Vibration isolation technology using an air spring and laminated rubber bearing is widely used because it has excellent vibration isolation characteristics. In the part of that, we usually make use of the self-damped air suing. It is occupied two chambers, restrictor, diaphragm and load plate. Two chambers contain compressed air and the volume of chambers and the area of load plate give a definition of stiffness and load. The restrictor and the volume ratio of two chambers give a definition of damping ratio. The conventional model of restrictor is made of one orifice and it causes turbulent flow in the orifice at the region of large deflection. The stillness of air suing is larger and the damping is lower in the region of large deflection. In the multi-orifice case, the stiffness is similar to air spring with one orifice but damping ratio is larger than conventional air spring. And damping ratio is smaller than conventional air suing in small deflection region. Deflection is small in the region of high frequency so small damping is better than large damping. As a result, we can reduce the storage stiffness of air suing in the wide region of deflection and increase the damping ratio in the region of large deflection. After this, we will try to and the relation of Reynolds Number and Flow Resistance then we are going to make another restrictor for air spring to improve damping ratio and stiffness.

최근 국내외에서 활발히 개발되고 있는 지진격리 시스템은 원자력 발전소, 교량, 중요한 공공건물 등의 지진피해를 최소화하기 이하여 널리 적용되고 있다. 그리고 다른 방법에 비하여 경제성 및 효율성이 우수하기 때문에 관련 연구 및 응용이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이에 따라 국내외에서 격리시스템의 비선형성과 구조물의 불연속성을 고려한 지진격리 구조물의 해석을 통한 거동을 규명하는 연구가 과거 수년간 활발히 진행되어 왔다. 당사(금호건설)는 상부하중 지지능력과 감쇠능력이 우수한 지진격리장치를 개발하였으며 지진격리장치를 설치한 교량의 지진해석을 수행하여 본 지진격리 시스템의 이론적 성능을 파악하였다. 본 수치해석은 CrayC94에 탑재된 비선형 해석에 뛰어난 것으로 알려진 ABAQU를 이용하였다. 본 지진격리 시스템은 적층고무받침(Laminated Rubber Bearing)과 PTFE 미끄럼받침으로 구성되어 있으며, 적층고무받침은 주로 복원력을 제공하며 PTFE 미끄럼받침은 상부하중을 지지하며 마찰감쇠를 제공하여 에너지를 소산하는 역할을 한다. 본 수치해석에서는 선형스프링과 마찰요소를 이용하여 각각을 모형화하였다. 개발된 지진격리 시스템이 주로 사용될 상판자중이 무거운 다경간 연속 PC Box Girder교를 모델교량으로 선택하여 해석을 수행하였으며 수치해석에 사용된 격리시스템의 사전에 수행된 동특성 실험결과를 활용하였다. 이러한 해석을 통하여 이론적 효율성을 파악할 수 있었다.

For the early seismic isolation design in Korea, foreign products of isolation bearings were used. But these days, the application of domestic products of isolation bearings is increasing. However various experimental studies can be found very seldom on the extreme and lonr term behaviors of isolation bearings. In this study, we considered the laminated rubber type isolation bearings that have many application cases in Korea and we evaluated their shear strength, long term characteristics such as aging and creep affecting shear strength of bearings in long term period. For the reality of experiments, fabricated isolation bearing specimens are designed for a real structure and shear loading was applied under design compressive loads. To evaluated aging effect, the specimens were exposed to high temperature environment for certain period and their shear properties were measured to compare with their original values. Also we measured creep amount of isolation bearings under constant compressive load for 1,000 hours and estimated creep amount after 60 years compatible with general life cycle of bridges.

Rain-wind induced cable vibration can cause serious problems in cable-stayed bridges. Externally attached dampers have been used to provide an effective means to suppress the vibration of relatively short stay-cables. For very long stay-cables, however, such damper systems are rendered ineffective, as the dampers need to be attached near the end of cables for aesthetic reasons. This paper investigates a new control system to mitigate the cable vibration. The proposed control system which consists of a laminated rubber bearing and an internal damper may be installed inside of the cable anchorage. A simple analytical model of the cable-damper system is developed first based on the taut string representation of the cable. The response of a cable with the proposed control system is obtained and then compared to those of the cable with and without an external passive damper. The proposed stay-cable vibration control system is shown to perform better than the optimal passive viscous damper, thereby demonstrating its applicability in large cable-stayed bridges for mitigation of rain-wind induced vibration of stay-cables.
