In this study, we analyzed 82 dust damage dispute mediation cases over the past 5 years and evaluated cases where the probability of damage was verified through dust concentration measurement, modeling prediction, and chemical composition analysis. The cause of dust damage was a construction site, which accounted for most of the damage (97%), and was closely related to the distance from the construction site, total floor area of the construction site, and construction duration. Compensation was decided in only 33% of dust damage cases, and in only 6% (five cases) were damages determined using scientific techniques such as dust measurement, and forecasting. The main criteria for determining compensation were whether administrative measures were taken and evidence of damage in the form of videos and photos. In the future, measuring or model for the amount of dust damage is necessary to determine whether the limit has been exceeded and to revise the standard for calculating compensation through various lines of evidence of dust damage.

본 연구는 유한요소법과 고도화된 마이크로 유전알고리즘을 조합하여 자유 진동하는 박판 구조물에 대한 손상 규명을 다룬다. 조합된 방법에 의해 역 문제를 해결하기 위하여, 본 연구는 측정 데이터로서 구조물의 모드 형상 대신 몇 개의 고유진동수를 사용한다. 본 연구에서 제안한 방법은 손상된 요소를 탐지할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 손상의 개수, 위치 그리고 정도를 추정할 수 있다. 제안된 방법의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 알고리즘은 임의의 손상을 갖는 강으로 된 지유진동 박판 구조물을 대상으로 적용하였다. 기존의 단순 유전알고리즘에 비하여 본 연구에서 제안한 알고리즘은 수치적 효율성에서 큰 장점을 갖는다. 수치해석 예제들은 고유모드 대신 단지 몇 개의 고유진동수 값만으로도 마이크로 유전알고리즘은 박판의 손상을 정확히 규명할 수 있음을 보여준다.

교량에 통행하는 차량의 대형화와 통행교통량의 급격한 증가로 인하여 교량부재에서 피로손상이 많이 보고되고 있다. 교량부재의 피로손상을 방지하고, 안전을 유지하기 위해서 합리적인 피로조사를 실시하여야 한다. 교량의 피로설계에서는 차량 1대만 재하 시키는 방법을 채택하고 있으나, 실제 교량의 상부에 차량이 1대만 통과하는 일은 거의 없다. 통상 교량의 상부에는 복수의 차량이 동시에 재하되므로 합리적인 피로설계를 위해서는 동시재하의 영향을 고려하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 도로교를 통행하는 차륜하중에 대해 선형중첩법과 교통류의 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션에 의한 변동응력해석을 실시하고, 피로 손상도를 구함으로써 통행차량의 차축하중에 대한 동시재하의 영향에 대해 연구하였다.

The laboratory tests are performed on how the liquefaction potential of the sea dike structures on the saturated sand or silty sand seabed could be affected due to earthquake before and after construction results are given as follows ; 1. Earthquake damages to sea dike structures consist of lateral deformation, settlement, minor abnormality of the structures and differential settlement of embankments, etc. It is known that severe disasters due to this type of damages are not much documented. Because of its high relative cost of the preventive measures against this type of damages, the designing engineer has much freedom for the play of judgement and ingenuity in the selection of the construction methods, that is, by comparing the cost of the preventive design cost at a design stage to reconstruction cost after minor failure. 2. The factors controlling the liquefaction potential of the hydraulic fill structure are magnitude of earthquake(max. surface velocity), N-value(relative density), gradation, consistency(plastic limit), classification of soil(G & vs), ground water level, compaction method, volumetric shear stress and strain, effective confining stress, and primary consolidation. 3. The probability of liquefaction can be evaluated by the simple method based on SPT and CPT test results or the precise method based on laboratory test results. For sandy or silty sand seabed of the concerned area of this study, it is said that evaluation of liquefaction potential can be done by the one-dimensional analysis using some geotechnical parameters of soil such as Ip, Υt' gradation, N-value, OCR and classification of soils. 4. Based on above mentioned analysis, safety factor of liquefaction potential on the sea bed at the given site is Fs =0.84 when M = 5.23 or amax= 0.12g. With sea dike structures H = 42.5m and 35.5m on the same site Fs= 3.M~2.08 and Fs = 1.74~1.31 are obtained, respectively. local liquefaction can be expected at the toe of the sea dike constructed with hydraulic fill because of lack of constrained effective stress of the area.

Water-induced strength reduction is one of the most critical causes for rock deformation and failure. Understanding the effects of water on the strength, toughness and deformability of rocks are of a great importance in rock fracture mechanics and design of structures in rock. However, only a few studies have been conducted to understand the effects of water on fracture properties such as fracture toughness, crack propagation velocity, consumed energy, and microstructural damage. Thus, in this study, we focused on the understanding of how microscale damages induced by water saturation affect mesoscale mechanical and fracture properties compared with oven dried specimens along three notch orientations-divider, arrester, and short transverse. The mechanical properties of calcite-cemented sandstone were examined using standard uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and Brazilian tensile strength (BTS) tests. In addition, fracture properties such as fracture toughness, consumed energy and crack propagation velocity were examined with cracked chevron notched Brazilian disk (CCNBD) tests. Digital Image Correlation (DIC), a non-contact optical measurement technique, was used for both strain and crack propagation velocity measurements along the bedding plane orientations. Finally, environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) was employed to investigate the microstructural damages produced in calcite-cemented sandstone specimens before and after CCNBD tests. As results, both mechanical and fracture properties reduced significantly when specimens were saturated. The effects of water on fracture properties (fracture toughness and consumed energy) were predominant in divider specimens when compared with arrester and short transverse specimens. Whereas crack propagation velocity was faster in short transverse and slower in arrester, and intermediate in divider specimens. Based on ESEM data, water in the calcite-cemented sandstone induced microstructural damages (microcracks and voids) and increased the strength disparity between cement/matrix and rock forming mineral grains, which in turn reduced the crack propagation resistance of the rock, leading to lower both consumed energy and fracture toughness ($K_{IC}$).

Statistics show that while the number of fires has decreased over the last decade, losses of human life and economic property due to fire have increased. Moreover, the number of large-scale fires that have occurred in recent years has resulted in heightened public anxiety. This study aims to identify a specific period of the year most vulnerable to fire, and fire trends, such as damage of fire to humans, to the economy, and different building types. For this purpose, we analyzed human and economic damages using statistics related to fire from 2007 to 2017 and provided a monthly distribution of fire damages both to humans and to the economy by building type. We also identified the relationship between the human damage and the economy damage, and compared the economic losses per casualty by building type. The human damage in residential buildings occupied the highest portion, whereas the economic damage of industrial buildings represented more than a half of all economic damage due to fire. The economic damage per casualty was shown highest for industrial buildings and has also increased rapidly in recent years.

Structural damage identification (SDI) is a crucial step in structural health monitoring. However, some of the existing SDI methods cannot provide enough identification accuracy and efficiency in practice. A novel whale optimization algorithm (WOA) based method is proposed for SDI by weighting modal data and flexibility assurance criterion in this study. At first, the SDI problem is mathematically converted into a constrained optimization problem. Unlike traditional objective function defined using frequencies and mode shapes, a new objective function on the SDI problem is formulated by weighting both modal data and flexibility assurance criterion. Then, the WOA method, due to its good performance of fast convergence and global searching ability, is adopted to provide an accurate solution to the SDI problem, different predator mechanisms are formulated and their probability thresholds are selected. Finally, the performance of the proposed method is assessed by numerical simulations on a simply-supported beam and a 31-bar truss structures. For the given multiple structural damage conditions under environmental noises, the WOA-based SDI method can effectively locate structural damages and accurately estimate severities of damages. Compared with other optimization methods, such as particle swarm optimization and dragonfly algorithm, the proposed WOA-based method outperforms in accuracy and efficiency, which can provide a more effective and potential tool for the SDI problem.

Structures may need retrofitting as a result of design and calculation errors, lack of proper implementation, post-construction change in use, damages due to accidental loads, corrosion and changes introduced in new editions of construction codes. Retrofitting helps to compensate weakness and increase the service life. Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) is a modern material for retrofitting steel elements. This study aims to investigate the effect of deficiency location on the axial behavior of compressive elements of Circular Hollow Section (CHS) steel short columns. The deficiencies located vertically or horizontally at the middle or bottom of the element. A total of 43 control column and those with deficiencies were investigated in the ABAQUS software. Only 9 of them tested in the laboratory. The results indicated that the deficiencies had a significant effect on the increase in axial deformation, rupture in deficiency zone (local buckling), and decrease in ductility and bearing capacity. The damages of steel columns were responsible for resistance and stiffness drop at deficiency zone. Horizontal deficiency at the middle and vertical deficiency at the bottom of the steel columns were found to be the most critical. Using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) as the most effective material in retrofitting the damaged columns, significantly helped the increase in resistance and rupture control around the deficiency zone.

집중강우에 의해 주로 발생되는 절토사면 붕괴는 인적, 물적 피해를 초래한다. 한국건설기술연구원은 예방 수단으로서 위험사면을 집중관리하고 있다. 지속적인 사면관리에도 불구하고 지구환경의 변화로 절토사면의 붕괴발생 빈도는 점차적으로 증가하고 있다. 이에 대책공법 적용이 어려운 절토사면에 대하여 상시계측시스템을 설치하고 있다. 상시계측시스템의 운용은 대인 대물 피해에 대한 조치로서 활용될 수 있으나, 강우시 절토사면의 붕괴 징후를 인지하더라도 관리자가 현장관리 작업을 수행함에 있어서 시공간적 제약으로 인한 한계가 있다. 낙석신호등은 상시계측시스템을 통하여 사면 위험 징후가 발견될 시, 도로이용자에게 낙석발생에 대한 위험을 주지시키고, 붕괴시 도로관리자의 현장 도착 전까지 자동적으로 또는 수동적으로 도로를 차단시킴으로서 사면붕괴에 의한 피해를 예방하는 관리시스템의 일종이다.

건설현장에서 발생하는 소음으로 인하여 많은 사람들이 고통을 겪고 있고, 그로 인하여 민원과 분쟁이 증가하고 있다. 이러한 민원은 사업의 지연 및 중단, 배상액 지불과 같은 시간적, 경제적 손실을 초래하므로 엄격하게 관리되어야 한다. 이와 같은 추세에 따라 정부는 기존 방음벽 중심의 소음정책에서 탈피하여 발생원 중심으로 소음을 관리하기 위해 노력하고 있다. 그러나 건설소음은 일시적이고, 불규칙적으로 발생하며, 건설장비 자체의 소음레벨이 높기 때문에 쉽게 제어되기 어렵다. 또한 최근 선진국을 중심으로 사람들에게 쉽게 인지되지는 않지만, 고주파 소음과 마찬가지로 인체에 정신적, 신체적 피해를 주는 저주파 소음에 대한 연구를 활발히 진행하고 있다. 그러나 기존의 수동적인 소음관리방식으로는 고주파 소음을 저감하는데 효과가 있을 뿐, 저주파 소음을 저감하는데는 한계가 있다. 그러므로 본 연구는 건설현장에서 발생하는 소음을 저감하고, 기존의 수동적인 소음관리방식의 한계점을 보완하기 위한 방법으로 능동소음제어를 이용하여 건설현장에서 발생하는 소음을 저감하기 위한 관리모델을 제안하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위하여 시뮬레이션 실험을 수행하였고, 능동소음제어의 건설현장 적용성을 검토하였다. 본 논문은 능동소음제어를 통하여 건설현장에서 발생하는 소음을 저감하고, 소음피해로 인한 민원과 분쟁을 최소화하는데 일조할 수 있을 것이라 기대한다.
