Abstract

This study was intend to develop the optimal design method of suspension bridge by the reliability analysis based on minimization of life cycle cost(LCC). The reliability analysis was performed considering aleatory uncertainties included in the result of numerical analysis. The optimal design was estimated based on life-cycle cost analysis depending on the result of reliability analysis. As the effect of epistemic uncertainty, the safety index (beta), failure probability (pf) and minimum life cycle cost were random variables. The high-level distributions were generated, from which the critical percentile values were obtained for a conservative bridge design through sensitivity assessment.

본 연구는 구조물의 최적안전수준과 수명기간동안 투자되는 총비용과의 상관관계를 연구하였다. 설계, 건설 및 공용 중 투자되는 총비용을 최소화하면서 최적의 안전수준을 결정하기 위하여 신뢰성해석을 수행하였다. 신뢰성해석에는 설계인자들의 불확실성과 설계 및 공사, 유지관리를 수행하는 인간의 오류 등 인적 불확실성을 확률변수로 고려하였다. 이러한 확률해석을 통한 안전지수와 생애주기비용의 상관관계를 연구하고, 생애주기비용의 분산도에 따른 안전지수의 민감도해석을 통하여 최적의 안전수준을 결정하였다. 해석결과는 이러한 평가방법이 교통시설물에 투자되는 비용을 최소화하면서 최적의 안전수준을 결정할 수 있는 정확하고 유용한 방법임을 보여주었다.
