The experimental work was performed to investigate the effect influenced to the hystresis and the flexural strength improvement of RC beam using carbon fiber plates. Major parameters of this experimental program were the section size of carbon fiber plates and the damage level of RC beam before reinforcement. Particularly, the damage level of beam is for the cases damaged by overloads. The damage level is for 30%, 60%, and 100% of flexural strength, and no damaged beams were also tested for comparison with the damaged one. from the test results, it showed that the beams reinforced by carbon fiber plates had the higher strength and lower deformation capacity than the general beams and that it had the same ductility ratio of the general beams.

최근들어 반복하중에 의한 철근콘크리트 구조물의 손상이 자주 발견되고 있으며 교량 등의 구조물 등은 때때로 과적차량에 의한 초과하중을 받아 이러한 피로손상이 심화되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 반복 하중을 받는 철근 콘크리트보의 누적피로손상에 대한 실험적 연구룰 수행하여 피로하중에 의한 철근콘크리트보의 손상과정을 규명하였다. 실험 변수를 전단철근의 양과 반복되는 하중의 크기 및 반복횟수로 하여 실험부재를 제작하였으며, 하중제어에 의한 휨시험법에 의해 3Hz의 반복하중을 시편에 재하하였다. 사인장 균열하중과 사인장 균열 후 반복하중에서의 보의 손상누적거동 즉 처짐. 전단철근의 변형도, 에너지 손실 등의 변화를 실험적으로 평가하였으며, 이를 통하여 반복하중에 의한 누적손상에 의해 철근 콘크리트보의처짐 및 전단변형도가 초기하중상태에서는 급격히 증가하다가 이후 점진적으로 증가하는 것을 규명하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 사용하중상태에서 점진적으로 발생할 수 있는 피로손상의 누적과정을 기술하여 주고 있다.

본 논문은 위상한정상관법을 이용하여 손상된 지문을 인식할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 위상한정상관법은 등록된 사람의 지문에 대하여 등록되지 않은 사람의 지문보다 상대적으로 높은 피크치를 나타내지만, 여러 가지 원인으로 손상된 지문에 대하여도 피크지에 대한 임계치를 찾아냄으로써 입력지문이 등록지문과 동일한지 여부를 판정할 수 있음을 보인다. 실험을 통하여 손상되는 원인별 실험적 임계치를 제시하고, 위상한정상관법과 제안된 임계지 설정방법에 의하여 손상된 지문에 대하여 유효함을 보인다.

A damage identification technique using static displacement data is developed to asses s the structural integrity of bridge structures.As such, the relationship between static displacement and stiffness is derived, and the optimization technique utilized.Comparisons with numerical and experimental tests are performed to investigate the practical applicability of the proposed method.Various damage scenarios are considered by varying damage-width as well as damage-degree. The influence of noise in identifying the damage is also numerically investigated.Finally, the applicability and limitation of the proposed method are discussed.

Various monitoring sensors are used to predict and detect structural damage. Smart sensors, such as glass-fiber sensors, PZT, and MEMS, among others, have replaced traditional sensors. They are now being used in many areas. This study aims to predict the damage by measuring the PZT voltage attached on the specimen by the applied impact load. In the experiment to detect damages in beam connection, simple $H-400{\times}200{\times}8{\times}13$ beams were spliced with bolts. The results of FFT between PZT sensor and accelrometer were compared to measure the sensitivity of the PZT sensor. The damage to the beam was presumed by loosening the bolt, and then the damage measurement was accompanied. Secondly, a steel $PL600{\times}65{\times}5.8$ plate beam was fabricated for the purpose of experimenting on damage measurement. Impact loading test on three different locations was carried out. Damage width varied between 6~42mm on both sides by cutting, using a steel saw. The ratio of frequencies before and after the damage was computed to quantify the damage level by using FFT, and the change in mode pattern with the increased damage was investigated to measure the damage.

Most experiments carried out in the previous studies dealt with the highly reinforced concrete beams (RC beams) in case of rehabilitating with external tendon. However, the reinforcing effect of external tendons cannot be clearly analyzed in this kind of RC beams because the rehabilitating tendon quantity for it is too small. By this reason, this study chose the low RC beams rehabilitated with external tendons. Therefore, in this study, 7 test beams were manufactured and flexural behavior tests were performed to assess the reinforcing effect and to find more proper rehabilitating method by external tendon. The reinforcing effect increased according to the quantity of tendons, and was especially added by repairing cracks with epoxy resin. It was shown that the design equations of AASHTO 1994 and ACI-318 did not show a good agreement with test results. The result of this study will be able to be used effectively in finding the more proper rehabilitating method of the damaged RC beams.

The main objective of this study is to examine the feasibility of using lead zirconate titanate (PZT)'s direct piezoelectric response as vibrational feature for damage monitoring in beam structures. For the purpose, modal strain energy (MSE)-based damage monitoring in beam structures using dynamic strain response based on the direct piezoelectric effect of PZT sensor is proposed in this paper. The following approaches are used to achieve the objective. First, the theoretical background of PZT's direct piezoelectric effect for dynamic strain response is presented. Next, the damage monitoring method that utilizes the change in MSE to locate of damage in beam structures is outlined. For validation, forced vibration tests are carried out on lab-scale cantilever beam. For several damage scenarios, dynamic responses are measured by three different sensor types (accelerometer, PZT sensor and electrical strain gage) and damage monitoring tasks are performed thereafter. The performance of PZT's direct piezoelectric response for MSE-based damage monitoring is evaluated by comparing the damage localization results from the three sensor types.

A methodology to nondestructively locate and estimate size of damage in beam-type structures using a few natural frequencies or a few mode shapes is presented. A damage-localization algorithm to locate damage from changes in natural frequencies and a damage-sizing algorithm to estimate crack-size from natural frequency perturbation are outlined. A damage index algorithm to localize and estimate severity of damage from monitoring changes in mode shapes is outlined. The frequency-based method and the mode-shape-based method are evaluated for several damage scenarios by locating and sizing damage in PS concrete beams lot which a few natural frequencies and mode shapes are generated from finite element models. The result of the analyses indicates that the two methods correctly localize and closely estimate the size of the crack simulated in the test beam.

단순 전단연결 구조를 가진 강철도교의 세로보 단부의 절취부위에서 많은 피로균열이 발견되었으며, 이러한 부위의 피로균열은 피로손상의 전형적인 예이다. 피로균열을 가진 세로보 절취부위의 보강방법을 연구하기 위하여 가로보 및 세로보의 상부 플랜지에 인장판을 부착한 경우와 부착하지 않은 경우로 구분하여 피로실험을 수행하였다. 피로실험에 사용된 하중은 현장에서 측정된 실동응력을 기초하여 빈도해석을 통해 산정하였다. 피로실험 결과, 인장판으로 보강한 모멘트 저항 연결구조상세가 철도교에서 균열성장을 효과적으로 정지시킬 수 있는 것으로 판명되었으며, 피로손상을 가진 절취부위의 보강방법으로 제시될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
