Civil infrastructure is the basis facility which builds up the base of national economy operation. Consequently unexpected sudden abnormal condition of civil infrastructure causes private and national property loss and moreover can spread social issue. Therefore, continuous maintenance and safety management for the civil infrastructures should be handled with great weight. Monitoring system for managing bridge maintenance was introduced first in the early of 1990s and has been developed up to real time measurement and analysis. Thesedays another system using fiber optic sensors is being developed. This paper presents the cost analysis of bridge monitoring system with fiber optic sensors which is gathering attention. Various cases were considered and the results were compared with that of monitoring system with electronic resistant type sensors widely used. As a results, fiber optic sensor system has good advantages in various cases, and a1so cost effectiveness compared to conventional sensor system.

Recently, ubiquitous sensor network (USN) has been applied to many areas including environment monitoring. A few studies applied the USN to disaster prevention and emergency management, in particular, aiming to conserve cultural heritage. USN is an useful technology to do online real-time monitoring for the purpose of early detection of the fire which is a critical cause of damage and destruction of cultural heritages. It is necessary to online monitor the cultural heritages that human has a difficulty to access or their external appearance and beauty are important, by using the USN. However, there exists false warning from USN-based monitoring systems without human intervention. In this paper, we presented an alternative to resolve the problem by applying ontology. Our intelligent fire early detection systems for conserving cultural heritages are based on ontology and inference rules, and tested under laboratory environments.

최근에는 전 지구적으로 이상기후 현상이 빈번히 발생하고 있으며 이로 인해 과거와는 달리 예측하기 어려운 집중호우와 돌발강우에 따른 피해가 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 이러한 이상 강우현상에 의해 하천 및 주변의 내 외수의 수위 상승을 야기하며, 이로인해 제내지의 침수 위험성이 그 어느 때보다 높은 실정이다. 특히, 내수침수의 경우는 외수에 따른 범람보다는 내수배제 불량에 따른 침수 빈도와 범위가 증가되고 있는 상황이며, 이에 대한 대비가 절실히 요구되고 있다. 주기적으로 반복되는 내수침수에 의한 국민의 재산과 인명피해를 최소화하기 위해서는 침수피해 위험도가 높은 지역을 파악 관리하여야 하며, 지역의 주민에게도 지역의 특성을 주지시켜야 한다. 이와 함께 침수 발생시 피해 최소화를 위한 피난 경로와 피난 장소 등을 상세히 제공하여 신속한 재난 대처와 함께 인명과 재산의 피해를 최소화하여야 한다. 침수예상지도는 태풍이나 집중호우에 의한 침수 발생시 제방의 월류 및 붕괴, 내수배제 불량 등으로 인한 예상 침수지역을 강우빈도별로 나타내고, 침수면적과 깊이를 표현한 지도로서 방재형 국토관리의 정책결정과 침수 피해에 대한 대민 홍보의 수단으로 활용되고 있다. 국내에서도 홍수에 의한 피해가 나날이 커지고 국토의 개발에 따른 자연 재해가 많아짐에 따라 홍수에 의한 피해를 최소화하기 위한 노력의 일환으로 침수예상지도의 제작 및 관리 시스템의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 지석천 유역의 태풍 및 집중호우에 의한 과거 침수실적을 조사하여 침수실적도를 작성하 였으며, 내 배수 불량에 따른 홍수빈도, 강우빈도별 침수예상도를 작성하였다. 이를 위해 현재 보편적으로 이용되고 있는 1차원 수리 수문 모델인 미 공병단의 HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS 모델과 내 배수 영향 검토를 위해 한국농어촌공사에서 개발된 GATE 프로그램을 이용하였다. 이렇게 계산된 연구 대상지역의 침수심과 침수면적을 GIS를 이용하여 침수예상도를 작성하였다.

Context-aware is the core in ubiquitous environment of sensor network to support intelligent and contextual adaptation service. The new context information model is demanded to support context-aware applications. The model should not depend on a specified application and be shareable between applications in the same environment. Also, it should support various context representation and complex context-aware. In this paper, we define the context information according to context-aware process. Also we design the knowledge of domain as well as applications using ontologies and rules. The domain spatial ontology and application knowledge are represented using the spatial object model and the rules of expanded ontologies, respectively. The expression of abundant spatial ontology represents the context information about distance between objects and adjacent object as well as the location of the object. The proposed context information model which is able to exhibit various spatial context and recognizes complex spatial context through the existing GIS. This model shows that it can adapt to a large scale outdoor context-aware applications such as air pollution and prevention of disasters as well as various context-aware applications.

After applying the fiber cocktail(polypropylene and steel fibers) into the mixture of high strength concrete with a compressive strength of 50 MP, the fire test was carried out on specimens in order to evaluate the fire resistance performance, such as possible explosive spalling, temperature distributions of concrete and rebar. According to an enforcement ordinance, four column specimens were exposed to the fire for 180 minutes based on the standard curve of ISO-834. No explosive spalling has been observed. The required minimum quantity of polypropylene to prevent explosive spalling is more than 0.57 kg per unit concrete volume. The comparing test results from temperature distributions of concrete and rebar has found that the difference of fiber quantity is insignificant.

A virtual flood scenario has been constructed to investigate the overflowing process in the flooding area. The topography is constructed using the airborne LIDAR data. In addition, the frequency and scale of the flooding and the destruction condition of the flooding defensive structure are used as input to the scenarios. Through the scenario, the inundation depth with respect to time and maximum depth has been analyzed. This analysis shows the water level variation with time which show the flooding process. Moreover, a flooding map is drawn using the results from the scenario, distribution of the defensive structure, vulnerable area, and expected destruction points in the study area. It is expected that this study can be effectively used to examine the flooding process and flood disaster management. Furthermore, it could provide important basic information for the land development and the city planning of a possible flooding area.

The long-term behaviors of prestressed concrete cable-stayed bridges are considerably influenced by the time dependant material characteristics such as creep and shrinkage. This study investigated the influences of the change of relative humidity by application of the CEB-FIP model and ACI model, which are generally used in the prediction of long-term behavior of concrete structures. In case of the moment of girder, CEB-FIP model predicted a bigger effect of relative humidity change than the ACI model. Furthermore, the effect was significant. Also, the long-term behaviors between these models were different each other even under the same material condition. Therefore, the prediction of the long-term behavior should be compensated after comparative analysis with the results of material tests of each construction site and between the different models.

The object of this study is to develop a tool for quantifying risks related to the rail transportation of hazardous commodities and to present mitigation measures. In this study, the Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) is used as a risk analysis tool. Based on the previous explosion history (Iri explosion) and consideration of its high risk, Iksan-si is selected as a model city. The result, expressed as average individual risk for exposed people with various distance, indicates that the model city is considered to be safe according to the nuclear energy standard. Also, the mitigation measures are provided since Societal risk of Iksan-si is set within ALARP. Risk reduction measures include rail car design, rail transportation operation, demage spread control as well as derail prevention and alternative routes for reducing accident frequencies. Finally, it is expected to achieve high level of public safety by appling the risk reduction measures.

In this paper, we introduce a multi purpose environmental monitoring system developed as a commercially available standard using the technique of hetero-core spliced fiber optic sensor. The monitoring system has been tested and evaluated in a possible outdoor condition in view of the full scaled operation at actual sites to be monitored. Additionally, the developed system in this work conveniently provides us with various options of sensor modules intended for monitoring such physical quantities as displacement, distortion, pressure, binary states, and liquid adhesion. Two channels of optical fiber line were monitored, in each of which three displacement sensor modules were connected in series, in order to examine the performance to a pseudo-cracking experiment in the outdoor situation, and to clarify temperature influences to the system in terms of the coupling of optical connectors and the OTDR stability. The pseudo-cracking experiment successfully observed the actually given cracks by means of calculation based on the detected displacement values and their geometrical arrangement of the used sensor modules. And the robustness to the temperature is verified in the various temperature change.
