Steel cables serve as the key structural components in long-span bridges, and the force state of the steel cable is deemed to be one of the most important determinant factors representing the safety condition of bridge structures. The disadvantages of traditional cable force measurement methods have been envisaged and development of an effective alternative is still desired. In the last decade, the vision-based sensing technology has been rapidly developed and broadly applied in the field of structural health monitoring (SHM). With the aid of vision-based multi-point structural displacement measurement method, monitoring of the tensile force of the steel cable can be realized. In this paper, a novel cable force monitoring system integrated with a multi-point pattern matching algorithm is developed. The feasibility and accuracy of the developed vision-based force monitoring system has been validated by conducting the uniaxial tensile tests of steel bars, steel wire ropes, and parallel strand cables on a universal testing machine (UTM) as well as a series of moving loading experiments on a scale arch bridge model. The comparative study of the experimental outcomes indicates that the results obtained by the vision-based system are consistent with those measured by the traditional method for cable force measurement.

Steel fiber reinforced concrete can improve the resistance to cracking by adding steel fibers when mixing concrete. It can reduce the temperature and shrinkage cracks, and its flexural performance can be improved by increasing the effective moment of inertia. In this study, the deck-plate was used to replace the concrete form and reinforcing bars, and the steel fiber reinforced concrete was used to control the shrinkage and temperature cracks, and improve the flexural performance of the slab. Total 9 slab specimens were tested for analyzing the structural performance and serviceability. As a results, flexural capacity of the slab with deck-plate was evaluated to be superior to that of the normal reinforced concrete slab specimens with the same tensile reinforcement. The steel fiber reinforced concrete was found to have about 8% flexural capacity increase depending on the steel fiber content $15.7kg/m^3$. Also, in terms of flexural stiffness, the specimens using steel fiber reinforced concrete for the same parameters were evaluated to have a stiffness increase of about 30% compared with the case of using ordinary concrete. Especially, it was found that the stiffness of the test results was significantly higher than the analytical result because the increase of the tensile strength of the steel fiber reinforced concrete is not reflected in the current structural code.

Concrete cracking due to brittle tension strength significantly prevents fully utilization of the materials for "flexural-shear failure" type shear walls. Theoretical and experimental studies applying fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) have achieved fruitful results in improving the seismic performance of "flexural-shear failure" reinforced concrete shear walls. To come to an understanding of an optimal design strategy and find common performance prediction method for design methodology in terms to FRC shear walls, seismic performance on shear walls with PVA and steel FRC at edge columns and plastic region are compared in this study. The seismic behavior including damage mode, lateral bearing capacity, deformation capacity, and energy dissipation capacity are analyzed on different fiber reinforcing strategies. The experimental comparison realized that the lateral strength and deformation capacity are significantly improved for the shear walls with PVA and steel FRC in the plastic region and PVA FRC in the edge columns; PVA FRC improves both in tensile crack prevention and shear tolerance while steel FRC shows enhancement mainly in shear resistance. Moreover, the tensile strength of the FRC are suggested to be considered, and the steel bars in the tension edge reaches the ultimate strength for the confinement of the FRC in the yield and maximum lateral bearing capacity prediction comparing with the model specified in provisions.

철근부식은 철근콘크리트 구조물의 내구수명을 현저히 저하시키며, 유지보수 비용의 증가를 가져온다. 이와 같은 문제의 해결을 위해 피복두께의 증가, 고성능콘크리트의 사용, 에폭시 코팅 철근의 사용 등이 연구되었으나 완전한 해결책은 되지 못하고 있다. 최근 철근부식 문제를 근본적으로 해결하기 위한 새로운 대안으로 대두되고 있는 것이 FRP (fiber reinforced polymer) 복합재료를 이용한 철근대체제의 사용이다. 그러나 취성적 거동과 낮은 탄성계수로 인하여 철근콘크리트와는 다른 거동을 보이며 이에 대한 많은 연구가 필요한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 FRP 보강근을 사용한 일방향 슬래브의 구조 실험을 통하여 철근콘크리트 슬래브와 거동 특성을 비교하였다. 균열 및 파괴모드, 처짐, 연성 등의 평가를 통하여 철근 대체제로서의 가능성을 평가하였으며, 해외의 제안식들을 사용하여 처짐 및 균열예측에 대한 식의 적정성을 평가하였다.

현재 국내에서는 급속한 근대화 과정 중에서 시공시부터 부실하게 건설된 콘크리트 구조물의 사용기간이 짧아짐에 따라 구조물의 노후화가 심각하게 진행되고 있는 실정이다. 특히, 교량의 경우에는 교통량과 교통하중의 증가 등으로 인한 손상이 가속화되어 교량의 안전성에 심각한 문제가 발생되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트의 부재가 균열에 의해 박리ㆍ탈락되었다고 가정한 후, 인장하단에서 8cm까지 폴리머 시멘트 페이스트로 보수한 후 강연선을 이용하여 보강한 시험체, 에폭시 주입공법으로 균열을 보수한 후, 탄소섬유쉬트를 사용하여 보강한 시험체와 표준시험체 등 8개의 보를 제작하였다. 시험체의 제원은 단면 15$\times$25 cm 지간길이 200cm, 총길이 220cm이고, 강연선의 긴장량과 탄소섬유쉬트의 보강겹수을 실험변수를 선택하여 휨 실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과 폴리머 시멘트 페이스트와 포스트 강연선을 이용한 시험체와 탄소섬유쉬트 보강시험체는 표준시험체보다 상당히 큰 보강효과를 보였다. 탄소섬유쉬트 보강시험체는 1겹으로 보강할 경우에 보강재의 지간 중앙의 인장파단이 발생되어 보강효율이 가장 높았으며 보강겹수가 감소할수록 취성적인 파괴가 발생되어 보강성능이 저하되었다. 그러나, 강연선을 이용한 시험체는 긴장량이 증가할수록 보강효과가 선형적으로 증가하여 어느 정도까지는 상당히 큰 보강효과를 나타내었다.

The friction welding has more technical and economic advantages than the other welding processes. As this welding process has the characteristics such as curtailment of production time, materials, cost reduction, etc., it has been widely used in production of various mechanical components which have complex shapes. So, this paper deals with optimizing the friction welding conditions and analyzing various mechanical properties of the friction welded joints of torsion bar material SUP9A bar to bar. The results obtained are summarized as follows; 1) The quantitative relation between heating time($t_{1}$, sec) and total upset(U, mm)can be obtained. The empirical formula obtained is ; U = 3.29$t_{1}$ + 1.6 2) The tensile strength($\sigma_{t}$, kgf/$mm^{2}$) of friction welding joints as post weld heat treated(PWHT) depends upon heating time($t_{1}$, sec) quantitatively and the empirical formula obtained is ; $\sigma$= -5.1$t_{1}\;^{2}$+44.90$t_{1}$+45.2 3) It is certain that the optimum condition for friction welded joints of SUP9A steel bars of diameter 14.5mm is, considering on various properties such as tensile strength, torsional strength, impact energy and strain of the joints after PWTH ; n = 2000rpm, $P_{1}$=8kgf/$mm^{2}$, $P_{2}$=20kgf/$mm^{2}$, $t_{1}$=4sec, $t_{2}$=3sec 4) The tensile strength, torsional strength and hardness were increased with the increased with the increasing carbon equivalent, but toughness was decreased.

In this paper, friction welded joints were constructed to investigate the mechanical properties of welded 15-mm diameter solid bars of Mg alloy (AZ31B). The main friction welding parameters were selected to endure reliable quality welds on the basis of visual examination, tensile tests, impact energy test, Vickers hardness surveys of the bonds in the area and heat affected zone (HAZ), and macrostructure investigations. The study reached the following conclusions. The tensile strength of the friction welded materials (271 MPa) was increased to about 100% of the AZ31B base metal (274 MPa) under the condition of a heating time of 1 s. The metal loss increased lineally with an increase in the heating time. The following optimal friction welding conditions were determined: rotating speed (n) = 2000 rpm, heating pressure (HP) = 35 MPa, upsetting pressure (UP) = 70 MPa, heating time (HT) = 1 s, and upsetting time (UT) = 5 s, for a metal loss (Mo) of 10.2 mm. The hardness distribution of the base metal (BM) showed HV55. All of the BM parts showed levels of hardness that were approximately similar to friction welded materials. The weld interface of the friction welded parts was strongly mixed, which showed a well-combined structure of macro-particles without particle growth or any defects. In addition, an acoustic emission (AE) technique was applied to derive the optimum condition for friction welding the Mg alloy nondestructively. The AE count and energy parameters were useful for evaluating the relationship between the tensile strength and AE parameters based on the friction welding conditions.

The effect of various types of heat-treatment on the mechanical properties of cast Alloy 718 has been investigated. Cast Alloy 718 bars were subjected to 'standard heat-treatment'_(SHT), 'HIP (Hot Isostatic Pressing) heat-treatment'_(HHT), and 'HIP-simulated heat-treatment'_(HS). In the absence of long time high temperature heat-treatment, a small amount of Laves phase remained in the 'SHT' specimen, and needle shaped ${\delta}$ precipitated in the vicinity of the Laves phase. Due to the formation of the Laves and ${\delta}$ phases in the 'SHT' specimen, it exhibited lower tensile properties than those of the others_specimens. On the other hand, the Laves phase was completely dissolved into the matrix after 'HHT' and 'HS' treatments. It is known that isostatic pressure reduces the self-diffusion coefficient, because of the lower self-diffusivity under HIP conditions in the interdendritic region, Nb segregation and the high amount of ${\gamma}^{{\prime}{\prime}}$ precipitation that occurs. Due to the higher fraction of coarse ${\gamma}^{{\prime}{\prime}}$ phases, the 'HHT' treated Alloy 718 showed excellent tensile strength.

구조물이 초고층화, 대형화 되어감에 따라 철근의 이음방법에 대한 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 현재 일반적으로 건설현장에서는 겹이음을 많이 사용하고 있으나 굵은 직경을 사용한 구조부재의 경우 겹이음 사용 시 피복두께 확보의 어려움으로 부착파괴 및 접합부의 복잡한 배근으로 인한 콘크리트 타설의 시공성 저하 등이 문제가 되고 있다. 또한 압접이음은 철근의 단부를 국부적으로 가열하여 접합하는 방식으로 압접 후 철근의 취약부분이 발생할 수 있으므로 시공현장에서의 철저한 품질관리가 요구되는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 해결하고자 새로운 개념의 Up-set Coupler를 적용하였다. 본 연구에서는 기계적 이음방법 중 철근 선조립공법이나 고강도, 대직경의 철근을 사용하는 PSC구조물의 접합부에서 주로 사용되는 대표적인 이음방법인 Screw Coupler와 Up-set Coupler, 그리고 이음이 없는 철근을 사용하여 각각의 인장특성과 사용성을 실험적으로 연구하고자 한다.
