Recently long-span bridges, such as Kwang-Ahn Grand bridge, Seo-Hae Grand Bridge, Young-Jong Grand Bridge, etc, have been designed and constructed near the shore. It needs to maintain the durability of marine concrete structures which are exposed to severe chloride environments. It is well known that corrosion of reinforcement steels in concrete structure is the most important cause for the durability of concrete structure which can be controlled by systematic preparatory corrosion protection works for economic and safe infrastructures. Various corrosion protection systems have been used for the corrosion protection of reinforcement steels from detrimental chemical components such as chloride, sulphate and etc. Since chloride can be penetrated into concrete in a variety way, an effective method has to be adopted by taking into full economical aspects and technical data of each protection system. The objective of this experimental study is to investigate the corrosion behavior of reinforcing steel in laboratory concrete specimens which are exposed to cyclic wet and dry saltwater, and then to develop pertinent corrosion protection system, such as corrosion inhibitors and cathodic protection for reinforced concrete bridges exposed to chloride environment. Resistance of various corrosion inhibitors and impressed current system have been experimentally evaluated under severe environmental conditions, and thus effective corrosion protection systems could have been Practically developed for future concrete construction.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the distortion of 6-unit etched bridge during the firing cycle. Thirty frameworks were constructed. Twenty of the frameworks received a normal application of porcelain and firing sequence ; ten served as controls and subjected to the same firing sequence without the porcelain application. The results were as follows ; 1. Distortion did occur in the body of curved, long-span etched bridge frameworks during the porcelain firing cycle. 2. This distortion was a result of changes in the metal as well as the contraction of fired porcelain. 3. The greatest distortional changes occurred during the degassing stage and final glaze stage of the porcelain firing cycle. 4. Distortion incurred by the application and firing of the porcelain was reversible. When the porcelain was chemically removed from the frameworks, there was an elastic rebound. 5. Distortion was clinically important.

Steel cables serve as the key structural components in long-span bridges, and the force state of the steel cable is deemed to be one of the most important determinant factors representing the safety condition of bridge structures. The disadvantages of traditional cable force measurement methods have been envisaged and development of an effective alternative is still desired. In the last decade, the vision-based sensing technology has been rapidly developed and broadly applied in the field of structural health monitoring (SHM). With the aid of vision-based multi-point structural displacement measurement method, monitoring of the tensile force of the steel cable can be realized. In this paper, a novel cable force monitoring system integrated with a multi-point pattern matching algorithm is developed. The feasibility and accuracy of the developed vision-based force monitoring system has been validated by conducting the uniaxial tensile tests of steel bars, steel wire ropes, and parallel strand cables on a universal testing machine (UTM) as well as a series of moving loading experiments on a scale arch bridge model. The comparative study of the experimental outcomes indicates that the results obtained by the vision-based system are consistent with those measured by the traditional method for cable force measurement.

This paper presents a number of approximated analytical formulations for the flutter analysis of long-span bridges using the so-called uncoupled flutter derivatives. The formulae have been developed from the simplified framework of a bimodal coupled flutter problem. As a result, the proposed method represents an extension of Selberg's empirical formula to generic bridge sections, which may be prone to one of the aeroelastic instability such as coupled-mode or single-mode (either dominated by torsion or heaving mode) flutter. Two approximated expressions for the flutter derivatives are required so that only the experimental flutter derivatives of ($H_1^*$, $A_2^*$) are measured to calculate the onset flutter. Based on asymptotic expansions of the flutter derivatives, a further simplified formula was derived to predict the critical wind speed of the cross section, which is prone to the coupled-mode flutter at large reduced wind speeds. The numerical results produced by the proposed formulas have been compared with results obtained by complex eigenvalue analysis and available approximated methods show that they seem to give satisfactory results for a wide range of study cases. Thus, these formulas can be used in the assessment of bridge flutter performance at the preliminary design stage.

원전 구조물의 내진해석에서 사용하는 시간이력 함수는 적절한 하중을 보장하기 위하여 설계응답스펙트럼에 부합할 뿐만 아니라 최소 PSD함수 이상의 PSD함수를 갖도록 함으로서 각각의 진동수에서 일정 크기 이상의 에너지를 갖고 있어야 한다. 도로교 구조물에서도 구조물의 대형화와 정교화로 인한 구조물의 공공 기능의 안전성이 더욱 강조되어, 설계 목적의 PSD함수의 규정이 필요하지만 적절한 절차가 개발이 되지 않아 현실적으로 적용하기 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 다수의 인공지진을 이용하여 표준 PSD함수를 계산하는 절차를 제시하고 현재의 도로교 내진설계 스펙트럼에 부합하는 표준 PSD 함수를 제안하였다.

이 연구에서는 작용하는 하중특성에 따라 적절한 감쇠력을 발휘할 수 있는 복합감쇠기(complex damper)를 제안하고 그 유용성을 장대교량의 지진응답해석을 통하여 검토하였다. 제안한 복합감쇠기는 두개 이상의 탄소성감쇠기(elasto-plastic damper)와 오일 감쇠기(oil damper)의 조합에 의하여 구성되며, 탄소성감쇠기의 변위의존적인 특성과 오일감쇠기의 속도의존적인 특성을 적절히 결합함으로서 효율적인 감쇠시스템의 구성이 가능하게 하였다. 중소형의 지진이나 작은 진폭의 진동에서는 오일감쇠기가 주로 진동을 흡수하며, 발생 빈도가 낮으나 규모가 큰 지진 등에 대해서는 탄소성 감쇠기가 진동에너지를 흡수한다. 이와 같이 복합감쇠기는 두 가지 종류의 감쇠기 역할을 잘 구분시켜 경제적이고 제진효율성이 뛰어난 설계를 가능하게 한다. 복합감쇠장치의 수학적 모델을 정립하였고, 수치모사를 통하여 응답특성과 효율성을 평가하였다. 수치모사 결과, 복합감쇠기는 단일의 수동형감쇠기를 이용하는 경우보다 뛰어난 감쇠효과를 더욱 경제적으로 구현할 수 있으며 내진성능을 크게 향상시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

When railway vehicles run by towers of long span bridges, the railway vehicles might experience a sudden load-off and load-on phenomenon in crosswind conditions. To ensure the running safety of the railway vehicles and the running comfort of the passengers, some studies were carried out to investigate the impacts of sudden changes of aerodynamic loads on moving railway vehicles. In the present study, the aerodynamic coefficients which were measured in wind tunnel tests using a moving train model are converted into the aerodynamic coefficients in the actual scale. The three-component aerodynamic loads are calculated based on the aerodynamic coefficients with consideration of the vehicle movement. A three-dimensional railway vehicle model is set up using the multibody dynamic theory, and the aerodynamic loads are treated as the inputs of excitation varied with time for kinetic simulations of the railway vehicle. Thus the dynamic responses of the railway vehicle passing by the bridge tower can be obtained from the kinetic simulations in the time domain. The effects of the mean wind speeds and the rail track positions on the running performance of the railway vehicle are discussed. The three-component aerodynamic loads on the railway vehicle are found to experience significant sudden changes when the vehicle passes by the bridge tower. Correspondingly, such sudden changes of aerodynamic loads have a large impact on the dynamic performance of the running railway vehicle. The dynamic responses of the railway vehicle have great fluctuations and significant sudden changes, which is adverse to the running safety and comfort of the railway vehicle passing by the bridge tower in crosswind conditions.

Higher-mode vertical vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) have been observed on several steel box-girder suspension bridges where different vertical modes are selectively excited in turn with wind velocity in accordance with the Strouhal law. Understanding the relationship of VIV amplitudes for different modes of vibration is very important for wind-resistant design of long-span box-girder suspension bridges. In this study, the basic rectangular cross-section with side ratio of B/D=6 is used to investigate the effect of different modes on VIV amplitudes by section model tests. The section model is flexibly mounted in wind tunnel with a variety of spring constants for simulating different modes of vibration and the non-dimensional vertical amplitudes are determined as a function of reduced velocity U/fD. Two 'lock-in' ranges are observed at the same onset reduced velocities of approximately 4.8 and 9.4 for all cases. The second 'lock-in' range, which is induced by the conventional vortex shedding, consistently gives larger responses than the first one and the Sc-normalized maximum non-dimensional responses are almost the same for different spring constants. The first 'lock-in' range where the vibration frequency is approximately two times the vortex shedding frequency is probably a result of super-harmonic resonance or the "frequency demultiplication". The main conclusion drawn from the section model study, central to the higher-mode VIV of suspension bridges, is that the VIV amplitude for different modes is the same provided that the Sc number for these modes is identical.
