Currently rebar spacing inspection is carried out by human inspectors who heavily rely on their individual experience, lacking a guarantee of objectivity and accuracy in the inspection process. In addition, if incorrectly placed rebars are identified, the inspector need to correct them. Recently, laser scanning and AR technologies have been widely used because of their merits of measurement accuracy and visualization. This study proposes a technology for rebar spacing inspection and fixing by combining laser scanning and AR technology. First, scan data acquisition of rebar layers is performed and the raw scan data is processed. Second, AR-based visualization and fixing are performed by comparing the design model with the model generated from the scan data. To verify the developed technique, performance comparison test is conducted by comparing with existing drawing-based method in terms of inspection time, error detection rate, cognitive load, and situational awareness ability. It is found from the result of the experiment that the AR-based rebar inspection and fixing technology is faster than the drawing-based method, but there was no significant difference between the two groups in error identification rate, cognitive load, and situational awareness ability. Based on the experimental results, the proposed AR-based rebar spacing inspection and fixing technology is expected to be highly useful throughout the construction industry.

Reinforcement steel fixing is a skilled and manually intensive construction trade. Current practice for the quality assessment of reinforcement steel fixing is normally performed by fabricators and has high potential in having errors due to the tedious nature of the work. In order to overcome the current inspection limitation, this study presents an approach that provides visual assistance and inspection enhancement for inspectors to assess the dimensional layout of reinforcement steel fixing. To this end, this study aims to establish an end-to-end framework for rebar layout quality inspection using laser scanning and Augmented Reality (AR). The proposed framework is composed of three parts: (1) the laser-scanned rebar data processing; (2) the rebar inspection procedure integrating with AR; and (3) the checking and fixing the rebar layout through AR visualization. In order to investigate the feasibility of the proposed framework, a case study assessing the rebar layout of a lab-scaled formwork containing two rebar layers is conducted. The results of the case studies demonstrate that the proposed approach using laser scanning and AR has the potential to produce an intuitive and accurate quality assessment for the rebar layout.

The rebar factory production process involves the repetitive bending of rebars. Therefore, the fatigue failure of the rebar bending machine needs to be considered. In this paper, fatigue analysis of the rebar machine was performed using the commercial software DAFUL, which is based on MFBD (Multi Flexible Body Dynamics). The rotating roller, fixing roller and rebar were modeled by the finite element method. The rebar bending process is simulated and the mechanical stresses on the rollers are calculated. Structural analysis of the rebar bending roller was performed using the maximum bending angle of $180^{\circ}$ and maximum processing rebar diameter of ${\Phi}19mm$. Then, for fatigue analysis, the S-N curve of STD-11 was. The fatigue life of rollers is estimated by modified Goodman diagram. The fatigue life range of the rotating roller is $2.99961{\times}10^5{\sim}1{\times}10^8$ while that of the fixed roller is $2.53142{\times}10^5{\sim}1{\times}10^8$. STD-11 has an infinite life cycle after $1{\times}10^8$. Therefore, the rollers of the rebar bending machine may be expected to suffer fatigue failure. Thus, we performed a parameter study of fatigue life according to various axial radii of the fixed roller and rotating roller, and redesign of the rebar bending machine. Consequently, the axial radius of the fixed roller and rotating roller was found to be 35~37.5mm and 30~35mm, respectively, and an infinite life cycle was confirmed at these.

This study analyzed working postures using the Ovako Working Posture Analysis System (OWAS) to improve work clothes for construction workers. A video taken at a construction work site was stopped at regular intervals and the postures of relevant body parts proposed by OWAS was recorded. Additionally, based on analysis of the working postures code, the level of work action for each postures was classified from stage I to IV. General workers frequently straightened or bent forward at the waist, and used their legs to stand, bend, or walk. Wood workers moved extensively from the waist, keeping their legs relatively straight and their arms held below their shoulders, repeatedly tapping with a hammer weighing less than 10.0kg. Rebar bending workers mainly bent forward at the waist, with both legs bent or standing with one leg bent. Rebar transport and fixing workers walked with the waist straight, and occasionally one or both hands held above the shoulders. Their work also involved holding a hook, which weigh less than 10.0kg, in their hands, and the difficult task of lifting and placing long rebars, which weigh from 10.0 to 20.0kg or more. Concrete pouring workers bent or twisted their back to the side. Therefore, this study suggests that design goals should be different when developing workwear for each type of worker.

일반적으로 크리트 구조물의 열화를 발생하는 가장 중요한 원인은 탄산화와 염소이온이다. 대체적으로 많은 콘크리트 구조물에서 탄산화와 염소이온으로 인하여 철근이 부식되며 이에 대한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 특히, 최근에는 보수용으로서 콘크리트 보호용 표면피복재에 방청제를 함침시켜, 염화물을 포함하고 있는 콘크리트 내 철근의 부식을 억제하는 공법도 개발되어지고 있다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 기존 보수재료 보다 부식 억제가 우수하고 열화원인인 $CO_2$ 와 $Cl^-$를 고정하는 유기계방청제를 혼입한 표면피복재의 특성 평가를 위해 촉진탄산화 및 시차 열 중량분석(TG-DTA), CASS시험를 실시하여 특성을 실험적으로 평가하였다. 실험 결과, TG-DTA 분석과 촉진탄산화를 통하여 유기계방청제 혼입으로 시멘트 콘크리트에 $CO_2$가 아민유도체와 직접적으로 반응하여 탈 양성자화 되면서 산성상태의 물질을 생성하여 안정화된 상태, 즉 $CO_2$가 고정화되어 탄산화 억제효과가 있음을 확인 하였다. 또한, CASS실험에서도, $Cl^-$ 고정 특성이 있는 유기계 방청제가 혼입된 표면피복재를 도포한 시험체의 경우, 28일째까지도 적청 발생이 관찰되지 않았으며 염화물에 의한 철근 부식을 방지하는데 우수한 성능으로 가지고 있음을 확인하였다.

철근콘크리트 구조물의 장수명화가 대두됨에 따라 내구성 문제에 대한 중요성이 증대되고 있다. 이에 대해 본 연구에서는 $Mg(OH)_2$를 혼입한 시멘트 페이스트의 탄산화 저항성에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. $Mg(OH)_2$가 $CO_2$의 고정 재료로서 5%, 10%, 15%의 비율로 $Mg(OH)_2$를 보통 시멘트 페이스트에 치환하여 $CO_2$ 농도 20%, 상대습도 60%, 온도 $20^{\circ}C$의 환경에서 양생 시킨 3, 7, 14, 28일 후에 탄산화 깊이 측정, 압축강도 측정, XRD, TG/DTA, MIP과 SEM등을 통해 샘플의 특성에 대해 연구를 진행했다. 그 결과, $Mg(OH)_2$의 혼입률이 증가할수록 탄산화 깊이가 더 작아지며 $Mg(OH)_2$ 혼입한 페이스트는 Magnesium calcite가 형성되어, $0.3{\mu}m$ 이하의 공극 비율이 높아 탄산화 저항성이 더 높아지는 것을 알 수 있었다.
