Dynamic measurements are used rather sparingly to determine the elastic moduli of rock cores and modulus values are not much utilized in design practices. The reason seems to result from the general perception that values obtained by dynamic measurement are much higher (about 10 time) than those determined statically. This paper presents results from dynamic and static tests on rock cores. One of the findings is that both moduli determined by statically and dynamically on a solid rock core agrees well at the same-strain. At different strain levels, the ratio between dynamic and static modult widely varies depending upon micro-cracks and discontinuites of rock cores.

In this paper the application of the Interpolation Damage Detection Method to the numerical model of a suspension bridge instrumented with a network of Micro-Electro-Mechanical System sensors is presented. The method, which, in its present formulation, belongs to Level II damage identification method, can identify the presence and the location of damage from responses recorded on the structure before and after a seismic damaging event. The application of the method does not require knowledge of the modal properties of the structure nor a numerical model of it. Emphasis is placed herein on the influence of recorded signals noise on the reliability of the results given by the Interpolation Damage Detection Method. The response of a suspension bridge to seismic excitation is computed from a numerical model and artificially corrupted with random noise characteristic of two families of Micro-Electro-Mechanical System accelerometers. The reliability of the results is checked for different damage scenarios.

A sophisticated story-wise stiffness identification method for a shear building structure is applied to the case where the shear building is subjected to an actual micro-tremor. While the building responses to earthquake ground motions are necessary in the previous method, it is shown that micro-tremors can be used for identification within the same framework. This enhances the extended usability and practicality of the previously proposed identification method. The difficulty arising in the limit manipulation at zero frequency in the previous method is overcome by introducing an ARX model. The weakness of small SN ratios in the low frequency range is avoided by using the ARX model together with filtering and introducing new constraints on the ARX parameters.

Wireless sensors are more favorable in measuring structural response compared to conventional sensors in terms of them being easier to use with no issues with cables and them being considerably cheaper. Previous tests have been conducted to analyze the performance of MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) sensor in sinusoidal excitation tests. This paper analyzes the performance of in-built MEMS sensors in devices by comparing with an ICP sensor as the reference. Earthquake input amplitude excitation in shaking table tests was done. Results show that MEMS sensors are more accurate in measuring higher input amplitude measurements which range from 100gal to 250gal than at lower input amplitudes which range from 10gal to 50gal. This confirms the results obtained in previous sinusoidal tests. It was also seen that natural frequency results have lower error values which range from 0% to 3.92% in comparison to the response spectra results. This also confirms that in-built MEMS sensors in mobile devices are good at estimating natural frequency of structures. In addition, it was also seen that earthquake input amplitudes with more frequency contents (Gyeongju) had considerably higher error values than Pohang excitation tests which has less frequency contents.

기존의 지진파 분류 특징은 강진에 초점이 맞추어져 있어서 미소지진과 같은 지진파는 다소 적합하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 강진과 더불어 미소지진, 인공지진, 잡음 분류에 적합한 특징 추출을 위해 주파수-시간 공간 내에서 히스토그램과 주성분 기반 특징 추출방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 지진파의 주파수 관련 정보와 시간 관련 정보를 결합하는 방법을 적용한 히스토그램 기반 특징 추출방법과 주성분 기반 특징 추출방법을 이용하여 지진(강진, 미소지진, 인공지진)과 잡음, 미소지진과 잡음, 미소지진과 인공지진을 이진 분류한다. 2017년~2018년 최근 국내지진 자료와 분류 성능을 토대로 제안한 특징 추출방식의 효용성을 비교 평가한다.

In this study, the fiber orientation distribution (FOD) is investigated using both micro-CT (computerized tomography) and image analysis of physically cut specimens prepared from Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) fiber reinforced cemented Toyoura sand. The micro-CT images of the fiber reinforced cemented sand specimens were visualized in horizontal and vertical sections. Scans were obtained using a frame rate of two frames and an exposure time of 500 milliseconds. The number of images was set to optimize and typically resulted in approximately 3000 images. Then, the angles of the fibers for horizontal sections and in vertical section were calculated using the VGStudio MAX software. The number of fibers intersecting horizontal and vertical sections are counted using these images. A similar approach was used for physically cut specimens. The variation of results of fiber orientation between micro-CT scans and visual count were approximately 4-8%. The micro-CT scans were able to precisely investigate the fiber orientation distribution of fibers in these samples. The results show that 85-90% of the PVA fibers are oriented between ±30° of horizontal, and approximately 95% of fibers have an orientation that lies within ±45° of the horizontal plane. Finally, a comparison of experimental results with the generalized fiber orientation distribution function 𝜌(θ) is presented for isotropic and anisotropic distribution in fiber reinforced cemented Toyoura sand specimens. Experimentally, it can be seen that the average ratio of the number of fibers intersecting the finite area on a vertical plane to number of fibers intersecting the finite area on a horizontal plane (N^V_tot/N^H_tot) cut through a sample varies from 2.08 to 2.12 (an average ratio of 2.10 is obtained in this study). Based up on the analytical predictions, it can be seen that the average N^V_tot/N^H_tot ratio varies from 2.13 to 2.17 for varying n values (an average ratio of 2.15).

구조물은 지진, 풍랑 등과 같은 외부의 충격에 대해서 노출되어 있기 때문에 대규모의 피해가능성이 항상 존재한다. 이러한 외부에 대한 충격흡수 장치는 여러 가지가 있다. 이러한 기구 중에서 널리 사용되고 있는 것이 기계적 에너지를 소산시키는 유압 감쇠기이다 본 논문에서는 유압 감쇠기의 단점을 보완하고 보다 효율이 높은 감쇠기를 나노기술을 응용하여 새로운 감쇠기에 대한 기초적 이론연구를 하였다. 새로운 감쇠기는 내부에 점성 유체 대신에 무기재료의 입자를 유체와 혼합하여 사용하였고 오리피스를 생략함으로 해서 보다 간단한 구조로 설계하였다. 나노 단위 기공에서의 유동 현상을 설명하기 위해서는 기존의 유체역학에 대한 지배방정식 및 가설들이 더 이상 적용이 되지 않는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 지금까지 명확하게 규명되지 않았던 감쇠기의 열 발생, 나노 유동, 그리고 에너지 소산에 대한 이론적 해석을 수행하였다. 그리고 다공 입자 구조에 따른 에너지 소산에 대한 영향을 모델링하여 조사하였다. 감쇠 효과를 검토하기 위해 기존의 유압 감쇠기와 에너지 소산효율을 비교하였다. 또한 감쇠 효율을 수치적인 해석결과와 실험 결과를 서로 비교하여 검토하였다.

Small-scale models have been frequently used for experimental evaluation of seismic performance because of limited testing facilities and economic reasons. However, there are not enough studies on similitude law for analogizing prototype structures accurately with small-scale models, although conventional similitude law based on geometry is not well consistent in the inelastic seismic behavior. When fabricating prototype and small-scale model of reinforced concrete structures by using the same material, added mass is demanded from a volumetric change and scale factor could be limited due to size of aggregate. Therefore, it is desirable that different material is used for small-scale models. Thus, a modified similitude law could be derived depending on geometric scale factor and equivalent modulus ratio. In this study, compressive strength tests are conducted to analyze equivalent modulus ratio of micro-concrete to normal-concrete. Equivalent modulus ratios are divided into elastic, weak nonlinear and strong nonlinear phases, which are based on ultimate strain level. Therefore, an algorithm adaptable to the pseudodynamic test, considering equivalent three phase similitude law based on seismic damage levels, is developed. In addition, prior to tile experiment, it is verified numerically if tile algorithm is applicable to the pseudodynamic test.

A bio-inspired two-mode structural health monitoring (SHM) system based on the Na$\ddot{i}$ve Bayes (NB) classification method is discussed in this paper. To implement the molecular biology based Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) array concept in structural health monitoring, which has been demonstrated to be superior in disease detection, two types of array expression data have been proposed for the development of the SHM algorithm. For the micro-vibration mode, a two-tier auto-regression with exogenous (AR-ARX) process is used to extract the expression array from the recorded structural time history while an ARX process is applied for the analysis of the earthquake mode. The health condition of the structure is then determined using the NB classification method. In addition, the union concept in probability is used to improve the accuracy of the system. To verify the performance and reliability of the SHM algorithm, a downscaled eight-storey steel building located at the shaking table of the National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering (NCREE) was used as the benchmark structure. The structural response from different damage levels and locations was collected and incorporated in the database to aid the structural health monitoring process. Preliminary verification has demonstrated that the structure health condition can be precisely detected by the proposed algorithm. To implement the developed SHM system in a practical application, a SHM prototype consisting of the input sensing module, the transmission module, and the SHM platform was developed. The vibration data were first measured by the deployed sensor, and subsequently the SHM mode corresponding to the desired excitation is chosen automatically to quickly evaluate the health condition of the structure. Test results from the ambient vibration and shaking table test showed that the condition and location of the benchmark structure damage can be successfully detected by the proposed SHM prototype system, and the information is instantaneously transmitted to a remote server to facilitate real-time monitoring. Implementing the bio-inspired two-mode SHM practically has been successfully demonstrated.
