Presently means of utilizing sensors such as Piezoelectric(PZT) Element for evaluating the affect of oscillator, strain gauge for analyzing physical changes and use of Fiber Bragg Grating(FBG) Sensor are widely practiced in the field. In this study, PZT and FBG sensors were used to tearing damage of cable systems in these sensors. Cable systems are a construction of elements carrying only tension and no compression or bending in membrane structure. But damage detection of cable systems by using existing safety diagnosis is difficult to detect the characteristic change of overall structural action. If cable snaps are occurred to cable release and tear in tension structures, these are set up a vibration. So, we used piezo-electric materials and result of experiment using this was compared with result of experiment using FBG sensors The purpose of this research is to develop of damage detection method of cable system in tensile stress.

The waterproofing system's performance is known to show a determing by complex interaction of material factors, design details, and the quality of construction, and the waterproofing integrity of waterproofing membranes is determined by the bond to the deck and the amount of damage to the waterproofing membrane. In this research, the basic properties of waterproofing membranes on market and the tensile adhesive chracteristics of waterproofing systems of concrete bridge deck have also been investigated in the view of the damages frequently reported from job site. For the tensile adhesive strength of sheet waterproofing membranes, the results after asphalt concrete paving tends to increase more than before those. The results of the liquid waterproofing membranes are upside-down, and the more concrete has strength, the more strength of tensile adhesive increase. The ambient temperature of asphalt concrete when application of the waterproofing membrane has considerable influence on the performance of waterproofing system. As described above, waterproofing system can be influenced by several factors. If they are not considered under construction, the overlooking will cause the damages of pavement and waterproofing system after traffic opening.

The prestressing steel wire, which is applied a tension to reinforce the structure, is applied flexure simultaneously by the duct and the deviator. In order to evaluate the deflected tensile performance of the prestressing steel wire subjected to both tensile and flexural stresses, the numerical analysis for 600 cases with variables of wire diameters, mandrel diameters, and friction coefficient between mandrel and steel wire was performed. As the result of analysis, the larger the diameter of the steel wire was, the lower the deflected tensile performance was, and the effect decreased with the increase of the wire elongation. The effect of mandrel diameter and friction coefficient between mandrel and wire on the deflected tensile performance of the wire was very small. But the deflected tensile performance and the friction coefficient between mandrel and strand showed a relatively high correlation. Therefore, it is necessary to make enough large elongation to secure the deflected tensile performance. If there is a restriction on the elongation, it is necessary to reduce the diameter of the steel wire to an appropriate value, and to increase the friction between steel wires by adjusting the surface condition of the steel wire.

The application of the diagrid structural system has increased of late, but cyclic loadings such as winds and earthquakes cannot be fully understood through only an analytical study due to the difficulty of considering its welding property. In this study, diagrid nodes that had been scaled down to 1/5 of their full sizes were tested to find out their structural behavior under seismic or wind loads. Four specimens were used with five parameters, including the welding method and the design details. Cyclic loading tests were carried out, where a tensile load was applied to one brace member and a compression load to the other. The major failure modes in the tests were only failure of bending with tensile stress and tension failure. The welding method and the design details had no effect on the initial stiffness and yielding stress but play a significant role in the failure mode and energy dissipation, respectively.

플랫 플레이트 시스템은 기둥 주위의 국부적인 응력집중 현상으로 인한 뚫림전단 파괴에 대해 취약하다. 따라서 유한요소해석을 통해 이러한 플랫 플레이트 시스템의 뚫림전단 성능을 평가하고자 한다. 슬래브의 전단을 고려하기 위하여 Reissner-Mindlin 가정을 바탕으로 한 등매개변수 감절점 쉘 요소를 적용하였다. 콘크리트의 재료적 비선형 거동을 고려하기 위해 압축거동은 수정압축장 이론을 적용하였으며 인장강성효과 또한 콘크리트 재료모델에 반영하였다. 기존 실험결과와의 비교를 통해 타당성을 검증하고자 하였다. 비교 결과, 약 16%의 오차율을 보였으며 보강비가 낮은 실험체에 비해 보강비가 높은 실험체가 실험결과에 가까운 값을 예측하는 것으로 나타났다.

The movement of deterioration agents such as a chloride ion, etc. in concrete varies with loading conditions and micro-structure developed by age effect. In this paper, the carbonation behavior by accelerated carbonation test is evaluated considering curing periods(28 days, 91 days, and 365 days) and loading conditions. Carbonation velocity coefficients are obtained referred to KS F 2584. In the control case without loading condition, carbonation velocity coefficient of 91 days decreases to 50.0 % level and that of 365 days decreases to 44.8 % level than that of 28 days curing condition. In 28 curing days, carbonation velocity coefficients changed level of 103.9 ~ 108.8 % in tensile region and 91.9~104.6 % in compressive region by loading conditions. Carbonation velocity coefficients in the 30 % and 60 % tensile loading case at 28 days decreases to 47.3 % and 52.5 % level compared to control case after 1 year. Furthermore, 45.8 % and 44.9 % level of carbonation velocity coefficients are evaluated for 30 % and 60 % compressive loading conditions compared to control case after 1 year. Carbonation velocity coefficient decreases in the 30 % compressive loading level due to effective pore compaction and it increases afterwards due to micro-cracking. In the tensile loading condition, unlike the behavior of compressive region, it linearly increases with increasing loading level.

A turn-buckle inserted between tension members sustaining structural loads in the suspension structure system is a device capable of adjusting the tensile force. However, it is difficult to measure the tensile force that is applied to the tension member with the use of a conventional turn-buckle. So a measurable turn-buckle for tensile force measurement has been developed to improve on such a problem. This study focuses on the prevention of a local yielding as well as the maximization of yielding load mentioned in previous studies. A new type of turn-buckle for the measurement to practical use is suggested over the tentative purpose. For this purpose, the ABAQUS analysis of specimens based on theoretical analysis and tests are carried out. The differences among the results of the theoretical analysis, ABAQUS analysis, and the test were insignificant.

Beam String Structure is a structure system that is composed with beam, strut and string, and the structural capacity of this structure system is enhanced by introducing prestress force in string and controling the stress and deformation of beam. Researching on the established studies and examples, character and composition methods of Beam String Structure was investigated. At the result, It was examined that the design elements of the system are shape and rise of beam, sag of string, plan arrangement and the composition and number of strut, in addition, detailed composition methods of the design elements were represented. Also, it was showed that the method to form the individual mechanism against additional load can be employed in order to reduce stress of Beam String Structure under the heavy additional load.

Tension members is a type of effective structural member, which is often used in large span structures. The structure systems composed with tension members are combined in various way and specific formations. So, there are need to research into the formations of tension structure and the type of adaptation in tension structure architectures. The structure systems with tension members were considered as tension main system, vector system and tension supported bending system, comprehensively. And tension structures were classified into the formation of tension structure with uniaxial or multiaxial line tension member, with surface member, with hybrid member of line and surface, concerning the flow of tension force. In each the formation of tension structure, the typical adaptations to architecture were also investigated through architecture examples. The type of the formation can be used to plan an architecture with respect to the flow of tension force and structural feature.
