This paper presents the assessment of 7-wire strand monitoring using acoustic emission technique for bridges. 7-wire strand is widely used construction materials to provide additional tensile force to bridges. PSC (PreStressed Concrete) bridge and cable-stayed bridge are representatives for such cases. However, as the bridge aging progresses recently, corrosion problems of strand are emerging. For this reason, various NDT (Non-Destructive Test) methods for cable inspection are being studied and applied to the field. One of the NDT methods, acoustic emission technique, is known as an effective technique to detect cable damage and breakage. In this study, to evaluate the applicability of acoustic emission technique to bridges, acoustic emission signals according to damage of the strand were acquired and analyzed by tensile test. Moreover, The optimal AE sensor type was selected for field application. As a result, it is considered that the acoustic emission technique will be able to detect corrosion breakage and signs of rupture.

The reasonable assessment of the shear stiffness of a dredged soft ground and soft clay is difficult due to the soil disturbance. This study addresses the development and application of a new in-situ shear wave measuring apparatus (field velocity probe: FVP), which overcomes several of the limitations of conventional methods. Design concerns of this new apparatus include the disturbance of soils, cross-talking between transducers, electromagnetic coupling between cables, self acoustic insulation, the constant travel distance of S-wave, the rotation of the transducer, directly transmitted wave through a frame from transducer to transducer, and protection of the transducer and the cable. These concerns are effectively eliminated by continuous improvements through performing field and laboratory tests. The shear wave velocity of the FVP is simply calculated, without any inversion process, by using the travel distance and the first arrival time. The developed FVP Is tested in soil up to 30m in depth. The experimental results show that the FVP can produce every detailed shear wave velocity profiles in sand and clay layers. In addition, the shear wave velocity at the tested site correlates well with the cone tip resistance. This study suggests that the FVP may be an effective technique for measuring the shear wave velocity in the field to assess dynamic soil properties in soft ground.

하천은 자연의 현상 또는 인위적인 작용에 대해 끊임없는 반응과 응답의 과정을 통하여 복잡한 형태의 안정화를 이루고 있다. 하지만 인간은 경제적인 논리와 편의성 측면등의 이유로 하천에 대해 인위적인 간섭이 지속적으로 이루어져 왔다. 이는 하천이 본래 가지고 있던 자연적인 하도 특성의 급격한 변화를 초래하였다. 이러한 영향으로 인한 많은 변화들 중, 하도 내 수역이 식생으로 천이가 진행되면서 최종적으로 육지화되는 육역화 현상은 수리학적 문제 및 환경생태적 측면에서 큰 문제를 발생시킬 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 하도육역화를 제어하기 위해 하도 내 친환경적인 육역화 관리기법을 개발하고 이에 대한 적용성을 수리모형실험을 통해 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서 제시한 친환경적인 육역화 관리기법은 자연적인 배수효과를 이용 하였다. 이러한 친환경적인 육역화관리기법은 인공하도가 가지고 있는 하도와 고수부지의 수문학적 및 생태학적인 단절을 해소하였으며, 이를 물골 공법이라 명명하였다. 본 수리모형실험은 물골의 형상을 제시하기 위하여 하폭에 따라 물골크기를 무차원화 하였다. 또한 유사 제어 검증을 수행하기 위한 실험은 물골의 폭, 높이, 주기 및 가속수로 폭을 실험변수로 고려하였다. 물골 모형의 기본적인 흐름특성 분석을 위해 유속 및 수위를 측정한 결과 유속 및 수심은 하류를 따라 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 유사 제어 효과 검증을 위해 소류력 및 마찰속도를 산정하여 도시하였으며, 이는 세굴 및 퇴적의 현상이 물골 주기에 따라 반복적으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 수위하강시 물골의 형상에 따라 흐름이 원활하게 배제되어 고수부지에 유사퇴적 방지 효과가 있을 것으로 판단되며, 물골공법이 친환적인 육역화 관리기법으로 활용가능성이 있는 것으로 기대된다. 향후 보다 상세한 수리모형실험이 수행된다면, 물골 공법 설계 및 현장적용을 위한 기초자료를 확보 할 수 있을 것이다.

Shear wave velocity, one of major elastic constants in the dynamic design for civil structures, is conventionally measured from downhole, crosshole or sonic logging tests. SASW (Spectral Analysis of Surface Waves) method, which overcomes the disadvantage of the in-hole tests, can evaluate subsurface stiffness nondestructively and nonintrusively through measuring surface waves on surface. In this paper, principles of the SASW method are briefly described and the results of various field tests, conducted to investigate the applicability of the method, are summarized. The SASW method was successfully applied in evaluating the effects of dynamic compaction at Inchon international airport site, applied in evaluating the integrity of the lining and sidewall at a testing tunnel located in Mabukri, and applied in detecting thickness of a concrete retaining wall. The results of field tests and the nondestructive and economical characteristics of the method show the promising future of the SASW method in civil engineering projects.

In this paper, performance analysis of machine vision techniques is presented to improve the convenience and speed of automatic inspection in the industrial field when machine vision is applied to the image not taken in the stationary state, but in the moving state on a conveyer. When the length of cylindrical rods used for automobiles was measured using the edge detection method, the conveying speed increased, and the uncertainty of the boundary between the background and the part image increased, which resulted in a shorter image of the object taken. This paper proposes a linear compensation method to predict the biased errors of the length measurements after examining the pattern of biased and random errors, respectively, with 6 different types of specimens and 7 velocity stages. The length measurement corrected by the linear compensation method had the same accuracy as the stationary state within the speed range of 30 cm/s and could enhance the application capability in automatic inspections.

Downhole seismic method is very economic and easy of operation because it uses only one borehole and simple surface source to obtain the shear wave velocity ($V_s$) profile of a site. Even though it is widely used by the site investigation companies, universities and institutes, however, the $V_s$ profile determined by downhole seismic method has often low reliability due to employment of wrong combinations of field losing equipment and interpretation method and deficiency of experience. Round robin test was performed and testing equipment and procedure were compared. Adequate downhole seismic testing equipment was constructed based on the comparison and verification study of the round robin test. The data acquisition and software interpretation were also developed for automation and quick test in field. Finally, the effectiveness and applicability were verified through the field test by using the constructed testing system.
