댐 및 저수지 시설물은 노후화나 안전성 미확보로 인한 파손 또는 붕괴 발생 시 하류부에 막대한 인명과 재산피해 등 치명적인 결과를 초래하게 된다. 이러한 대형 안전사고를 예방하고자 시설물의 안전관리에 관한 특별법에서는 댐 시설물을 규모별로 1, 2종 시설물로 구분하고, 이에 대해 주기적으로 안전점검 및 정밀안전진단을 실시하도록 제도화하는 한편 진단 결과에 따라 보수 보강 등의 안전조치를 의무화하고 있다. 구조물 결함에 따른 보수 보강은 보수재료와 공법 선정시 공법의 적용성, 구조적 안전성, 경제성 등을 종합적으로 검토하여 결정하여야 한다. 손상 부위에 대한 보수 보강은 제한된 예산과 인력을 효율적으로 투자하기 위해 보수재료 및 공법의 선정 뿐만 아니라 보수 보강이 이루어져야 하는 부재에 대한 우선순위를 산정하는 것이 최우선적으로 선행되어야 한다. 안전점검 및 정밀안전진단 세부지침에서는 보수 보강 대책 마련 시안전점검 및 정밀안전진단 결과를 기초로 하여 적정 재료 및 공법을 선정하고, 보수 보강의 수준 및 우선순위를 결정하도록 명시되어 있다. 하지만 우선순위 결정에 대한 가이드라인이 부재하여 불필요한 시공과 비효율적인 예산 투입으로 인해 국가예산의 낭비되고 시설물의 안전까지 위협받게 되는 경우가 발생하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 시설물의 상태에 따른 적절한 보수 보강 필요성을 판단하고 보수 보강 수준 및 우선순위를 결정하기 위한 방법론을 개발하였다. 댐 시설물에 대한 안전점검 및 정밀안전진단의 종합평가는 평가대상 개별시설에 대하여 상태 평가 및 안전성 평가를 실시한 후 그 결과에 의해 산출된 상태평가지수와 안전성평가지수를 비교하여 평가단계별로 그 결과를 취합하여 종합평가를 실시하고 있다. 따라서 상태평가에 의해 산정된 종합평가 결과를 이용하여 개별 부재의 상태평가값 산정을 위해 하부 단계의 가중치 및 평가 지수 역산하고, 재산정된 가중치 및 평가지수를 이용하여 각 부재에 대한 보수 보강 우선순위를 산정하고자 하였다. 개발된 방법론은 점검 진단 책임기술자 및 시설물 관리주체 담당자가 댐 시설물의 개별부재에 대한 보수 보강 실시 여부를 판정할 수 있는 기준으로, 보수 보강에 대한 정책 결정시 경제성을 고려한 신뢰도 있는 기준으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

A stochastic process has been used to develop a condition-based model for preventive maintenance of armor units of rubble-mound breakwaters that can make a decision the optimal interval at which some repair actions should be performed under the perfect maintenance. The proposed cost model in this paper based on renewal reward process can take account of the interest rate, also consider the unplanned maintenance cost which has been treated like a constant in the previous studies to be a time-dependent random variable. A function for the unplanned maintenance cost has been mathematically proposed so that the cumulative damage, serviceability limit and importance of structure can be taken into account, by which a age-based maintenance can be extended to a condition-based maintenance straightforwardly. The coefficients involved in the function can also be properly estimated using a method expressed in this paper. Two stochastic processes, Wiener process and gamma process have been applied to armor stones of rubble-mound breakwaters. By evaluating the expected total cost rate as a function of time for various serviceability limits, interest rates and importances of structure, the optimal period of preventive maintenance can easily determined through the minimization of the expected total cost rate. For a fixed serviceability limit, it shows that the optimal period has been delayed while the interest rate increases, so that the expected total cost rate has become lower. In addition, the gamma process tends to estimate the optimal period more conservatively than the Wiener process. Finally, it is found that the more crucial the level of importance of structure becomes, the more often preventive maintenances should be carried out.

최근 강구조물의 건설이 지속적으로 증가되어 왔다. 또한 강구조물의 유지관리 및 안전성에 대한 관심이 급증하고 있다. 시설물의 안전성 확보는 대형사고의 사전 예방, 공용 중 갑작스런 가동 중지에 의하여 발생되는 비용증가를 사전에 차단 할 수 있다는 점에서 그 중요성은 매우 크다고 할 수 있다. 또한 각종 구조물은 열악한 사용조건, 고온, 고압, 고속, 대형화됨에 따라 일단 사고가 발생 했을 경우 대형사고의 위험이 예상되므로, 제작시 검사의 강화뿐만이 아니라 공용 중 구조물의 안전성을 진단 할 수 있는 모니터링 체계의 확립이 필요한 시점이다. 현재 국내에서 강구조물들의 균열 모니터링 시스템에 관한 연구는 매우 미흡한 실정이며, 현재 사용되고 있는 비파괴검사 방법은 UT와 RT등이다. 이러한 방법들은 많은 시간과 경비가 소요되며 또한 거대구조물 혹은 사람의 접근이 어려운 곳에는 적용하기가 힘들다. 또한 주기적인 검사 작업으로 인한 막대한 시간과 비용의 손실이 발생되고 있으며 초기 결함을 조기에 인지하지 못함으로써 적절한 보수 보강 대책이 이루어지지 않아 보수 보강 비용의 증대를 초래한다. 더욱이, 결함이 진전된 이후에도 이것을 인지하지 못하여 적절한 대응을 하지 않는다면 대형사고로 이어질 수도 있다. 따라서 강구조물에 대한 효율적인 유지관리가 가능하고, 초기결함으로부터 균열이 진전하여 붕괴되는 사고를 미연에 방지하며 초기에 보수보강 작업을 수행함으로써 보수보강 비용도 절감 할 수 있는 모니터링 시스템의 개발이 요구되고 있다. 이러한 모니터링 시스템의 개발은 기술적 측면에서 강구조물의 효율적인 유지 관리 노하우를 얻을 수 있으며 경제 산업적 측면에서는 보수 보강 비용 및 불필요한 주기적 점검 비용을 절감 할 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 전위차법을 이용하여 강구조물의 필렛 용접부에서의 균열진전양상을 파악하고 정량화를 통해 필렛용접부의 잔여수명을 예측하였다.

A discounted cost model for preventive maintenance of armor units of rubble-mound breakwaters is mathematically derived by combining the deterioration model based on a discrete-time stochastic process of shock occurrence with the cost model of renewal process together. The discounted cost model of condition-based maintenance proposed in this paper can take into account the nonlinearity of cumulative damage process as well as the discounting effect of cost. By comparing the present results with the previous other results, the verification is carried out satisfactorily. In addition, it is known from the sensitivity analysis on variables related to the model that the more often preventive maintenance should be implemented, the more crucial the level of importance of system is. However, the tendency is shown in reverse as the interest rate is increased. Meanwhile, the present model has been applied to the armor units of rubble-mound breakwaters. The parameters of damage intensity function have been estimated through the time-dependent prediction of the expected cumulative damage level obtained from the sample path method. In particular, it is confirmed that the shock occurrences can be considered to be a discrete-time stochastic process by investigating the effects of uncertainty of the shock occurrences on the expected cumulative damage level with homogeneous Poisson process and doubly stochastic Poisson process that are the continuous-time stochastic processes. It can be also seen that the stochastic process of cumulative damage would depend directly on the design conditions, thus the preventive maintenance would be varied due to those. Finally, the optimal periods and scale for the preventive maintenance of armor units of rubble-mound breakwaters can be quantitatively determined with the failure limits, the levels of importance of structure, and the interest rates.

Maintenance of structural and hydrological safety of the superannuated fill dam is very important subject on the viewpoint of disaster prevention. Mainly, the core of the superannuated fill dams have been damaged continuously by the various harmful external forces such as the typhoons, flash floods and earthquake, and these can be connected to the large scaled general dam failure. Therefore, the research on the repair, remediation and reinforcement of dam is necessary. In this study, the permeable grouting method for the remediation of fill dam was examined by the electrical resistivity survey and the change of permeability of core front. As a result, the permeable grouting method can be useful remediation method for the superannuated fill dam, the leakage from the core front decreased greatly before and after the construction of grouting. Furthermore, it can be said that the turbidity of fill dam may not be greatly increased by grouting.

A stochastic expected cost model has been suggested by combining the nonlinear cumulative damage model with the expected cost model together which can be useful for doing the preventive optimal-maintenance of the armor units of rubble-mound breakwaters. The suggested model has been satisfactorily calibrated by comparison of the results from others models, also the sensitivity analysis has been carried out in detail under the variation of the associated parameters with the model. The optimal repair times can be directly evaluated by minimizing the expected cost rates that depend on the social importances, damage intensity functions and resistance limits. Finally, the present cost model has been straightforwardly applied to the armor units of rubble-mound breakwaters. Based on the assumption of turning the damaged structure back to the state as good as new after repairs, the required optimal repair times and magnitudes can be determined quantitatively in terms of the optimum balance between the costs and benefits on the preventive maintenance.

A stochastic probability model based on the non-homogeneous Poisson process is represented that can correctly analyze the time-dependent linear and nonlinear behaviors of total damage over the occurrence process of loads. Introducing several types of damage intensity functions, the probability of failure and the total damage with respect to mean time to failure has been investigated in detail. Taking particularly the limit state to be the random variables followed with a distribution function, the uncertainty of that would be taken into consideration in this paper. In addition, the stochastic probability model has been straightforwardly applied to the rubble-mound breakwaters with the definition of damage level about the erosion of armor units. The probability of failure and the nonlinear total damage with respect to mean time to failure has been analyzed with the damage intensity functions for armor units estimated by fitting the expected total damage to the experimental datum. Based on the present results from the stochastic probability model, the preventive management for the armor units of the rubble-mound breakwaters would be suggested to make a decision on the repairing time and the minimum amounts repaired quantitatively.

In order to build an effective management system for structures and to propose national policy and vision for advance of safety and maintenance management, 'Fundamental Scheme of Safety and Maintenance Management for Structures' has been established and promoted. As developed countries adopt preventive maintenance management, which is preventive as well as aggressive repair/strengthening for structures, it is needed to introduce life-cycle analysis method for improvement of economical efficiency. Therefore, this paper presents not only analysis of domestic conditions and problems related to system for safety and maintenance management, policies and costs for structures but an improvement plan.

In particular, the investigation of tendons in PSC Box Girder Bridge should be done in a systematic way. It is important to identify preventative maintenance activities that should be carried out in order to analyze the risk factors by type of representative tensions and to reduce risks in the long term. However, in the current maintenance system, various methodologies for investigating and repairing tensions have been studied, but it is difficult to investigate precisely tensions. Therefore, to apply the risk assessment for screening of tensions to the domestic PSC Box Bridge, we presented a risk matrix evaluation index that is consistent with the state assessment and maintenance system.

The paper aims at evaluating effects of preventive maintenance on life cycle cost(LCC) reduction of bridges. The preventive maintenance activities capable to delay bridge deteriorations can reduce overall maintenance costs and extend service life of a bridge by regularly providing maintenance activities and avoiding larger maintenance(repairs or rehabilitations) costs. Couple of prediction models were proposed in order to calculate LCC of a typical bridge: a health score model and repair rehabilitation cost model. In addition, the maintenance activities such as wash and painting were also suggested in order to consider effects of preventive maintenance in the analysis based on literature reviews. According to analysis results, new maintenance strategy(reactive maintenance + preventive maintenance) can save \0.5 billion per bridge for future life-cycle costs over 100 year analysis or \184 billion for entire HBMS(Highway Bridge Management System) inventory over 20 years. Small investments for preventive maintenance in improved bridge management can have a very significant return when considering the large bridge inventory.
