본 논문에서는 현수교에 대하여 지반-구조물 상호작용을 고려한 해석을 수행하였다. 교량의 앵커리지와 기초를 부분구조법(Structure method)을 이용한 지반-구조물 상호작용(Soil-Structure Interaction) 해석프로그램 SASSI를 이용하여 구조물 저면에서의 지반 임피던스(Impedance)를 계산하고 이로부터 앵커리지 및 기초와 지반에 대응하는 강성, 질량, 그리고 감쇠를 가지는 집중 파라메터 모델을 구하였다. 그리고 현수교 유한요소 모델에 앵커리지 및 기초와 지반에 대한 집중 파라메터 모델을 연계하여 전체 교량에 대한 지반-구조물 시스템을 구성하고 시간영역에서의 지반 운동에 대한 동적해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과를 지반-구조물 상호작용을 고려하지 않은 경우와 고려한 경우를 비교하였고 파동전달효과를 고려한 경우와 고려하지 않은 경우를 비교함으로써 지반-구조물 상호작용의 영향을 살펴보았다.

Seohae Grand Bridge is a part of the new West Coast Highway(353km) under construction, which connects Inchon and Mokpo. It is the longest bridge in Korea (7.31 km), and has 97 spans of 60m each precast segmental approach bridges, 2 main spans of 165m each free cantilever segmental bridge(500m), and 1 stay cable bridge of 990m In total length. During the seven year long construction period, many new construction technologies and methods were utilized for the first time in Korea, and gave invaluable opportunities to experience and master these in completing the project on time with safety and precision. I am proud of being a member of this project, and wish to express deep appreciations to those who participated in the project.

For the slender and flexible cable supported bridges, identification of all the flutter derivatives for the vertical, lateral and torsional motions is essential for its stability investigation. In all, eighteen flutter derivatives may have to be considered, the identification of which using a three degree-of-freedom elastic suspension system has been a challenging task. In this paper, a system identification technique, known as covariance-driven stochastic subspace identification (COV-SSI) technique, has been utilized to extract the flutter derivatives for a typical bridge deck. This method identifies the stochastic state-space model from the covariances of the output-only (stochastic) data. All the eighteen flutter derivatives have been simultaneously extracted from the output response data obtained from wind tunnel test on a 3-DOF elastically suspended bridge deck section-model. Simplicity in model suspension and measurements of only output responses are additional motivating factors for adopting COV-SSI technique. The identified discrete values of flutter derivatives have been approximated by rational functions.

This paper introduces an approach to the realization of an ICT-based bridge remote monitoring system that enables real-time monitoring and controlled adjustments for unexpected heavy loads and also for damaging earthquakes or typhoons. In this paper, an integrated bridge remote monitoring system called the "Intelligent Bridge", which consists of a stand-alone monitoring system (SMS) and a web-based Internet monitoring system(IMS), was developed for not only bridge maintenance but also as an application for a para-stressing bridge system. To verify the possibility of controlling the actual structural performance of an "Intelligent Bridge", a model 2-span continuous cable-stayed bridge with adjustable cables was constructed. The experimental results demonstrate that the implemented monitoring system supplies detailed and accurate information about bridge behaviour for further evaluation and diagnosis, and it also opens up prospects for future application of a web-based remote system to actually adjust in-service bridges under field conditions.

Buffeting induced resonance (BIR) of hangers on long-suspension bridges is briefly reviewed, including mechanism and experimental verification. Taken the Xihoumen suspension bridge as a numerical example, sensitivities of the BIR of hangers to wind properties are investigated, including types of wind spectrum, turbulence intensity, and spacial coherence of wind fluctuations. Numerical simulations indicate that the BIR of hangers occur to both cases of different wind spectra, showing that it is insensitive to types of wind spectrum. On the other hand, it is found that the turbulence intensity affects buffeting of main cables almost in a linear manner, and so it does to the BIR of the hangers; however, the resonance factors, namely the ratio of the response of the hanger to that of the main cable, are little affected by the turbulence intensity. The spacial coherence of the wind fluctuations, although plays an important role on the buffeting responses of the main structure, has no substantial effects on the BIR of the hangers. Finally, replacement of steel strand with CFRP material has been verified as a very effective countermeasure against the BIR of hangers.

Flutter derivatives provide the basis of predicting the critical wind speed in flutter and buffeting analysis of long-span cable-supported bridges. In this paper, one popular stochastic system identification technique, covariance-driven Stochastic Subspace Identification(SSI in short), is firstly presented for estimation of the flutter derivatives of bridge decks from their random responses in turbulent flow. Secondly, wind tunnel tests of a streamlined thin plate model and a ${\Pi}$ type blunt bridge section model are conducted in turbulent flow and the flutter derivatives are determined by SSI. The flutter derivatives of the thin plate model identified by SSI are very comparable to those identified by the unifying least-square method and Theodorson's theoretical values. As to the ${\Pi}$ type section model, the effect of turbulence on aerodynamic damping seems to be somewhat notable, therefore perhaps the wind tunnel tests for flutter derivative estimation of those models with similar blunt sections should be conducted in turbulent flow.

As large structures such as high-rise buildings and cable-stayed bridges become lighter and more flexible, the necessity of structural control for reducing excessive displacement and acceleration due to seismic excitation is increased. As a method to minimize seismic damages, various base isolation systems are adopted or considered for adoption. In this study, the seismic performance of MR dampers are studied and compared with that of the NZ system as a base isolation system. As the control algorithm of the MR damper, the clipped-optimal control(applied LQR method) is employed. A five-story building is modeled and the seismic performance of the two systems subjected to three different earthquakes is compared. The results show that the MR damper system can provide superior protection than the NZ system for a wide range of ground motions.

Procedures for estimation of axial or flexural rigidities of bridge members by neural networks are shown. To treat large scale structures containing many unkwon parameters, substructuring concept is introduced. The measurement points are selected considering the sensitivity of the element stiffnesses of interest. Utilization of relative mode vectors is found to be very effective for the local parameter estimation. Then, the study focuses on the method to obtain the training set enough to represent structures. It is shown that noise injection is effective to reduce the estimation errors caused by measurement noise. Verification of the present method is carried out using a cable-stayed bridge model.

본 논문에서는 강사장교의 극한강도 및 파괴모드를 간략하게 예측할 수 있는 간단하고 빠른 해석법을 제안하였다. 기존의 비탄성 고유치해석의 기본 개념을 바탕으로 기둥 요소에 대한 수렴 기준을 보였고, 사장교 구조 시스템의 거더 및 주탑 요소에서 보-기둥 거동을 고려하기 위한 새로운 수렴 기준을 제시하였다. 제시된 방법의 타당성 검증을 위하여 중앙경간 길이와 거더의 높이를 변화시킨 강사장교 모델에 대하여 제안된 비탄성 고유치 해석과 비선형 탄소성 해석 결과를 비교하였다. 해석 결과, 제안된 수렴 기준을 적용한 비탄성 고유치 해석은 기존에 기둥의 수렴기준을 적용했던 방법에 비하여 강사장교의 극한강도를 보다 정확히 예측할 수 있었다. 또한, 제안된 방법은 강사장교의 파괴모드 역시 근사하게 모사 가능함을 알 수 있었다.
