본 연구에서는 한계상태설계법에 기반한 교량 평가법을 개발하기 위하여, 공용 중인 교량의 실측실험을 반영하여 적용성을 분석하였다. 예제 PSC Beam 실 교량의 부재 실험 결과로부터 부재의 시험강도를 구하였으며, 재료 시험값으로부터 추정된 통계특성을 적용하여 산정된 저항강도와 시험강도를 비교하였다. 부재의 시험강도와 재료의 변동성을 고려한 저항강도는 동등한 수준으로 계산되어 실측실험의 적합성이 검증되었다. 차량재하시험으로부터 응답보정계수와 동적충격계수를 계산하였으며, 실측실험 결과를 반영한 내하율을 적용하여 현행 교량 평가법과 한계상태설계법 기반으로 산정된 내하율을 비교하였다. 재료 시험값의 통계특성으로부터 추정된 부재 저항강도의 통계특성을 적용하여 실 교량의 신뢰도지수를 계산하였다. 설계기준 개발에 적용한 저항강도 통계특성으로 구한 신뢰도지수보다 실측실험의 통계특성을 적용하는 경우 더 큰 값의 신뢰도지수를 얻었다.

Data structure was designed not only to estimate LCC but also to analyze time-variant reliability index of plate girder bridges. Information model for data structure was categorized into cost information, cost variable information, user cost information, and reliability analysis information according to the characteristic of data. EXPRESS language of STEP was adopted to describe the data structure for the electronic representation of LCC information. The suitability of the developed data structure was verified by estimating LCC and analyzing time-variant reliability index of a plate girder bridge considering corrosion on the basis of the constructed test database.

Developed is the new program that the reliability analysis can be performed more effectively considering the correlation of structural members about the cable stayed bridge. This program is formulated the stochastic finite element method suitable for the reliability analysis and the new safety evaluation method is proposed which is different from the existing one by the deterministic method or MCS response analysis. After conducting the initial equilibrium analysis of cable stayed bridges, the stochastic finite element is formulated through the perturbation method and the reliability analysis considering the correlation of stochastic variables is conducted. The results in various types of cable stayed bridge show that the probability of failure considering the correlation is larger than the non-correlation. The fan system is more stable than other systems at the structural response and the probability failure.

In this paper, a reliability-based approach has been implemented to develop seismic analytical fragility curves of highway bridges. A typical bridge class of the Central and South-eastern United States (CSUS) region was selected. Detailed finite element modelling is presented and Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA) is used to capture the behavior of the bridge from linear to nonlinear behavior. Bayesian linear regression method is used to define the demand model. A reliability approach is implemented to generate the analytical fragility curves and the proposed approach is compared with the conventional fragility analysis procedure.

The long term bridge monitoring system in Korea was installed in 1995 at first, and many bridges has been maintained by long term monitoring system. Recently, reliability of data and cost effectiveness has been increased by advanced sensor technology, measuring equipment. However, considering several reference and data on bridge monitoring systems in Korea, various problems of bridge monitoring systems can be found. Therefore, in this study, the state of the art on bridge monitoring systems in Korea were investigated and various problems and solutions for these problems were suggested.

Life-cycle performance analysis of a reinforced concrete box section bridge was generated. Moreover, Monte Carlo simulation with important sampling (IS) was used to simulate the bridge material and load uncertainties. The bridge deterioration model was generated with the basic probabilistic principles and updated according to the measurement data. A genetic algorithm (GA) with the response surface model (RSM) was used to determine the deterioration rate. The importance of health monitoring systems to sustain the bridge to give services economically and reliably and the advantages of fiber-optic sensors for SHM applications were discussed in detail. This study showed that the most effective loss of strength in reinforced concrete box section bridges is corrosion of the reinforcements. Due to reinforcement corrosion, the use of the bridge, which was examined, could not meet the desired strength performance in 25 years, and the need for reinforcement. In addition, it has been determined that long-term health monitoring systems are an essential approach for bridges to provide safe and economical service. Moreover the use of fiber optic sensors has many advantages because of the ability of the sensors to be resistant to environmental conditions and to make sensitive measurements.

본 연구는 국내 콘크리트교량설계기준에 신뢰도기반 저항계수를 적용하기 위한 기초 연구로, 구조물의 설계강도를 산정하기 위하여 사용하는 저항계수체계에 따른 설계결과와 신뢰도지수를 비교분석하는 연구를 수행하였다. 현재 국내에서 적용하는 단면저항계수 및 유럽에서 사용하는 재료저항계수를 적용하여 콘크리트 빔 교량들에 대하여 동일한 설계를 수행한 결과를 비교분석하였다. 콘크리트 구조의 강도를 산정하는데 관련된 재료, 치수 및 해석의 불확실성을 고려하여 설계의 안전율인 신뢰도지수를 산정하고, 신뢰도지수에 큰 영향을 미치는 설계변수에 대한 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 휨강도와 전단강도에 대하여 설계를 수행하였으며, 현행 국내 도로교설계기준, 미국 AASHTO LRFD, 유럽 Eurocode의 저항계수를 적용한 결과 국내 기준의 저항계수에 따른 설계의 신뢰도지수가 가장 컸으며, 활하중의 통계분포 형식에 따라 신뢰도지수에 차이가 있음을 보였다. 콘크리트 보의 휨과 전단에 대한 신뢰도지수에 미치는 영향은 철근의 항복강도와 활하중이 가장 큼을 민감도 분석결과를 통하여 알 수 있었다.

Purpose: Majority of bridges and roads in Gangwon Province have been carrying loads associated with heavy materials such as rocks, mining products, and cement. This location-specific live loads have contributed to the present situation of overloading, compared to other provinces in Korea. However, the bridges in Gangwon province are designed by national bridge design specification, without considering the location-specific live load characteristics. Therefore, this study focuses on the real traffic data accumulated on regional weighing station to verify the live load characteristics, including actual live load gross vehicle weight, axle weight axle spacings, and number of trucks. Methods: In order to take into account the location specific live load, a governmental weigh station (38th national highway Miro) have been selected and the passing truck data are processed. Based on the truck survey, trucks are categorized into 3 different shapes, and each shape has been idealized into normal distribution. Then, the resulting survey data are processed to predict the target maximum live load values, including the axle loads and gross vehicle weights in 75 years service life span. Results: The results are compared to the nationally used DB-24 live loads, and the results show that nationally recognized DB-24 live load does not sufficiently represent real traffic in mountaineous region in Gangwon province. Conclusion: The comparison results in the recommendation of location-specific live load that should be taken into account for bridge design and evaluation.

Reliability based limit state design method is replacing traditional deterministic designs such as allowable stress design and/or ultimate strength design methods in world trends. European design code(Eurocode) has adopted limit state design, and Korea road bridge design standard has also recently been transferred to limit state design method. In this trend, Korea railroad design standard is also preparing for adopting the same design concept. While safety factors are determined empirically in traditional design, load combinations as well as load factors are determined by solving limit state equations. General partial safety factors are evaluated by using AFORM(Advanced First Order Reliability Method) in the reliability based limit state design method. In this study sensitivity analysis is carried out for a dead load factor and a live load factor. Relative precisions of the dead load and the live load factors are discussed prior to the AFORM analysis. Furthermore the sectional forces of design and the material quantities required by two different design methods are compared for a PSC box girder railway bridge.

In recent years, the deterioration of infrastructures is especially considered. In prestress concrete bridges, one of the important mechanisms of deterioration is the corrosion of the post-tensioned tendon due to environmental agents. In this study, the reliability analysis is performed for a prestress concrete box girder bridge under the pitting corrosion attack with considering the inspection and failure cost. The variation of life-time performance depending on inspection methods have to be quantified. The inspection methods with different accuracy of corrosion detection are presented and applied for model of reliability analysis. The computer program for analysis reliability index of the structure as well as updating process is obtained. An existing bridge is applied for illustrating the influence of inspection cost on the behaviors of structure. Subsequently, the benefit of inspection has shown to predict the time to failure of structure.
