Social infrastructure facilities that have been under construction since the country's high-growth period are undergoing rapid aging, and, thus, safety assessments of large structures such as bridge tunnels, which can be directly linked to large-scale casualties in the event of an accident, are necessary. It is difficult to construct economical and efficient wireless smart sensor networks that improve structural health monitoring (SHM) because the existing wire sensors have a short signal reach. However, low-power wide-area networks (LPWANs) are becoming popular within the Internet of Things, and enable economical and efficient SHM. In this study, the technology trends of a wireless measuring sensor based on LoRa LPWANs were investigated, and an installation and maintenance plan for this type of sensor is proposed.

최근 대규모 항만 건설 및 기존 부두 리모델링과 같은 해안 공간 구조물 확충사업이 활발하게 진행되고 있으며 항만 구조물 거동 장기계측을 위한 센서에 대한 관심도 높아지고 있다. 기존의 항만에 적용한 전기식 센서들은 수개월 정도 단기간의 구조물 거동 측정은 가능하지만 수년 이상의 장기계측 시 염수분에 의한 부식 및 내구성에 취약하기 때문에 원활한 측정에 한계점이 있고 센서 설치를 위한 항만 외곽지역 구조물과 육상전원공급설비 배전반 사이의 거리로 인하여 긴 연장의 횡단로 가설전선 보호대 등을 설치해야 하는 어려움이 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 항만 구조물 거동 장기계측을 위해 기존 전기식 센서들의 부식문제점을 파악하여 해수용 4종 센서 IoT 모듈 패키징을 설계하고 외부 전원공급 방해 영향을 최소화한 태양광 발전을 적용한 항만 구조물 거동 계측 시스템을 제안하였다.

Extensive research effort has been made during the last decade to utilize wireless smart sensors for evaluating and monitoring structural integrity of civil engineering structures. The wireless smart sensor commonly has sensing and embedded computation capabilities as well as wireless communication that provide strong potential to overcome shortcomings of traditional wired sensor systems such as high equipment and installation cost. However, sensor malfunctioning particularly in case of long-term monitoring and unreliable wireless communication in harsh environment are the critical issues that should be properly tackled for a wider adoption of wireless smart sensors in practice. This study presents a wireless smart sensor network(WSSN) that can estimate unmeasured responses for the purpose of data recovery at unresponsive sensor nodes. A software program that runs on WSSN is developed to estimate the unmeasured responses from the measured using the Kalman filter. The performance of the developed network software is experimentally verified by estimating unmeasured acceleration responses using a simply-supported beam.

구조물 계측 및 유지관리에 포함되는 계측센서, 계측장비, 전산장비, 통신장비, 소프트웨어 등은 구조물 수명에 비해 비교적 짧은 내구수명을 가지기 때문에 공용 기간 중 지속적으로 교체/변경이 요구되고 있으며, 소프트웨어 또한 분석기술의 향상과 정보통신기술의 발전 등을 계속해서 반영해야 하므로 일정기간마다 모니터링시스템에 대한 업그레이드 작업이 요구되고 있다. 그러나, 기존에 개발된 시스템은 구조물 관리자에 의한 일부 하드웨어와 분석 알고리즘의 변경이나 업그레이드가 쉽지 않고 모니터링 시스템의 구축에 활용된 프로그램 내부구조 파악이 어려워 원 개발자의 지속적인 지원에 의존해야한다. 본 논문에서 제안된 모바일 클라우드 기반 구조물 유지관리계측 통합모니터링시스템에서는 구조계가 평상시나 특수한 상황에서 장 단기적으로 어떠한 거동을 보이고 있는지를 분석하고, 이를 토대로 향후의 거동이 어떻게 될지 예측하기 위해서 확률과 통계기법의 적용을 통해서 구할 수 있는 새로운 데이터 분석 기법을 적용하였으며, 모바일 클라우드 기반으로 데이터를 수집하고, 많은 데이터 양 및 데이터 신뢰도 수준에서 건전성평가를 할 수 있는 새로운 개념의 구조물 거동계측 통합모니터링시스템 설계로 기존의 단점을 해결할 수 있도록 개선하였다.

As structures' long term performances and users' safety have been highlighted, a new maintenance technique using IT has drawn attention around the globe. Therefore, throughout the paper, by analyzing bridge's static and dynamic data using wireless measuring sensor, a "real time smart bridge monitoring system" has developed. Smart bridge monitoring system is consists of three main parts a sensor that can measure major members' movement, a wireless system that informs the data from the sensor, and the database system that analysis the data. In order to test the performance of the system, five different were placed on the Olympic Bridge, Seoul. The power system of the sensors was replaced by self-sustain solar energy system. In order to validate data from the real time smart bridge monitoring system, the data was collected for a week from both wireless system and the wired system and the two data were compared to see the relevance.

An inverse calculation method to obtain sectional forces, axial force and flexural moment of a tunnel concrete lining was developed by utilizing convergence measurements acquired at the maintenance stage. To monitor the behavior of the lining, DOCS system was applied to a subway tunnel section. The method was proved to be effective, yielding the same results as measured forces of buried instruments. Many effects such as vibration of sensors, vibration due to test train operation, the variation of temperature and high voltage were checked and a new management scheme for tunnel maintenance was proposed.

제방붕괴에 따른 피해발생을 억제하기 위해서는 제방거동 특성을 사전에 충분한 정보를 통하여 파악할 필요가 있으며, 이를 위해 광섬유를 이용한 제방누수감지 센서를 개발하였다. 광섬유는 내구성 및 유지관리가 우수하고 장기간 사용에도 장점을 가지고 있다. 개발된 센서들은 현장에 적용하기 전에 충분한 실험을 통해 성능과 기능에 대한 검토가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 개발된 광섬유 센서를 대상으로 제방누수감지 목적으로 설치할 경우 센서의 이행도를 시험하였다. 시험방법은 토조를 설치하여 제체에 작용하는 간극수압, 온도 및 변위 등을 대상으로 하였다. 이를 위해 폭 5m, 길이 7m 및 높이 2m의 토조를 설치하여 가제방의 주요 부위에 기존 계측기기와 광섬유 센서를 같이 매설하고 수위와 시간변화에 따른 주요 특성치에 대하여 실험하였다. 실험결과 광섬유 센서가 연구목적에 부합하는 계측치를 보여주어 제방누수감지 센서로 활용 가능함을 확인하였다. 아울러 광섬유 센서의 기능에 대한 전반적인 실험을 통하여 현장적용에 대한 사용성을 입증하였다.
