A new damage detection technique using static displacement data was developed, in order to assess the structural integrity of bridge structures. In conventional damage assessment techniques using dynamic response, the variation of natural frequencies is intrinsically insensitive to the damage of the bridge: thus, it is usually difficult to obtain them from the measured data. The proposed detection method enables the estimation of the stiffness reduction of bridges using the static displacement data that are measured periodically, without requiring a specific loading test. Devices such as a laser displacement sensor can be used to measure static displacement data due to the dead load of the bridge structure. In this study, structural damage was represented by the reduction in the elastic modulus of the element. The damage factor of the element was introduced to estimate the stiffness reduction of the bridge under consideration. Likewise, the proposed algorithm was verified using various numerical simulations and compared with other damage detection methods. The effects of noise and number of damaged elements on damage detection were also investigated. Results showed that the proposed algorithm efficiently detects damage on the bridge.

This paper describes a GIS-based assessment of residential building damage caused by the 1994 Northridge earthquake in which the fractions of existing buildings damaged at various percentages of replacement cost are related to a range of seismic parameters. The assessment uses data from safety inspection reports and tax assessor records, both of which were geocoded and linked to seismic parameters derived from strong motion records at 164 different sites. The paper also describes a GIS-based pattern recognition algorithm for identifying locations of most intense building damage. The algorithm provides a framework for rapidly screening remote sensing data and dispatching emerging services.

암석이 화학적으로 매우 불균일하기 때문에 암석에 있어서 자연적인 풍화와 인위적인 오염에서 기인한 손상을 구별짓는다는 것은 간단하지 않다. 석재의 화학적인 풍화는 스며든 빗물이나 오염먼지 등에 의해 생성된 물질의 농도변화로 표현되어 진다. 특히 벽면 표면의 두터운 검은 외각과 얇은 검은 막은 미관상으로 뿐만 아니라 암석 자체에도 큰 손상을 끼친다. 일반적으로 이런 검은 물질들은 비 등의 수분과 직접적인 접촉이 없고, 농축된 오염물질들이 쉽게 쌓일 수 있는 곳에서 찾아볼 수 있다. 천연 암석과 마찬가지로 검게 손상된 층 또한 화학적으로 매우 복잡한 체계를 갖고 있어 그 생성 원인과 메커니즘을 규명하는 것이 어려운 일이다. 이 흑색 층은 일반적으로 공기오염물질, 유기물, 철과 망간등의 유색광물의 이동과 침착의 현상에서 생성될 수 있다. 건물들의 외벽에 사용된 여러 종류의 사암과 석회암, 인조석의 표면에는 여러 풍화 손상 형태가 나타나고 있다. 특히 표면에 있는 검은 막의 성질을 알아보기 위해 화학성분을 주성분과 미량성분으로 나누어 측정하였고, 화학적인 특징을 예측하기 위해서 분석자료를 여러 통계적인 방법으로 처리하였다.

Degradation occurred at the 6 inch swing check valve in nuclear power plant. Valve replacement and maintenance were carried out during the plant O/H. This report examined the degradation mechanism of the 6 inch check valve by the experimental and theoretical study. Results shows that the degradation was caused by valve chattering which due to the structural and acoustic resonance.

'93.4월에 고리원자력 4호기 운전중(원자로 출력 100%, 발전기 출력 975MWe) 주증기 차단밸브 (MSIV)의 닫힘으로 인해 발전소가 정지되었다. 밸브분해 점검결과 밸브스템이 Back Seat Ring 조립부위 Notch 부위에서 Steam Flow와 평행한 방향으로 절단되어, 밸브스템의 손상원인을 규명하기 위한 본 연구에서는 피로해석절차도에 따라 S-N 곡선에 근거하여 피로해석을 수행하였다. 피로해석결과 밸브스템의 초기균열 생성원인은 Stem Notch 부위의 제작결함과 발전소 정지시 밸브를 급속히 닫을 때 작용하는 충격하중등에 의해 발생된 것으로 추정되며 인장평균응력과 관내 유체의 진동하중의 변동응력이 조합하여 피로균열을 가속시켜 파손을 일으킨 것으로 사교된다.

This paper provides an experimental verification of an FRF-based structural damage identification method (SDIM) developed by the authors for beam structures. The FRF-based SDIM requires the following data : (1) natural frequencies and mode shapes measured at the intact state and (2) the FRF-data measured at the damaged state. Experiments are conducted for the cantilevered beam with one slot and three slots. It is shown that the FRF-based SDIM developed by the authors provide very successful damage identification results which agree well with true damage state.

For detecting toxicity of endocrine disruptors (EDs), rapid, sensitive, and simple methods are needed. Therefore, in this study, a new method in which the different toxic effect of EDs can be monitored using 4 different recombinant bacteria was designed and evaluated. It was found that the recombinant bacteria could monitor the toxic effect, not estrogenic effect, due to EDCs through the measurement of bioluminescence and cell growth rate, which were shown to depend upon a form of cellular toxicity, such as DNA damage, protein damage, oxidative damage, and membrane damage. In addition, it was found that the damage done by EDCs can be divided into several groups based upon the toxic mechanisms of the EDCs

An investigation into the detailed safety diagnosis report indicates that domestic highway bridges mainly suffer from defects, deterioration, and damage due to physical forces. In particular, deterioration is an inevitable damage that occurs due to various environmental and external factors over time. In particular, bridge deck is very vulnerable to cracks, which occur along with various types of damages such as rebar corrosion and surface delamination. Thus, this study evaluates a correlation between heterogeneous damage and deterioration environment and then identifies the main causes of such heterogeneous damage. After all, a bridge heterogeneous damage prediction model was developed using random forests to determine the top five factors contributing to the occurrence of the heterogeneous damage. The results of the study would serve as a basic data for estimating bridge maintenance and budget.

The precision cyclic shear test system was established to investigate the mechanical characteristics of rough rock joints under cyclic loading conditions. Laboratory cyclic shear tests were conducted for saw-cut joints and artificial rough rock joints using Hwangdeung granite and Yeosan marble. Surface roughness and aperture characteristics of specimens were examined by measuring surface topography using the laser profilometer. Peak shear strength, phase difference during loading and unloading, and anisotropic shear behavior were investigated throughout the cyclic shear test results. These features and their subsequent variations in each loading cycle are significantly dependent upon the second order asperities and the strength of intact rock. It was observed that degradation of asperities for rough rock joints under cyclic shear loading followed the exponential degradation laws of asperity angle and that the mechanism for asperity degradation would be different depending upon the normal stress level, roughness of joint surface and the loading stage.

화학제염 기술은 산화제, 환원제, 금속이온, 무기산등이 혼합되어 있는 화학용액을 사용하여 원전기기 계통 내부에 생성된 고방사능 준위의 산화막과 오염물질을 제거하는 기술이다. 원전의 해체 및 유지보수에 있어 방사능 피복저감을 위한 필수적인 기술이다. 현재 원전 해체 산업은 잠재성이 높은 고부가가치 창출 산업으로 주목을 받고 있다. 원전 보유국의 경우, 기존 상용 제염기술과는 차별성 있는 제염기술을 확보하고자 노력하고 있다. 기존의 공정과 비교하여 공정비용 및 시간을 감소시킬 수 있어야 할 뿐만 아니라, 화학용액에 의한 원전 계통 금속 부품의 부식 및 손상을 최소화해야 한다. 금속 부품이 화학약품에 의한 부식손상을 받는다면 금속 부품의 수명 및 재활용 가치가 감소하기 때문에, 화학제염 기술 적용에 있어 용액에 대한 재료의 건전성 평가가 사전에 필히 이루어져야 한다. 본 연구에서는 원전 냉각재 펌프용 재료로 주로 사용되는 Stainless 304강을 시험편으로 선정하여, 화학제염 시험공정 3가지에 대한 부식손상 특성을 규명하였다. 산화공정은 과망간산($HMnO_4$) 용액을 공통으로 사용하였으며, 산화공정 종료 후 환원공정은 각 시험공정에 따라 시험공정 1은 옥살산($H_2C_2O_4$) 2000ppm, 시험공정 2는 옥살산($H_2C_2O_4$)1500ppm + 시트르산($H_8C_6O_7$)500ppm, 그리고 시험공정 3은 옥살산($H_2C_2O_4$) 3000ppm 용액을 각각 투입하여 수행하였다. 산화, 환원공정을 1Cycle로 하여, 각 시험공정 별로 총 5Cycle을 실시하였다. 각 시험공정 Cycle종료 후 시험편을 취외하여 무게감량측정, SEM(Scanning electron microscope) 분석, 3D현미경분석 그리고 타펠분극 실험을 실시하였다. 각 분석결과를 토대로 하여, Stainless 304강에 대한 화학제염 시 모델별 시험공정에 따른 부식특성을 규명하였다.
