Quantifying the extent and characteristics of the excavation damage zone(EDZ) is important for the nuclear waste industry which relies on the sealing of underground openings to minimize the risk for radionuclide transport. At AECL's Underground Research Laboratory(URL) the Tunnel Sealing Experiment(TSX) was conducted and the tunnel geometry and orientation relative to the stress field had been selected to minimize the potential for the development of an EDZ. The extent and characteristics of the EDZ was measured using velocity profiling and permeability measurements in radial boreholes. The results from this EDZ characterization are used in this paper to evaluate a modeling fir estimating the extent of the EDZ. The methodology used a damage model formulated in the Universal Distinct Element Code and calibrated to laboratory properties. This model was then used to predict the extent of crack initiation and growth around the TSX tunnel and the results compared to the measured damage. The development of the damage zone in the numerical model was found to be in good agreement with the field measurements.

과적차량의 통행에 의한 교량구조물의 손상도를 평가하는 방법의 개발이 매우 활발하다. 본 연구에서는 과거 15년동안 통행한 교통데이타를 분석하고, 이 데이타를 근거로 교량의 손상도를 분석한다. 차량의 분류는 4종으로 대표하여 차량하중을 분석하였으며 해석시에는 이를 대표하는 2종을 사용하였다. 3차원해석을 통하여 구한 영향면을 이용하여 부재력을 계산하고 이를 이용하여 등가응력범위를 구한다. 이 결과는 모형실험을 통하여 구한 피로결과와 비교하였다. 분석결과 설계하중을 초과하는 과적차량이 교량에 미치는 손상정도는 적은 통행빈도에도 불구하고 매우 큼을 알 수 있고, 이러한 실제교통량의 분석을 통한 교량의 손상평가방법은 과적차량에 의한 교량손상정도를 유용하게 평가할 수 있다.

Controlling the blast-induced damage zone(BDZ) in mining excavation is a significant issue for the safety of employees and the maintenance of facilities. Numerous studies have been conducted to accurately predict the BDZ in underground mining. This study employed the dynamic fracture process analysis (DFPA) to estimate the BDZ from a single hole blasting. The estimated BDZ were compared with the results obtained by Swedish empirical equation. The DFPA was also used to investigate the control mechanism of BDZ and fracture plane formation around perimeter holes for underground mining blasting.

In the present study, influence of earthquake intensity range on seismic fragility analysis of a RC bridge has been evaluated. For this purpose, a RC bridge damaged by a past earthquake has been selected, and analytical model of the bridge has been developed for nonlinear dynamic time-history analysis. A total of 25 recorded earthquake motions have been employed for the nonlinear analysis from which maximum lateral drift ratio of piers are obtained. Then, seismic fragility analysis has been conducted for the bridge using the nonlinear analysis results. Probability of exceeding damage has been computed in terms of using the maximum likelihood estimation, and effect of earthquake intensity range of the motions on seismic fragility curves has been assessed analytically. Analytical predictions indicate that the earthquake intensity range is of utmost significance for rationale seismic fragility analysis reflecting a physical damage state of a bridge and seismic performance evaluation of such bridge.

화재보험은 보험기간 내 보험목적에 화재가 발생할 경우 화재로 인해 손상된 직접 손해와 화재 진화과정에서 발생하는 소방 손해를 보상한다. 화재보험은 타 보험에 비해 비교적 보상범위가 넓지만, 그렇다고 보험금 사취목적의 방화를 보상하지는 않는다.

본 논문에서는 오실레이터 센서와 램파 센서를 결합하여 구조물 손상 진단을 위한 통합된 압전 센서 시스템을 제안한다. 구조물 손상으로 인한 공진주파수 변화를 관측할 수 있는 오실레이터 센서는 손상 정도에 민감하게 반응하고 구조가 단순한 장치이지만 측정 범위가 센서 주위로 제한되는 특성을 가진다. 반면에 램파를 이용한 진단 시스템은 원거리에 위치한 구조물의 손상부를 감지하기에 유용하다. 본 논문에서는 오실레이터 센서를 이용한 취약 지점의 국부적인 손상 진단 방식과 램파를 이용한 광역적인 손상 진단 방식을 결합하여 각 시스템의 장점들을 활용할 수 있는 센서 시스템의 적용가능성을 연구하였다. PZT소자를 알루미늄 판에 적용하여, 알루미늄판의 손상 정도에 따른 오실레이터 공진주파수의 변화와 램파 신호의 Time of flight, 그리고 진폭의 변화를 이용하여 구조물 손상형태의 판별 가능성을 제시하고 실험을 통하여 그 타당성을 검증하였다.

손상함수란 건물, 차량, 농작물 등과 같은 피해대상물에 재난강도에 따른 취약도(vulnerability)를 정량화한 함수로, 재난리스크 모델에서 널리 사용되는 개념이다. 홍수재난에서 손상함수는 일반적으로 피해지역에서 조사된 경험적 피해자료(empirical data)를 활용하거나, 표준화된 피해대상물에 대한 손상성을 전문가의 의견(expert opinion)을 참고하여 개발된다. 이때, 취약도를 설명하는 설명변수는 일반적으로 침수심(inundation depth)이 사용되며, 그에 따른 취약도는 손상률(percent damage)로서 상대함수 형태가 일반적이다. 본 연구는 주거건물(residential building)에 대한 손상함수 개발을 위해 자연재난 손해사정 경력자(8인)를 대상으로 표준화된 주거건물(단독주택, 아파트, 연립/다세대주택)에 대해 침수에 따른 건물 손상성을 조사하였다. 주거건물 손상성을 설명하는 최대범위는 건물내부 바닥고를 기준으로 침수심 3m까지이며, 침수심 변화에 따른 손상성을 건물신축 공종에 따라 질의하고 이를 종합하였다. 조사과정은 (1) 표준건물에 대한 정의, (2) 공종별 침수에 따른 손상여부 질의, (3) 공종별 최대 손상률 평가 및 주요 피해내역 토의, (4) 공종별 침수심에 따른 손상률 평가, (5) 결과종합의 단계로 진행되었고, 이를 통해 주거건물 유형에 따른 손상함수를 개발할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 개발된 손상함수는 다양한 침수높이에서 주거건물에 대한 취약도를 설명하는 데 장점이 있으나, 그 결과는 향후 홍수피해지역을 대상으로 수집된 다양한 피해조사 결과와 비교하여 보완될 필요가 있다.

Analyzing the tunnel excavation behavior and its effect on the surrounding ground involves large deformation behavior. Therefore, in order to properly simulate the tunnel excavation process and rigorously investigate the actual effect of excavation on surrounding ground and tunnel structure large deformation analysis method is required. In this study, two major numerical approaches capable of considering large deformations behavior were applied to investigate the effect of tunnel boring machine excavation on the surrounding ground: coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) and the automatic remeshing (AR) method. Relative performance of both approaches was evaluated through the ground response due to TBM excavation. The ground response will be quantified by estimating the range of the excavation damaged zone (EDZ). By comparing the results, the range of the EDZ will be suggested on the vertical and horizontal direction along the TBM excavation surface. Based on the computed results, it was found that the size of EDZ around the excavation surface and the tendencies was in good agreement among the two approaches. Numerical results clearly show that the size of the EDZ around the tunnel tends to be larger for rock with higher RMR rating. The size of the EDZ is found to be direct proportional to the tunnel diameter, whereas the depth of the tunnel is inversely proportional due to higher confinement stress around the excavation surface.

This study was conducted to identify the effects of pressure taping between tibia and fibula of High Ankle Sprain athletes on pain, Range of Motion(ROM), and strength and to provide basic data for rehabilitation programs. The subjects of the study were conducted with a total of 10 athletes except for four who gave up who were diagnosed with high ankle sprain, or who were diagnosed with ankle sprain but their physical examinations proved positive. The results showed no significant differences in pain(Visual Analog Scale, VAS). The ROM was significantly increased in inversion(IV) and eversion(EV) in both groups. The Isometric strength was significantly improved in IV(0°, 7°, 14°) and EV(0°) in Taping Group(TG). When taping was applied to athletes with injury to the High Ankle Sprain, ROM and muscle strength improved at the same pain level.

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) was applied to an evaluation of the concrete condition of bridge decks with asphalt concrete. Deterioration was considered to have occurred when the relative permittivity of a concrete-faced asphalt concrete overlay showed more than 12. The relative permittivity of concrete varied considerably with the levels of porosity and water. In this study, GPR tests were carried out to determine the influence of weather and concrete condition on the relative permittivity for the research subject of an overlaid concrete bridge deck in public service. According to the test results, if bridge decks are in good condition, the relative permittivity of the top concrete of a bridge deck exhibited a normal distribution. After the deck concrete deteriorated, the relative permittivity varied with the amount of penetrated water according to the weather condition and deteriorated status of deck concrete.
