This paper proposes a method to acquire image data inside tunnel structures and a method to structure the acquired image data. By improving the conditions by which image data are acquired inside the tunnel structure, high-quality image data can be obtained from area type tunnel scanning. To improve the data acquisition conditions, a longitudinal rail of the tunnel can be installed on the tunnel ceiling, and image data of the entire tunnel structure can be acquired by moving the installed rail. This study identified 0.5 mm cracked simulation lines under a distance condition of 20 m at resolutions of 3,840 × 2,160 and 720 × 480 pixels. In addition, the proposed image-data-structuring method could acquire image data in image tile units. Here, the image data of the tunnel can be structured by substituting the application factors (resolution of the acquired image and the tunnel size) into a relationship equation. In an experiment, the image data of a tunnel with a length of 1,000 m and a width of 20 m were obtained with a minimum overlap rate of 0.02% to 8.36% depending on resolution and precision, and the size of the local coordinate system was found to be (14 × 15) to (36 × 34) pixels.

본 논문에서는 터널 구조물에서 발생하는 균열의 인식과 이에 대한 정보를 획득하기 위한 방법에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 터널 구조물에서 발생하는 균열의 경우, 건설 분야의 특수성 때문에 기존의 경계점 인식(edge detection) 알고리즘을 적용하는 경우 정밀도 저하의 문제가 발생한다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하고 더불어 정밀도를 향상시킬 수 있는 방법으로 영상에서 균열을 인식하는 균열 인식 단계와 인식된 균열의 길이, 두께 등을 측정하는 균열 정보 획득 단계로 구분하였다. 균열 인식 단계에서는 균열의 시작점과 끝점을 기준으로 휴리스틱(Heuristic) 알고리즘을 사용하여 픽셀 값의 분포에 따라 균열의 중심선을 계산하여 균열을 인식한다. 균열 정보 획득 단계에서는 균열 인식 단계에서 얻은 정보를 통해 균열의 길이, 진행 방향 정보, 그리고 균열의 두께를 계산한다. 균열의 길이 및 진행 방향 정보는 균열 인식 단계에서 얻어진 정보를 통하여 계산하며, 균열 두께 측정은 각 픽셀의 누적 값을 이용하여 계산하는 원형 검출기(Daugman 알고리즘)를 변형하여 사용하였다.

We report on the development of a new technology for the fabrication of Micro-Electro-Mechanical-System (MEMS) strain sensors to realize a novel type of crackmeter for health monitoring of ageing civil infrastructures. The fabrication of micromachined silicon MEMS sensors based on a Silicon On Insulator (SOI) technology, designed according to a Double Ended Tuning Fork (DETF) geometry is presented, using a novel process which includes a gap narrowing procedure suitable to fabricate sensors with low motional resistance. In order to employ these sensors for crack monitoring, techniques suited for bonding the MEMS sensors on a steel surface ensuring good strain transfer from steel to silicon and a packaging technique for the bonded sensors are proposed, conceived for realizing a low-power crackmeter for ageing infrastructure monitoring. Moreover, the design of a possible crackmeter geometry suited for detection of crack contraction and expansion with a resolution of $10{\mu}m$ and very low power consumption requirements (potentially suitable for wireless operation) is presented. In these sensors, the small crackmeter range for the first field use is related to long-term observation on existing cracks in underground tunnel test sections.

The stability forecasting of rock slope is more difficult than soil slope because catching the sign of failure in monitoring is not easy and deformation of the rock is small in failure process. But in the rock slope, there is small deformation like crack propagation in rock itself and it accumulates gradually in failure process. If it is possible to detect the small change in the rock slope, we can know the failure time exactly. Because the individual signal is gathered in the acoustic emission monitoring, it is possible to monitoring the slope if many sound signal is accumulated. Detection test of acoustic emission was performed. Uniaxial, two types of bending test, and two plane shear test were done with various cement paste sample. Wave propagation velocity of uniaxial test sample was increased with curing time. Wave Analysis give us the result that there is a AE sign signal before the failure, the AE count is suddenly increased. And frequency level 125kHz before failure is changed to level 200-250kHz after failure. In two plane shear test we can catch the AE signal and can know the failure type from wave shape. Monitoring test site is tunnel slope in Hongcheon but special signal is not collected.
