This paper begins by analyzing cable vibrations due to external excitations and their effects on the overall dynamic behavior of cable-stayed bridges. It is concluded that if the natural frequency of a cable approaches any natural frequency of the bridge, the cable loses its rigidity and functionality. The results of this analysis explain the phenomenon that occurred on the Dubrovnik Bridge in Croatia during a storm and measures for its retrofit. A field test was conducted before the bridge was opened to traffic. It was concluded: "The Bridge excited unpleasant transverse superstructure vibration with the frequency of approximately 0.470 Hz. Hence, it seems possible that a pair of stays vibrating in phase may excite deck vibrations". Soon after this Bridge opened, a storm dumped heavy damp snow in the area, causing the six longest cable stay pairs of the main span to undergo large-amplitude vibrations, and the superstructure underwent considerable displacements in combined torsion-sway and bending modes. This necessitated rehabilitation measures for the Bridge including devices to suppress the large-amplitude vibrations of cables. The rehabilitation and monitoring of the Bridge are also presented here.

The hot spot stress approach is usually adopted in the fatigue design and analysis of tubular welded joints. To apply the hot spot stress approach for fatigue evaluation of long span suspension bridges, the FEM is used to determine the hot spot stress of critical fatigue location. Using the local finite element models of the Tsing Ma Bridge, typical joints are developed and the stress concentration factors are determined. As a case for study, the calculated stress concentration factor is combined with the nominal representative stress block cycle to obtain the representative hot spot stress range cycle block under traffic loading from online health monitoring system. A comparison is made between the nominal stress approach and the hot spot stress approach for fatigue life evaluation of the Tsing Ma Bridge. The comparison result shows that the nominal stress approach cannot consider the most critical stress of the fatigue damage location and the hot spot stress approach is more appropriate for fatigue evaluation.

SIP(Session Initiation Protocol)은 VoIP(Iroice over IP)와 같은 인터넷 멀티미디어 통신 시스템의 세션 제어 프로토콜로 제안되었으며 많은 표준안에서 채택하고 있다. SIP는 다양한 형태의 오디오와 비디오 형식과 품질이 보장된 실시간 데이터 전송을 지원하기 위해 복잡한 세션 제어 단계를 갖는다. 그러나 지금까지의 프로토콜 분석기는 SIP 기반 멀티미디어 통신 시스템에서 발생되는 트래픽을 상세하게 분석해주지 못하고 있다 이에 본 논문에서는 SIP 기반의 멀티미디어 통신 시스템의 세션 설정 단계에서 데이터 교환 및 세션 변경에 따른 세부 정보를 분석하고 진단할 수 있는 도구로 새로운 프로토콜 분석기를 설계하고 구현한다. 제안된 프로토콜 분석기는 STAT(SIP based Traffic Analysis Tool)이라고 부르며 범용성과 확장성이 있도록 PC Windows에서 사용 가능한 소프트웨어로 구현되었다. STAT는 이더넷의 특징인 동보 기능을 이용하여 저수준 패킷을 수집하여 분석함으로써 SIP 기반 통신 시스템에 직접적인 영향 없이 세션 연결 상태와 실시간 트래픽 모니터링 정보를 제공한다. 따라서 본 논문에서 구현한 STAT는 SIP 기반 멀티미디어 통신 시스템의 개발 및 관리 도구로 활용될 수 있다.

This paper aims to present the analytical solutions of 2-2 cement based piezoelectric transducers in series electrically based on the theory of piezo-elastic dynamics. The solutions of two different kinds of 2-2 cement based piezoelectric transducers under external harmonic load are obtained by using the displacement method. The effects of electrical connection of piezoelectric layers, loading frequency, thickness and distance of piezoelectric layers on the characteristics of the transducers are discussed. Comparisons with other related experimental investigations are also given, and good agreement is found. The proposed 2-2 cement based piezoelectric transducers have a great potential application in monitoring structural health in civil engineering and capturing mechanical energy or monitoring train-running safety in railway system and traffic safety in road system.

The structural strain plays a significant role in structural condition assessment of in-service bridges in terms of structural bearing capacity, structural reliability level and entire safety redundancy. Therefore, it has been one of the most important parameters concerned by researchers and engineers engaged in structural health monitoring (SHM) practices. In this paper, an SHM system instrumented on the Jiubao Bridge located in Hangzhou, China is firstly introduced. This system involves nine subsystems and has been continuously operated for five years since 2012. As part of the SHM system, a total of 166 fiber Bragg grating (FBG) strain sensors are installed on the bridge to measure the dynamic strain responses of key structural components. Based on the strain monitoring data acquired in recent two years, the strain-based structural condition assessment of the Jiubao Bridge is carried out. The wavelet multi-resolution algorithm is applied to separate the temperature effect from the raw strain data. The obtained strain data under the normal traffic and wind condition and under the typhoon condition are examined for structural safety evaluation. The structural condition rating of the bridge in accordance with the AASHTO specification for condition evaluation and load and resistance factor rating of highway bridges is performed by use of the processed strain data in combination with finite element analysis. The analysis framework presented in this study can be used as a reference for facilitating the assessment, inspection and maintenance activities of in-service bridges instrumented with long-term SHM system.

Purpose: In this study, volatile organic compounds(VOCs) and aldehydes generated from roadside vehicles and other pollutants were measured and analyzed. Research design, data and methodology: As a result of measuring and analyzing three areas near the roadside, Vinyl chloride 0.00 ~ 0.02 ppb, Benzene 2.87 ~ 5.01 ppb. Toluene 4.51 ~ 8.62 ppb, Styrene 0.00 ~ 0.34 ppb, Formaldehyde 8.45 ~ 17.12 ug/m³, Acetaldehyde 7.01 ~ 17.64 ug/m³ were detected. When comparing the analysis results and the 6-month average concentration of the hazardous air monitoring network, the analysis results were about 26 times higher for Benzene, about 5 times for Toluene, and about 3.75 times for Styrene. In the case of vinyl chloride, it was confirmed that it was about 20 times lower than that of the hazardous atmosphere monitoring network. Results: Therefore, it is necessary to reexamine the installation location of the measurement network because people are exposed to pollutants on the actual roadside. It is judged that it is right to build a measurement network that is practically helpful to people by increasing the measurement items in the measurement network.

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is a promising technology for monitoring physical phenomena at fine-grained spatial and temporal resolution. However, the typical approach of sending each sensed measurement out of the network for detailed spatial analysis of transient physical phenomena may not be an efficient or scalable solution. This paper focuses on in-network physical phenomena detection schemes, particularly the distributed computation of the boundary of physical phenomena (i.e. event), to support energy efficient spatial analysis in wireless sensor networks. In-network processing approach reduces the amount of network traffic and thus achieves network scalability and lifetime longevity. This study investigates the recent advances in distributed event detection based on in-network processing and includes a concise comparison of various existing schemes. These boundary detection schemes identify not only those sensor nodes that lie on the boundary of the physical phenomena but also the interior nodes. This constitutes an event geometry which is a basic building block of many spatial queries. In this paper, we introduce the challenges and opportunities for research in the field of in-network distributed event geometry boundary detection as well as illustrate the current status of research in this field. We also present new areas where the event geometry boundary detection can be of significant importance.

많은 노드와 넓은 지역을 커버하기 위해 클러스터-트리 형태로 구성된 모니터링 네트워크는 싱크 주변에 트래픽이 집중된다. IEEE 802.15.4가 이러한 센서 네트워크에 적용 되었을 때 싱크 주변지역에서의 트래픽 집중으로 인하여 데이터의 전송지연이 길어지고, 데이터를 잃어버릴 가능성이 높다. 본 논문에서는 LR-WPAN에서 채널을 동적으로 할당하여 채널 사용률을 높이고, 데이터 전송 성공률을 높이는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 제안한 알고리즘의 성능평가를 위하여 IEEE 802.15.4의 액티브 구간길이를 다양하게 설정하여 실험하였다. 실험 환경은 클러스터-트리 형태의 모니터링 네트워크를 가정하고, 트래픽이 집중되는 지역인 싱크와 1홉 거리에서 발생하는 트래픽을 분석했다. 실험결과 트래픽이 많을수록 DCA가 우수한 성능을 보였다. 트래픽이 가장 적은 상황에 대한 실험에서 IEEE 802.15.4는 최소한의 액티브길이인 14.40ms로 동착하여 90.3%의 데이터 전송 성공률을 보이고, DCA는 11.8ms의 액티브 구간을 유지하며 98.9%의 데이터 전송 성공률을 보였다.

Speeding is one of major causes of frequent and severe traffic accidents in school zones. In this paper, the long-term effectiveness of speed monitoring displays (SMD) on speed variability was investigated through a field study in a school zone environment. The performance difference was discussed with several dependent variables including average speed, 85th percentile speed, and distribution of speed. Study results showed that the speed of vehicles began to reduce where the driver recognized the presence of an SMD, and about 12.4 percent (5.8km/h) of average speed was reduced at the SMD location. This speed reduction was observed throughout the day regardless of time of day. Statistical tests showed that the speed difference was statistically significant. In addition, analysis results of speed distribution showed that the number of speeding vehicle was greatly reduced after the SMD was installed, and 85th percentile speed also decreased from 54.3km1h to 45.0km/h. Therefore, it was concluded that the application of SMD produced a positive impact on the driver's behavior for a long period of times.
