This study deals with the viscoelastic damper system with displacement-amplification unit (DAU) which can maximize the effectiveness of a damper system in controlling seismic response of a building by amplifying story drift induced to damper. DAUs in this study were analyzed to be able to amplify the displacement 2 to 4 times greater than the original story drift. The efficiency of each DAU was expressed by $\beta$ (DAU ratio) and examined in this analytical study.

This study presents a technique to control quantitatively lateral drift of RC tall frameworks subject to lateral loads. To this end, lateral drift constraints are established by introducing approximation concept that preserves the generality of the mathematical programming and can efficiently solve large scale problems. Also the relationships of sectional properties are established to reduce the number of design variables and resizing technique of member is developed under the 'constant-shape' assumption. Specifically, the methodology of dynamic displacement sensitivity analysis is developed to formulate the approximated lateral displacement constraints. Three types of 10 and 50 story RC framework models are considered to illustrate the features of dynamic stiffness-based optimal design technique proposed in this study.

The magnitudes of wall thrust acting on quay walls can easily vary due to the development of excess pore pressure in backfill. In this research, a new displacement model was proposed to predict the displacement of the wall considering such magnitude variations of the wall thrust. This model is based on Newmark sliding block concept. The magnitude variation of the wall thrust is modelled by varying the magnitude of yield acceleration. The parametric study was performed to analyze the effects of input parameters on the seismic displacement of the wall, and the validity of this model was verified by comparing its predicted displacements with those of Is shaking table tests.

In this study, problems of RTK (Real Time Kinematic)-GPS (Global Positioning System) and an accelerometer sensor when applied to structures were experimentally identified through a comparison between results of the displacement measurement using the RTK-GPS, the accelerometer, and LVDT (Linear variable differential transformer). Integrated displacement was calculated by the improved RTK-GPS and accelerometer on the frequency of observation and positioning accuracy. This integrated displacement was also compared with that of LVDT to check the validity of application and feasibility.

This paper is regarding a new input interface based on displacement of mobile devices having a camera. The mobile device can capture consecutive images by the camera, the displacement of the device is estimated by computing the displacement between consecutive images in real-time. The proposed system extracts feature points based on SUSAN comer detector which has low computational complexity. We generate Voronoi domain by using the two-pass algorithm to match extracted features. Finally, the displacement of a mobile device is estimated by calculating SAD values between two consecutive images. We evaluated the performance of the proposed algorithm with 1500 images. True matching accuracy of the proposed algorithm is 90% and the computation for each image is conducted in 5m sec.

최근 기후변화와 하천 제방의 노후화로 인해 수재해 위험이 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 그러나 기존의 재래적인 하천 제방의 점검은 많은 인력과 예산 소모로 비효율적이며 제방 전구간 점검의 한계, 객관성의 한계 등 많은 한계점들이 존재하여 효과적인 홍수 대응을 위해 새로운 모니터링과 예/경보 시스템의 구축이 반드시 필요한 상황이다. 따라서 본 연구는 인공위성을 이용한 하천 제방 변위 산출과 수문학적 요인과의 관계 분석을 통해 하천 제방 건강상태 모니터링 시스템 방안을 제안하고자 한다. Sentinel-1 SAR 영상과 유럽 우주국(ESA)의 위성 영상 전처리 도구인 SNAP을 이용하여 2020년 여름 붕괴된 남원시의 금곡교 제방의 봄(4~5월), 여름(7~8월)의 변위를 산출하였고, 제방의 위험도 산정을 위해 토양수분관계를 분석하였다. 선행 연구(김상우,2019)에서는 농촌진흥청에서 제공하는 TDR(Time Domain Reflectrometry) 관측값과 Sentinel-1 SAR의 후방 산란계수의 토양수분관계가 일치하는 경향을 제시하여, 본 연구에서는 이를 이용하여 제방 후 방산란계수를 산출하고 변위와 토양수분도의 상관관계를 분석하여 변위 추세와 토양수분도의 추세가 일치하는 경향을 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 향후에는 위성을 이용하여 산출한 제방의 변위와 토양수분도의 불확실성을 보완하고 기온, 수위, 토양도, 지하수위와 같은 수문기상학적 데이터의 분석을 통해 초정밀, 자동화 하천 제방 건강상태 모니터링 시스템이 구현 가능할 것으로 기대한다.

본 논문에서는 목조 문화재 영상에서의 변위를 효율적으로 감지하기 위한 객체 중심 증강 기법을 사용한 모델을 제안한다. 우선 객체 중심 증강 기법을 적용하여 변위 객체들이 이미지 공간상의 어느 곳이든 위치할 수 있게끔 데이터를 구성한 이후 사전 학습된 합성 곱 신경망을 사용하여 입력 이미지에 대한 심층 특징 벡터를 추출한다. 그 이후 심층 특징 벡터는 완전 연결 계층의 입력 값으로 들어와서 최종적으로 변위가 존재하는지 아닌지에 대한 예측을 수행하게 된다. 데이터 셋으로는 충주시 근처의 문화재에 방문해서 수집한 목조 문화재 이미지를 가지고 정상 및 비정상으로 구분한 데이터 셋을 사용하였다. 실험 결과 우리가 제안한 객체 중심 증강 기법을 사용한 모델이 객체 중심 증강 기법을 사용하지 않은 모델보다 목조 문화재에서 변위 영역을 더 잘 감지함을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과로부터 우리가 제안한 방법이 목재 문화재의 변위 검출에 있어서 매우 적합함을 보여준다.

To analyze lateral displacement of excavation walls exposed during the construction of Subway Line 1 in the Daegu region, inclinometer measurement data for sites D4, D5, and Y6 are investigated from the perspective of engineering geology. The study area, in the Banyawol Formation, Hayang Group, Gyeongsang Supergroup, is in the lower part of bedrock of andesitic volcanics, calcareous shale, sandstone, hornfels, and felsite dykes that are unconformably overlain by soil. The rock mass around the D4 site is classified as RMR-V grade and the maximum lateral displacement of 101.39 mm, toward N34W, was measured at a bedding-parallel fault, at a depth of 12 m. The rock mass around the D5 site is classified as RMR-IV grade and the maximum lateral displacement of 55.17 mm, toward the south, was measured at a lithologic contact between shale and felsite, at a depth of 14 m. The rock mass around the Y6 site is classified as RMR-III grade and the maximum lateral displacement of 12.65 mm, toward S52W, was measured at an unconformity between the soil and underlying bedrocks, at a depth of 7 m. The directions of lateral displacement in the excavation walls are vector sums of the directions perpendicular to the excavation wall and horizontally parallel to the excavation wall. Lateral displacement graphs according to depth in the soil profile show curvilinear trajectories, whereas those in bedrock show straight and rapid-displacement trajectories.

Steel restrainer cables for multiple frame bridges in California in the United States have been shown to be effective in preventing unseating at internal hinges during the past several earthquakes. Consequently, the steel-cable-restrainer is being tested for applications on multiple-span-simply-supported (MSSS) bridges in the mid-American region. In addition, shape memory alloy (SMA) bars in tension are being studied for the same application, multiple frame bridges, the developed seismic forces are transferred to piers through the restrainers. However, in MSSS bridges, the seismic forces are transferred to abutments by the restrainers. Therefore, the abutment' behavior should also be investigated. In this study, we assessed the seismic performance of the three types of restrainers, such as steel restrainer cables, SMA in tension, and SMA in bending for an MSSS bridge from moderate to strong ground motion, bending test of an SMA bar was conducted and its analytical model was determined for this study. Nonlinear time history analyses were conducted to assess the seismic responses of the as-built and the retrofitted bridges. All three types of restrainers reduced the hinge opening and the SMA in tension was the most effective of the three devices in preventing the unseating, all restrainers produced damage on the abutment from the pulling action of the MSSS bridge due to strong ground motions, was found that the retrofit of the abutment in the pulling action is required in the installation of restrainers in MSSS bridges.

FBG sensors are capable of measuring the strain of structures easily and more durably than electric resistance gauges. Thus, many researches are dedicated to the application for the response monitoring or non-destructive evaluation of structures using FBG sensors. Additionally, the measured strains at the top and bottom of a cross-section can be transformed into the curvature of the section, which can be used to calculate its vertical displacement. Hence, this study aims to measure the dynamic strain signals of a steel section simply supported beam and to estimate the dynamic displacement from the strain signals, after which the estimated displacement is com pared with the measured displacement. The dynamic characteristics (natural frequency, damping ratio and mode shape) of the beam are predicted from both the estimated and measured displacement signals, and from the strain time history of the FBG sensors. The predicted properties are compared with those of an analytical model of the beam. The estimated displacement. However, the predicted dynamic properties from both the estimated displacements and the measured strains are well-correlated with those from the measured displacement. It is therefore appreciated that the estimation of the dynamic properties of FBG sensor signals is reasonable. Especially, the strain signal of the FBG sensor was amplified at a higher-frequency region in comparison with the displacement estimation with higher-mode properties.
