About the Lab
Professor Sanghoon Han's research lab specializes in sustainable and durable construction materials, with a strong focus on self-healing concrete, chloride-induced corrosion in reinforced concrete, and advanced structural systems for marine and underwater infrastructure. The lab investigates the durability and mechanical performance of concrete incorporating supplementary cementitious materials, particularly under aggressive environmental conditions such as marine exposure. It also develops innovative structural solutions—such as submerged floating tunnels and unmanned underwater inspection systems—for aging harbor and coastal structures, emphasizing safety, longevity, and cost-effective maintenance.

13In this study the properties of self-flowing concrete, in which flow was >600 mm, containing fly ash were experimentally investigated and compared with those of ordinary concrete. For five types of self-flowing concrete mixtures and three types of ordinary concrete mixtures several tests, such as flow test, slump test, O-funnel test, box test, L type test, and setting time test, were carried out to obtain the properties for flowability and workability of fresh concrete. The mechanical properties
Motor Imagery (MI) is a critical topic in Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). Due to the low signal-to-noise ratio, it is not easy to accurately classify motor imagery signals, especially for multiple classification tasks. Common Spatial Pattern (CSP) is a spatial transformation method that can effectively extract spatial features of EEG signals. However, the covariance matrix is inaccurate due to the small training data size,. Thus, in this paper, a regularization parameter auto-selection algorithm
Due to the uncertainty of variables in durability model, the probabilistic approach is increasing. Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) is an easily accessible method, but requires a lot of repeated operations. This paper evaluated the effectiveness of First Order Second Moment method (FOSM), which is more convenient and time saving method than MCS, to predict the corrosion initiation in harbor concrete structure. Mean Value First Order Second Moment method (MV FOSM) and Advanced First Order Second Mome
In Korea, the old harbor facilities are increasing. Thus, damages of the structures are easily induced due to unexpected accidents such as natural disasters. These damages of the structures can be reduced by the continuous maintenance of the facilities. A project in Korea recently commenced to develop and make practicable unmanned inspection equipment for underwater damages of harbor structures to increase the work effectiveness and human safety in underwater. Also, it can reduce the continuous
본 연구에서는 초기 균열을 도입한 철근콘크리트 부재에 대한 침지 염화물 침투 실험을 수행하였다. 염화물 확산 특성과 임계 균열폭을 비교하였으며, 콘크리트 자기복원 특성을 검토하였다. 실험결과에 따르면, 표면 균열폭이 증가할수록 염화물 침투저항성이 크게 감소하였으며, 광물질 혼화재를 사용할 경우, 비균열 부재의 염화물 침투저항성은 크게 개선되었지만, 고로슬래그 및 플라이애쉬 혼화재를 사용할 경우에 균열이 발생하게 되면 도리어 염화물 침투저항성은 보통 콘크리트에 비해 크게 저하하였다. 임계 균열폭은 침지 염화물 침투 실험 결과 평균 <TEX>$29{\mu}m$</TEX>으로 측정되었다. 자기복원 현상에 의해 <TEX>$4{\sim}15{\mu}m$</TEX> 범위의 균열이 복원되었다. 그러나 콘크리트 자기복원 현상에 의해 시각적으로 복원된 부분의 염화물 침투 저항성은 완전히 회복되지 않았다. In this study, the chloride penetration tests were pe
A submerged floating tunnel (SFT) has been considered as an interesting structure to connect the banks separated by a narrow and deep sea. Governing load of a SFT is bending moment, a structure with enhanced stiffness and ductility will be useful for a SFT. Therefore, new-type structures which have superior stiffness and ductility were proposed for the SFT using composite Hollow RC structure. The cast-in-place concrete can’t apply for construction, because SFT will be constructed underwater. For
본 연구의 목적은 하천과 호소로 유입되는 비점오염을 저감하기 위해 자연형 하천조성기술 중에서 활용성이 증가되고 있는 식생 매트에 충진재를 적용하여 수질정화기능을 향상하는데 있다. 본 연구에서는 우수한 충진재 선별을 위하여 제올라이트, 규조토 그리고 이들을 혼합하여 소성한 발포여재에 대한 수질정화기능 실내 평가실험과 제방사면조건에서 강우 유출수를 대상으로 한 식생 매트의 수질정화능 검증 현장실험을 진행하였다. 충진재별 수질정화기능은 발포여재가 SS 46.3%, T-N 29.9%, T-P 33.3%로서 다른 충진재보다 수질정화기능이 우수하였다. 식생 매트의 현장 실험에서는 수질정화능은 SS가 60.1%, T-N이 32.2%, T-P가 20.2%으로서 식생 매트의 우수한 오염저감 능력을 확인할 수 있었다. The purpose of this study was to develop water-purification vegetation mats consisting of the eco-frien
국가 간 교류 급증 및 이상기후현상으로 인해 새로운 교통기반시설 확보에 대한 관심이 증대되면서 해중터널에 관한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 하지만 이는 전 세계적으로 거의 초기 단계이며, 특히 재해로부터 안전을 도모하기 위한 다양한 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 해중터널의 구조 성능 평가 중에 화재가 발생하였을 경우에 화재열이 해중터널에 미치는 영향성을 분석하고자 한다. 해중터널의 해석 대상 모델은 강합성 중공 RC 해중터널을 대상으로 해석을 수행하였으며, 다양한 화재가 발생하였을 경우에 화재열이 해중 터널 구조에 미치는 영향에 대해서 해석적으로 분석하였고, 또한 이를 방지할 수 있는 방지 기법을 해석적으로 검토하였다. The research is being conducted on a SFT (Submerged Floating Tunnel), because of increased exchange among nations and abnormal weather-disasters an
There are many old harbor facilities in Korea. They are exposed to external damages such as natural disasters, unexpected impacts and so on. These damages can lead the structural function degrade of their facilities. These problems can be overcome by continuous inspection and maintenance. Land side of port structures is executed inspection and maintenance easily with various developed equipment already. On the other hand, submerged side of them is inspected by divers generally.
