The fracture behaviour of concrete gravity dam mainly due to uplift pressure acting at the crack face was studied. Triangular type and parabolic type distribution of the uplift pressure including uniform type were first considered in case of calculating stress intensity factor(SIF) by the surface integral method. Second, the directions of crack propagation according to the uplift pressure distribution were pursued by FRANC(FRacture ANalysis Code). Third, critical crack lengths according to the uplift pressure distribution under the overflow depth were calculated. The SIF values obtained from the surface integral method were compared with those by FRANC and relatively good agrements could be obtained between both of them. And it could be seen that the direction of crack propagation in case of triangular pressure distribution was a little benter to the dam base than the one by the uniform type. Maximum critical crack lengths under the overflow depth were obtained at about 2/5-1/2 of the dam height.

Validation study of two radionuclide migration models for single fracture developed in geologic medium the hydrodynamic dispersion diffusion model(HDDM) and the channeling dispersion diffusion model(CDDM), was studied by migration experiment of tracers through an artificial granite fracture on the labolatory scale. The tracers used were Uranine and Sodium lignosulfonate know as nonsorbing material. The flow rate ranged 0.4 to 1.5 cc/min. Related parameters for the models were estimated by optimization technique. Theoretical breakthrough curves with experimental data were compared. In the experiment, it was deduced that the surface sorption for both tracers did not play an important role while the diffusion of Uranine into the rock matrix turned out to be an important mass transfer mechanism. The parameter characterizing the rock matrix diffusion of each model agreed well The simulated result showed that the amount of flow rate could not tell the CDDM from the HDDM quantitatively. On the other hand, the variation of fracture length gave influence on the two models in a different degree. The dispersivity of breakthrough curve of the CDDM was more amplified than that of the CDDM when the fracture length was increased. A good agreement between the models and experimental data gave a confirmation that both models were very useful in predicting the migration system through a single fracture.

The deterioration of facilities is an unavoidable phenomenon. For the management of aging facilities, cracks can be detected and tracked, and the condition of the facilities can be indirectly inferred. Therefore, crack detection plays a crucial role in the management of aged facilities. Conventional maintenances are conducted using the crack detection results. For example, maintenance activities to prevent further deterioration can be performed. However, currently, most crack detection relies only on human judgment, so if the area of the facility is large, cost and time are excessively used, and different judgment results may occur depending on the expert's competence, it causes reliability problems. This paper proposes a concrete crack detection framework based on machine learning to overcome these limitations. Fully automated concrete crack detection was possible through the proposed framework, which showed a high accuracy of 96%. It is expected that effective and efficient management will be possible through the proposed framework in this paper.

Steel structure construction is currently increasing on account of the many merits of steel structures. Due to numerous environmental factors, many cracks and extensive corrosion occur in steel structures, which cause the deterioration of the performance and life cycle of such structures. Maintenance of steel structures is thus strongly demanded, for safety control. The inspection methods that are currently being used, however, are very limited and can detect only local defects in steel structures. They also take much time to use and incur high maintenance costs. Moreover, such methods cannot be applied to huge steel structures, which men find unapproachable. They also require much time due to the need for periodic checks, and may lead to cost loss. Therefore, the development of a monitoring system that can detect defects in whole structures and can reduce the repair and strengthening costs at an early stage is very much needed. In this study, the generation and propagation of cracks were monitored via the electric-potential-drop method (EPDM).

상수도관은 사용년수가 경과함에 따라 노후화가 진행되며, 노후화된 상수관은 내부적으로 부식, 이물질 퇴적, 균열 등의 현상이 발생하게 되고, 이는 결국 수질문제로 연결되어, 탁수사고 발생 확률증가의 주요 원인이 되고 있다. 국내 상수도관의 경우 매설년수의 증가로 인해 내구연한이 도래한 상수관망의 비중이 점차 증가하고 있으며, 2019년 서울시 문래동 수질사고, 2019년 인천 붉은 수돗물 사고, 2022년 안양 동안구 탁수사고, 2022년 여수시 웅천 탁수사고 등 관의 노후화로인한 탁수 사고가 빈번하게 발생되고 있어 수도 사용자에게 불편함을 끼치고 있다. 현재 정수장 및 상수관망에 설치된 탁도계를 통해 수질에 대한 감시를 진행하고 있지만, 경제적인 문제로 인해 모든 상수도관에 탁도계를 설치하기에는 현실적으로 불가능하며, 제한적인 탁도계의 개수를 통해 수질에 대한 감시 및 관리를 진행하고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 상황으로 인해 탁수사고 발생 시 발생 원인분석 및 최초 발생위치 결정이 쉽지 않으며, 보수 보강을 통한 상수도관의 정상화까지 오랜 시간이 걸리게 된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 상수관망에서 탁수 발생 시 최초 발생 위치를 결정할 수 있는 기법을 개발하였으며, 이를 실제 상수도관망에 적용하여 탁수발생 파이프를 탐지하였다. 탁수사고 발생 시 실측된 수질 데이터의 부족으로 인해 임의의 파이프에서 탁수가 발생하였다고 가상의 탁수 발생시나리오를 가정하였으며, 완전혼합농도식을 통해 관망에 설치된 탁도계의 NTU(Nethelometric Paultity Unit) 농도를 계산하여 가상의 탁수발생 시나리오를 상수도관망에 적용하였다. 이후, 역추적 계산기법을 통해 파이프의 초기 NTU 농도를 변화시켜주며 관망내 설치된 탁도계의 NTU 농도를 계산하였으며, 가상 시나리오를 적용하여 계산된 탁도계의 NTU 농도와 역추적 계산법을 적용하여 계산된 탁도계의 NTU 농도의 Percentage Error를 비교/분석하여 탁수 발생 파이프를 탐지하였다. 분석결과, 가상 시나리오의 최초 탁수발생 파이프와 역추적 계산법을 적용하여 탐지한 최초 탁수발생 파이프의 위치가 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 개발된 역추적계산을 통한 탁수발생 파이프 탐지기법을 실제 관로 교체사업에 활용한다면 파이프의 개선 우선순위를 보다 명확하게 판단할 수 있으며, 더 나아가 상수도 관망의 유지관리에 활용하여 경제적이고 효율적인 상수관망 시스템관리를 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study introduces a smoothed finite-element implementation into the phase-field framework. In recent years, the phase-field method has recieved considerable attention in crack initiation and propagation since the method needs no further treatment to express the crack growth path. In the phase-field method, high strain-energy accuracy is needed to capture the complex crack growth path; thus, it is obtained in the framework of the smoothed finite-element method. The salient feature of the smoothed finite-element method is that the finite element cells are divided into sub-cells and each sub-cell is rebuilt as a smoothing domain where smoothed strain energy is calculated. An adaptive quadtree refinement is also employed in the present framework to avoid the computational burden. Numerical experiments are performed to investigate the performance of the proposed approach, compared with that of the finite-element method and the reference solutions.

This study aims to evaluate how efficiently time-worn building could be managed by using GPS-based video-logging systems. The digitally georeferencing video data taken by a hand-hold GPS-based video-logging system allows quick retrieval and effective management for the complicate and various superannuated building in urban area. The results of the study are as follows. Georeferencing data are possible to trace observed positions by using GPS linked with video and to provide building crack information anytime that could be used to inspect and analyze the safety hazard diagnosis of buildings. Building crack information were measured by the proposed method that is merged with feature tracking and image mosaic of sequenced images. From the study, it reveals that the georeferencing video technique provides more realistic and reliable information in safety diagnosis and it can also be used as the essential and modern tool in urban building management.
