상수도 시스템은 물을 수용가에 깨끗하고 충분하게 공급하는 사회기반시설 중 하나이다. 최근 상수도관로 노후화로 인하여 발생하는 누수, 적수, 단수 등의 피해를 방지하기 위하여 상수도관로 점검 및 진단을 수행하고 관 상태를 평가하여 해당 요소에 대한 보수 및 보강을 시행하고 있다. 하지만 기존의 정비사업은 관 노후도를 고려한 보강계획을 수립하여 효과적인 상수도 시스템 정비를 위하여 상수도관로에 영향을 미치는 수리 및 수질 평가를 통합적으로 고려한 보강 우선순위 결정이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 상수도 시스템의 구조적, 비구조적 평가 인자를 동시에 고려한 시스템 보강 우선순위 선정을 위한 통합평가 기술을 제안하였다. 보강 우선순위 선정을 위하여 실제 상수도관로가 설치된 지역을 대상으로 상수도관로의 수리. 수질, 관 상태 등의 구조적 인자와 중요시설, 단수 시 피해인구 등의 비구조적 인자를 고려한 통합평가를 수행하였다. 구조적 인자 중 수리 및 수질 인자는 수리해석기법을 이용하여 기준치 통과 여부에 따라 평가하였으며 상수도관로의 관 상태는 관로의 제원, 매설 깊이, 노후도 등의 기준으로 평가하였다. 이러한 평가를 바탕으로 우선순위 선정을 위해 다기준의사결정법을 이용하여 상수도관로의 보강 우선순위를 선정하였다. 본 통합평가는 상수도관로의 구조적, 비구조적 위험도를 정량적으로 인지할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 비구조적 인자를 고려하여 기존의 평가방법보다 더 신뢰할 수 있는 결과를 제공한다.

이태리를 비롯한 대부분의 유럽 국가들에 건설된 많은 기존 도로 및 철도 교량들 중에는 현재의 구조설계기준이나 교통시스템, 유지관리비용 절감 등을 고려한 요구조건과 비교했을 때 구조적 안전성과 기능성을 만족시키지 못하는 경우가 종종 있다. 따라서 어떤 형식의 교량이든 특정 취약성을 평가할 수 있는 신속하고 신뢰성 있는 방법론이 필요하다. 이 논문의 앞부분은 이태리 내 도로 및 철도 구조물에 대해 그런 형태의 방법론의 적용에 대해 기술하였으며, 그 결과를 보면, 한 예로 조적조 아치 교량이 일반적으로 상당히 건전한 구조 시스템으로 나타났으며 RC 교량은 일반적으로 내구성 문제를 드러내며 지진하중에 대해서도 취약한 것으로 나타났다. 강교량은 내구성 문제 외에 피로에 특히 취약한 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 이 논문에서 고려한 전형적인 보강기법들에 대해 간략히 소개하였다. 뒷부분에서는 네 개의 기존 RC교량을 중심으로 주요 교량보강 사례연구들에 대해 좀 더 자세히 기술하였다. 이 교량들은 2차 세계대전 이후에 가장 일반적으로 채택되던 형식들 중의 한 예로 보강기법의 일반적 성질을 고찰하는데 있어 적합하다. 교량의 성능개선에 대해서는 방법론적 접근에 대해 개략적으로 나타내었으며, 여기에는 구조물의 유형적 특성, 유지관리 현황, 기능적 요구조건 및 보수 보강 시스템과 연계된 환경적인 면을 고려하고 있다.

Post-grouting for the drilled shaft is known to remarkably increase the end bearing capacity of pile by consolidating and reinforcing the disturbed ground containing slime around the pile tip. However, the general design guideline for post-grouting has not been established yet in Korea. Especially in the domestic application, the post-grouting is employed just for repairing the pile with unacceptable resistance rather than for increasing the design resistance of pile. Therefore, little is reported about the effect of post-grouting on the pile resistance itself. In this study, the effect of post-grouting on the resistance of drilled shafts installed in the weathered rock in Korea was estimated by performing the bi-directional load tests on the piles with and without the post-grouting. The test results presented that the initial slope of end bearing-base displacement curve in the pile with post-grouting was 4 times higher than that without post-grouting. At the acceptable settlement (1% of pile diameter), the end bearing capacities of piles with and without the post-grouting were estimated to be 12.0 MPa and 7.0 MPa, respectively, which indicate that the post-grouting could increase the end bearing resistance of pile in weathered rock more than 70%.

To overcome the disadvantages of conventional excavation technology various trenchless (or excavation free, or no-dig) repair-reinforcement technologies have been developed and tried. But trenchless technologies so far developed have some drawbacks such as high cost and inconvenience of operation. In this study, a repairing-reinforcing process for underground pipes with glass fiber fabric polymer composites using VARTM (Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding) has been developed. The developed process requires shorter operation time and lower cost with smaller and simpler operating equipments than those of the conventional trenchless technologies. For the reliable operation of the developed method, a simple method to apply pressure and vacuum to the reinforcement was devised and flexible mold technology was tried. Also, resin filling and cure status during RTM process were monitored with a commercial dielectrometry cure monitoring system, LACOMCURE. From the investigation, it has been found that the developed repairing-reinforcing technology with appropriate process variables and on-line cure monitoring has many advantages over conventional methods.

Nonlinear analyses have been carried out for both bridge piers and a bridge structure being repaired using a repair element in order to assess the post-repair seismic response of such structures. For this purpose, a simplified CFRP stress-strain model has been proposed. The analytical predictions incorporating the current developments correlate reasonably well with experimental results in terms of strength and stiffness. In addition, nonlinear dynamaic analyses have also been conducted for a bridge structure in terms of the created multiple earthquake sets to evaluate the effect of pier repair on the response of a whole bridge structure. In these analyses, potential plastic hinge zones of piers are virtually repaired by CFRP and steel jacketing. Comparative results prove the virtual necessity of performing nonlinear post-repair analyses under multiple earthquakes, particularly when the post-repair response features are required. In all, the present approaches are expected to provide salient information regarding a healthy seismic repair intervention of a damaged strcuture.

As earthquakes have frequently happened all over the world, huge losses of human life and property have occurred. Therefore, retrofitting and strengthen technologies of non-seismically designed structures in Korea are urgent. Also, there has been a growing interest about seismic retrofitting, where researches on the topic have been actively pursued in Korea. The study results showed that ductility inducing retrofitting method is more superior stiffness inducing method. In Japan, Super Reinforcement with Flexibility (SRF) was introduced. Therefore, in this study, seismic performance evaluation was performed through pseudo dynamic test and uniaxial compression test for RC column retrofitted by PolyUrea for ductility inducing retrofitting material. Uniaxial compression test results showed that strength of all specimens retrofitted by PolyUrea was higher than that of RC specimens. Also, all specimens retrofitted by PolyUrea also showed ductile fracture behavior. In pseudo dynamic test, by appling real earthquake record, the seismic behavior of RC column reinforced by PolyUrea was evaluated through relative displacement, reinforcement strain, displacement ductility, and dissipation energy. The results showed that PolyUrea helped to enhance seismic performance of RC columns.

Aging and severe environments are major causes of damage in reinforced concrete (RC) structures such as buildings and bridges. Deterioration such as concrete cracks, corrosion of steel, and deformation of structural members can significantly degrade the structural performance and safety. Therefore, effective and easy-to-use methods are desired for repairing and strengthening such concrete structures. Various methods for strengthening and rehabilitation of RC structures have been developed in the past several decades. Recently, FRP composite materials have emerged as a cost-effective alternative to the conventional materials for repairing, strengthening, and retrofitting deteriorating/deficient concrete structures, by externally bonding FRP laminates to concrete structural members. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) in predicting behavior of circular type concrete column retrofitted with FRP. To construct training and testing dataset, experiment results for the specimens which have different retrofit profile are used. Retrofit ratio, strength of existing concrete, thickness, number of layer, stiffness, ultimate strength of fiber and size of specimens are selected as input parameters to predict strength, strain, and stiffness of post-yielding modulus. These proposed ANFIS models show reliable increased accuracy in predicting constitutive properties of concrete retrofitted by FRP, compared to the constitutive models suggested by other researchers.

In general the stability of soil nail-slope system, the shear resistance is neglected because the tensile resistance of nail acts mainly for slope stabilization. This is because that deformed steel is generally used for nail and it does ductile behavior. In other side when the steel pipe with high rigidity is used for nail, the shear resistance at failure surface work more than deformed steel. In order to analyze effects of shear resistance at the soil nail-slope system with high steel piped nail, a series of numerical analyses were performed. Also numerical analyses at 3 conditions - 5 nailed, 7 nailed, 9 nailed at the same slope were perfomed for investigating the trend of shear resistance effect. From these 3D numerical analyses, it was found that the maximum shear resistances at each nails were larger in case of steel piped nail and because of this, the factor of safety at the condition of the steel piped nail appears larger than that of deformed steel nail.

The Green Wall system, developed in Austria early 1960, is one of segmental concrete crib type earth retaining wall. Green wall is constructed as procedures that lay the front stretchers, rear stretchers and headers then making a rigid body through harden filled soil of interior cell. Green wall has pro-environmental advantages that able to grow grass in front space of stretchers and decrease cutting ground. In Europe, Green wall used without other reinforcement method. However, green wall used with other reinforcement method like a soil nailing because of environmental problem. This study was performed to introduce the design case by 'Two-Body Translation mechanism' to be able to consider distribution of earth pressure in the soil nailing when designing the green wall using soil nailing system. Also, this study attempts to evaluate the earth pressure change when advanced soil nailing system is constructed using $FLAC^{2D}$ ver. 3.30 program and 'Two-Body Translation mechanism'.

Slope failures are one of the significant disasters which causes lots of human casualties and huge financial losses every year. Previous researches on the slope failure have indicated that most accidents are closely related to the pore water pressure in the slope due to rainfall during the rainy seasons or stormy weather conditions. It would be therefore appropriate to consider the effect of pore water pressure in the design of slopes. As the existing slopes are generally reinforced by plants and other slope protecting measures, their boundary conditions are highly complicated. In this paper an attempt to develop a new modeling and analysis technique of slopes is proposed by including pore water pressure and adopting the coupled finite element method. Non-reinforced and reinforced slope models are considered. Representative analysis showed that the numerical modeling considering pore water pressure is appropriate in slope stability analysis. Flow behavior in the slopes is identified for various hydraulic boundary conditions. It is also shown that the effect of pore water pressure on slope stability is significant.
