하천 환경의 변화는 자연적으로 일어나기도 하지만, 우리나라 경우 대부분 하천 정비, 골재 채취, 수중보와 하구둑 등 하천시설물의 건설, 그리고 댐 및 교량건설 등 인위적인 요인에 의한 변화가 지배적이다 이렇게 환경이 변화하면 하천의 평형 상태는 파괴되며 하천의 평형 상태를 복원하는 과정에서 하천의 침식 또는 퇴적이 일어나며 이러한 과정의 총체적인 결과로서 하상변동이 일어나게 된다. 하상변동은 단기적인 면에서는 하천에서의 취수, 배수, 주운동 하천관리에 직접적인 영향을 주며, 장기적인 면에서는 하천시설물의 안정, 홍수위 및 지하수위 변화, 홍수터와 같은 하천부지의 변화 등 하천 및 유역 관리에 광범위한 영향을 주고 있다 하천의 유황 및 하상재료의 인위적인 변화에 의한 장기적인 하상변동 효과를 예측하고 분석하는 것은 하천계획 및 관리 면에서 매우 중요하다. 또한 하천 정비사업 등에 의한 영향을 제대로 평가하기 위해서는 비교적 단기간의 홍수 또는 호우 사상에 대한 단기적인 하상변동 효과를 정확하게 예측하는 것은 필수적이다. 외국에서는 하상변동 예측의 필요성을 일찍이 인식하여 다수의 하상변동 예측모형이 개발되어 하천 실무에 사용되고 있으며, 국내에서도 하천 흐름의 등수 역학적 해석을 위해 여러 가지 수치 기법들에 대한 연구가 진행되고 발전되어져 왔다. 현재 국내에서는 측량 자료이용과 모형적용의 용이성을 이유로 1차원 점변 부정류 해석프로그램인 HEC-RAS 모형을 많이 사용하고 있으며 대부분의 하천 정비 기본계획 수립에 있어서도 1차원 해석 모형을 적용하고 있는 실정이다. 국내에 서 수행된 하상변동 예측에 관한 연구들은 대부분 1차원 모형이므로 하천의 사행의 진행이나 유사의 횡방향 분포 등은 고려할 수 없다. 또한 하상변동 계산 시 이동상 부분의 전체가 균일하게 상승 또는 하향하는 것으로 가정하기 때문에 흐름이 급변하는 데 적용하는 것은 적합하지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 4대강살리기 사업이 진행중인 낙동강유역 구미보지점을 대상으로 2차원 흐름 및 하상변동 수치모형인 CCHE2D 모형을 적용하여 50년, 100년, 200년 빈도별로 모의를 실시, 보설치 전 후의 하상변동을 비교 분석 하였다. 모의 결과 보설치 후의 경우 보 상류단은 전반적으로 퇴적의 양상을 보였으며, 보 하류단의 만곡부의 경우 홍수량이 증가함에 따라 유속 및 소류력이 비슷한 패턴으로 증가하여 침식이 관찰되었다. 특히 보 직하류의 경우 수문을 기준으로 다량의 침식이 있음을 보였으며, 침식이 계속 진행된다면 보유실과 같은 심각한 결과를 초래할 수 있기 때문에 침식을 방지 할 수 있는 다양한 장치가 마련되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

The aim of this study is to develop the methodology which enables to identify the mechanical properties of element such as stress intensity factor by using the AE parameters. Considering the multivariate and nonlinear properties of AE parameters such as ringdown count, rise time, energy, event duration and peak amplitude from fatigue cracks of machine element the principal component regression(PCR) and artificial neural network(ANN) models for the estimation of stress intensity factor were developed and validated. The AE parameters were found to be very significant to estimate the stress intensity factor. Since the statistical values including correlation coefficients, standard mr of calibration, standard error of prediction and bias were stable, the PCR and ANN models for stress intensity factor were very robust. The performance of ANN model for unknown data of stress intensity factor was better than that of PCR model.

The purpose of this study was to calculate the temperature difference of the sectional elevation according to the asphalt thickness of the steel box girder bridge deck and provide data on the design basis accordingly. Asphalt thicknesses produced four steel box girder model specimens of 0mm, 50mm, 100m and 150mm. In each model, 17 to 23 temperature sensors were attached to upper concrete and steel box girders. Six temperature gauges were selected to compare the temperature difference with Euro codes. The maximum and lowest temperature were calculated at the reference atmospheric temperature of each model, and the temperature difference (slope) was calculated based on this calculation. Four models of temperature difference are presented at each model. The 0mm to 100mm temperature difference models showed a -0.9 to -1.5 degree lower temperature difference compared to the temperature difference of Euro codes at the top of the slab. Overall, the measured temperature difference was found to be between 5.45% and 8.33% compared to the Euro code. The standard error coefficient, which was calculated by multiplying the average temperature with the standard error, was calculated from a range of 2.50 to 2.51 times the average at the top and bottom. It is estimated that the proposed temperature difference model can be used as a basic data when calculating temperature difference criteria for bridges in Korea.

In this study, a circular pipe can be installed by suction pressure for construction on soft ground with a low-water level. A series of laboratory-scale model tests were conducted in sandy ground to comprehend the suction pressure of the circular pipe in low-water levels. For repeated tests on saturated sandy soil, a container was mounted with three vibration generators on the floor. A repetitive vibration was applied using the vibration system for ground compaction. In the model tests, different diameters and thicknesses on saturated sandy soil with a water depth were considered. The result showed that the suction pressure increased with increasing penetration depth of the circular pipe. Moreover, the suction pressure required to penetrate the pipe decreased with increasing diameter. In the low-water level, the total suction pressure measured at the top lid increased because additional suction pressure is required to lift the water column. On the other hand, this led to a decrease in suction pressure to penetrate the circular pipe because the weight of the water column is applied as a dead load. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the water level to design the required suction pressure accurately.

Ship and bridge structures are a type of long box-shaped structure, and resistance to vertical bending moment is a key factor in their structural design. In particular, because box girders are repeatedly exposed to irregular wave loads for a long time, the continuous collapse behavior of structural members must be accurately predicted. In this study, plastic collapse behavior, including buckling according to load changes of the box girder receiving pure bending moments, was analyzed using a numerical analysis method. The analysis targets were selected as three box girders used in the Gordo experiment. The cause of the difference was considered by comparing the results of the structural strength experiment with those of non-linear finite element analysis. This study proposed a combination of the entire and local sagging shape to reflect the effect of the initial sagging caused by welding heat that is inevitably used to manufacture carbon steel materials. The procedures reviewed in the study and the contents of the initial sagging configuration can be used as a good guide for analyzing the final strength of similar structures in the future.

The problem of interaction between the structures interconnected at discrete points as like composite structures, has a attracted considerable attention for a prolonged period of time. Recently, mixed structures are applied for overcoming structural limits by developed countries. In this paper, advanced connection type of mixed structures are presented by numerical approach. Also it is performed on extensive literature review from theoretical method to numerical analysis. For analysing behaviors of mixed structures according to connection type, 2 different connections and 1 reinforced connection are compared by 3D nonlinear numerical analysis. Nonlinear analysis of mixed structures is carried out by utilizing contact elements of a general purpose structural analysis computer program(ABAQUS). By using 6 criteria, each connections are investigated. From this result, proper reinforcing and well designed connection type are proposed. And results also show that the deflections which are induced by discontinuity on mixed structures, has a linear distribution that should decrease as applying proposed connection type.

This paper presents an extensive robust analysis of a ${\mu}$-controller in the hybrid system for various uncertainties using the benchmark cable-stayed bridge. The overall system robustness may be deteriorated by introducing active devices and the active controller may cause instability due to small margins. Therefore, a ${\mu}$-synthesis method that simultaneously guarantees the performance and stability of the closed-loop system (robust performance) with uncertainties is used for active devices to enhance the robustness in company with the inherent reliability of passive devices. The robustness of the ${\mu}$-synthesis method is investigated with respect to the additional mass on the deck, structural stiffness matrix perturbation, time delay of actuator, and combinations thereof. Numerical simulation results show that the proposed control system has the good robustness without loss of control performances with respect to various uncertainties under earthquakes considered in this study. Furthermore, the control system robustness is more affected by the perturbation of structural stiffness matrix than others considered in this study. Therefore, the hybrid system controlled by a ${\mu}$-synthesis method could be proposed as an improved control strategy for a seismically excited cable-stayed bridge containing many uncertainties.

In this study, the static test of CFT truss girders for different f/L ratios was conducted to determine how the ultimate strength of the CFT truss girder was affected by different f/L ratios. A total of two CFT truss girders were constructed and tested under bending condition. The length of all specimens is 20,000 mm. The CFT truss girder is a tubular truss composed of chord members made of concrete-filled circular tubes. The main parameter analyzed in the experimental study was the f/L ratio. This factor was experimentally investigated to assess their influence on ultimate strength and stiffness. The test results show that CFT truss girder has good elastic-plastic property and ductility. The presence of the f/L ratios in CFT truss girders alters its ultimate strength because of the global stiffness of the CFT truss girders. The ultimate strength of CFT truss girders increases as the f/L ratio increases. If the f/L ratio of the CFT truss girders increases twofold, the ultimate strengths increase by 80%. The CFT truss girders showed that they retained large deformation capacity, even after reaching the ultimate strength. Results of this investigation demonstrated the potential for efficiently using a CFT truss as a bridge girder.

Due to advancements in construction technology and analytical tools, an increasing number of cable-stayed bridges have been designed and constructed in recent years. A cable is a structural element that primarily transmits the main load of a cable-stayed bridge and plays the most crucial role in reflecting the overall condition of the entire bridge system. In this study, a vision-based method was applied to estimate the tension of the stay cables located at a long distance. To measure the response of a cable using a vision-based method, it is necessary to install feature points or targets on the cable. However, depending on the location of the point to be measured, there may be no feature points in the cable, and there may also be limitations in installing the target on the cable. Hence, it is necessary to find a way to measure cable response that overcomes the limitations of existing vision-based methods. This study proposes a method for measuring cable responses by utilizing the characteristics of cable shape. The proposed method involved extracting the cable shape from the acquired image and determining the center of the extracted cable shape to measure the cable response. The extracted natural frequencies of the vibration mode were obtained using the measured responses, and the tension was estimated by applying them to the vibration method. To verify the reliability of the vision-based method, cable images were obtained from the Hwatae Bridge in service under ambient vibration conditions. The reliability of the method proposed in this study was confirmed by applying it to the vibration method using a vision-based approach, resulting in estimated tensions with an error of less than 1% compared to tensions estimated using an accelerometer.

In this study, execution costs of the foundation system are compared with PHC and steel pile in the same soil layers and load condition. Steel piles installed on the thin weathered rock are reduced as 12.5% in comparison with the number of PHC piles. Steel piles installed on the soft rock through weathered rock with 1.7m of thickness reduce the number of piles as 35.7% (STK 400) and 46.4% (STK 490), respectively, in comparison with PHC piles installed on the weathered rock. Also, they reduce the number of piles as 26.5% (STK 400) and 38.8% (STK 490), respectively, in comparison with steel piles (STK 400) installed on the weathered rock. When the thickness of footings is constant, steel piles installed on the soft rock may reduce the area of footings up to 12.2% (STK 400) and 45.4% (STK 490), respectively, in comparison with PHC piles installed on the weathered rock. Total cost of foundation system installed on the soft rock with steel piles (STK 400) increases as 12%, whereas in case of replaced with steel piles (STK 490), it reduces as 16% in comparison with PHC piles installed on the weathered rock. This is because the cost reduction due to the number of piles and footing area is more effective despite high cost of steel piles (STK 490). When the thickness of weathered rock is less than 5m, installing steel piles (STK 490) on the soft rock through it is more economic in comparison with installing PHC piles on the weathered rock.
