This study was planned to develop monitoring system of cable force to resolve cable force of cable-stayed bridge efficiently in a long-term plan. In the proposed monitoring system, firstly data are sampled from real-time acceleration record, secondly these sampled data are frequency analyzed by using the FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) algorism and lastly the analyzed results are averaged and generalized. For evaluating the applicability of this monitoring system, field loading test has performed in real cable-stayed bridge. In comparison with cable force by field manual calculation and cable force of monitoring system by semi-automatic calculation, the difference of calculated cable forces has within 1% error range and it is acceptable range. Additionally within negligible 5% error range of difference has occur between field manual calculation and monitoring system by automatic calculation. so monitoring system in this study has been verified to be reliable.

This paper presents a method for detecting damage to a structure at low cost using its impedance. The impedance technique is a typical method to detect local damage for structural health monitoring. This is a common technique for estimating damage by monitoring the electro-mechanical admittance signal of the structure. To apply this technique, an expensive impedance analyzer is generally used. On the other hand, it is necessary to develop a low-cost variant to effectively disseminate the technique. In this study, a method based on the transfer impedance using a function generator and digital multimeter, which are generally used in the laboratory instead of an impedance analyzer, was developed. That is, this technique estimates the damage by comparing the damage index using the amplitude ratio of the output voltage measured in the healthy and damaged state. A transfer impedance test was carried out on a steel specimen. By comparing the damage index, the presence of damage could be assessed reasonably. This study is a basic investigation of an impedance-based low-cost damage detection method that can be used effectively for structural health monitoring if supplemented with future research to estimate the damage location and severity.

세계적으로 기후변화 현상으로 인해 극심한 이상 가뭄이 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 물 공급 소외지역의 경우 가뭄으로 인해 주민들이 불편을 겪고 있으며, 특히 마을상수도 및 소규모수도시설에 의존하는 최상류부 유역의 취수원은 상대적으로 가뭄에 취약하다. 본 연구의 대상 지역은 강원도 춘천시 물로천의 제1지류 유역으로 주민들이 하천 계곡수를 생활용수의 주 공급원으로 사용하고 있다. 해당지역은 갈수기에 생활용수 부족 문제를 겪고 있는 지역으로 가뭄 대응을 위한 구조적 대책으로 다단식 Sand댐을 설치할 예정이다. 현장조사 결과 물로천의 물은 취수조로 일부 유입되며, 자갈 등을 이용하여 부유물 등이 필터링되어 물탱크로 흘러내리며 중력에 의해 각 가정으로 자연 유하하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 대상지역의 하천, 취수조, 물탱크 3개 지점에 압력식 자동 수위 관측기를 설치하였으며, 2시간 간격의 수위를 측정할 수 있도록 설정하여 매달 유속 측정을 통해 수위-유량 관계 곡선식을 바탕으로 유량을 산정하였다. 도출된 일별 유량 자료와 SWAT 모형의 매개변수 검·보정한 후 이를 장기간으로 확장 적용하여 약 10년간의 장기 유출량을 산정하였다. 일별 장기 유출량 자료를 통해 평균 유량 감수곡선과 감수곡선식을 도출하였고, 무강우에 따른 최대 공급가능일수를 산정하였다. 본 연구에서는 하천-취수원 연계 모니터링 및 하천 유량에 따른 공급가능일수 등을 제시하여 가뭄 취약지역의 주민 불편을 최소화하고 가뭄에 대응할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 최종적으로 추후 Sand댐 건설 전후 비교 자료로 사용될 수 있으며, 소규모수도시설의 가뭄 관리를 위한 모니터링 체계 및 대응 방안을 구축하였다.

A CFRP (Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Plastic) strengthening method being widely used to increase the load-carrying capacity of structures is very suitable for existing bridge structures. However, not only flexure and shear failures but also debonding failure might be additionally occured in reinforced concrete(RC) beams strengthened with the CFRP plates. The CFRP debonding failure would cause a brittle fracture of the beam. Therefore, health monitoring for the CFRP bonding condition is strongly required. In this study, a feasibility of the impedance-based damage detection method using PZT sensors was investigated through a series of experimental studies for realtime structural health monitoring(SHM) for the CFRP laminated concrete structures.

Stay-cable is one of the most important load carrying members in cable-stayed bridges. Monitoring structural integrity of stay-cables is crucial for evaluating the structural condition of the cable-stayed bridge. For stay-cables, tension and damping ratio are estimated based on modal properties as a measure of structural integrity. Since the monitoring system continuously measures the vibration for the long-term period, data acquisition systems should be stable and power-efficiency as the hardware system. In addition, massive signals from the data acquisition systems are continuously generated, so that automated analysis system should be indispensable. In order to fulfill these purpose simultaneously, this study presents an autonomous cable monitoring system based on domain-knowledge using IoT for continuous cable monitoring systems of cable-stayed bridges. An IoT system was developed to provide effective and power-efficient data acquisition and on-board processing capability for Edge-computing. Automated peak-picking algorithm using domain knowledge was embedded to the IoT system in order to analyze massive data from continuous monitoring automatically and reliably. To evaluate its operational performance in real fields, the developed autonomous monitoring system has been installed on a cable-stayed bridge in Korea. The operational performance are confirmed and validated by comparing with the existing system in terms of data transmission rates, accuracy and efficiency of tension estimation.

The main object of this paper is that it's possible to monitoring the deformation of cable in the tensegrity structure. always monitoring system of Fiber Bragg Grating(FBG)Sensor is described. The measurement of parts on the cable is very important. We make an experiment with measuring deformation of cable in the tensegrity structure to the pressure conditions. In the result of experiment, the fiber sensors showed good response to the pressure conditions. Therefore, We could calculate the deformation of cable structure and be possible health monitoring of the tensegrity structure.

It is important to collect reliable measured data for proper bridge health monitoring. However, in reality incomplete and unreliable data may be acquired due to sensor problems and environmental effects. In case of sensor malfunction, parts of measured data are missing and thus health monitoring cannot be carried out reliably. Due to environmental effects such as temperature variation, dynamic characteristics of natural frequencies may change as if the structure is damaged. The paper proposes a systematic procedure of data processing and data analysis for reliable structural health monitoring. Also, it applies the Mahalanobis distance as a health index computed statistically using revised data. The proposed procedure has been examined using numerically simulated data from a truss structure and then applied to a set of field data measured from Seohae cable-stayed bridge.

Recently, due to adjacent excavation work such as new buildings and common tunnel expansion concentrated around the urban railway, deformation of the underground box and tunnel structure of the urban railway built underground has occurred, and as a result, repair and reinforcement work is frequently carried. In addition, the subway is responsible for large-scale transportation, so ensuring the safety and drivability of underground structures is very important. Accordingly, an automated measurement system is being introduced to manage the safety of underground box structures. However, there is no analysis of structural damage vulnerabilities caused by subsidence or uplift of underground box structures. In this study, we aim to analyze damage vulnerabilities for safety monitoring of underground box structures. In addition, we intend to analyze major core monitoring locations by modeling underground box structures through numerical analysis. Therefore, we would like to suggest sensor installation locations and damage vulnerable areas for safety monitoring of underground box structures in the future.
