The AVT under traffic-induced vibrations was carried out on Namhae suspension bridge in Korea. Mode shapes as well as natural frequencies up to the 15th mode were acquired exactly, and the effect of traffic mass and temperature on measured natural frequencies was investigated. The results from the AVT are compared with those from forced vibration test(FVT) and FE analysis. In the case of long span suspension bridges such as Namhae bridge which has relatively large mass, the results shows that the measured natural frequencies are not affected by vehicle mass. From the results of long-term variation of natural frequencies due to temperature change, it can be said that temperature effect may be predominant to structural demage effect. Therefore, if damage detection methods based on dynamic characteristics of bridges are to be used, the variation should be taken into consideration.

The transient vibration test and synchronized human excitation is performed for low-rise concrete buildings and their identified natural frequency, damping ratio, and mode shape are compared. Form the identified dynamic parameters, it was found that the damping ratio obtained through the synchronized human excitation test is greater than those obtained from the transient vibration test. However, the mode shapes of the first mode are not significantly different regardless of the test method. Further, the stiffness of the interior brick partition considerably affect the stiffness of the entire building such that the first natural mode of rectangular shaped building occurred in the longitudinal direction rather than transverse direction.

This paper proposed a technique of structural re-analysis for the evaluation of dynamic responses of bridge structure under moving loads using experimental modal results. For successful structural re-analysis, it is required to have accurate estimation techniques of the modal characteristics of bridge structures. The natural frequencies and mode shapes were identified by direct fourier analysis techniques and damping ratios by the random decrement method, respectively. An interpolation method was also proposed for the extension of mode shape measured on limited DOFs. Second, the structural reanalysis was performed using moving mass model and identified modal parameters. The results from the reanalysis show that the proposed technique is very reasonable to evaluate the actual behavior of bridge structures under moving loads.

대형 조물은 안전관리 시스템의 법제화로 스트레인 게이지, 가속도 센서 등을 이용하여 상시 관리를 의무화 하고 있다. 상시 계측을 위해 유선 센서의 경우 데이터 전송의 신뢰성은 있지만 선로 결선의 문제점 때문에 무선 센서의 적용이 요구된다. 하지만 무선 센서의 경우, 전원공급의 문제를 갖고 있어 장차이 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 압전체를 이용하여 무선 센서의 전원 공을 위한 에너지 변환 시스템을 제안하였다. 이 시스템은 구조물 내부의 진동을 전기 에너지로 변환, Capacitor에 저장 후, 데이터 전송을 위해 일시에 방출하는 구조이다. 20m의 무선 데이터 통신을 위해 2.43mJ(5V*49mA*10ms)의 전력량이 필요한데, 모의 교량 모델에 시스템을 적용한 결과 2분 30초 동안의 진동 에너지가 2.8mJ의 전기 에너지로 저장되었다. 이 실험 결과를 토대로 무선 센서를 이용한 상시 모니터링이 가능함을 예상할 수 있다.

This paper reports the mode shapes of Seohae cable-stayed bridge extracted by TDD technique. In order to record total 72 acceleration points in the vertical direction of the bridge deck, a custom made data acquisition system with LAN communication has been especially developed and a set of ambient vibration tests has been conducted. For the measured acceleration responses, total twenty four mode shapes up to 2Hz has been extracted by TDD technique. The extracted mode shapes include many new modes that have not been identified in the current on-line health monitoring system installed in the bridge. It is confirmed that TDD technique is the most effective in extracting the high resolution mode shapes on a particularly long span bridge.

본 논문에서는 먼저 흥인지문에 대해 상시진동실험을 수행하고, 그 데이터를 분석하여 흥인지문의 고유진동수, 모드, 감쇠비의 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과로부터 흥인지문의 병진모드를 파악하였고, 병진모드에서 측정한 여러 기둥의 모드 상대크기와 위상이 동일함을 확인하였다. 저차 병진모드에서 모든 기둥이 같은 방향으로 강성을 발휘하기 때문에 각층의 강성을 합한 등가의 층강성을 가지는 2자유도의 동적강체해석모델을 제시하였다. 이 해석모델은 선형 범위 내에서 거동한다는 것으로 가정하여 층강성을 산정하였다. 실제 흥인지문의 접합부에는 부재간의 이음과 맞춤에 의한 마찰력이 작용한다. 접합부를 누르는 무거운 지붕하중에 의해 이 마찰력은 증가하게 되고, 이로써 횡하중에 저항하게 된다. 이러한 접합부에 강한 횡하중이 작용하게 되면, 접합부의 이완 및 마찰력의 저하 등으로 인하여 횡강성의 저하가 급격히 일어나는 비선형 특성을 갖게 된다. 이러한 흥인지문의 비선형적인 특성을 파악하기 위해 흥인지문 해석모델에 쿨롱 마찰력을 도입하여 비선형적인 해석모델을 제시하였다.

Through this paper, we studied on the basic concept of vibration-induced power generation for urban infrastructures. Since the travelling of automobiles on the bridge cause vibration, it is possible to convert the vibration energy into green-electric energy by utilizing magnetic induction technology. In this paper we define the concept of green-bridge vibration power generation system which contains the concept of magnetic induction technology and propose a vibration power generation device for converting the bridge vibration energy into the electric energy. Also, an experiment was held by applying the vibration power generator on a real bridge. The results showed the applicability and effectiveness of the vibration power generator.

We installed temporary strong motion seismometers at the ground surface, 1 m, 2 m, and 9 m at an existing seismic station that houses permanent seismometers installed at 20 m and 100 m, to investigate the influence of installation depth on the recorded ambient and anthropogenic noise level and the characteristics of earthquake signals. Analysis of the ambient noise shows that anthropogenic noise dominates where vibration period T < 1 s at the studied site, whereas wind speed appears to be strongly correlated with the noise level at T > 1 s. Frequency-wavenumber analysis of 2D seismometer array suggests that ambient noise in short periods are predominantly body waves, rather than surface waves. The level of ambient noise was low at 9 m and 20 m, but strong amplification of noise level at T < 0.1 s was observed at the shallow seismometers. Both the active-source test result and the recorded earthquake data demonstrated that the signal level is decreased with the increase of depth. Our result also shows that recorded motions at the ground and 1 m are strongly amplified at 20 Hz (T = 0.05 s), likely due to the resonance of the 3 m thick soil layer. This study demonstrates that analysis of ambient and active-source vibration may help find optimal installation depth of strong motion seismometers. We expect that further research considering various noise environments and geological conditions will be helpful in establishing a guideline for optimal installation of strong motion seismometers.

For a marine bridge foundation construction, a large-circular-steel-pipe has been proposed for supporting vertical load and preventing water infiltration. However, a ship collision can adversely affect the structural stability. This paper presents a fundamental study on dynamic responses of the large-circular-steel-pipe by an impact load. In laboratory experiments, small-scaled steel pipe is installed in a soil tank. The soil height and water level are set to 23 cm and 25~70 cm, respectively. The upper part of the steel pipe is impacted using a hammer to simulate the ship collision. The dynamic responses are measured using accelerometers and strain gauges. Experimental results show that the strain decreases as the measured location is lowered. The higher frequency components appear in the impact load condition compared to the microtremor condition. However, the higher frequency components measured at the strain gauge located below the water level do not appear. For the accelerometer signal, the maximum frequency under the impact load is higher than that of the microtremor. The maximum frequency decreases as water level increases but it is larger than the maximum frequency of the microtremor. This study shows that strain gauge and accelerometer can be useful for evaluating the dynamic responses of large-circular-steel-pipes.
