  • 사회 기반 특수 시설로서 케이블을 이용한 현수교는 완공 후에 일반적인 교량 보다 더 신중한 안전점검 및 유지관리가 필요하다. 그러나, 교량의 설계 및 유지관리를 위한 구조해석은 구조체의 단순화된 기하학적 형상만을 고려하고 있다. 특히 강상판을 포함한 교량 구조물의 해석 모델링은 쉽지 않다. 본 논문에서는 완성계 현수교에 대한 행거 부재의 고유진동수와 전산해석을 통해 구조적 거동과 성능을 평가하였다. 전산해석의 정확도를 높이기 위해 해석 모델에 뼈대 구조물과 강상판을 고려하였다. 또한, 측정된 행거 장력과 상시 진동시에 측정된 구조물의 고유진동수 및 차량 재하시험 결과를 해석에 적용하였다. 결과로서, 제안된 알고리즘에 의한 예상 구조거동은 실제 구조물에서 측정된 자료와 매우 유사한 결과를 보였다. 또한, 내륙에 상륙한 태풍 매미에 의해 측정된 자료를 적용한 결과, 해석모델이 구조물의 예비설계 및 유지관리에 효과적으로 적용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

  • Bridge hangers, such as those in suspension and cable-stayed bridges, suffer from cumulative fatigue damage caused by dynamic loads (e.g., cyclic traffic and wind loads) in their service condition. Thus, the identification of damage to hangers is important in preserving the service life of the bridge structure. This study develops a new method for condition assessment of bridge hangers. The tension force of the bridge and the damages in the element level can be identified using the Bayesian optimization method. To improve the number of observed data, the additional mass method is combined the Bayesian optimization method. Numerical studies are presented to verify the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method. The influence of different acquisition functions, which include expected improvement (EI), probability-of-improvement (PI), lower confidence bound (LCB), and expected improvement per second (EIPC), on the identification of damage to the bridge hanger is studied. Results show that the errors identified by the EI acquisition function are smaller than those identified by the other acquisition functions. The identification of the damage to the bridge hanger with various types of boundary conditions and different levels of measurement noise are also studied. Results show that both the severity of the damage and the tension force can be identified via the proposed method, thereby verifying the robustness of the proposed method. Compared to the genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), and nonlinear least-square method (NLS), the Bayesian optimization (BO) performs best in identifying the structural damage and tension force.

  • This paper handles with effect of electromagnetic force on the cables by fault current accompanied by accident of underground transmission cable. Even though underground transmission cable is an essential transmission method to supply stable power for downtown and population center, interaction of electromagnetic force from fault current is very large comparing to overhead transmission line due to restricted installation space such as tunnel, etc. and close consideration is required for it. This paper describes the effect of electromagnetic force through results of three phase short-circuit test and electromagnetic force analysis using theoretical calculations and electrical evaluation test after three phase short-circuit test, which will be utilized as basic materials for improvement and development of cleat, hanger, etc. to reduce and release effect of electromagnetic force in the future.

  • In this paper, a modified and improved seismic isolation system called suspension columns for seismic isolation was investigated. An experimental study of the proposed isolation method, together with theoretical and numerical analyses, has thoroughly been conducted. In the proposed method, during the construction of the foundation, some cavities are created at the position of the columns inside the foundation and the columns are placed inside the cavities and hanged from the foundation by flexible cables rather being directly connected to the foundation. Since the columns are suspended and due to the gap between the columns and walls of the cavities, the structure is able to move freely to each side thus, the transmitted seismic actions are reduced. The main parameter of this isolation technique is the length of the suspension cable. As the cable length is changed, the natural frequency of the structure is also changed, thus, the desired frequency can be achieved by means of an appropriate cable length. As the experimental phase of the study, a steel frame structure with two floors was constructed and subjected to the acceleration of three earthquakes using a shaking table with different hanging cable lengths. The structural responses were recorded in terms of acceleration and relative displacement. The experimental results were compared to the theoretical and numerical ones, obtained from the MATLAB programming and the finite element software ABAQUS, showing a suitable agreement between them. The results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed isolation method in reducing the seismic effects on the structure.

  • 장대 아치교 설계 시 시공단계와 완성단계에서 발생할 수 있는 문제에 대하여 검토하고 있으나 케이블 손상에 대한 구조안전성 평가는 매우 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 공용 중 충돌사고로 인한 행어 파단 시 교량의 구조안전성을 분석하는 것을 연구 목적으로 한다. 이를 위하여 행어 파단에 따른 하중을 충격함수로 이상화하여 동적 해석을 수행하였다. 행어가 파단 되었을 경우 각 행어의 최대 장력은 파단된 행어와 인접한 행어에서 발생한 것으로 나타났으며 정적 하중보다 동적 하중에서 크게 나타났다. 그러므로 장대 아치교의 구조안전성을 확보하기 위해 행어 파단에 따른 충격하중을 동적 하중으로 고려한 해석이 필요하다. 또한 본 연구의 해석 방법 및 결과는 이후 아치교 설계 시 참고자료로 활용될 수 있다.

  • 현수교 주케이블은 완성시 교량의 구조적 건전성을 나타내는 중요한 지표이다. 주케이블은 가설완료시 자유 매달림(free hanging) 상태의 형상이 되며 교량완성시 행어, 보강형 등의 고정하중을 지지하여 가설완료시 형상과는 차이가 발생한다. 따라서, 주케이블의 가설완료시 형상이 교량완성시 형상에 직접적인 영향을 미치므로 가설중 형상관리가 매우 중요하다. 주케이블의 가설중 형상관리는 중앙 및 측경간은 새그조정으로, 정착경간은 장력조정으로 수행된다. 새그조정은 새그조절량에 대한 스트랜드 길이 조절량을 나타내는 산정값인 새그민감도가 필요하며 장력조정은 온도변화에 대한 장력변화량을 나타내는 장력민감도가 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 케이블 형상가정에 따라 유도된 기본식과 이로부터 도출된 미분 관계식으로부터 새그 및 장력민감도를 산정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 그리고, 다양한 새그변화 요인에 대해 현수선 기본식을 사용한 비선형 수치해석 새그민감도 계산 흐름도를 제안하여 미분관계식을 적용한 새그민감도 결과와 비교하였다. 또한, 각 새그변화 요인이 복합적으로 발생함으로 이를 고려하여 케이블의 최종 새그변화량을 산정하는 방법을 제안하였다. PPWS 공법으로 시공중인 실교량을 대상으로 PPWS의 길이변화 및 온도변화, 경간장변화 등의 다양한 시공여건의 변화에 따른 새그 및 장력민감도를 산정하였다. 본 연구내용이 주케이블 가설중 형상관리 방법에 대한 체계적인 지침이 되기를 바라며, 향후 실교 현장적용 및 실증에 의해 완성도를 높일 것이다.

  • 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.

  • 앵커리지 (Anchorage)가 주케이블을 지지하는 전형적인 현수교에서는 행거를 가설한 후에 보강형을 순차적으로 가설하기 때문에 시공시 행거에 별도의 긴장력이 필요없다. 이와는 달리 자정식 현수교는 가교각으로 보강형을 지지한 후 행거를 설치하게 된다. 따라서 행거 가설시 초기 긴장력을 가할 필요가 있으며 이 후 계속되는 시공과정에 의해 장력이 지속적으로 변화하게 된다. 따라서 행거의 가설방법을 변화시켜가며 이에 따른 행거장력의 변화 양상을 파악하여 가장 효율적으로 행거를 가설할 수 있는 방법을 결정할 필요가 있다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 해석적인 방법을 제시하였다. 현수교 시공의 진행에 따라 단계적으로 변화하는 구조계를 모사할 수 있는 사공단계해석 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 또한 자정식 현수교에서 발생할 수 있는 기하비선형 해석모델을 제시하였다. 실물 교량을 대상으로 제시된 해석방법에 따라 가장 효과적이라고 생각되는 시공방법을 제시하였다.

  • In this paper, a new system of seismic isolation for buildings - called suspended columns - is introduced. In this method, the building columns are placed on the hinged cradle seats instead of direct connection to the foundation. In this system, each of the columns is put on a seat hung from its surrounding area by a number of cables, for which cavities are created inside the foundation around the columns. Inside these cavities, the tensile cables are hung. Because of the flexibility of the cables, the suspended seats vibrate during an earthquake and as a result, there is less acceleration in the structure than the foundation. A Matlab code was written to analyze and investigate the response of the system against the earthquake excitations. The findings showed that if this system is used in a building, it results in a significant reduction in the acceleration applied to the structure. A shear key system was used to control the structure for service and lateral weak loads. Moreover, the effect of vertical acceleration on the seismic behavior of the system was also investigated. Effect of the earthquake characteristic period on the system performance was studied and the optimum length of the suspension cables for a variety of the period ranges was suggested. In addition, measures have been taken for long-term functioning of the system and some practical feasibility features were also discussed. Finally, the advantages and limitations of the system were discussed and compared with the other common methods of seismic isolation.
