Constructing structures is the basic process requiring establishment of grounds. However, cracks due to sinking and distorting ground influence directly on the safety of structural health. Vibrating wire sensor measures the crack of structure by detecting the differences of wire tensions in analogue manner. In the previous production process, the tension is adjusted manually measuring the frequency of vibrating wire. Therefore, the accuracy of a sensor was depends on the skill level of labor. In this study, the automatic tension control and fixing devise is developed to enhance both accuracy and productivity. To evaluate the performance of the vibrating wire sensor, the nonlinearity of sensor is measured. The automatic tension control and fixing devise enhances the nonlinearity of the sensor from 0.398 to 0.056%. Therefore, the accuracy of the newly proposed method is successful.

본 논문에서는 구조물의 안전한 관리를 위하여 진동현방식 센서를 이용하여 변형을 측정하고 Zigbee 무선 네트워크를 통하여 원격 모니터링할 수 있는 시스템을 구현하였다. 구현한 변형측정기는 진동현방식 센서를 구동하여 출력되는 신호의 주파수를 측정하여 변형을 계산하고, 변형 측정에 있어 요구되는 온도 보상을 위한 온도를 측정한다. 2축 가속도센서를 이용하여 변형의 방향을 측정할 수 있다. 개발한 변형측정기에는 보다 효율적인 모니터링을 위하여 유무선 통신 기능이 있다. 실험을 통하여 개발한 진동현방식 변형측정 시스템이 원격모니터링에 효과적임을 확인한다.

사면 내에 설치된 억지말뚝의 보강효과를 평가하고, 사면의 가상 파괴면을 예측하기 위하여 지속적인 계측관리를 통한 사면의 거동을 감지할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 계측기를 통한 계측자료가 사면과 억지말뚝의 안정성 및 보강효과를 평가할 수 있는 자료로 활용될 수 있도록 하기 위한 것으로, 현장에 설치된 억지말뚝에 광섬유 센서(FBG 센서), V/W 및 경사계를 설치하여, 사면 내 억지말뚝의 거동분석을 하였다. 또한 각 계측기의 데이터를 비교 분석함으로써, 광섬유 센서와 같은 스마트 계측기술을 실제 토목 구조물에 활용할 수 있는 방안을 현장시험을 통해 검증하고자 한다. 이를 위해 각 계측기에서 구하여진, 연구 대상사면의 거동과 억지말뚝의 보강효과 및 변형률 분포의 상관관계를 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과, FBG 센서와 V/W 센서 및 경사계의 계측결과가 잘 일치하며, 억지말뚝에 의한 사면의 보강효과가 충분함을 알 수 있었다.

High performance concrete (HPC) has been extensively used in thin overlay for repair purpose due to its excellent strength and durability. This paper presents an experiment, where the sensor-instrumented HPC overlays have been followed by dynamic strain and moisture content monitoring for 1 year, under normal traffic. The vibrating wire and soil moisture sensors were embedded in overlay before construction. Four given HPC mixes (2 original mixes and their shrinkage-modified mixes) were used for overlays to contrast the strain and moisture results. A calibration method to accurately measure the moisture content for a given concrete mixture using soil moisture sensor was established. The monitoring results indicated that the modified mixes performed much better than the original mixes in shrinkage cracking control. Weather condition and concrete maturity at early age greatly affected the strain in concrete. The strain in HPC overlay was primarily in longitudinal direction, leading to transverse cracks. Additionally, the most moisture loss in concrete occurred at early age. Its rate was very dependent on weather. After one year, cracking survey was carried out by vision to verify the strain direction and no cracks observed in shrinkage modified mixes.

In civil engineering, revolving structures (RS) are a unique structural form applied in innovative architecture design. Such structures are able to revolve around themselves or along a certain track. However, few studies are dedicated to safety design or health monitoring of RS. In this paper, a wireless dynamic sensing system is developed for RS, and field tests toward a large revolving auditorium are conducted accordingly. At first, a wheel-rail problem is proposed: The internal force redistributes in RS, which is due to wheel-rail irregularity. Then the development of the sensing system for RS is presented. It includes system architecture, network organization, vibrating wire sensor (VWS) nodes and online remote control. To keep the sensor network identifiable during revolving, the addresses of sensor nodes are reassigned dynamically when RS position changes. At last, the system is mounted on a huge outdoor revolving auditorium. Considering the influence of the proposed problem, the RS of the auditorium has been designed conservatively. Two field tests are conducted via the sensing system. In the first test, 2000 people are invited to act as the live load. During the revolving process, data is collected from RS in three different load cases. The other test is the online monitoring for the auditorium during the official performances. In the end, the field-testing result verifies the existence of the wheel-rail problem. The result also indicates the dynamic sensing system is applicable and durable even while RS is rotating.
