The determination of the depth of deteriorated concrete is one of the main problems in the structural assessment of concrete structures that have been subjected to a fire. This information is particularly important in order to optimize the future operations of repair/strengthening, or in decision-making concerning a possible demolition. The purpose of this study is to propose evaluation technique of damaged depth of concrete exposed at high temperature. In order to evaluate damaged depth of core picked at member under fire, the 24 specimens have been made with variables of concrete strength(20 MPa, 40 MPa, 60 MPa) and heating exposure condition in 600 and 800 for 2 hours. Color change analysis and water absorption after heating have been measured and split tensile stress test was performed to ka the residual compressive strength against the depth of specimen. The results show that the deeper of the depth from heating face, water absorption ratio is smaller and residual stress ratio is larger and the color of heated face is changed to red color. Using this technique at damage evaluation of fired structure, We evaluate damaged depth of member under fire and determine the reasonable strengthening range.

In this paper, damage detection procedure using the finite element model updating was formulated and applied to a small-scale frame structure. FE model updating is the analytical method which finds the mathematical model that generates the measured dynamic properties similarly, and can be effectively used for the damage detection and SHM. For model updating, several kinds of dynamic properties, such as the natural frequencies, mode shapes, and frequency response functions, can be used as the inputs. In this paper, two kinds of model updating procedures using the natrual frequency and the frequency response function, and the natrual frequency and the mode shapes, respectively, were applied to identify the location and the severity of damage of the test structure, which is a four-story two bay steel structure. Results from the damage detection showed that more accurate identification results was obtained when the natrual frequency and the frequency response function were used than when the natrual frequency and the mode shapes were used.

Rebound hammer test, SonReb method and concrete core test are most useful testing methods for estimate the concrete compressive strength of deteriorated concrete structures. But the accuracy of the NDE results on the existing structures could be reduced by the effects of the uncertainty of nondestructive test methods, material effects by aging and carbonation, and mechanical damage by drilling of core. In this study, empirical procedure for verifying the in-situ compressive strength of concrete is suggested through the probabilistic analysis on the 268 data of rebound and ultra-pulse velocity and core strengths obtained from 106 bridges. To enhance the accuracy of predicted concrete strength, the coefficients of core strength, and surface hardness caused by ageing or carbonation was adopted. From the results, the proposed equation by KISTEC and the estimation procedures proposed by authors is reliable than previously suggested equation and correction coefficient.

This study investigated the possibility of early determination of frost damage on the concrete surface by using the rebound hardness method, widely used for estimation the compressive strength of concrete on the site. For this purpose, the surface damage of concrete was compared by measuring the rebound hardness and the relative dynamic modulus of the concrete for the multi-sided and single sided concrete surface exposed to freeze and thaw condition. Compared to the resonance vibration method, the rebound hardness method was able to show the frost damage 150 cycles quicker for the single-sided exposed concrete specimen and 50 cycles quicker for the multi-sided exposed concrete specimen. Therefore, it is considered that the rebound hardness method can determine the concrete surface damage more quickly than that of the resonance vibration method.

Fingerprinting technique uses the radio signal strength measured reference locations is typically used, although there are many Wi-Fi based location tracking techniques. However, it needs numerous reference locations for precision and accuracy. This paper the analyzes problems of previous techniques and proposes a fingerprinting system using reliability based on a signal strength map. The system collects the signal strength data from a number of reference locations designated by the developer. And then it generates path-loss models to one of the access points for each reference location. These models calculate the predicted signal strength and reliability for a lattice. To evaluate proposed method and system performance, We perform experiments in a $20m{\times}22m$ real indoor environment installed access points. According to the result, the proposed system reduced distance error than RADAR. Comparing the existing system, it reduced about 1.74m.

To transmit MPEG-2 video on an errorneous channel, a number of error control techniques are needed. Especially, error concealment techniques which can be implemented on receivers independent of transmitters are essential to obtain good video quality. In this paper, prediction of motion vector and an adaptive boundary matching algorithm are presented for temporal error concealment. Before the complex BMA, we perform error concealment by a motion vector prediction using neighboring motion vectors. If the candidate of error concealment is not satisfied, search range and reliable boundary pixels are selected by the temporal activity or motion vectors and a damaged macroblock is concealed by applying an adaptive BMA. This error concealment technique reduces the complexity and maintains a PSNR gain of 0.3∼0.7㏈ compared to conventional BMA.

This paper describes a method of evaluating seismic system performance of highway transportation network in California. The basic element that plays a crucial role in this study is the fragility information of highway bridges in Caltrans' (California Department of Transportation) freeway network. The bridge fragility information is expressed as a function of the ground motion intensity, such as peak ground acceleration (PGA) or peak ground velocity (PGV). Network damage was evaluated under the 1994 Northridge earthquake and scenario earthquakes. A probabilistic model was developed to determine the effect of repair of bridge damage on the improvement of the network performance as days passed after the event. As an example, the system performance degradation measured in terms of an index, “Drivers Delay”, is calculated for the Los Angeles area transportation system, and losses due to Drivers Delay with and without retrofit were estimated.

현재 구축되어있는 방재시설의 능력은 기후위기로 인해 수용가능한 극한강우량의 범위를 넘어서고 있어 대형화된 홍수로 인한 피해가 꾸준히 발생하고 있다. 이로 인해 잠재적 홍수로 인한 도시회복도 관리와 홍수로 수반되는 피해에 대한 복구의 중요도가 높아지고 있다. 회복도는 도시의 재해 취약성, 저항, 적응, 복구, 완화에 대한 능력을 포괄하는 개념으로써 최근 주목받고 있는 개념이지만 대부분의 연구는 주로 시설에 대한 회복도 평가가 이루어지고 있다 (Sen et al.,2021). 또한 재해 후 도시복구에 관한 연구는 다수 존재하지만 복구에 따른 지역의 회복도 변화와 라이프라인과 같은 주요 시설의 복구에 따른 회복도 차이를 고려한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 도시침수 발생 후 라이프라인을 고려한 도시복구 우선순위 산정모델을 개발하고 재해관리의 효율성 향상측면에서 도시의 기능적 회복도를 평가하였다. 이를 위해 라이프라인 중 도로 복구결과의 평가를 위하여 리스크 매트릭스 기법을 이용한 도로위험도평가를 수행하였으며 도시의 회복도를 측정하였다. 회복도를 크게 홍수로부터 도시가 받은 영향과 재해복구역량으로 구성하였으며 정량적인 평가를 위해 각각 손상함수와 재해재난목적예비비를 활용하여 산정하였다. 이후 복구우선순위를 산정하였으며 복구와 도시회복도와의 관계를 분석하기 위하여 재해연보 자료를 기초로 회귀분석을 통해 복구비용을 추정하였다 (유순영 등.,2014). 시범지역에 적용한 결과 시설 및 도로 복구에 따른 도시영향의 변화보다 복구비사용으로 인한 재해복구역량의 변화가 더욱 크다는 것을 확인하였다. 이는 재해재난목적예비비의 중요성이 크다는 것을 의미하며 향후 추가적인 인문학적, 법제적 요소가 회복도에 미치는 영향을 연구한다면 도시회복도 향상 및 도시복구에 관한 정책적 의사결정에 큰 도움이 될 것이다.

2017년 12월 기준 우리나라에 등록된 자동차는 약 2,200만 이상으로, 그 증가율은 매년 증가하는 추세이다. 이러한 최근 차량대수 및 고자산인 외산차 보유율 증가는 자연재난에서 노출과 관련한 위험도를 증가시키는 주요인이 되며, 홍수발생 시 상당한 규모의 경제적 피해를 야기한다. 현재 국가연구개발사업으로 진행 중인 행정안전부(2017) 연구는 위험지역 내 차량의 공간적 분포와 차량유형별 침수심에 따른 취약성을 고려하여 어떠한 홍수사상으로부터 예상되는 차량 피해액을 추정하는 방법을 제시한 바 있다. 여기서는 어떠한 집계구 내에서 동일한 침수심 구간을 가지는 면(polygon)을 분석단위로 하고 있는 데, 이를 편의성 차원에서 벡터자료에 기반 한 연산과정을 수행할 경우 정의된 침수구역도(재해정보)의 고유 정보가 훼손되거나, 세분화된 침수심 구간에 따른 손상률 관계를 사용할 수 없는 문제점이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 격자 기반의 침수구역도와 인벤토리 지도로부터 Raster GIS 공간연산을 활용한 차량피해 산정절차를 제시하였고, 이를 신천수계 하천기본계획(경기도, 2011)에서 계획된 치수사업에 적용하여 홍수빈도별 사업시행 전후 상황에 적용하였다. 이 과정에서 침수구역도는 인벤토리 상의 집계구 면적을 고려하여 $5m{\times}5m$ 크기로 제작하였고, 동일한 격자크기로 변환된 인벤토리는 변환 전후 면적을 기준으로 할 때 거의 오차가 없는 것으로 확인되었다. 그리고 Raster 공간연산으로부터 침수편입률을 결정하는 과정에서 집계구 넘버 및 침수심 정보를 확인하기 위한 자료별 전처리 과정을 제시하였고, 여기서 집계구 넘버는 인벤토리 정보와 침수심 정보는 손상함수와 연계된다. 본 연구에서 제시한 결과는 향후 실무에서 직접 적용하는 데 활용하기 위하여 방법론과 함께 가이드라인 문서로 정리할 계획이다.
