Traffic flow capacity of some old road bridges is insufficient due to limited deck width. In such cases bridge deck widening is a common solution. For multi-girder reinforced concrete (RC) bridges it is possible to add steel-concrete composite girders as the new outermost girders. The deck widening may be combined with bridge strengthening thanks to thickening of the existing deck slab. Joint action of the existing and the added parts of such bridge span must be ensured. It refers especially to the horizontal plane at the interface of the existing slab and the added concrete layer as well as to the vertical planes at the external surfaces of the initially outermost girders where the added girders are connected to the existing bridge span. Since the distribution of the added concrete is non-uniform in the span cross-section the structure is particularly sensitive to the added concrete shrinkage. The shrinkage induces shear forces in the aforementioned planes. Widening of a 12 m long RC multi-girder bridge span is numerically analysed to assess the influence of the added concrete shrinkage. The analysis results show that: a) in the vertical plane of the connection of the added and the existing deck slab the longitudinal shear due to the shrinkage of the added concrete is comparable with the effect of live load, b) it is necessary to provide appropriate longitudinal reinforcement in the deck slab over the added girders due to tension induced by the shrinkage of the added concrete.

In this study, it is demonstrated that how the effect of the Near Fault Ground Motion affects the response of the structure. Considering the general characteristic of Near Fault Ground Motion the characteristics of Near Fault Ground Motions is analysed by elastic response spectrums, and the inelastic response spectrum is evaluated with the ductility and the yield strength to consider the inelastic behavior which couldn't be simulated through the elastic response spectrum. The result of this study shows that the effect of Near Fault Ground Motion should be considered in the long period range of long span structures but the domestic seismic design code was developed based on Far Fault Ground Motions, so the effects of Near Fault Ground Motions, which is very serious especially in large structures with a long period, are not considered. Therefore, the effect of the Near Fault Ground Motion has to be examined especially in the seismic performance evaluation of long period structure.

In the finite element modelling of long-span cable-stayed bridges, there are a lot of uncertainties brought about by the complex structural configuration, material behaviour, boundary conditions, structural connections, etc. In order to reduce the discrepancies between the theoretical finite element model and the actual static and dynamic behaviour, updating is indispensable after establishment of the finite element model to provide a reliable baseline version for further analysis. Traditional sensitivity-based updating methods cannot support updating based on static and dynamic measurement data at the same time. The finite element model is required in every optimization iteration which limits the efficiency greatly. A convenient but accurate Kriging surrogate model for updating of the finite element model of cable-stayed bridge is proposed. First, a simple cable-stayed bridge is used to verify the method and the updating results of Kriging model are compared with those using the response surface model. Results show that Kriging model has higher accuracy than the response surface model. Then the method is utilized to update the model of a long-span cable-stayed bridge in Hong Kong. The natural frequencies are extracted using various methods from the ambient data collected by the Wind and Structural Health Monitoring System installed on the bridge. The maximum deflection records at two specific locations in the load test form the updating objective function. Finally, the fatigue lives of the structure at two cross sections are calculated with the finite element models before and after updating considering the mean stress effect. Results are compared with those calculated from the strain gauge data for verification.

Dynamic displacement of structures is an important index for in-service structural condition and behavior assessment, but accurate measurement of structural displacement for large-scale civil structures such as long-span bridges still remains as a challenging task. In this paper, a vision-based dynamic displacement measurement system with the use of digital image processing technology is developed, which is featured by its distinctive characteristics in non-contact, long-distance, and high-precision structural displacement measurement. The hardware of this system is mainly composed of a high-resolution industrial CCD (charge-coupled-device) digital camera and an extended-range zoom lens. Through continuously tracing and identifying a target on the structure, the structural displacement is derived through cross-correlation analysis between the predefined pattern and the captured digital images with the aid of a pattern matching algorithm. To validate the developed system, MTS tests of sinusoidal motions under different vibration frequencies and amplitudes and shaking table tests with different excitations (the El-Centro earthquake wave and a sinusoidal motion) are carried out. Additionally, in-situ verification experiments are performed to measure the mid-span vertical displacement of the suspension Tsing Ma Bridge in the operational condition and the cable-stayed Stonecutters Bridge during loading tests. The obtained results show that the developed system exhibits an excellent capability in real-time measurement of structural displacement and can serve as a good complement to the traditional sensors.

Long span arch structure is composed of arch as relatively flexible structure and column as relatively rigid structure. In this study, the characteristic of dynamic response is analyzed according to the natural frequency ratio between arch and columns. The result of analysis for arch as relatively vertical vibration mode is dominant, the influence of columns mainly appears at relatively high frequency band according to increase of 1st mode frequency in column. However, the dynamic characteristic of arch structure is expected to vary with not only frequency ratio but interaction between vibration modes of arch and columns.

파장 분할 다중 신호와 같은 대용량 광 신호를 장거리 전송하기 위하여 사용되는 MSSI (mid-span spectral inversion)와 분산 제어가 결합된 시스템에서의 융통적인 링크 구성을 제안하고 색 분산과 비선형 왜곡 보상 효과를 높일 수 있는 구체적 방법을 살펴보았다. 분산 제어 링크 구성의 융통성을 높이기 위해 제안된 분산 맵은 'random-inverse' 구조를 갖는다. 즉 광 위상 공액기까지의 전반 구획의 각 광성유 스팬의 RDPS는 랜덤하게 분포되고 후반 구획의 RDPS 분포는 전반 구획의 분포 패턴을 반전하는 구성의 분산 맵이다. 제안된 분산 맵은 RDPS의 랜덤 분포를 가지기는 하지만 결과적으로 광 위상 공액기를 중심으로 분산 프로파일이 대칭이 되는 점에 기인하여 왜곡 보상 효과가 개선되는 것을 확인하였다. 'random-inverse' 구조의 분산 맵에서 각 광섬유 스팬에 할당되는 RDPS의 크기가 큰 경우에서왜곡된 파장 분할 다중 신호의 보상 효과가 더욱커지는 것도 동시에 확인하였다.

스페이스 프레임 구조물은 연속체 쉘 구조물의 원리를 이용하여 매우 넓은 공간을 효과적 으로 덮을 수 있는 구조물이지만 뜀좌굴 및 분기좌굴 등과 같은 불안정거동은 돔형 구조물에서는 더욱 복잡하게 나타난다. 또한 붕괴메커니즘의 이론적 연구와 실험적 연구결과들 사이에서도 많은 차이를 보인다. 본 논문에서는 미적 효과가 크며 단층의 대공간을 확보하기에 적합한 돔형 공간 구조물의 구조 불안정 특성을 접선강성방정식을 이용하여 비선형 증분해석을 수행하고, Rise-span(${\mu}$)비 및 하중모드($R_L$)에 따른 임계점과 분기점의 특성을 돔형 공간구조물의 예제를 통해 고찰하였다. 여기서 불안정점은 증분해석과정을 통해서 예측할 수 있었으며, 예제에서 낮은 ${\mu}$에서는 전체좌굴이, 높은 ${\mu}$의 경우는 절점좌굴이 지배적이며, 낮은 $R_L$에서 정점좌굴이, 높은 $R_L$에서는 전체좌굴이 지배적이고, 전체좌굴이 나타나는 경우, 분기좌굴하중은 완전형상의 극한점좌굴하중의 약 50%에서 70%의 분포를 보였다.
