Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to present a basic study on the development of a self-generation infrastructure for monitoring the health of harbour structures. Method: By developing a self-generation system and fiber optic sensors for seawater, the study provides basic research data on port structure health monitoring. Result: Through sunlight simulation analysis, 4-5 hours of sunlight can be secure in the domestic environment. Through this, the optical splitter (Introgate) that collects the raw data from the FBG sensor applicable to seawater, the MCU that calculates it, the IoT module with wireless communication functionality, the monitoring server and the supply system are set up. Conclusion: Monitoring port structures directly with fiber optic probes (FBG) and the possibility of using selfpowered systems were confirmed.

As structures' long term performances and users' safety have been highlighted, a new maintenance technique using IT has drawn attention around the globe. Therefore, throughout the paper, by analyzing bridge's static and dynamic data using wireless measuring sensor, a "real time smart bridge monitoring system" has developed. Smart bridge monitoring system is consists of three main parts a sensor that can measure major members' movement, a wireless system that informs the data from the sensor, and the database system that analysis the data. In order to test the performance of the system, five different were placed on the Olympic Bridge, Seoul. The power system of the sensors was replaced by self-sustain solar energy system. In order to validate data from the real time smart bridge monitoring system, the data was collected for a week from both wireless system and the wired system and the two data were compared to see the relevance.

In order to detect damage in early stages and properly maintaining structures, the structural health monitoring technology is employed. In most cases, active-sensing SHM needs many piezoelectric (PZT) sensors and actuators. Thus, if there is a defect on PZT used for active-sensing SHM, the structural status could be misclassified. This study, for reliable SHM performance, investigated to detect defects of sensors by using the admittance-based sensor diagnostics. This study also introduced an algorithm that can diagnose sensor defects based only on data measured from the sensors in case that information about the changes in adhesive and environmental investigation, this study confirms that the proposed algorithm could be efficiently applied to real-world structures in which a significant temperature variation could take place.

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.

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.

For structural health monitoring of a complex shaped structure a new sensor that can compensate for the drawbacks of the current sensors such as brittleness is needed and the sensor should be highly flexible and durable. In this study a textile sensor made of polyvinylidene fluoride trifluoroethylene (PVDF-TrFE) which is a type of electroactive polymer was fabricated. And the textile sensors were applied to a complex shaped structure (an egg-box panel made of carbon/epoxy composite) for checking their feasibility of structural health monitoring. To correlate the collapse response with failure mechanisms of the structure the multiply-interrupted compressive test was carried out. During the test, the textile sensors succeeded to prove their applicability for damage detection (crack initiation) by generating electric voltages (0.05 V-0.25 V) in the real time.

The IoT-based sensor network is one of the methods that can be efficiently applied to maintain the facilities, such as bridges, at a low cost. In this study, based on LoRa LPWAN, one of the IoT communications, sensor board for cable tension monitoring, data acquisition board for constructing sensor network along with existing measurement sensors, are developed to create bridge structural health monitoring system. In addition, we designed and manufactured a smart sensor node for LoRa communication and established a sensor network for monitoring. Further, we constructed a test bed at the Yeonggwang Bridge to verify the performance of the system. The test bed verification results suggested that the LoRa LPWAN-based sensor network can be applied as one of the technologies for monitoring the bridge structure soundness; this is excellent in terms of data rate, accuracy, and economy.

고층 건물에 대한 구조 안전성 모니터링은 건물 특성상 계측 대상 부재가 많고 하중과 구조반응의 관계가 복잡하기 때문에 센싱 위치 선정의 어려움으로 그 적용에 한계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 고층 건물의 구조 건전도 모니터링을 위한 구조반응 계측위치를 선정하기 위해서 에너지 이론에 근거한 부재의 변위기여도 및 변형에너지밀도 개념을 도입하였다. 보, 기둥, 코어 전단벽, 그리고 아웃리거로 구성된 고층 건물을 대상으로 풍하중에 대한 부재 종류별 부재의 변위기여도 및 변형에너지밀도를 확인하고 전체 구조물의 거동과의 관계를 분석하여 고층 건물의 구조 건전도 모니터링을 위한 센싱 위치를 예상해보았다.
