The residual capacity against collapse of a main shock-damaged bridge can be coupled with the aftershock ground motion hazard to make an objective decision on its probability of collapse in aftershocks. In this paper, a steel tower suspension bridge with a main span of 2000 m is adopted for a case-study. Seismic responses of the bridge in longitudinal and transversal directions are analyzed using dynamic elasto-plastic finite displacement theory. The analysis is conducted in two stages: main shock and aftershocks. The ability of the main shock-damaged bridge to resist aftershocks is discussed. Results show that the damage caused by accumulated plastic strain can be ignored in the long-span suspension bridge. And under longitudinal and transversal seismic excitations, the damage is prone to occur at higher positions of the tower and the shaft-beam junctions. When aftershocks are not large enough to cause plastic strain in the structure, the aftershock excitation can be ignored in the seismic damage analysis of the bridge. It is also found that the assessment of seismic damage can be determined by superposition of damage under independent action of seismic excitations.

In this study steel box girders used as main members of a two span continuous steel bridge, are optimally designed by a Load and Resistance Factor Design method(LRFD) using an numerical optimization method. The width, height, web thickness and flange thickness of the main girder are set as design variables, and light weight design is attempted by choosing the cross-sectional area as an object function. We studied the results of steel box girders and compared with those of 1-type girders. The main program is coded with C++ and connected with optimization modul ADS. which is coded with FORTRAN.

인천항의 송도 신도시와 영종도 인천국제공항을 이어주는 제2연륙교 건설사업이 1999년 민간제안사업으로 정부에 제안되어 3차례에 걸친 동항 안전성 연구에도 불구하고 적정 교각폭이 결정되지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 인천항의 제2연륙교 설치시 왕복동항이 가능한 교각폭으로 설계한 경우를 대비하여 10,000G/T이상 선박이 일방동항으로 항로폭을 설계할 경우의 항만운용효율 변화 및 경제성을 분석하고자 한다. 연구결과, 제2연륙교 항로의 왕복통항대비 10,000G/T 이상 일방동항시 제2연륙교 주경간 항로에서의 총대기시간은 2011년도에 20,362 시간, 2020년에는 24,544으로 평가되었다. 따라서 10,000G/T이상 선박의 일방동항에 따른 체선${\cdot}$체화비용으로 2011년에 약197억원, 2020년에는 233억이 될 것으로 추정되므로 제2연륙교가 완공될 2008년부터 2040년까지의 33년간의 총 체선${\cdot}$체화비용은 약7,689역원으로 평가되었다.

다경간 현수교란 3개 이상의 주탑을 가지는 현수교로 중앙부에 주 경간을 2개 이상 가지는 현수교이다. 다경간 현수교 설계시 중앙주탑과 측주탑의 적절한 강성비를 가지도록 설계하는 것이 경제성이나 구조적인 효율성 측면에서 중요하다. 본 연구는 다경간 현수교의 중앙주탑과 측주탑의 적절한 강성비를 찾기 위해 다경간 현수교의 거동을 용이하게 파악할 수 있는 간편한 방법을 제안하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 그 방법으로 다경간 현수교의 주케이블을 등가의 케이블 스프링으로 이상화하고, 주케이블에 작용하는 장력을 주탑상단에 수평력과 수직력의 외력으로 치환시키는 방법으로 다경간 현수교를 등가 다경간 현수교 모델로 치환하였다. 등가 다경간 현수교 모델에 대한 평형방정식을 유도하고 비선형해석을 통해 방정식의 해를 구하였다. 중앙지간장 3,000m의 4경간 현수교의 FEM 해석을 통해 각 주탑에서 발생하는 변위와 모멘트 반력을 계산하고, 이 결과를 등가 4경간 현수교 모델의 해석결과와 비교하여 본 연구의 연구결과를 검증하였다. 검증 결과, 본 연구의 제안방법은 FEM 해석결과와 비슷한 경향을 나타내었다.

Design of Dangsan Steel Railway Bridge(a part of Seoul Subway Line NO. 2), which is supposed to be replaced after its 15years survice, was done, and the reconstruction has begun in Dec. 1997. The design include new superstruc-ture and bridge piers, retrofitting of the foun-dation, rail system, electric and signal, etc. In this paper, design of the structure is mainly summarized. The main span superstructure, across Han river, is composite section which is com-posed of steel box and reinforced concrete deck slab with 9 span continuous. The superstructure for the approaches is bottom througth type 2-cell steel box girder with steel floor system and concrete deck slab with 3 or 4 span continuous. The bridge piers was planned to be reconstructed based upon the result from the various investi-gations, while the foundation(cassion and pile foundation) was planned to be retrofitted. For superstructure erection, the method of combination of barge bent and heavy lifting and the launching truss method was investigated for the main span and approach spans, respectively.

By using the nonlinear aerostatic stability theory together with the method of mean wind decomposition, a method for nonlinear aerostatic stability analysis is proposed for long-span suspension bridges under yaw wind. A corresponding program is developed considering static wind load nonlinearity and structural nonlinearity. Taking a suspension bridge with three towers and double main spans as an example, the full range aerostatic instability is analyzed under wind at different attack angles and yaw angles. The results indicate that the lowest critical wind speed of aerostatic instability is gained when the initial yaw angle is greater than $0^{\circ}$, which suggests that perhaps yaw wind poses a disadvantage to the aerostatic stability of a long span suspension bridge. The results also show that the main span in upstream goes into instability first, and the reason for this phenomenon is discussed.

The Maanshan Bridge over Yangtze River in China is a new long-span suspension bridge with double main spans of $2{\times}1080m$ and a closed streamline cross-section of single box deck. The flutter and buffeting performances were investigated via wind tunnel tests of a full bridge aeroelastic model at a geometric scale of 1:211. The tests were conducted in both smooth wind and simulated boundary layer wind fields. Emphasis is placed on studying the interference effect of adjacent span via installing a wind deflector and a wind separating board to shelter one span of the bridge model from incoming flow. Issues related to effects of mid-tower stiffness and deck supporting conditions are also discussed. The testing results show that flutter critical wind velocities in smooth flow, with a wind deflector, are remarkably lower than those without. In turbulent wind, torsional and vertical standard deviations for the deck responses at midspan in testing cases without wind deflector are generally less than those at the midspan exposed to wind in testing cases with wind deflector, respectively. When double main spans are exposed to turbulent wind, the existence of either span is a mass damper to the other. Furthermore, both effects of mid-tower stiffness and deck supporting conditions at the middle tower on the flutter and buffeting performances of the Maanshan Bridge are unremarkable.

The flutter reliability analysis of long span bridges requires use of a software tool that predicts the uncertainty in a flutter response due to uncertainties in the model formulation and input parameters. Existing flutter analysis numerical codes are not capable of dealing with stochastic uncertainty in the analysis of long span bridges. The goal of the present work is to develop a software tool (FREASB) to enable designers to efficiently and accurately conduct flutter reliability analysis of long span bridges. The FREASB interfaces an open-source Matlab toolbox for structural reliability analysis (FERUM) with a typical deterministic flutter analysis code. The paper presents a brief introduction to the generalized first-order reliability method implemented in FREASB and key steps involved in coupling it with a typical deterministic flutter analysis code. A numerical example concerning flutter reliability analysis of a long span suspension bridge with a main span of 1385 m is presented to demonstrate the application and effectiveness of the methodology and the software.

In this paper, the contents of numerical in the innovative tender design of the super long-span suspension bridge to be constructed between Myodo and are introduced. The total span length of the bridge, of which the main span is the third in the world so far, reaches 2,260km, and the has the floating type girder which has no vertical points at pylon. Judging from the condition of navigation, wind climate on, and construction cost, it is inevitable to make the central span 1,545m and to the technical level applied to the structural components in the existing suspension system. To realize the innovative super long-span suspension bridge, the close numerical investigations for the structural capacity, aerodynamic serviceability, and dynamic serviceability are carried out by various tools of computational mechanics.

인천항의 송도 신도시와 영종도 인천국제공항을 이어주는 제2연륙교 건설사업이 1999년 민간제안사업으로 정부에 제안되어 3차례에 걸쳐 실시된 선박의 통항 안전성에 관한 연구에도 불구하고 적정 교각폭이 결정되지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 인천항의 장래 교통량의 측면과 최대선형의 선박 조종성 측면에서 소요 교각폭을 산정함을 목적으로 하고 있다. 연구결과, 제2연륙교 주경간 항로는 교통량 수용을 위하여 기본적으로 왕복항로 설계가 필요하며, 2020년 교통량 수용을 위한 소요 교각폭은 1,005m, 최대선형의 왕복통항을 위한 소요 교각폭은 990m로 산정되어 1,000m 교각폭이 장래 교통량 수용 및 최대선형의 안전한 왕복통항이 가능한 것으로 평가되었고, 700m 교각폭은 최대선형의 일방통항은 가능하나 최대선형과 일반 중${\cdot}$소형선박과의 왕복통항은 안전성이 확보되지 아니한 것으로 평가되었다.
