In this study, hybrid smart sensor nodes were developed for the autonomous structural health monitoring of prestressed concrete (PSC) girders. In order to achieve the objective, the following approaches were implemented. First, we show how two types of smart sensor nodes for the hybrid health monitoring were developed. One was an acceleration-based smart sensor node using an MEMS accelerometer to monitor the overall damage in concrete girders. The other was an impedance-based smart sensor node for monitoring the local damage in prestressing tendons. Second, a hybrid monitoring algorithm using these smart sensor nodes is proposed for the autonomous structural health monitoring of PSC girders. Finally, we show how the performance of the developed system was evaluated using a lab-scaled PSC girder model for which dynamic tests were performed on a series of prestress-loss cases and girder damage cases.

One and three dimensional whipping response analyses of a naval surface combatant subjected to an underwater explosion bubble pulse were carried out to compare the efficiency and accuracy according to the modeling methods. In 1-D analysis, program UNDEXWHIP developed by KIMM was used, which is based on the thin-walled Timoshenko's beam theory and on the modal analysis method using wetted vibratory modes of the hull girder. In 3-D analysis, three finite element models were suggested using LS-DYNA/USA code, such as 3-D beam model considering geometric shape of wetted side shell, coarse and fine 3-D F.E. models. Through the comparison of results from the 1-D and 3-D analyses, it could be confirmed that 1-D analysis result is in good agreement with 3-D analysis ones, and that fine 3-D F.E. model, shock analysis one, is also used both in the shock response and whipping response analyses for the analyst effort and time savings.

A bridge widening technology using steel-concrete composite system was developed and is presented in this paper. The widened superstructure system consists of a newly built composite steel-concrete girder with concrete deck and steel diaphragms attached to the existing concrete girders. This method has been applied in several bridge widening projects in China, and one of those projects is presented in detail. Due to the higher stiffness-to-weight ratio and the rapid erection of composite girders, this widening method reveals benefits in both mechanical performance and construction. As only a few methods for the design of bridges with different types of girders are recommended in current design codes, a more accurate analytical method of estimating live load distribution on girder bridges was developed. In the analytical model, the effects of span length, girder pacing, diaphragms, concrete decks were considered, as well as the torsional and flexural stiffness of both composite box girders and concrete T girders. The study shows that the AASHTO LRFD specification procedures and the analytical models proposed in this paper closely approximate the live load distribution factors determined by finite element analysis. A parametric study was also conducted using the finite element method to evaluate the potential load carrying capacities of the existing concrete girders after widening.

The moving load causes the occurrence of vibrations in civil engineering structures such as bridges, railway lines, bridge cranes and others. A novel engineering method for separation of the variables in the differential equation of the elastic line of Bernoulli-Euler beam has been developed. The method can be utilized in engineering structures, leading to "a beam under moving load model" with generalized boundary conditions. This method has been implemented for analytical study of the dynamic response of the metal structure of a single girder bridge crane due to the telpher movement along the bridge girder. The modeled system includes: a crane bridge girder; a telpher, moving with a constant horizontal velocity; a load, elastically fixed to the telpher. The forced vibrations with their own frequencies and with a forced frequency, due to the telpher movement, have been analyzed. The loading resulting from the telpher uniform movement along the bridge girder is cyclical, which is a prerequisite for nucleation and propagation of fatigue cracks. The concept of "dynamic coefficient" has been introduced, which is defined as a ratio of the dynamic deflection of the bridge girder due to forced vibrations, to the static one. This ratio has been compared with the known from the literature empirical dynamic coefficient, which is due to the telpher track unevenness. The introduced dynamic coefficient shows larger values and has to be taken into account for engineering calculations of the bridge crane metal structure. In order to verify the degree of approximation, the obtained results have been compared with FEM outcomes. An additional comparison has been made with the exact solution, proposed by Timoshenko, for the case of simply supported beam subjected to a moving force. The comparisons show a good agreement.

본 연구에서는 단재하경로 구조로 인식되는 2-거더교에서 한 개 거더의 손상 시 여유도를 평가하기 위한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 실험변수는 하부 수평브레이싱으로 하여 하부 수평브레이싱이 설치된 경우와 설치되지 않은 경우의 단경간 1/5 모형 시험체 2개를 제작하였다. 먼저 균열이 없는 정상상태 시험체에 대해서 탄성범위 내에서 재하실험을 수행하였으며, 이후 지간 중앙부의 한 개 거더에 인위적인 손상을 가한 후 종국상태에 이르기까지 재하 실험을 수행하였다. 실험으로부터 정상상태의 교량에서도 수평브레이싱은 하중 재분배 역할을 수행하였으며, 한 개 거더에 심각한 손상이 발생한 경우에는 가로보와 바닥판이 비균열 거더 측으로 하중 재분배 기능을 일부 수행하였으나, 특히 하부 수평브레이싱은 2-거더교의 손상 시 여유도 향상에 매우 중요한 기능을 하는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 개구제형 트윈 거더 교량의 곡률에 따른 상부수평브레이싱 부재력 산정식의 적절성 및 적용성을 검토하였다. 이를 위해 3경간 연속교를 대상으로 곡률반경을 50m에서 1,200m로 변화시켜 상부수평브레이싱의 부재력 산정식과 3차원 유한요소해석을 통한 부재력을 비교하였다. 그리하여 상부수평브레이싱의 공칭부재력을 계산할 수 있는 보정계수를 제안하였다. 특히 상부수평브레이싱 수직재 부재력 산정식은 3차원 유한요소해석결과와 잘 부합하지 않는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 가로보의 유무에 따른 교축직각방향 강성의 영향이라 판단된다. 그리고 사재와 수직재의 휨, 비틀림, 뒤틀림 및 수평분력의 영향을 곡률별로 도식화하여 나타내었다.

Micromirrors supported by S-shape girders were fabricated and their angular deflections were measured using a laser-based system. A micromirror consists of a $50\mum\times50\mum$ aluminum plate, posts and an S-shape girder. Two electrodes were deposited on two corners of the substrate beneath the mirror plate. $50\times50$micromirror array were fabricated using the Al-MEMS process. The electrostatic force caused by the voltage difference between the mirror plate and one of the electrodes causes the mirror plate to tilt until the girder touches the substrate. Bial voltage of the mirror plate is between 25~35V and signal pulse voltage on both electrodes is $\pm5V$. A laser-based system capable of real-time two-dimensional angular deflection measurement of the micromirror was developed. The operation of the system is based on measuring the displacement of a HeNe laser beam reflecting off the micromirror. The resonant frequency of the micromirror is 50kHz when the girder touches the substrate and it is 25 when the micromirror goes back to flat position, since the moving mass is about twice of the former case. The measurement results also revealed that the micromirror slants to the other direction even after the girder touches the substrate.

The aim of this paper concerns with the nonlinear analysis of cable-stayed bridges including the vibration effect of cable stays. Two models for the cable stay system are built up in the study. One is the OECS (one element cable system) model in which one single element per cable stay is used and the other is MECS (multi-elements cable system) model, where multi-elements per cable stay are used. A finite element computation procedure has been set up for the nonlinear analysis of such kind of structures. For shape finding of the cable-stayed bridge with MECS model, an efficient computation procedure is presented by using the two-loop iteration method (equilibrium iteration and shape iteration) with help of the catenary function method to discretize each single cable stay. After the convergent initial shape of the bridge is found, further analysis can then be performed. The structural behaviors of cable-stayed bridges influenced by the cable lateral motion will be examined here detailedly, such as the static deflection, the natural frequencies and modes, and the dynamic responses induced by seismic loading. The results show that the MECS model offers the real shape of cable stays in the initial shape, and all the natural frequencies and modes of the bridge including global modes and local modes. The global mode of the bridge consists of coupled girder, tower and cable stays motion and is a coupled mode, while the local mode exhibits only the motion of cable stays and is uncoupled with girder and tower. The OECS model can only offers global mode of tower and girder without any motion of cable stays, because each cable stay is represented by a single straight cable (or truss) element. In the nonlinear seismic analysis, only the MECS model can offer the lateral displacement response of cable stays and the axial force variation in cable stays. The responses of towers and girders of the bridge determined by both OECS- and MECS-models have no great difference.

교량의 여유도는 주부재의 손상시 하중을 지탱할 수 있는 능력으로서 거더 개수, 지간, 형고, 내부지점, 부부재 등의 다양한 인자가 영향을 미치게 된다. 그러나, AASHTO 및 국내 도로교설계기준과 같은 현행 규정에서는 교량의 여유도를 단지 주거더의 개수로만 정의하고 있고, 그 평가 방법 및 요구 수준은 아직 제시되지 않고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 플레이트거더교를 대상으로 심각한 피로손상이 발생한 경우 주요 인자들을 고려하고 신뢰도 기법에 기반하여 교량의 여유도 평가 기법을 제안하였다. 또한, LRFD법 기반의 기준 교량에 대해 손상 시 내하력 해석과 신뢰성 해석을 수행하여 여유도의 요구 수준을 목표 시스템 신뢰도 지수 형태로 제안하였다. 마지막으로 현행 ASD법으로 설계된 단순 및 연속 플레이트거더교의 거더 수에 따른 여유도 수준을 평가 제시하였다.
