Abstract
Recently, there is an increasing need for researchers in engineering to share the result of the experiment without having to visit the experiment facilities. Especially in the civil engineering, researchers feel the need for participating in a number of experiments conducted at distant places. In addition, it has been suggested that high-cost facilities should be used by remote researchers for the high utilization rate. This paper proposes a remote experiment environment in civil engineering that are being developed in a project called Korea Construction Engineering Development(KOCED), which connects major civil engineering experiment facilities using grid technology. This environment enables researchers to participate in a remote experiment, and allows the experiment results shared by remote researchers automatically. Then, based on the suggested environment, we designed a hybrid test facility that involves two physical experiment facility sites and one numerical simulation site that are geographically apart. Then, we implemented its prototype and ran some tests, which showed a possibility of grid-based civil engineering experiment.
