As girders and towers in cable-stayed bridges are subject to bending moments as well as axial forces, the conventional load rating equation, which considers only the single force effect, cannot be used to evaluate the rating factors of cable-stayed bridges. The load rating equation for components in cable-stayed bridges is not currently established yet. In this paper, we propose load rating equations for girders and towers in cable-stayed bridges using the interaction equations for beam-column members. Moving load analyses were performed for the cases of a maximum axial compressive force, maximum positive moment and maximum negative moment for each component in cable-stayed bridges and detailed procedures to apply proposed equations were presented. The Dolsan Grand Bridge was used to verify the validity of proposed equations. The conventional load rating equation overestimates rating factors of girders and towers in the Dolsan Grand Bridge, whereas proposed equations properly reflect the axial-flexural interaction behaviour of girders and towers in cable-stayed bridges.

This study has analyzed the backwater effect by the bridge pier on the basis of the result on hydraulic characteristics with pier shapes in study(I), using a two-dimensional model(RMA-2) and an one-dimensional model(HEC-RAS). The pier shapes are classified into total six types such as square, rhombus, octagon, oval, round, and no-piers. The result of the backwater effect analysis showed that the backwater length is about 150 and 50m from HEC-RAS and RMA-2, respectively for all pier types. Although it is difficult to directly compare between results from the two models, the oval shape pier has shown similar results to the no-pier situation before the bridge construction in hydraulic characteristics. This analysis can help to select pier types in the new bridge construction for the future.

A fully coupled effective stress dynamic analysis procedure for modeling seismic liquefaction on slope is presented. An elasto-plastic formulation is used for the constitutive model UBCSAND in which the yield loci are radial lines of constant stress ratio and the flow rule is non-associated. This is incorporated into the 2D version of Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua (FLAC) by modifying the existing Mohr-Coulomb model. This numerical procedure is used to simulate centrifuge test data from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). UBCSAND is first calibrated to cyclic direct simple shear tests performed on Nevada sand. Both pre- and post-liquefaction behaviour is captured. The centrifuge test is then modeled and the predicted accelerations, excess porewater pressures, and displacements are compared with the measurements. The results are shown to be in general agreement. The procedure is currently being used in the design of liquefaction remediation measures for a number of dam, bridge, tunnel, and pipeline projects in Western Canada.

Most recently, environmental problems arise from management waste tires by increasing number of automobiles. Waste tires are not compressible and not easy for degradation in landfill. Even if it were landfill, it is difficult to treat. Total amount of waste tires is about 20 million per year and the collection is 68.6% in this country. Structure of slope stability using waste tire blocks filled with concrete increases durability, reduce construction period, and it can be utilized as an example. Therefore, it reduces the volume of waste and recycles waste. Also, it prevents the air pollution due to the incineration and creates economic value.

Eight RC bridge plers have been made on a 1/3.4 scale model and have been tested in a quasi-static cyclic load so as to investigate their seismic performance. The ultimate objective of this experimental study is to investigate the hysteretic behavior of reinforced concrete plers, which have been widely used for urban transportation facilities in Korea. Improtant test parameters are hoop ratio, axial load, load pattern, and etc. And noninear behaviors of test columns have been evaluated through their yield and ultimate strength, energy dissipation, ductility and load-deflection characteristics under quasi-static cyclic loads. From the quasi-static tests on 8 bridge piers, it is concluded that energy dissipation, ultimate strength and curvature for a given displacement factor ${\mu}={\Delta}/{\Delta}_y$ are higher for the seismically designed columns than for the nonseismically designed columns.

홍수 시 하천을 따라 유하되는 유송잡물은 구조물에 집적을 통해 유수의 흐름을 방해하고 구조물 주변의 지반을 약화시키거나 월류로 인한 심각한 피해를 야기 시킨다. 교량의 경우 유송잡물의 집적은 교각의 항력을 증가시켜 전도파괴를 유발시킬 수 있으며, 교각주변 흐름교란을 통한 하상 세굴로 인해 기초부를 파괴시키기도 한다. 또한 통수단면적 증가로 인해 높아진 수위는 제방월류로 인해 재산 및 인명피해를 유발하기도 한다. 본 연구는 이러한 유송잡물의 집적을 억제시키는 저감시설물을 대상으로 연구를 수행하고자 한다. 유송잡물 저감시설 중 우회말뚝을 대상으로 수리모형실험을 수행하고 실규모 실험을 통해 저감효과를 검토하였다. 우회말뚝은 교각 전면부에 상류방향으로 이격되어 설치되는 말뚝형태의 구조물로 유송잡물의 우회를 통해 교각에 집적을 저감하는 목적으로 설치된다. 본 연구에서는 수리실험 및 실규모실험을 통해 우회말뚝의 저감능력 검토를 수행하였으며, 1개의 말뚝을 대상으로 교각과의 이격거리와의 관계를 검토하고자 하였다. 수리모형실험의 결과 유송잡물의 길이가 경간장의 100% 일 경우 저감시설이 없을 경우 교각에 87.6% 집적이 발생하였으나 말뚝이 설치되었을 경우 교각에 직접적으로 집적되는 유송잡물은 없으며 31.7% 유송잡물은 우회말뚝에 집적되는 것으로 나타났다. 실규모 실험의 경우 우회말뚝이 없는 경우 집적률은 60%의 집적이 이루어졌으나 우회말뚝을 설치한 경우 10%의 집적률로 나타났다. 우회 말뚝설치에 따른 저감효과는 발생하였으나 이격거리에 대한 저감능력의 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 우회말뚝의 이격거리가 길어질수록 말뚝주변에서 회전되어진 유송잡물이 교각에 간헐적으로 집적되는 현상이 관측되었다. 따라서 말뚝의 위치를 선정하기 위해서는 유송잡물의 길이를 고려하여 설치하는 것이 유리할 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, the effect on the lateral and torsional behavior of ballastless railway plate girder bridge by the installation of the lower horizontal bracing has been reviewed. First of all, the most efficient lower bracing arrangement has been reviewed by comparing and examining the lateral displacement due to the train load, targeting analysis models with different arrangement types of lower bracing. Next, the research on torsional behavior of plate girder bridge with lower bracing has been conducted. In addition, the torsion constant from FEM analysis results has been compared with the torsion constant of a railroad plate girder bridge with a closed section by substituting the upper and lower horizontal bracing with equivalent thickness. Based on this comparison, the impact on the bridge span length and the cross section area of the lower bracing has been examined. Through this study, the curve graph related to lateral buckling moment and torsional constant ratio is presented and the range of plate girder bridge requiring torsional reinforcement is proposed.

The embedded demountable shear connector was developed in preparation for replacement works due to deterioration and damage to the bridge panel of the PSC girder bridge which is a road infrastructure directly related to the safety and convenience of the people. The demountable shear connector minimizes crushing works in the demolition process of the panel, and it is easy to re-construct the shear connector for replacement work. The economic feasibility of the PSC girder bridge using the embedded demountable shear connector compared to the existing construction method was analyzed from the perspective of road users (people) by calculating and comparing the cost of road users caused by traffic blocking during each construction method.

The TMD has a simple structure than other vibration control devices and shows excellent control performance for the simple harmonic vibration generated in the structure. However, the vibration control range is narrower than other control devices, making it vulnerable to vibration cycles caused by unexpected external loads. The ETMD developed in this study consisted of Mass with electromagnets. Therefore when supplying a current, the magnetic field is formed to increase the friction force with the friction plate, thereby instantaneously controlling the behavior of the Mass. The experiment was conducted to compare the control performance of the control device by installing the ETMD developed for control performance evaluation in the center of the model simple beam bridge to forced excitation at 3.02 Hz where the maximum bending displacement occurs. As a result of the experiment, ETMD exhibited excellent control performance with a maximum bending displacement attenuation rate of 57.51%.
