About past 30 years, we don't have enough consideration and investigation about DB-Load. While 30 years, weight of truck is heavier and condition of roads differ, so many conditions of roads and vehicles are changed. We must consider change of many conditions and we must improve laws about maintenance of DB-Load. and now we must consider that low grade as well as high grade bridge can cross heavy vehicle and harmony between changed size of vehicle and bridge while making laws and code. So we can apply to improve design properly.

유체의 흐름에 의해 교량의 교각 및 교대 주변의 하상재료가 유실되는 현상을 말하는 교량 세굴은 교량 파괴의 주요원인이다. 그리고 홍수시 교량의 수위는 교량자체 안전뿐만 아니라 교량을 이용하는 사용자의 안전을 위해도 반드시 확인해야 한다. 따라서 교량의 안전관리를 위해 세굴과 수위계측은 필수적이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 기존의 세굴계측의 한계를 극복할 수 있는 새로운 교량세굴 측정방법을 개발하고 현장 검증을 통해 개발 기술의 우수성과 타당성을 확인하였다. 새롭게 개발된 세굴 및 수위 측정방법은 교각에 수직으로 계측장치를 설치하고 일정간격으로 설치된 온도 센서의 온도를 측정하여 수면 위치와 수중 지면의 위치를 추정하는 방법으로 대기온도와 수온, 수온과 수중 지온의 차이를 분석하여 수면 및 수중 지면의 위치를 추정하는 방법이다. 개발 기술은 절대적인 온도 차이뿐만 아니라 대기와 수중 그리고 지중의 일변화량이 서로 다르다는 점을 이용하여 수면의 위치와 수중 지면 위치를 보다 정확하게 추정할 수 있다. 개발 기술의 검증을 위해 소하천 및 실험실, 그리고 교량 교각에서 개발기술을 시범 적용하고, 매질별 온도분포 특성, 시간에 따른 온도변화 추이 등을 분석하여 개발기술이 효과적으로 교량 세굴과 수위를 계측할 수 있는 방법임을 확인하였다.

A large number of bridges were built several decades ago, and most of which have gradually suffered serious deteriorations or damage due to the increasing traffic loads, environmental effects, and inadequate maintenance. However, very few studies were conducted to investigate the vibration behaviors of a damaged bridge under moving vehicles. In this paper, the vibration behaviors of such vehicle-bridge system are investigated in details, in which the effects of the concrete cracks and bridge surface roughness are particularly considered. Specifically, two vehicle models are introduced, i.e., a simplified four degree-of-freedoms (DOFs) vehicle model and a more complex seven DOFs vehicle model, respectively. The bridges are modeled in two types, including a single-span uniform beam and a full scale reinforced concrete high-pier bridge, respectively. The crack zone in the reinforced concrete bridge is considered by a damage function. The bridge and vehicle coupled equations are established by combining the equations of motion of both the bridge and vehicles using the displacement relationship and interaction force relationship at the contact points between the tires and bridge. The numerical simulations and verifications show that the proposed modeling method can rationally simulate the vibration behaviors of the damaged bridge under moving vehicles; the effect of cracks on the impact factors is very small and can be neglected for the bridge with none roughness, however, the effect of cracks on the impact factors is very significant and cannot be neglected for the bridge with roughness.

It is increasing construction of long span railway bridge with concrete track system for speed up of railway and efficient maintenance of track. As the sleeper of the concrete track system layed on a bridge is fixed on deck of the bridge, the displacement of the sleeper and deck is same. Therefore, the spacing between two sleeper installed at the end of the adjacent deck near the expansion joint of bridge becomes vary according to the longitudinal expansion of a deck by temperature change. By the way, if the spacing of sleepers become increase excessively, it causes large bending stress of in a rail, and it can leads failure or reduction of fatigue life of the rail. Further more, the excessive displacement of the rail may induce decrease ride comfort as well as corrugation of rail surface. Therefore, it is required to determine the allowable maximum sleeper spacing to prevent such problems. For the purpose, investigation on the influence factor on sleeper spacing for straight track was carried out. Variation of bending moment in a rail, wheel force, and the ratio of primary and secondary deflection of the rail according to sleeper spacing was investigated, and, as a result, the maximum allowable sleeper spacing at the bridge expansion joint was suggested.

H 형강은 시공성과 유지관리의 간편성으로부터 교량의 주형과 가설 구조물에 사용하는 경우가 증가하고 있다. 특히 H형강을 교량에 적용하는 경우 지점부의 부모멘트에 의해 지간장 20m 내외가 한계이고, 기존공법의 경우 콘크리트를 사용한 공법에 비해 큰 장점을 가지고 있지 못한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 교량의 장지간화가 가능한 가로거더공법을 개발하여 기존의 강교량의 문제점을 극복한 장지간 H형강 강합성 교량을 개발하고자한다. 여기서는 수치해석적 방법으로 주형과 주형이 연속화되는 시점을 변화시켜 내하력을 계산하고, 그 결과로 부터 합리적인 가로거더공법을 개발하고자한다.

Damage detection plays a very important role to the maintenance of bridge structures. Traditional damage detection methods are usually based on structural dynamic properties, which are acquired from pre-installed sensors on the bridge. This is not only time-consuming and costly, but also suffers from poor sensitivity to damage if only natural frequencies and mode shapes are concerned in a noisy environment. Recently, the idea of using the dynamic responses of a passing vehicle shows a convenient and economical way for damage detection of bridge structures. Inspired by this new idea and the well-established tap test in the field of non-destructive testing, this paper proposes a new method for obtaining the damage information through the acceleration of a passing vehicle enhanced by a tapping device. Since no finger-print is required of the intact structure, this method can be easily implemented in practice. The logistics of this method is illustrated by a vehicle-bridge interaction model, along with the sensitivity analysis presented in detail. The validity of the method is proved by some numerical examples, and remarks are given concerning the potential implementation of the method as well as the directions for future research.

Bridge scour is the predominant cause of overwater bridge failures in North America and around the world. Several sensing systems have been developed over the years to detect the extent of scour so that preventative actions can be performed in a timely manner. These sensing systems have drawbacks, such as signal inaccuracy and discontinuity, installation difficulty, and high cost. Therefore, attempts to develop more efficient monitoring schemes continue. In this study, the viability of using optical dissolved oxygen (DO) probes for monitoring scour depths was explored. DO levels are very low in streambed sediments, as compared to the standard level of oxygen in flowing water. Therefore, scour depths can be determined by installing sensors to monitor DO levels at various depths along the buried length of a bridge pier or abutment. The measured DO is negligible when a sensor is buried but would increase significantly once scour occurs and exposes the sensor to flowing water. A set of experiments was conducted in which four dissolved oxygen probes were embedded at different soil depths in the vicinity of a mock bridge pier inside a laboratory flume simulating scour conditions. The results confirmed that DO levels jumped drastically when sensors became exposed during scour hole evolution, thereby providing discrete measurements of the maximum scour depth. Moreover, the DO probes could detect any subsequent refilling of the scour hole through the deposition of sediments. The effect of soil permeability on the sensing response time was also investigated.
