The purpose of this study is to evaluate the structural safety of cultural altar since its bearing capacity has been questioned due to weathering damages and sectional defections. This evaluation process consists two stages; which the first is field investigation and the second is structural modeling and analysis. Based on field investigation, all of the structural members supporting the altar were carefully examined and all the findings were accounted for the development of the structural modeling using the Midas computer program. Using a 3D scanner, the weight of the Buddha statue was applied to the structural modeling. Then, according to the allowable stress design method of KBC2016, the structural safety was evaluated. Based on this result, replacements of several structural members were recommended to increase the structural safety and value of cultural property.

In order to take account of the statistical properties of probability variables used in the structural analysis, the conventional approach using the safety factor based on past experience usually estimated the safety of a structure. The real structures could only be analyzed with the error in estimation of loads, material characters and the dimensions of the members. But the errors should be considered systematically in the structural analysis. Structural safety could not precisely be appraised by the traditional structural design concept. Recently, new approach based on the probability concept has been applied to the assessment of structural safety using the reliability concept. In this study, safety of structures will estimated by the reliability analysis with commercial structural software that has the tools of nonlinear elastic-plastic 3-D analysis. Experimental test result is compared to results from this research and Coan/sup 1)/ In this paper, AFOSM(Advanced First-Order Second Moment method) is applied with von Mises, Tresca and Mohr-Coulomb failure criterions. The reliability index β and probability of failure P/sub f/ can be obtained by following this practical procedure as judgement a safety of structures and necessity of reinforcing.

In order to take account of the statistical properties of random variables used in the structural analysis, the conventional approach usually adopts the safety factor based on past experiences for the qualitative assessment of structural safety problem. Recently, new approach based on the probabilistic concept has been applied to the assessment of structural safety in order to circumvent the difficulties of the conventional approach in choosing the appropriate safety factor. Thus, computer program called "Probabilistic finite element method" is developed by incorporation the probabilistic concept into the conventional matrix method in order to investigate the effects of the random variables on the final output of the structural analysis. From the comparison of some examples, it can be concluded that the PFEM developed in this study deals with consistently with the uncertainty of random variables and provides the rational tool for the assessment of structural safety of plane frame.

This study examined the structural behavior of bracket scaffolds reflecting the influence of bracket's deflection. Even though the supporting condition of bracket scaffolds is different to that of general earth-supported scaffolds, there is no clear standards about the installation of bracket scaffolds. To compare the structural behaviors of the earth-supported scaffolds without settlements in columns and those of bracket scaffolds installed on the bracket structure, the finite element analysis was performed. The results show that the differential settlement between the scaffold columns installed on the bracket was occurred due to the deflection of the bracket. The differential settlement gave birth to remarkable secondary stress to the scaffold columns. It is resonable to locate all scaffold columns on the brackets, and if unavoidable situation is faced at a site, the horizontal members should not placed alone without columns on the brackets. Moreover, the structural analysis should be performed to ensure structural safety of bracket scaffolds before installation. In addition, the location of wall connection to the structures is recommended to the scaffolds columns installed on the brackets.

Criteria for rehabilitation priority are discussed to evaluate structural stability of deteriorated water transport and transmission pipes, in this study. For the purposes, safety factor is introduced and estimated by measuring tensile strength and by analyzing stress caused by the internal-external loads working on buried pipe body. Related informations are surveyed and collected under various conditions in the fields by digging out and the structural stability is assessed. In the evaluation results of structural safety, it is shown that steel pipe is more affected by external load than internal load. The average external load is estimated as $53.7kg/cm^2$ and total hoop stress is estimated by $2676.5kg/cm^2$. Also, Poisson effect into longitudinal direction due to internal and external loads is most influential on hoop stress. The calculated safety factors of hoop stress are ranged from 0.7 to 5.2 with average value of 2.1, considering a bending stress to longitudinal direction. The decision of rehabilitation priority by safety factors show that structural safety of CIP sample 1(S1) was assessed at the lowest order with safety factor value, 0.7 and that of DI sample 15(S15) was evaluated as the most stable in structural aspect.

In the present structural codes the safety verification is based on a linear analysis of the structure and the satisfaction of ultimate and serviceability limit states, using a semi-probabilistic security format through the consideration of partial safety factors, which affect the action values and the characteristic values of the material properties. In this context, if a non-linear structural analysis is wanted a difficulty arises, because the global safety coefficient, which could be obtained in a straightforward way from the non-linear analysis, is not directly relatable to the different safety coefficient values usually used for the different materials, as is the case for reinforced concrete structures. The work here presented aims to overcome this difficulty by proposing a methodology that generalises the format of safety verification based on partial safety factors, well established in structural codes within the scope of linear analysis, for cases where non-linear analysis is needed. The methodology preserves the principal assumptions made in the codes as well as a reasonable simplicity in its use, including a realistic definition of the material properties and the structural behaviour, and it is based on the evaluation of a global safety coefficient. Some examples are presented aiming to clarify and synthesise all the options that were taken in the application of the proposed methodology, namely how to transpose the force distributions obtained with a non-linear analysis into design force distributions. One of the most important features of the proposed methodology, the ability for comparing the simplified procedures for second order effects evaluation prescribed in the structural codes, is also presented in a simple and systematic way. The potential of the methodology for the development and assessment of alternative and more accurate procedures to those already established in codes of practice, where non-linear effects must be considered, is also indicated.

The structural safety of long span bridges such as suspension bridges is smaller under the construction stage than in the completion. But the importance of construction sequences has been neglected in most of safety check programs. On this study is developed the structural analysis method of suspension bridges considering construction sequences and structural analyses are performed by step by step during construction. This can be used to determine the safest erection method. The results shows that the more critical structural behavior appears under construction than after completion.

It is very important to manage efficient data for safety and maintenance of those constructs. Estimation for structural safety can be evaluated by using data that surveys various structural durability and safety elements. so, it should be based on synthetic and efficient data that includes a variety of related safety elements obtained from a structure. It will subsequently be managed properly and economically. Accordingly, we will approach efficient maintenance management using a Geographic Information System (GIS) with data from structural-safety diagnosis and a Global Positioning System (GPS). In this study, we noted that by using the data that measures the factors (crack, incline, settlement etc.) of various structures as evaluate safety degree. And the horizontal coordinate variation/time of structure was monitored using the GPS easily.

Among the soft ground improvement methods, PBD is the most common construction method because it is cheap and construction is fast. However, if the ground is rigid, additional work is required. In this study, the structural safety, natural vibration, and safety angle of the steel vertical tower structure were evaluated in the development of the PBD composite perforator which can be combined with drilling work and PBD construction. Structural safety was assessed when the wind load of 20 m/s was simultaneously applied to the PBD construction load of 20 tons, the perforating operation of 25 tons, and the wind speed of 50 m/s was applied only to the wind load. The natural frequencies were evaluated up to the sixth mode, and the safety angle was evaluated for static and dynamic safety angles.
