  • Quick, accurate damage monitoring is strongly required for damage assessment in the aftermath of a large natural disaster. Wireless sensor networks are promising technologies to acquire damage information in a citywide area. The wireless sensor networks, however, would be faced with difficulty to collect data in real-time and to expand the scalability of the networks. This paper discusses a scheme of network architecture to cove a whole city in multi-tier heterogeneous networks, which consist of wireless sensor networks, access networks and a backbone network. We first review previous studies for citywide damage monitoring, and then discuss the feature of multi-tier heterogeneous networks to cover a citywide area.

  • 정밀안전진단보고서를 분석한 결과 국내 고속도로 교량은 결함, 열화, 물리력에 의한 손상이 주요하게 발생한다. 특히 열화는 시간이 경과함에 따라 다양한 환경 영향인자와 외부적 요인에 의해 발생하는 필연적인 손상이다. 교량 바닥판의 경우 열화가 가장 빠른 부재로, 균열부를 중심으로 철근부식, 박리/박락 등의 여러 가지 유형의 이종손상이 함께 발생하는 것으로 분석된다. 따라서 교량의 이종손상과 열화환경 간의 상관관계를 밝히고 이를 통해 교량의 이종손상 발생 원인을 규명해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 랜덤포레스트를 활용하여 교량의 이종손상 예측 모델을 개발하였으며, 개발된 모델을 통해 이종손상 발생에 영향을 미치는 상위 5가지 영향인자를 도출하였다. 이를 통해 장래 교량의 유지관리 및 예산을 추정하는 분야에 활용하는 기초자료가 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

  • The 2D representative volume element (RVE) for softening quasi-brittle materials like concrete is determined. Two alternative methods are presented to determine a size of RVE in concrete subjected to uniaxial tension by taking into account strain localization. Concrete is described as a heterogeneous three-phase material composed of aggregate, cement matrix and bond. The plane strain FE calculations of strain localization at meso-scale are carried out with an isotropic damage model with non-local softening.

  • 국내 RC 슬래브교의 경우 공용연수가 20년 이상인 교량이 전체의 70% 이상을 차지하며, 노후화된 구조물의 수가 증가함에 따라 구조물의 안전 진단 및 유지관리의 중요성이 증가하는 실정이다. 고속도로 교량의 경우 바닥판 균열은 열화현상의 우선적인 원인이 되며, 교량 내구성 및 사용수명 저하에 밀접한 관계가 있다. 또한 신축이음과 교량받침 등의 부재 손상으로 인한 손상 발생 비율이 약 73%로 주부재보다 높다. 따라서 본 연구에서 교량 부재 손상과 바닥판 열화가 결합된 손상 시나리오를 정의하였다. 설계하중으로는 일교차를 고려한 온도 증감과 차랑햐중을 고려하여 개별 단일 손상 및 이종손상 시나리오 발생 시 바닥판 응력 분포와 최대 응력 발생 지점을 비교 분석하였다. 또한 바닥판 열화의 주요한 원인이 되는 균열의 점검 및 진단이력데이터 기반으로 공용연수 별 손상 시나리오에 대한 손상확산 분석 및 상태등급 예측을 수행하였다. 교량부재 손상이 동반되어 발생하는 이종손상의 경우 단일손상 대비 균열 면적율과 손상확산율이 증가되며, 상태등급 C에 도달하는 시기도 매우 빠를 것으로 예측된다. 따라서 교량부재 손상이 발생하였을 때, 신속한 보수 및 교체가 이루어지지 않으면 바닥판의 손상 발생과 손상 확산으로 인한 2차 피해를 유발하는 원인이 될 수 있다. 따라서 바닥판 응답에 대한 지속적인 관찰과 대응이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

  • The damage of concrete subjected to multiaxial complex loading involves strong anisotropy due to its highly heterogeneous nature and the geometrically anisotropic characteristic of the microcracks. A comprehensive description of concrete damage is proposed by introducing a fourth-order anisotropic damage tenser. The evolution of damage is assumed to be related to the principal components of the current states of stress and damage. The unilateral effect of damage due to the closure and opening of microcracks is taken into account by introducing projection tensors that are also determined by the current state of stress. The proposed damage model considers the different kinds of damage mechanisms that result in different failure modes and different patterns of microdefects that cause different unilateral effects. This damage model is embedded in a thermomechanically consistent constitutive equation in which hardening and the triaxial compression caused shear-enhanced compaction can also be taken into account. The validity of the proposed model is verified by comparing theoretical and experimental results of plain and steel fiber reinforced concrete subjected to complex triaxial stress histories.

  • 국내 고속도로 교량 중 가장 많은 비중을 차지하고 있는 PSC-I 거더교의 최근 10년간 정밀 안전진단 데이터의 상태등급을 분석한 결과 41.3%가 C등급으로 나타났다. 노후화되는 교량이 증가함에 따라 선제적 관리가 중요시되고 있다. 바닥판과 거더는 손상 및 열화 발생 시 교체 주기가 길어 교량의 서비스 및 노후도에 미치는 영향이 매우 크다. 또한 신축이음과 교량받침 등의 장치 손상 발생 비율도 높아 교량 부재에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 단경간 및 다경간 대표 PSC-I 거더 교량을 선정하여, 교량의 주요부재 및 부재 장치의 단일손상과 바닥판의 열화가 결합된 이종손상 시나리오를 정의하였다. 이종손상이 발생한 경우 단일손상이 발생한 경우보다 균열 발생 면적이 증가하였으며, 단경간 교량의 경우 교량받침 손상으로 인해 거더 균열 분포가 크게 확산되었으며, 다경간 교량의 경우 신축이음 양면손상으로 인해 바닥판의 균열분포가 크게 확산되었다. 이를 통해 교량 장치 손상이 발생하였을 때, 신속한 보수 및 교체가 이루어지지 않으면 손상 발생과 손상 확산으로 2차 피해를 유발할 수 있어, 바닥판 및 거더의 응답에 대한 지속적인 관찰과 대응이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

  • Low temperature associated damage mechanism is not well known for asphalt concrete. Many studies have related the thermal cracking of pavement in the roadway in cold region with overall shrinkage of the pavement surface under assumption of homogeneous material. This study, however, was intiated based on the assumption that thermal incompatibility of materials (heterogeneous) in asphalt concrete mixture would be the primary cause of the damages. Acoustic emission technique and microscopic obsevation were employed to evaluate damage mechanism of asphalt concrete due to low temperature. The first method showed the sufficient evidence that asphalt concrete could be damaged by lowered temperature only. The second method showed that the damage by temperature resulted in micro-cracks at the interface between asphalt matrix and aggregate particle. It was concluded that these damage mechanisms were the primary cause of major thermal cracking of asphalt pavement in cold region.

  • In this paper we deal with classical instability problems of heterogeneous Euler beam under conservative loading. It is chosen as the model problem to systematically present several possible solution methods from simplest deterministic to more complex stochastic approach, both of which that can handle more complex engineering problems. We first present classical analytic solution along with rigorous definition of the classical Euler buckling problem starting from homogeneous beam with either simplified linearized theory or the most general geometrically exact beam theory. We then present the numerical solution to this problem by using reduced model constructed by discrete approximation based upon the weak form of the instability problem featuring von Karman (virtual) strain combined with the finite element method. We explain how such numerical approach can easily be adapted to solving instability problems much more complex than classical Euler's beam and in particular for heterogeneous beam, where analytic solution is not readily available. We finally present the stochastic approach making use of the Duffing oscillator, as the corresponding reduced model for heterogeneous Euler's beam within the dynamics framework. We show that such an approach allows computing probability density function quantifying all possible solutions to this instability problem. We conclude that increased computational cost of the stochastic framework is more than compensated by its ability to take into account beam material heterogeneities described in terms of fast oscillating stochastic process, which is typical of time evolution of internal variables describing plasticity and damage.

  • The result of damage detection from on-site measurements is commonly polluted by unavoidable measurement noises. It is widely recognized that this side influence could be reduced to some extent if the sensor placement was properly designed. Although many methods have been proposed to find the optimal number and location of mono-type sensors, the optimal layout of multi-type sensors need further investigation, because a network of heterogeneous sensors is commonly used in engineering. In this paper, a new criterion of the optimal placement for different types of sensors is proposed. A corresponding heuristic is developed to search for good results. In addition, Monte Carlo simulation is suggested to design a robust damage detection system which contains certain redundancies. The validity of these methods is illustrated by two bridge examples.

  • The masonry is a complex heterogeneous material and its shear deformation and fracture is associated with very complicated progressive failures in masonry structure, and is investigated in this paper using a mesoscopic mechanical modelling, Considering the heterogeneity of masonry material, based on the damage mechanics and elastic-brittle theory, the newly developed Material Failure Process Analysis (MFPA) system was brought out to simulate the cracking process of masonry, which was considered as a three-phase composite of the block phase, the mortar phase and the block-mortar interfaces. The crack propagation processes simulated with this model shows good agreement with those of experimental observations by other researchers. This finding indicates that the shear fracture of masonry observed at the macroscopic level is predominantly caused by tensile damage at the mesoscopic level. Some brittle materials are so weak in tension relative to shear that tensile rather than shear fractures are generated in pure shear loading.
