In order to develop an effective way of measuring the mode I stress intensity factor, $K_I$, by the technique based on the alternating current potential drop (ACPD), the effect of the magnetic flux in the air on the change in potential drop due to load for both ferromagnetic and paramagnetic materials containing a two-dimensional surface crack was investigated. Additionally the effects of the demagnetization and the crack length on the change in potential drop were examined. In the case that the measuring system was designed to induce a large amount of electromotive force, the amount of the change in potential drop due to load was shown to increase largely Also the relationship between the change in potential drop and that in $K_I$ was indicated to be linear without any treatment and it was shown that the demagnetization had almost no effect on the change in potential drop. The change in potential drop did not depend on the crack length but on the measuring system. For the application of the ACPD technique to determine $K_I$.

본 고에서는 설계자가 초기 설계시 적용할 수 있는 간이피로해석방법에 대하여 기술하였으며, 특히 선체의 각 구조상세에 대하여 산정된 응력집중계수를 이용하여 피로수명을 쉽게 평가할 수 있는 집중응력방법을 정립하였다. 이 집중응력방법을 사용하면 모든 구조상세에 대하여 한개의 S-N 선도를 적용하게 되므로 일관성 있는 피로상도해석을 수행할 수 있다. 또한 피로수명에 큰 영향을 미치는 파랑하중은 설계조건에 주어진 선급규칙에 따라 계산되어진다. 선체구조의 피로강도평가 기술은 계측, 실험, 해석 및 경험을 포함하는 광범위하고 포괄적이면서 정밀함을 요구하는 종합기술이지만 여기에는 많은 불확실성이 내포되어 있다. 따라서 이를 구명하고 모든 선체구조에 적용할 수 있는 신뢰성 있는 피로강도 평가기술을 개발하기 위하여는 실선계측을 통한 피로하중규명 선체구조에 적용할 수 있는 피로강도 Data base개발, 균열진전해석 등 많은 과제에 대한 집중적인 연구가 계속 수행되어야 한다.

In order to determine the optimal number of monitoring points in single-track tunnel lining, this thesis compares and evaluates the results of two cases: when the tunnel lining is modeled into a simple beam form and then is applied to 1) the tunnel lining inverse analysis program, and to 2) the commercially-used program. The displacement and stress of specific tunnel lining cross-sections are determined by entering the load conditions into the commercially-used program for tunnel interpretations. In doing so, two cases were assumed: where a symmetrically-distributed load was acting upon the tunnel lining of a single-track tunnel and where an asymmetrically-distributed load was in action. By comparing the computed displacement with the stress and displacement determined by entering side numbers 3, 5, and 7 into the tunnel lining inverse analysis program, the optimal number of monitoring points is determined. From the results of the research, it can be inferred that the number of monitoring points needs to be at least 5 points, considering the efficiency of monitoring in practice and the loss-and-damage rate of tunnel monitoring.

The carrying capacity of existing concrete structures is evaluated by the measured data from displacement and strain gauges for given loads and the results of numerical analysis that are compared with the measured ones. Consequently, this process could be accomplished in doing the direct measurement of residual stress on existing concrete. This study is concerned with the development of IITC (Instrumented Indentation Technique for Concrete) system which is based on the experimental stress analysis technique using non-destructive test method to evaluate the residual stress of concrete structures depending on the types of applied loadings in analysing indentation load - indentation depth curve derived experimentally on concrete surface. As a result, in this paper, almost all of systematized H/W and S/W were newly developed to estimate the residual stresses of concrete structures. Thus, the creation of new experimental equations for deriving residual stresses and automatical calculations of residual stresses using the empirical formula can lead to evaluate the structural resistances conveniently in the structures from construction phase to maintenance stage.

Recently, the serviceability and durability of concrete structures under thermal load have received great attention. The thermal stress and clacking behavior of concrete at early ages are one of the important factors that affect such serviceability and durability of concrete structures. Nevertheless, most studies on the behavior of early-age concrete have been confined to the temperature and strain development itself in the laboratory. The desirable efforts to explore the material properties of concrete at early-ages have not been made extensively so far. The purpose of the present study is, therefore, to identify some important material properties that affect the stress behavior of concrete at early-ages. To this end, full-scale concrete base-restrained wall members have been fabricated, and many sensors including thermocouples, strain meters and stress meters were installed inside of the wall members. These sensors were to measure the development of temperatures, strains and stresses at several location in concrete walls during the hardening and curing phase of early-age concrete. By using these measured values of strain and stress, the compliance function at early-age was identified. The basic form of compliance function derived in this study follows the double-power law. However, the results of present study indicate that the values of existing compliance functions are much lower than actual values, especially at very early-ages. It can be seen that the prediction of stresses of early-age concrete based on the proposed compliance function agrees very well with test data. The present study allows more realistic evaluation of varying stresses in early-age concrete under thermal load.

The distribution of shaft resistance is measured by the static load test with the strain gauge or stress gauge, so that the long-term load distribution must be considered for the pile design. However, the measurement by strain gauge generally assumes the 'zero reading', which is the reading taken at 'zero time' with 'zero' load and the residual stress, which is the negative skin friction(or the negative shaft resistance) caused by the pile construction, is neglected. Therefore, the measured value by strain gauge is different from the true load-distribution because residual stresses were neglected. In this study, the three drilled shafts were constructed, and the strain measurements were carried out just after shaft construction. As a result of this study, it is shown that the true load-distribution of drilled shaft is quite different with known load distribution and the true load-distribution of drilled shaft changed from the negative skin friction to the positive skin according to the load increment.

In order to intuitively grasp the earth pressure direction acting on the structure and displacement state, displacement data in the horizontal and vertical directions were processed using the sigmoid function. A displacement coordinate system was set up for each axis. The system can intuitively check the current displacement and assess the management stage of each point. A displacement path can be compiled from continuously recorded points, allowing trends in the displacement's history and stress direction to be known. Analysis of data measured for excavated ground, found that displacement occurred in the direction of destressing at all points, and that the points' management state steady. Similar behavior trends were found among measurement points with high spatial correlation, whereas differing behavior trends occurred among measurement points with low spatial correlation. If the correlation analysis of the precursor and behavior area is performed using the continuously distributed surface settlement data and displacement coordinate system, it will be possible to predict the failure time and area.

In this study finite element analysis using hyperbolic model was performed to predict the characteristics of stress-strain behaviour on concrete face earth dam (CFED : a tentative name) raised with coarse-grained materials corresponding to the face slab bedding zone of concrete face rockfill dam (CFRD). The results of finite element analysis were compared with field monitoring data, and the comparison showed a good agreement. And, the analysis results including locus of maximum displacement, maximum stress, stress concentration, and irregular load transfer would be used to devise rational field monitoring schemes for construction management and quality control during construction of CFED.

Efficiency for estimation of subsea tunnel safety can be increased through reflecting back analysis algorithm to displacement measurements besides other measurement information such as stress, water pressure and ground stiffness degradation. In this study, the finite difference code FLAC3D built-in FISH language is used. In addition, the stability of the tunnel lining will be evaluated from the development of displacement-based algorithm and its expanded algorithm with conformity of several parameters such as stress measurements, water pressure measurements, tunnel lining degradation measurements and ground stiffness degradation measurements. By using additional measurement information to assess the stability of subsea tunnel, it was confirmed that the error rate is reduced to the tunnel back analysis.
