주로 사용되는 기법 중 하나이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 광주광역시 지역에 위치한 주요 강우 관측 지점들을 대상으로 미계측 된 시강우 데이터를 추정 및 복원하고자 한다. 여기서 데이터 추정 기술이란 미계측 강우의 발생 유무 및 강우량을 추정할 수 있는 기술을 의미한다. 이를 위해 대표적인 머신러닝 알고리즘인 인공신경망(Artificial Neural Network) 및 랜덤포레스트(Random Forest)를 적용하였다.

지속적이고 안정적인 물의 수요와 공급을 유지하기 위해서는 하천의 유량도 중요하지만 좀 더 정확한 물의 흐름을 파악하기 위해서는 하천수 사용량 파악이 중요하다. 하천수 사용량 계측기술의 검증 및 표준화를 통해 실측기반의 하천수 사용량 자료 수집 및 활용체계가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 직·간접적 사용량 측정 및 월 단위 보고체계를 개선할 목적으로 기존의 측정방법에 대한 평가를 실시하고, 하천수 사용량의 표준화된 계측 및 자료수집 체계 개선 방안과 실시간 계측자료 기반의 관리체계를 마련하여 자료를 관리할 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다. 하천수 사용량 파악을 위한 사용시설 현황을 검토하기 위해 제원정보 및 허가량이 유효한 14,575건 중 농업용 하천수 사용시설은 12,745개소로 전체의 88.9%, 허가량 대비 81.3%(생활·농업·공업용수 대상)를 차지하고 있다. 이중 하천수 사용량 보고대상인 8,000 m³/일 이상의 1,696건에 대한 자료의 수집이 수행된다면, 전체 농업용수의 86.0%에 해당하는 사용량 자료를 파악할 수 있다. 하천수 사용량 수집체계 개선 우선 대상인 1,696개소는 양수장 1,196개소(70.5%), 취수보 500개소(29.5%)로 보고규모 이상의 시설을 우선적으로 개선하는 것이 적용 초기에 많은 사용량을 파악할 수 있을 것이라고 판단된다. 전력량-사용량관계 곡선식을 이용한 환산유량은 하류단 양수의 영향을 받지 않고 초기설치 비용을 줄일 수 있으며, 오차율도 양호하여 만족할 만한 정확도와 경제성을 갖는 방법이라고 판단된다. 전국에 위치한 농업용수 사용량 자료의 확보는 현실적으로 어렵고, 하천수 보고유량은 초기설치비용이 들지 않지만 가동시간을 수기로 기록함에 있어 인건비 등의 연간운영비가 많이 소모되는 것으로 나타났다. 실시간 전력량자료 수집이 가능한 양수장의 경우, 전력량-사용량관계곡선식을 활용한 방법으로 실시간 하천수 사용량 자료 수집을 통해 보다 경제적이고 정확한 자료수집이 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 이는 실시간 하천수 사용량 계측자료의 활용성 향상을 위한 기반을 마련할 수 있을 것이라 기대한다.

In general, the accelerogram of earthquake ground motion or the accelerogram obtained from dynamic tests contain various errors. In these errors of the accelerograms, there are instrumental errors(magnitude and phase distortion) due to the response characteristics of accelerometer and the digitizing error concentrated in low and high frequency components and random errors. Then, these errors may be detrimental to the results of data processing and dynamic analysis. An efficient method which can correct the errors of the accelerogram is proposed in this study. The correction of errors can be accomplished through four steps as followes ; 1) using an interpolation method a data form appropriate to the error correction is prepared, 2) low and high frequency errors of the accelerogram are removed by band-pass filter between prescribed frequency limits, 3) instrumental errors are corrected using dynamic equilibrium equation of the accelerometer, 4) velocity and displacement are obtained by integrating corrected accelerogram. Presently, infinite impulse response(IIR) filter and finite impulse response (FIR) filter are generally used as band-pass filter. In the proposed error correction procedure, the deficiencies of FIR filter and IIR filter are reduced and, using the properties of the differentiation and the integration of Fourier transform, the accuracy of instrument correction and integration is improved.

To monitor the wind-induced responses of buildings, conventional real-time kinematic (RTK) methods based on two global positioning system (GPS) receivers (e.g., a reference and a rover) are widely applied. However, these methods can encounter problems such as difficulty in securing and maintaining a space for a reference station. With the recently developed virtual reference station (VRS)-RTK approach, the position of a structure can be measured using only a rover receiver. In this study, to evaluate the applicability of VRS-RTK methods in monitoring the lateral structural responses of frame structures, we performed free vibration tests on a one-story frame model (the first natural frequency of 1 Hz) and a three-story frame model (the first natural frequency of 0.85 Hz). To assess the reliability of the displacement and acceleration responses measured by the GPS, we performed a concurrent measurement using laser displacement sensors and an accelerometer. The accelerometer results were consistent with the GPS measurements in terms of the time history and frequency content. Furthermore, to derive an appropriate sampling rate for the continuous monitoring of buildings, the errors in the displacement responses were evaluated at different GPS sampling rates (5, 10, 20 Hz). The results indicate that as the sampling rate increased, the errors in the displacement responses decreased. In addition, in the three-story model, all modal components (first, second, and third modes) could be recorded at a sampling rate of 20 Hz.

In this thesis, a new measurement system is implemented for depth data extraction based on the camera calibration of the known pattern. The relation between 3D world coordinate and 2D image coordinate is analyzed. A new camera calibration algorithm is established from the analysis and then, the internal variables and external variables of the CCD camera are obtained. Suppose that the measurement plane is horizontal plane, from the 2D plane equation and coordinate transformation equation the approximation values corresponding minimum values using Newton-Rabbson method is obtained and they are stored into the look-up table for real time processing . A slit laser light is projected onto the object, and a 2D image obtained on the x-z plane in the measurement system. A 3D shape image can be obtained as the 2D (x-z)images are continuously acquired, during the object is moving to the y direction. The 3D shape images are displayed on computer monitor by use of OpenGL software. In a measuremental result, we found that the resolution of pixels have $\pm$ 1% of error in depth data. It seems that the error components are due to the vibration of mechanic and optical system. We expect that the measurement system need some of mechanic stability and precision optical system in order to improve the system.

This paper is to verify the effectiveness of 'Hybrid Disaster Management Strategy' that integrates 'RTM(Real-time Monitoring) based On-line' and 'UAV based Off-line' system. For landslide prone area where sensors were installed, the conventional way of risk management so far has entirely relied on RTM data collected from the field through the instrumentation devices. But it's not enough due to the limitation of'Pin-point sensor'which tend to provide with only the localized information where sensors have stayed fixed. It lacks, therefore, the whole picture to be grasped. In this paper, utilizing 'Digital Photogrammetry Software Pix4D', the possibility of inference for the deformation of ungauged area has been reviewed. For this purpose, actual measurement data from RTM were compared with the estimated value from 3D point cloud outcome by UAV, and the consequent results has shown very accurate in terms of RMSE.

In this study, an experiment was carried out on the field applicability of tension measuring devices of the cables in cable-stayed bridges. The vibration method was used to estimate the tension of cables of cable-stayed bridge, and the mode characteristics of the cable were analyzed using a cable tension measuring device. GTDL360, NI Module, and 9 Axes Motion Sensorwere applied to estimate the cable tension of five target bridges. Numerical analysis of the five target bridges was conducted to analyze the natural frequency of the cable and cable tension. The estimated tension of the cable based on field measurements and estimated tension of cable by numerical analysis were compared with the estimated tension of the cable based on field measurements. The analysis showed that the measured tension of the cable based on field measurements was within the margin of error. Therefore, it is safe to apply these measuring devices to the site. As a result of comparing and analyzing the values of the acceleration-based cable estimation tension and numerical analysis of the field demonstration bridge, the acceleration-based cable estimation of tension is deemed appropriate within the allowable range. On-site applicability analysis revealed limitations of the measuring devices, such as the installation location of sensors and weather conditions, so continuous follow-up research on smart cable tension measuring systems is expected.
