최근 토목, 건축 구조물의 유지관리 기술에 대한 관심이 커지고 있으며 구조물의 성능저하 및 노후화 등으로 구조적 안전성의 검토가 요구되는 구조물의 수가 급증하고 있는 실정이다. 그리고 구조물의 노후화 및 부재의 균열 등으로 인하여 강성이 저하되면 구조물의 동특성에 변화가 나타나게 되며 구조물의 실제 거동상태에서 동특성을 분석하여 손상부위와 손상정도를 정확히 판단하는 것은 중요한 문제이다. 구조물 모니터링에 사용되는 대표적 계측장비가 동적계측기이다. 기존의 동적계측기는 측정 센서와 장비를 연결하는 케이블 길이가 길어질 경우 신뢰할 수 있는 데이터를 얻기 힘들고 각 센서와 계측기를 1:1로 연결하는 방식을 취하고 있어 비경제적이다. 따라서 센서를 부착하지 않고 원거리에서 진동을 측정하는 방법이 필요하다. 구조물의 진동을 계측하기 위하여 적용 가능한 비접촉식 방법으로는 레이저의 도플러효과, GPS를 이용하는 방법 및 영상처리기법 등이 대표적이다. 레이저의 도플러효과를 이용하는 방법은 정확도가 상대적으로 높지만 비경제적이며, GPS를 이용하는 방법은 장비가 고가이고 신호 자체의 오차와 데이터 취득속도의 제약이 있는 단점이 있다. 그러나 영상신호를 이용하는 방법은 간편하고 경제적이며 접근이 어려운 구조물의 진동 및 동특성 추출에 적합하다. 기존에도 센서를 대신하여 카메라의 영상신호를 이용하는 연구가 수행되기도 하였으나, 기존의 방법은 구조물에 부착된 표적의 한 지점을 기록한 후 영상처리기법을 이용하여 진동을 측정하는 방법으로서 측정 대상이 비교적 국한적일 수 있다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 영상처리기법을 이용하여 구조물의 다중 변위응답을 측정할 수 있는 방법의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 진동대 실험 및 현장재하실험을 수행하였다.

1. 목적 자동분주기를 이용하여 검사한 Cyclosporine검사에서 표준액들이 curve를 벗어나고, 결과값의 재현성이 크게 떨어지는 것이 발견되었다. Cyclosporine검사는 다른 검사와 차이점이 methanol과 전혈을 혼합 후 원심분리 하여 methanol 추출액을 사용하여 검사를 한다는 것이다. 검사 결과 이상의 원인이 methanol 사용에 의한 것으로 파악되어 본 실험을 시작하였다. 본원에서 사용하는 분주기는 Perkin Elmer 사의 Multiprobe II plus 로, 분주하는 액체의 점도, 샘플링 tip의 size, 사용하는 모터의 속도에 따라 여러 설정값을 조정하라고 안내되어 있을 뿐 정확한 지침은 없었다. 이에 사용하는 액체별 분주성능을 측정하고 최적의 분주성능을 위한 설정값을 찾기 위해 연구하였다. 2. 대상 및 방법 분주력 측정을 위해 4가지 용액(water, serum, methanol, PEG 6000(25%))와 $TSH^{125}I$ tracer (515 kBq)을 사용 하였고, 실제 결과 값을 비교하기 위해 2016년 1월에 본원에 검사 의뢰된 Cyclosporine검체 29개를 측정하였다. 4가지의 용액을 multi pipette을 이용하여 각각 $400{\mu}l$ 분주하고 tracer $100{\mu}l$씩을 섞어 용액별로 8개의 검체를 준비하였다. 준비된 sample을 분주기로 $100{\mu}l$씩 분주하여 CPM을 측정하고, 용액별로 CV(%)를 계산하였다. 그리고 분주기의 air gap, 분주속도와 지연시간을 변경한 후 다시 분주하여 측정한 CPM을 CV(%)로 계산하여 설정 값 변경에 따른 CV(%)값의 변화를 측정하여 최적의 설정 값을 찾는다. Cyclosporine검체 29개를 (1)manual검사 (2)기존 설정 값으로 검사 (3)수정한 설정값으로 검사 했을 때의 결과를 비교하였다. 용액별 분주력 평가는 CV(%)를 이용하여 계산하였고, 실제 검사 결과 값의 비교는 manual검사 결과를 기준으로 기존 설정 값으로 검사 했을 때, 수정한 설정 값으로 검사 했을 때의 결과 값을 Difference(%)와 상대오차(%Relative error : %RE)로 비교해 보았다. 3. 결과 4가지 용액과 tracer를 섞어 분주한 CPM의 CV(%)는 water 0.88, serum 0.95, methanol 10.22, PEG는 0.68로 methanol을 제외한 용액들은 1% 이내였으나, methanol은 CPM 차이가 두드러졌다. methanol 분주를 기존 설정 값인 Transport air gap 0에서 2와 5로 변경하여 검사 시 CV(%)는 각각 20.16, 12.54, System air gap 0에서 2와 5로 변경 시 8.94, 1.36으로 나타났다. System air gap 2, Transport air gap 2로 변경 시 CV(%)는 12.96, System air gap 5, Transport air gap 5로 변경 시 1.33 이었고, Dispense speed를 300에서 100으로 변경 시 CV(%)는 13.32, Dispense delay를 200에서 100으로 변경 시는 13.55인 것으로 나타났다. 분주기를 이용하여 기존설정 값으로 검사 시에는 manual검사 결과 값에 비해 평균 99.44%증가 하였고, 상대오차는 93.59%로 나타났다. 수정된 설정 값(System air gap 0에서 5로 변경, 다른 설정은 기존과 동일)으로 검사 했을 때는 manual검사 결과 값에 비해 결과가 평균 6.75% 증가 하였고, 상대오차는 5.10%로 상대오차의 허용기준치 10%에 비하여 양호한 결과가 나왔다. 4. 결론 Transport air gap, Dispense speed, Delay time을 조정하였을 때는 CV(%)가 증가하였고, System air gap을 조정 하였을 때 CV(%)가 현저하게 감소하였다. 실제 검사결과에서도 이를 확인 할 수 있었다. methanol을 이용한 Cyclosporine검사 kit는 올해 2월에 단종이 되었지만, 분주기를 사용함에 있어 용액에 따른 분주성능에 차이가 있을 수 있음을 염두해 두어야 하고 새로운 용액을 분주해야 할때는 미량저울로 분주량을 측정하거나 CPM으로 분주성능을 측정하여 해당 용액이 분주기를 사용함에 적절한지 검증 후 사용하여야 할 것으로 사료되어 본 실험결과를 보고하고자 한다.

The objective of this research is to test the feasibility of developing a statewide truck traffic forecasting methodology for Wisconsin by using Origin-Destination surveys, traffic counts, classification counts, and other data that are routinely collected by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT). Development of a feasible model will permit estimation of future truck traffic for every major link in the network. This will provide the basis for improved estimation of future pavement deterioration. Pavement damage rises exponentially as axle weight increases, and trucks are responsible for most of the traffic-induced damage to pavement. Consequently, forecasts of truck traffic are critical to pavement management systems. The pavement Management Decision Supporting System (PMDSS) prepared by WisDOT in May 1990 combines pavement inventory and performance data with a knowledge base consisting of rules for evaluation, problem identification and rehabilitation recommendation. Without a r.easonable truck traffic forecasting methodology, PMDSS is not able to project pavement performance trends in order to make assessment and recommendations in the future years. However, none of WisDOT's existing forecasting methodologies has been designed specifically for predicting truck movements on a statewide highway network. For this research, the Origin-Destination survey data avaiiable from WisDOT, including two stateline areas, one county, and five cities, are analyzed and the zone-to'||'&'||'not;zone truck trip tables are developed. The resulting Origin-Destination Trip Length Frequency (00 TLF) distributions by trip type are applied to the Gravity Model (GM) for comparison with comparable TLFs from the GM. The gravity model is calibrated to obtain friction factor curves for the three trip types, Internal-Internal (I-I), Internal-External (I-E), and External-External (E-E). ~oth "macro-scale" calibration and "micro-scale" calibration are performed. The comparison of the statewide GM TLF with the 00 TLF for the macro-scale calibration does not provide suitable results because the available 00 survey data do not represent an unbiased sample of statewide truck trips. For the "micro-scale" calibration, "partial" GM trip tables that correspond to the 00 survey trip tables are extracted from the full statewide GM trip table. These "partial" GM trip tables are then merged and a partial GM TLF is created. The GM friction factor curves are adjusted until the partial GM TLF matches the 00 TLF. Three friction factor curves, one for each trip type, resulting from the micro-scale calibration produce a reasonable GM truck trip model. A key methodological issue for GM. calibration involves the use of multiple friction factor curves versus a single friction factor curve for each trip type in order to estimate truck trips with reasonable accuracy. A single friction factor curve for each of the three trip types was found to reproduce the 00 TLFs from the calibration data base. Given the very limited trip generation data available for this research, additional refinement of the gravity model using multiple mction factor curves for each trip type was not warranted. In the traditional urban transportation planning studies, the zonal trip productions and attractions and region-wide OD TLFs are available. However, for this research, the information available for the development .of the GM model is limited to Ground Counts (GC) and a limited set ofOD TLFs. The GM is calibrated using the limited OD data, but the OD data are not adequate to obtain good estimates of truck trip productions and attractions .. Consequently, zonal productions and attractions are estimated using zonal population as a first approximation. Then, Selected Link based (SELINK) analyses are used to adjust the productions and attractions and possibly recalibrate the GM. The SELINK adjustment process involves identifying the origins and destinations of all truck trips that are assigned to a specified "selected link" as the result of a standard traffic assignment. A link adjustment factor is computed as the ratio of the actual volume for the link (ground count) to the total assigned volume. This link adjustment factor is then applied to all of the origin and destination zones of the trips using that "selected link". Selected link based analyses are conducted by using both 16 selected links and 32 selected links. The result of SELINK analysis by u~ing 32 selected links provides the least %RMSE in the screenline volume analysis. In addition, the stability of the GM truck estimating model is preserved by using 32 selected links with three SELINK adjustments, that is, the GM remains calibrated despite substantial changes in the input productions and attractions. The coverage of zones provided by 32 selected links is satisfactory. Increasing the number of repetitions beyond four is not reasonable because the stability of GM model in reproducing the OD TLF reaches its limits. The total volume of truck traffic captured by 32 selected links is 107% of total trip productions. But more importantly, ~ELINK adjustment factors for all of the zones can be computed. Evaluation of the travel demand model resulting from the SELINK adjustments is conducted by using screenline volume analysis, functional class and route specific volume analysis, area specific volume analysis, production and attraction analysis, and Vehicle Miles of Travel (VMT) analysis. Screenline volume analysis by using four screenlines with 28 check points are used for evaluation of the adequacy of the overall model. The total trucks crossing the screenlines are compared to the ground count totals. L V/GC ratios of 0.958 by using 32 selected links and 1.001 by using 16 selected links are obtained. The %RM:SE for the four screenlines is inversely proportional to the average ground count totals by screenline .. The magnitude of %RM:SE for the four screenlines resulting from the fourth and last GM run by using 32 and 16 selected links is 22% and 31 % respectively. These results are similar to the overall %RMSE achieved for the 32 and 16 selected links themselves of 19% and 33% respectively. This implies that the SELINICanalysis results are reasonable for all sections of the state.Functional class and route specific volume analysis is possible by using the available 154 classification count check points. The truck traffic crossing the Interstate highways (ISH) with 37 check points, the US highways (USH) with 50 check points, and the State highways (STH) with 67 check points is compared to the actual ground count totals. The magnitude of the overall link volume to ground count ratio by route does not provide any specific pattern of over or underestimate. However, the %R11SE for the ISH shows the least value while that for the STH shows the largest value. This pattern is consistent with the screenline analysis and the overall relationship between %RMSE and ground count volume groups. Area specific volume analysis provides another broad statewide measure of the performance of the overall model. The truck traffic in the North area with 26 check points, the West area with 36 check points, the East area with 29 check points, and the South area with 64 check points are compared to the actual ground count totals. The four areas show similar results. No specific patterns in the L V/GC ratio by area are found. In addition, the %RMSE is computed for each of the four areas. The %RMSEs for the North, West, East, and South areas are 92%, 49%, 27%, and 35% respectively, whereas, the average ground counts are 481, 1383, 1532, and 3154 respectively. As for the screenline and volume range analyses, the %RMSE is inversely related to average link volume. 'The SELINK adjustments of productions and attractions resulted in a very substantial reduction in the total in-state zonal productions and attractions. The initial in-state zonal trip generation model can now be revised with a new trip production's trip rate (total adjusted productions/total population) and a new trip attraction's trip rate. Revised zonal production and attraction adjustment factors can then be developed that only reflect the impact of the SELINK adjustments that cause mcreases or , decreases from the revised zonal estimate of productions and attractions. Analysis of the revised production adjustment factors is conducted by plotting the factors on the state map. The east area of the state including the counties of Brown, Outagamie, Shawano, Wmnebago, Fond du Lac, Marathon shows comparatively large values of the revised adjustment factors. Overall, both small and large values of the revised adjustment factors are scattered around Wisconsin. This suggests that more independent variables beyond just 226; population are needed for the development of the heavy truck trip generation model. More independent variables including zonal employment data (office employees and manufacturing employees) by industry type, zonal private trucks 226; owned and zonal income data which are not available currently should be considered. A plot of frequency distribution of the in-state zones as a function of the revised production and attraction adjustment factors shows the overall " adjustment resulting from the SELINK analysis process. Overall, the revised SELINK adjustments show that the productions for many zones are reduced by, a factor of 0.5 to 0.8 while the productions for ~ relatively few zones are increased by factors from 1.1 to 4 with most of the factors in the 3.0 range. No obvious explanation for the frequency distribution could be found. The revised SELINK adjustments overall appear to be reasonable. The heavy truck VMT analysis is conducted by comparing the 1990 heavy truck VMT that is forecasted by the GM truck forecasting model, 2.975 billions, with the WisDOT computed data. This gives an estimate that is 18.3% less than the WisDOT computation of 3.642 billions of VMT. The WisDOT estimates are based on the sampling the link volumes for USH, 8TH, and CTH. This implies potential error in sampling the average link volume. The WisDOT estimate of heavy truck VMT cannot be tabulated by the three trip types, I-I, I-E ('||'&'||'pound;-I), and E-E. In contrast, the GM forecasting model shows that the proportion ofE-E VMT out of total VMT is 21.24%. In addition, tabulation of heavy truck VMT by route functional class shows that the proportion of truck traffic traversing the freeways and expressways is 76.5%. Only 14.1% of total freeway truck traffic is I-I trips, while 80% of total collector truck traffic is I-I trips. This implies that freeways are traversed mainly by I-E and E-E truck traffic while collectors are used mainly by I-I truck traffic. Other tabulations such as average heavy truck speed by trip type, average travel distance by trip type and the VMT distribution by trip type, route functional class and travel speed are useful information for highway planners to understand the characteristics of statewide heavy truck trip patternS. Heavy truck volumes for the target year 2010 are forecasted by using the GM truck forecasting model. Four scenarios are used. Fo~ better forecasting, ground count- based segment adjustment factors are developed and applied. ISH 90 '||'&'||' 94 and USH 41 are used as example routes. The forecasting results by using the ground count-based segment adjustment factors are satisfactory for long range planning purposes, but additional ground counts would be useful for USH 41. Sensitivity analysis provides estimates of the impacts of the alternative growth rates including information about changes in the trip types using key routes. The network'||'&'||'not;based GMcan easily model scenarios with different rates of growth in rural versus . . urban areas, small versus large cities, and in-state zones versus external stations. cities, and in-state zones versus external stations.
