This study was to compare the patients wearing comfortable distally extending cantilever bridges (DECBs) with those having discomfortable ones, in the aspect of the periodontal condition & prosthodontic status. The subjects in the present study were 164 patients appointed to Seoul National University Dental Hospital. One group was consisted of 101 patients wearing comfortable DECBs and the other group were made of 64 patients who had felt discomfort. On clinical parameters, there were no significant difference between 2 groups in plaque index, tooth mobility & probing depth, but gingival index was higher in group wearing discomfortable DECBs. In prosthodontic status, the ratio of pontic oversize was higher in the group of discomfortable DECBs, but there were no significant difference in the view of crown overcontour, overhanging margin & interproximal space closure between 2groups. This study failed to clarify causal factors of discomfortable DECBs.

Seohae Grand Bridge is a part of the new West Coast Highway(353km) under construction, which connects Inchon and Mokpo. It is the longest bridge in Korea (7.31 km), and has 97 spans of 60m each precast segmental approach bridges, 2 main spans of 165m each free cantilever segmental bridge(500m), and 1 stay cable bridge of 990m In total length. During the seven year long construction period, many new construction technologies and methods were utilized for the first time in Korea, and gave invaluable opportunities to experience and master these in completing the project on time with safety and precision. I am proud of being a member of this project, and wish to express deep appreciations to those who participated in the project.

A new type bridge combining an integral bridge and a pair of geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) retaining walls having full-height rigid (FHR) facings, called the GRS integral bridge, is proposed. The geosynthetic reinforcement layers are connected to the FHR facings (i.e., RC parapets) that are integrated with a girder without using any girder-support. GRS integral bridges are basically much more cost-effective in construction and long-term maintenance while having a much higher seismic stability than conventional-type bridges having a girder via movable and fixed supports on a pair of cantilever abutments. GRS integral bridges are better than bridges using GRS retaining walls as abutments and also than conventional integral bridges with unreinforced backfill. To validate the above, a series of static cyclic lateral loading tests of the facing and a series of shaking table tests were performed on smallscaled models of different bridge types.

The bridge deck section composed of a concrete slab resting on two I-beam girders are known to be susceptible to flutter instability and vortex shedding. Moreover, the cable stayed bridge in construction is more vulnerable to wind rather than in service when the free cantilever construction method is applied. This paper describes the effect of the dynamic wind loads on the bridge during construction and the effect of alternative temporary stabilizing measures. Therefore, a series of wind tunnel tests and numerical analysis were carried out to determine if any countermeasures were required.

일반적으로 사장교와 같은 장대교량은 완성 후에 비하여 시공 중 바람에 흔들리기 쉬어 내풍 안정성 문제가 발생하는 경우가 많다. 완공상태에서 충분한 내풍안정성을 확보하고 있더라도 시공단계에서는 설계풍속 이하에서 플러터 등의 공기역학적 진동현상 이 발생하는 경우가 많기 때문에 가설공법이 결정되면 반드시 풍동실험을 능한 적절한 제진 대책 안을 입안해 두어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 가설단계를 고려한 3차원 전교모형실험을 통하여 주경간이 500m인 사장교의 공기역학적 거동을 살펴보았다. 작업 중에 안정성 확보가 중요한 밸런스드 캔틸레버 상태인 가설단계 50% 에서 내풍케이블 및 가설벤트를 이용한 4가지 제진 대책방안을 수립하여 각각에 대하여 내풍 안정성을 검토하였다. 각 설치방안 별 제진효과를 서로 비교 분석하여 검토 범위 내에서 사장교 시공 중 가장 효율적인 임시 제진방안을 제시하였다. 추가적으로 밸런스드 캔틸레버 상태와의 내풍안정성을 비교하기 위하여 완성계와 제진 대책이 없는 주경간 폐합전의 프리캔틸레버 상태에 대하여 살펴보았다.

Prestressed concrete(PSC) bridge structures with a number of continuous spans has been segmentally built in many countries. These methods include incremental launching method, movable scaffolding method, full staging method and balanced cantilever method. In these segmentally constructed prestressed concrete bridges, many construction joints exist and these construction joints are weak points in PSC bridges. The prestress force can be introduced prestress force continuously through the construction joints of PSC bridge superstructure using tendon couplers. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the structural behavior and ultimate flexural strength of construction joints in PSC girder bridge members. To this end, a comprehensive experimental program has been set up and a series of full-scale tests have been performed. Ultimate flexural strength of construction joint in PSC members with tendon couplers is decreased by approximately 10% for non-coupled members.

Vibration-based structural identification has become an important tool for structural health monitoring and safety evaluation. However, various kinds of uncertainties (e.g., observation noise) involved in the field test data obstruct automation system identification for accurate and fast structural safety evaluation. A practical way including a data preprocessing procedure and a vector backward auto-regressive (VBAR) method has been investigated for practical bridge identification. The data preprocessing procedure serves to improve the data quality, which consists of multi-level uncertainty mitigation techniques. The VBAR method provides a determinative way to automatically distinguish structural modes from extraneous modes arising from uncertainty. Ambient test data of a cantilever beam is investigated to demonstrate how the proposed method automatically interprets vibration data for structural modal estimation. Especially, structural identification of a truss bridge using field test data is also performed to study the effectiveness of the proposed method for real bridge identification.

The effect of a partially earth anchored cable system on the structural safety of a long span cable-stayed bridge under seismic and wind loads are examined during construction process. By assuming the FCM (free cantilever method) construction stages with structural vulnerability, a multi-mode spectral analysis and a multi-mode buffeting analysis are performed for specific seismic load and wind load, respectively. Results show that the wind load dominates the structural safety of a cable-stayed bridge during construction. And, the application of a partially earth anchored cable system can enhance structural safety under wind load since the maximum pylon moment in the model with partially earth anchored cable system is reduced by 49% under wind load. In contrast, the maximum pylon moment occurred by seismic load is only decreased by 8%.

The jacking of cantilever before key segment closure has been introduced to offset the long term forces caused by creep and shrinkage. In this paper, the behavior of structural system with the jacking force in approach bridge of Incheon Bridge was reviewed. The introduction of jacking force effectively offset the long term horizontal forces and allows economic substructure member design.

변단면을 갖는 FCM(Free Cantilever Method) 교량의 초기 설계단계에서 설계변경에 따른 반복적 작업에 대한 효율성 향상을 위하여 박스거더의 종방향 형상을 자동조정할 수 있도록 하는 파라메트릭 모델링 방법을 연구하였다. FCM 교량의 종방향 형상을 표현하기 위한 매개변수를 정의하였으며, 기존 FCM 교량의 설계 시 적용된 매개변수의 통계치 적용을 통해 매개변수들 간의 내재적, 외재적 구속조건 및 함수관계를 정의하였다. 정의한 구속조건 및 관계를 적용한 파라메트릭 모델링 구현을 통해 그 적용 가능성을 검증하였으며, 기존 설계된 교량을 대상으로 파라메트릭 모델링을 수행한 결과로 생성된 3차원 교량 모델의 콘크리트 물량과 대상교량의 설계문서 상의 물량 비교를 통해 모델의 정확성을 확인하였다.
