내구성과 미관성이 우수한 석조 아치교량은 단경간 교량으로서 가장 오래되고 경험적으로 시공되었던 구조물로서 유럽에서는 지금까지도 현장에 시공되고 있으며, 이에 대한 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 국내에서는 시공법의 비효율성과 비경제성으로 인해 교량 목적으로 시공되는 경우는 거의 없는 상태이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존 연구자들이 제안한 시스템에서 구조성능의 향상이 가능한 보강된 이음부의 접합방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 이음부는 횡방향 루프이음과 종방향 보강근을 적용한 형식으로 프리캐스트 콘크리트 블록으로 이루어진 아치에 적용하여 실험을 통해서 구조적 성능을 평가하였다. 실험결과, 보강된 이음부는 소량의 보강근으로도 블록 상호 간의 상대변위와 힌지거동을 억제시켜 기존의 형식보다 충분한 내력을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In tied-arch bridges, the way the arch and the deck are connected may become crucial. The deck is usually suspended from hangers made out of steel pinned cables capable of resisting axial forces only. However, a proper structural response may be ensured by fixing and stiffening the hangers in order to resist, additionally, shear forces and bending moments. Thus, this paper studies the effect of different pinned and stiffened hanger arrangements on the structural behavior of the tied-arch bridges, with the intention of providing designers with useful tools at the early steps of design. Longitudinally and transversally stiffened hangers (and the effect of hinges at the hangers and their locations) are studied separately because the in-plane and the out-of-plane behavior of the bridge are uncoupled due to its symmetry. As a major conclusion, regarding the in-plane behavior, hangers composed of cables (either with vertical, $Nielsen-L\ddot{o}hse$ or network arrangements) are recommended due to its low cost and ease of erection. Alternatively, longitudinally stiffened hangers, fixed at both ends, can be used. Regarding the out-of-plane behavior, and in addition to three-dimensional arrangements of cables, of limited effectiveness, transversally stiffened hangers fixed at both ends are the most efficient arrangement. A configuration almost as efficient and, additionally, cheaper and easier to build can be achieved by locating a hinge at the end corresponding to the most flexible structural element (normally the arch). Its efficiency is further improved if the cross-section tapers from the fixed end to the pinned end.

In this paper, it is aimed to investigate the restoration effect on the structural behavior of masonry arch bridges. Dandalaz masonry arch bridge located on the 4km east of Karacasu town of Aydin, Turkey is selected as a numerical example. The construction year of the bridge is not fully known, but the bridge is dated back to 15th century. Considering the current situation, it can be easily seen that the structural elements such as arch, side walls and timber blocks are heavily damaged and the bridge is unserviceable. Firstly finite element model of the bridge is constituted to reflect the current situation (before restoration) using building survey drawings. After, restoration project is explained and finite element model is reconstituted (after restoration). The structural responses of the bridge are obtained before and after restoration under dead load, live load and dynamic earthquake loads. For both conditions, maximum displacements, maximum-minimum principal stresses and maximum-minimum elastic strains are given with detail using contours diagrams and compared with each other to determine the restoration effect. From the study, it can be seen that the maximum internal forces are consisted under dynamic loads before and after restoration. Also, the restoration projects and studies have important and positive effects on the structural response of the bridge to transfer these structures to future.

The structural design of arch roofs or bridges requires the analysis of their unstable behaviors depending on certain parameters defined in the arch shape. Their maintenance should estimate the parameters from observed data. However, since the critical parameters exist in the equilibrium paths of the arch, and a small change in such the parameters causes a significant change in their behaviors. Thus, estimation to find the critical ones should be carried out using a global search algorithm. In this paper we study the parameter estimation for a shallow arch by a quantum-inspired evolution algorithm. A cost functional to estimate the system parameters included in the arch consists of the difference between the observed signal and the estimated signal of the arch system. The design variables are shape, external load and damping constant in the arch system. We provide theoretical and numerical examples for estimation of the parameters from both contaminated data and pure data.

아치교량의 미관과 경제성을 고려할 때 가장 중요한 요소가 라이즈 비 이며, 이러한 라이즈 비를 결정하는데 있어 현재는 자중에 의한 영향만을 고려하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 아치교량의 라이즈 비 검토시 현재 고려하고 있는 자중에 의한 영향뿐만 아니라 최근 중요시 되고 있는 지진하중에 대한 동적안정성 문제를 라이즈 비 결정인자로 추가하여 자중에 의한 라이즈 비 결정이 가지고 있는 문제점에 대하여 검토하였다. 그 결과 라이즈 비 선정시 지진하중에 대한 동적안정성은 필히 고려되어야 할 것으로 판단되었다.

본 연구에서는 열차하중에 의한 아치교량의 처짐, 변형률이력곡선, 진동가속도와 같은 동적거동특성을 파악하기 위하여 동적주행시험을 실시하였다. 동적주행시험의 계측결과는 실 제원을 바탕으로 형상화 된 구조해석모델의 시간이력 및 고유치해석과의 비교를 통해 구조해석모델의 타당성을 검증하는데 이용되었다. 검증된 구조해석모델의 공진 검토결과, 주파수 일치에 의한 공진의 경우 가진 진동수와 고유진동수비가 ${1{\pm}0.04}$의 공진영향범위에서 벗어나도록 하는 것이 필요하다 판단된다. 또한 속도매개변수에 의한 공진의 경우 2차 모드 진동수는 아치교량의 동적거동에 크게 영향을 미치며 아치리브와 관련된 형고비, 라이즈비, 폭, 두께 등의 형상 매개변수 조절을 통해 실 운행속도대역 이상으로 부임계속도를 변화시킴으로서 아치교량의 동적거동을 안정화시킬 수 있었다.

우리나라의 석조문화재를 모델링할 때 불연속면을 갖는 구조재의 강성을 어떻게 규명하느냐가 매우 중요하지만 원형보존을 해야 하는 문화재의 특성상 이를 파악하기란 매우 곤란하다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 비파괴조사를 이용하여 고유진동수를 측정한 후, 시행착오법을 이용하여 측정된 고유진동수와 컴퓨터 모델링 결과 파악된 고유진동수를 비교함으로써 불연속면의 강성, 구조재의 탄성계수 등 홍예교를 이루는 재료의 구조적 물성을 추정함으로써 컴퓨터 모델링을 하는 방법을 제시하고 홍예교량의 동적특성에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하였다. 연구결과 무사석 및 적심석의 강성이 홍예교의 동적특성에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다.

Now, a long span and special types of steel deck bridges like as suspention or cable state bridges are increasing and Guss Asphalt used in pavement. But Guss Asphalt may caused severe stress and displacement of the bridge as it is treated using very high temperature ranging from $220^{\circ}C\;to\;260^{\circ}C$. In this paper, a series of numerical tests of a steel deck box arch bridge were conducted to estimate the thermal effect of a steel deck bridge according to temperature changes.

Compared with the highway bridges, the relatively higher requirement on the safety and comfort of vehicle makes the high-speed railway (HSR) bridges need to present enhanced dynamic performance. To this end, installing a health monitor system (HMS) on selected key HSR bridges has been widely applied. Typically, the HSR takes fully enclosed operation model and its skylight time is very short, which means that it is not easy to operate the acquisition devices and download data on site. However, current HMS usually involves manual operations, which makes it inconvenient to be used for the HSR. Hence, a HMS named DASP-MTS (Data Acquisition and Signal Processing - Monitoring Test System) that integrates the internet, cloud computing (CC) and virtual instrument (VI) techniques, is developed in this study. DASP-MTS can realize data acquisition and transmission automatically. Furthermore, the acquired data can be timely shared with experts from various locations to deal with the unexpected events. The system works in a Browser/Server frame so that users at any places can obtain real-time data and assess the health situation without installing any software. The developed integrated HMS has been applied to the Xijiang high-speed railway arch bridge. Preliminary analysis results are presented to demonstrate the efficacy of the DASP-MTS as applied to the HSR bridges. This study will provide a reference to design the HMS for other similar bridges.

In this paper a limit analysis based procedure for the rapid evaluation of the in-plane seismic capacity of masonry arch bridges is carried out. Attention has been paid to the effect of the backfill on the collapse load. A parametric investigation has been performed by varying the rise/span ratio and the results have been compared with those obtained by finite element modelling. The comparison highlights the conservative feature of the proposed model in terms of ultimate loads and a good agreement in terms of collapse mechanisms.
