Heritage timber structures represent the history and culture of a nation. These structures have been inherited from previous generations; however, they inevitably exhibit deterioration over time, potentially leading to structural deficiencies. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) offers the potential to assess operational anomalies, deterioration, and damage through processing and analysis of data collected from transducers and sensors mounted on the structure. This paper reports on the design and implementation of a long-term SHM system on the Feiyun Wooden Pavilion in China, a three-story timber building built more than 500 years ago. The principles and features of the design and implementation of SHM systems for heritage timber buildings are systematically discussed. In total, 104 sensors of 6 different types are deployed on the structure to monitor the environmental effects and structural responses, including air temperature and humidity, wind speed and direction, structural temperatures, strain, inclination, and acceleration. In addition, integrated data acquisition and transmission subsystem using a newly developed software platform are implemented. Selected preliminary statistical and correlation analysis using one year of monitoring data are presented to demonstrate the condition assessment capability of the system based on the monitoring data.

The feasibility of using AE for monitoring mechanical failure in concrete structures has been tested. Specifically, the relationship between the fracture and the characteristics of AE signal is theoretically and experimentally investigated. The experimental results manifest that the high sensitivity of AE signal to the fracture of concrete structure makes it a good choice as sensor for monitoring concrete structure.

본 논문은 광섬유 브래그 격자 센서를 이용한 텐서그리티 구조의 실시간 모니터링을 설명하였다. 텐서그리티 구조는 케이블의 장력만으로 평형을 유지하는 구조시스템이다. 힘의 평형을 이룰 때 케이블 각 부분에 장력은 일정하다 할 수 없다. 그러므로 각 부분의 장력의 계측은 매우 중요하다. 각 부분의 케이블의 장력을 계측하는데 광섬유 브래그 격자 센서가 적합한지를 증명하기 위하여 텐서그리티 시험체를 제작하였다. 광섬유 브래그 격자 센서를 이용하여 장력을 모니터링 하는 시험을 실시하였고, 시험의 결과로 광섬유 브래그 격자 센서는 외력 작용 시에 정확한 계측을 보여주었다. 그러므로 텐서그리티 구조의 케이블에 장력을 계측할 수 있고 실시간 모니터링이 가능하다.

For monitoring of the civil and building structure, optical fiber sensors are very convenient. The fiber sensors are very small and do not disturb the structural properties. They also have several merits such as electro-magnetic immunity, long signal transmission, good accuracy and multiplexibility in one sensor line. Strain measurement technologies with fiber optic sensors have been investigated as a part of smart structure. In this paper, we investigated the possibilities of fiber optic sensor application to the monitoring of beam-column joints of structures. We expect that the fiber optic sensors replace electrical strain gauges. The commercial electric strain gauges show good stability and dominate the strain measurement market. However, they lack durability and long term stability for continuous monitoring of the structures. In order to apply the strain gauges, we only have to attach them to the surfaces of the structures. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of using fiber optic Bragg grating sensors to joint structure. The sensors show nice response to the structural behavior of the joint.

The development of a digital signal processor based prototype is described in relation to continuing efforts for realizing a fully self-contained active sensor system utilizing impedance-based structural health monitoring. The impedance method utilizes a piezoelectric material bonded to the structure under observation to act as both an actuator and sensor. By monitoring the electrical impedance of the piezoelectric material, insights into the health of the structured can be inferred. The active sensing system detailed in this paper interrogates a structure utilizing a self-sensing actuator and a low cost impedance method. Here, all the data processing, storage, and analysis is performed at the sensor location. A wireless transmitter is used to communicate the current status of the structure. With this new low cost, field deployable impedance analyzer, reliance on traditional expensive, bulky, and power consuming impedance analyzers is no longer necessary. A complete power analysis of the prototype is performed to determine the validity of power harvesting being utilized for self-containment of the hardware. Experimental validation of the prototype on a representative structure is also performed and compared to traditional methods of damage detection.

극한환경에서의 구조물 거동을 파악하기 위하여 남극 세종과학기지 부근의 기상환경을 분석(1988년-2007년 및 2010년)하고, 이에 적합한 상용화된 계측기를 선정하여 남극기지(생물해양연구동)에 설치하여 검토하였다. 남극 세종과학기지 기상환경분석결과, $-25.6^{\circ}C$ 이하의 온도 및 49.5m/s정도의 바람에도 견딜 수 있는 계측기를 설치해야 하며 설치위치도 지표면에서 225.0cm 이상이어야 한다. 또한, 남극에서 사용할 계측기 센서의 경우 온도, 폭설 및 강풍에 민감하고, 기상환경 이외에 남극의 동물이 침범할 수 있으므로 계측기 및 계측기용 데이터로거를 보호할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하여 적용하였다. 새롭게 개발된 보호시스템은 극한환경에서도 설치가 용이하고 경제적이다. 1년간의 계측결과를 바탕으로 보호시스템의 극지 적용가능성을 검토하였으며, 구조물 거동도 예측이 가능함을 확인하였다.

구조물을 설계할 때 사용하는 컴퓨터 프로그램들은 구조물에 작용하는 각각의 조건을 고려한 최적의 설계를 할 수 있도록 도움을 준다. 하지만 컴퓨터 프로그램은 단순화시키고 일반화시킨 조건들을 적용하기 때문에 그 결과들은 실제 구조물의 거동을 정확히 설명할 수 없다. 이러한 문제점들을 극복하기 위해서 도입된 것이 스마트 구조이고 스마트 시스템을 통해 구조물을 상시 계측함으로서 실제 구조물의 정확한 거동을 파악할 수 있다. 본 연구는 실험을 통해 기존의 구조설계방법에 의한 구조물의 거동과 실제 구조물의 거동을 비교하여 계측시스템의 타당성 검토와 함께 앞으로의 발전가능성을 알아보고자 한다.

Across-wind response is often the cause of significant structural vibrations that in turn cause fatigue damage to welded and other connections. The efficacy of low-cost helical strakes to mitigate such adverse response is presented for a traffic signal structure. Field observations are made on a prototype structure in a natural wind environment without and with helical strakes installed on the cantilevered arm. Through continuous monitoring, the strakes were found to be effective in reducing across-wind response at wind speeds less than 10 m/s. Estimates of fatigue life are made for four different geographical locations and wind environments. Results for the class of traffic signal structure show that helical arm strakes are most effective in locations with benign wind environments where the average annual wind speed is not more than the vortex shedding wind speed, which for this investigation is 5 m/s. It is concluded that while strakes may be effective, it is not the panacea to mitigating connection fatigue at all locations.
