FBG temperature sensor and strain sensor has been used to monitoring shrinkage and temperature of concrete retaining wall in construction site in its casting early age. The test results indicate that this monitoring method is a practical method for monitoring concrete at very early age. The monitoring technique used in this research could be extended to monitor shrinkage and temperature for mass concrete structure.

Due to the fact that bare FBG sensors are very fragile, bare FBG sensor is not properly applied in practical infrastructures as it is not suitable to the rudeness of construction. Therefore packaged FBG sensors are developed for construction application. Since FBG senses strain and temperature simultaneously, temperature compensation for FBG strain sensors is indispensable. In this paper, temperature compensation techniques for steel sleeve packaged FBG sensors are brought forward. And its application on monitoring concrete beam was carried to test the feasibility of the temperature compensation technique. Temperature compensation technique used in this paper is feasible to be extended to structure health monitoring in civil engineering especially in large infrastructures etc.

In this study, the effect of temperature-induced uncertainty to damage monitoring using acceleration-impedance response features is analyzed for presterssed concrete(PSC) girder bridges. Firstly, a damage monitoring algorithm using global and local vibration features is designed. As global and local features, acceleration and electro-mechanical impedance features are selected respectively. Secondly, the temperature effect on the acceleration and impedance features for a lab-scaled PSC girder is experimentally analyzed. From the experimental results, compensation models for temperature-acceleration features and temperature-impedance features are estimated. Finally, the feasibility of the acceleration-impedance-based damage monitoring technique using the compensation model is evaluated in the PSC girder for which a set of prestress-loss and flexural stiffness loss cases were dynamically tested.

Heat of hydration of mass concrete is one of the most important factors that significantly affect structural quality and construction period. Therefore, appropriate methods to control heat of hydration are essential technologies for mass concrete construction. In this study, probability of thermal cracking was checked by thermal analysis prior to the construction of a turbine foundation in a domestic power plant. Subsequently, changes of concrete mix proportion and an effective curing method were proposed to control heat of hydration of mass concrete structures. Concrete manufactured by slag cement was proposed instead of concrete produced by ordinary Portland cement, and an automated curing method was proposed to improve the curing method using typical moist curing with blanket. The automated curing method maintains the temperature difference between center and surface of concrete below a setting value by temperature monitoring. Concrete with slag cement was used for actual construction. One of two identical turbine foundations was cured by an insulated curing method, and the other was cured by the automated curing method to compare the curing methods. And then, the effects of control of heat of hydration were evaluated based on temperature/strain monitoring and crack investigations.

This paper presents results of one-year monitoring on prestressing force of a 7-wire steel post-tensioning strand which is installed in a UHPC(ultra high performance concrete) bridge with 11.0 m long, 5.0 m wide, and 0.6 m high by using a FBG-encapsulated 7-wire steel strand. The initial prestressing forces and the prestress changes during a vehicle load test were measured using the FBG-encapsulated strand. The results show that the FBG-encapsulated 7-wire strand is very effective for monitoring the prestress forces even the change in the tension force is very small. Additionally, it was indicated that selection of the thermal expansion coefficient which is used for the temperature correction shall be carefully carried out.

Recently, the use of high strength concrete (HSC) has increased dramatically md however, few studies have been conducted on the early-age properties of HSC such as setting. The penetration resistance test (specified by KS F 2436) that is the standard test method for determining initial and final setting times of concrete, may not be appropriate for HSC because of the high viscosity of the mortar mixture. To address this issue, an ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) monitoring system was used to investigate the setting behavior of mortar and concrete. The experimental study was carried out to measure the UPV's of mortars and concretes having various water/binder ratios (W/B) and various fly ash replacement levels, during the first 24 hours of testing. Test results showed that the UPV in concrete was developed faster than that of mortar with the same W/B, and that of ordinary concrete was greater than that of fly ash concrete. Typical values of UPV were suggested that correspond to the initial and final setting times, based on following criteria: (1) the penetration resistance method; (2) the instant when the UPV begins to develop; and (3) the instant when the UPV development rate is maximum. The method and UPV monitoring device used in this study is promising for the setting assessment of concrete, particularly for HSC.

Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Composites (FRCCs) have electrical conductivity by inserting reinforced conductive fibers into a cementitious matrix. Such characteristic allows us to utilize FRCCs for crack monitoring of a structure by measuring electrical responses without sensor installation. However, the electrical responses are often sensitively altered by temperature variation as well as crack initiation. The temperature variation may disturb crack detection on the measured electrical responses. Moreover, as sensing probes for measuring electrical reponses increase, undesired contact noises are often augmented. In this paper, a self-sensing impedance circuit is specially designed for reducing the number of sensing probes. The crack initiation and temperature variation effects on the self-sensing impedance responses of FRCCs are experimentally investigated using the self-sensing impedance circuit. The experiment results reveal that the electrical impedance response are more sensitively changed due to temperature variation than crack initiation.

Accurate estimation of concrete strength development at early ages is a critical factor to secure structural stability as well as to speed up the construction process. The temperature generated from the heat of hydration is considered as a key parameter in predicting the early age strength. Conventionally, concrete temperature has been measured by temperature sensors installed inside concrete. However, considering the measurement on building structures with multiple floors, this method requires reinstallation and repositioning of hardware such as sensors, data loggers and routers for data transfer. This makes the temperature monitoring work cumbersome and inefficient. Concrete temperature monitoring by using thermal remote sensing can be an effective alternative to supplement those shortcomings. In this study, image processing was carried out through K-means clustering technique, which is a unsupervised learning method, and the classification results were analyzed accordingly. In the future, research will be conducted on how to automatically recognize concrete among various objects by using deep learning techniques.

2015년 파리에서 체결된 파리협정은 1850년 대비 2100년까지의 지구 평균기온 상승을 1.5℃ 이내로 제한하기 위해 5년마다 참여국에 상향된 온실가스 배출 감축 목표를 제출하게 하고, 탄소 배출 및 온도상승 저감 목표 달성을 위해 도시 내 그린인프라를 적극적으로 도입하는 등 국제사회 공동의 종합적인 이행을 예정하고 있다. 그린인프라의 유형 중 하나인 옥상녹화(Green Roof)는 기후변화 적응을 위한 도시 인프라 구축 방법의 하나로 국내에서도 많은 각광을 받고 있다. 옥상녹화(Green Roof)는 도시의 불투수층인 지붕 면적을 모두 혹은 일부 식생으로 덮어 표면층에 추가의 투수층을 조성하는 것을 지칭한다. 옥상녹화의 경우 별도의 토지면적 확보가 필요하지 않고 기존의 시설물에 추가적인 설치가 가능해 여분의 토지가 부족한 도심지의 녹지 확보를 위한 친환경적인 그린인프라로 각광받고 있다. 현재까지 옥상녹화(Green Roof) 관련 국내 연구 현황은 '옥상 녹화의 공법'을 다룬 비율이 높고 실증적인 결과를 가진 선행연구가 거의 없다. 따라서 본 연구는 동일한 조건하에 4개의 실험동을 설치하고 동질성 검사를 한 후 옥상에 설치된 재료[일반 콘크리트(Bare Concrete), 고반사 도장(High Reflective Paint), 사사(Short Bamboo), 잔디(Grass)]에 따른 건물 내 온도 변화 저감효과에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 2020년 8월 17일부터 22일까지 측정된 지붕 표면 평균 최고온도 모니터링 결과를 일반 콘크리트 지붕과 비교했을 때. 고반사 도장 지붕의 경우 8.26℃, 옥상녹화(사사, short bamboo) 지붕의 경우 7.21℃, 옥상녹화(잔디, grass)의 경우 10.8℃ 낮은 것으로 측정되었다. 또한 실내 천정 표면 평균 온도의 경우 콘크리트 지붕과 비교하여 고반사 도장 지붕은 6.46℃, 옥상녹화(사사, short bamboo) 지붕은 13.52℃, 옥상녹화(잔디, grass)는 13.3℃ 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과는 옥상녹화의 온도저감 효과를 정량적으로 제시하고 있어, 향후 기후변화 대응 및 적응 전략적 수립에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
