여러 가지 지하시설물 중 국가 주요 자원의 수송망을 책임지는 주요구조물인 수도관, 가스관등의 배관구조물은 접근이 쉽지 않은 지하공간에 복잡하게 연결되어 있어 그 중요성에 비해 유지, 관리, 보수가 쉽지 않았다. 이러한 배관구조물을 균열, 조인트 풀림 등의 손상으로부터 보다 안전하고 효율적으로 관리하기 위하여 상시적 배관구조물 손상진단기법을 연구하였다. 이를 위해 배관 구조물 시험체에 볼트풀림, notch 등과 같은 손상에 대하여 대표적인 압전센서인 PZT와 MFC를 부착하고 임피던스기법 및 유도 초음파기법을 적용하여 볼트풀림개수, notch 손상개수 증가에 따른 출력신호를 반복 계측하였다. 객관적인 평가를 위해 계측된 신호를 신호처리기법인 웨이블렛 변환을 수행하고, RMSD 및 1-CC의 손상지수를 사용하여 구조물손상을 정량화 시켰으며 이를 토대로 구조물의 건전성의 기준이 되는 임계값을 설정함으로서 임피던스와 유도초음파 두 검색기법을 이용한 상시적 배관구조물 건전성 모니터링의 가능성을 살펴보았다.

The influence of tunnelling on buildings has become an important issue in urban areas. The problem is an interactive one: not only do tunnelling settlements affect existing structures, but existing structures affect tunnel-induced soil movements. In order to examine the constraint of surface settlement and the degradation of building damage parameters, 3-dimensional elasto-plastic finite element analyses are peformed. Also, in this paper, the results of the parametric studies for the variations of the damage parameters due to the ground movements are presented by utilizing 2-dimensional elasto-plastic finite element models, totally 162 models. The width of a structure, its bending and axial stiffness, its position relative to the tunnel and the depth of tunnel are considered. The interaction is shown by reference to commonly-used building damage parameters, namely angular distortion, deflection ratio, maximum building settlements, maximum differential settlements and horizontal strain. By introducing relative stiffness parameters which combine the bending and axial stiffness of the structure with its width and stiffness of soil, design curves are established. These give a guide as to the likely modification of the greenfield settlement trough caused by a surface structure. They can be used to give initial estimates of likely building damage.

In this paper, an algorithm to locate and size damage in a complex truss structure using the time domain response is presented. Sampled response data for specific time interval is spatially expanded over the structure to obtain the mean train energy for each element of the structure. The mean strain energy for each element is, in turn, used to build a damage index that represents the ratio of the stiffness parameter of the pre-damaged to the post-damaged structure. The validity of the methodology is demonstrated using data from a numerical example of a space truss structure with simulated damage. Also in the example, the effects of noisy data on the proposed algorithm are examined by adding random noised to the response data.

AE technique was applied to the static structural test of the composite wing structure to evaluate the structural integrity and damage. During the test, strain and displacements measurement technique were used to figure out for static structural strength. AE parameter analysis and source location technique were used to evaluate the internal damage and find out damage source location. Design limit load test, the 1st and 2nd design ultimate load tests and fracture test were performed. Main AE source was detected by an sensor attached on skin near by front lug. Especially, at the 1st design ultimate test, strain and displacements results didn't show internal damage but AE signal presented a phenomenon that the internal damage was formed. At the fracture test, AE activities were very lively, and strain and displacements results showed a tendency that the load path was changed by severe damage. The internal damage initiation load and location were accurately evaluated during the static structural test using AE technique. It is certified from this paper that AE technique is useful technique for evaluation of internal damage at static structural strength test.

When a structure is damaged, its dynamic responses (natural frequency, acceleration, strain) are found to be changed. The ANN(Artificial Neural Network) damage-assesment method is that some measured dynamic signals from the structural changing dynamic responses are applied to ANN to assess the structural damage. Although there have been some studies on a certain typical cases so far, it is rare to find studies about the characteristics of the ANN damage-assesment method or about its applicability, its strength and weakness. So this study researches on the characteristics of ANN damage assesment method and on a problem in application of the various dynamic responses to ANN. What the ANN damage assessment method usually does in past researches is to teach an ANN by using some response signals obtained from damaged structures under one kind of excitations and to identify the locations and the extents of damage of same structures under the same excitations. However, the excitations inflicted on the structures are not always the same. Thus this study experiments whether a ANN which is trained using the same excitations is able to identify the damage when different excitations inflict. All response signals are obtained from experimental models.

This papers presents a practical damage detection algorithm based on damage index method that accurately assesses both the location and severity of the localized detriment in a bridge structure using only limited mode shapes. In the algorithm, the ratio of the modal vector sensitivity of an undamaged structure to that of a damaged structure is used as an indicator of damage. However, a difficulty arises when the damaged element is located at a node of mode where the amplitude of medal vector is close to zero, leading the singularity of the ratio (i.e., division-by-zero). This singularity problem is overcome by introducing a parameter denoted a sensitivity filter, a function of mode shape of the structure, in modal vector sensitivity. Using this concept, an improvement can be considerably achieved in the estimation of both degree of severity and location of damage. To verify the proposed algorithm, its numerical implementations are conducted for a simply supported beam and a 2-span continuous beam.

최근 국내에서는 대심도 터널 시공계획이 발표되면서 터널 구조물에 대한 방재 및 내화설계에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 화재 발생 시 문제가 발생할 수 있는 콘크리트 라이닝의 내화설계를 위해서는 보다 구체적인 내화성능을 측정하기 위한 내화실험이 실시되어야 한다. 현재 국내에서는 건축물의 내화성능을 평가하기 위한 시험평가 방법이 제시되어 있는 상태이나 터널 구조물에 대한 시험법이나 성능평가는 거의 전무한 상황이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 콘크리트 구조물의 화재손상 정도를 평가하기 위해 현장에서 사용되고 있는 터널 라이닝을 대상으로 화재 시 콘크리트 라이닝의 손상정도를 평가하였다. 실험은 대표적인 터널 화재시나리오 곡선인 RABT 화재 시나리오를 적용하였으며 폭렬방지에 효과적인 것으로 알려져있는 fiber cocktail(강섬유+폴리프로필렌섬유)의 혼입여부에 따른 성능평가도 함께 실시하였다.

본 논문에서는 상사진동에서의 응답을 통해 구성된 모드유연도 행렬에 의해 추정되는 변위/변형을 이용해 전당빌딩의 손상을 정량적으로 평가하는 방법을 제시하였다. 제안된 방법은 전단빌딩의 손살발생 후의 층간변위와 손상발생 전 후의 층간변위 차이인 Damage-induced inter-story deflection(DI-ID)의 관계를 이용해 손상을 정량적으로 평가하는 방법이다. 구조물이 양전단력만을 발생시킴으로써 층간변위를 분명히 파악할 수 있도록 하는 양전단력 탐색하중(Positive Shear Inspection Load)을 통해 DI-ID를 산정한다. 제안된 방법의 검증을 위해 5층의 전단빌딩 축소모형을 대상구조물로 선정했으며, 단일손상과 다중손상의 모사를 위해 1층과 3층의 휨강성을 각각 10% 씩 저감시켰다. Static test와 modal test를 통해 각각의 결과를 비교하는 방법으로 제안된 방법의 성능검증을 수행했으며, 축소모형실험 결과, 두 실험간 평균오차 1% 이내로 정확도를 검증했다.

When concrete structures expose to fire, the structures were damaged accompanied with degradation of material properties of concrete. In order to determine the reuse of fire-damaged concrete structures, it is needed a careful determination considering conditions of fire damage, such as exposure temperature and exposure time, and also potential to restore fire damage. This study investigates on the evaluation of residual material properties of fire-damaged concrete under different post-fire curing regimes. An experimental study was performed on concrete samples to measure the dynamic elastic modulus by the impact resonance vibration method. Upon the experimental results, the evidence of restoration of material properties was confirmed on specific post-fire curing regimes, higher humidity conditions. Additionally, a correlation analysis was performed on the dynamic elastic modulus with the tensile strength for identifying the effects of post-fire curing regimes on both material properties of fire-damaged concrete.

In this paper, a damage detection method using mode shapes of truss structures is presented. The theory is formulated based on the changes in the modal strain energy in a truss type structures due to damage. To examine the feasibility, the theory is applied to an experimental data of a 1:6 scale model of a typical hexagonal truss structure. The experiment consists of 17 damage scenarios subjected to three different types of damage. The damage evaluation results show that the proposed method detects successfully damage in truss elements and also show that the performance of proposed method can be significantly impacted by the noise in the measurement data for small damage.
