본 논문에서는 한국시설안전공단에서 수행한 정밀안전진단자료를 수집 분석하여 공용년수의 증가에 따른 내하력 변화 양상을 조사하였다. 연구결과, 공용내하율이 평가자의 주관 등 여러 가지 조건으로 공용기간에 따라 큰 편차를 보이는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서, 기존의 내하력 평가에 관한 다양한 문제점을 분석하여 편차를 보정할 수 있는 개선된 방안을 제시하였으며, 이 방법은 공용중인 교량의 보강 주기와 우선순위의 결정, 공용수명의 추정 등 효율적인 유지관리에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구에서는 RC 중공슬래브 교량의 내하력을 향상시키기 위해 외부 프리스트레싱을 이용한 보강방법을 제시하였다. 효과적인 보강을 위해 Queen-post 형식과 King-post 형식이 고려되었으며, 축차무제 약 최소화 기법(SUMT)를 이용하여 목표 내하율을 달성하기 위한 최적의 형상과 긴장력을 구하였다. 최적보강을 위한 목적함수는 재료비용을 무차원화한 비용함수로 구성하였으며, 제약조건은 시방서 규정과 내하율을 고려하여 형성하였다. RC 중공슬래브 교량의 보강을 실행한 후 그 결과를 분석하여 제안된 방법의 타당성을 제시하였다.

본(本) 연구(硏究)에서는 군용전차의 교량통과시 노후도(老朽度)를 비롯한 각종 저항(抵抗) 및 하중(荷重)관련 불확실량(不確實量)을 체계적으로 포함한 한계상태모형(限界狀態模型)을 유도하고, 실용적이며 진보된 2차(次)모멘트 신뢰성(信賴性) 이론(理論)을 사용하여 군용교량(軍用橋梁) 및 일반교량(一般橋梁)의 신뢰성(信賴性)에 기초한 안전도(安全度) 분석방법(分析方法)과 하중저항계수(荷重抵抗係數) 형식의 급수계산방법(級數計算方法)을 제안(提案)하였다. 본(本) 연구(硏究)에서 제안(提案)하는 안전도(安全度) 분석(分析) 및 내하급수(耐荷級數) 판정방법(判定方法)을 몇 개의 실제 교량에 적용하여 보았다. 본(本) 연구(硏究)의 결과 현행 재래식 허용응력개념에 의한 NATO 급수계산방법은 실내하력(實耐荷力) 판정(判定)이 아닌 명목적인 급수판정방법에 불과함을 알 수 있으며, 따라서 본 연구에서 제시(提示)한 신뢰성방법(信賴性方法)에 의한 안전도(安全度) 분석방법(分析方法)과 하중(荷重)-저항계수(抵抗係數)형 급수 계산방법이나 이에 대응하는 합리적인 허용응력법(許容應力法)에 의한 실내하급수(實耐荷級數) 계산방법(計算方法)의 도입이 시급하다고 본다.

The structural strain plays a significant role in structural condition assessment of in-service bridges in terms of structural bearing capacity, structural reliability level and entire safety redundancy. Therefore, it has been one of the most important parameters concerned by researchers and engineers engaged in structural health monitoring (SHM) practices. In this paper, an SHM system instrumented on the Jiubao Bridge located in Hangzhou, China is firstly introduced. This system involves nine subsystems and has been continuously operated for five years since 2012. As part of the SHM system, a total of 166 fiber Bragg grating (FBG) strain sensors are installed on the bridge to measure the dynamic strain responses of key structural components. Based on the strain monitoring data acquired in recent two years, the strain-based structural condition assessment of the Jiubao Bridge is carried out. The wavelet multi-resolution algorithm is applied to separate the temperature effect from the raw strain data. The obtained strain data under the normal traffic and wind condition and under the typhoon condition are examined for structural safety evaluation. The structural condition rating of the bridge in accordance with the AASHTO specification for condition evaluation and load and resistance factor rating of highway bridges is performed by use of the processed strain data in combination with finite element analysis. The analysis framework presented in this study can be used as a reference for facilitating the assessment, inspection and maintenance activities of in-service bridges instrumented with long-term SHM system.

This study is the developed prediction of residual effective prestress force of prestressed concrete beam bridges. Developed prediction method is based on the center camber of prestressed concrete beam, structural design. report of various PSC beams, construction reference materials of PSC beams. Evaluation of residual effective prestress force by developed method is compared with evaluation by structural design. This comparison results shows that this developed method is very effective method. Therefore prediction of residual effective prestress force by this developed method will be used for evaluation of the rating of various PSC beam bridges(road bridges and railway bridges).

One of the main objectives of the study is to propose a pratical and realistic reliability analysis by ETCM(Expected Total Cost Minimization). This study is intended to propose the safety assesment and capacity rating of existing reinforced concrete members by evaluating the safety evaluation index, that is RF(Rating Factor) from the results of the field test and inspection for 5 reinforced concrete bridges. ETCM method is used for the reliability analysis of the proposed models. The proposed reliability model and method are applied the safety assesment and system factors of reinforced concrete members.

Highly curved steel-box bridges are usually constructed as ramp structures for the highway interchange and metropolitan elevated highway junction, but a number of these bridges are deteriorated and damaged to a significant degree due to heavy traffic. The main objective of the study is to develop a practical reliability-based assessment of safety and residual load carrying-capacity of existing curved steel-box ramp bridges. In the paper, for the realistic assessment of safety and residual load carrying-capacity of deteriorated and/or damaged curved steel-box bridges, an interactive non-linear limit state model is formulated based on the von Mises's combined stress yield criterion. It is demonstrated that the proposed model is effective for the assessment of reliability-based safety and the evaluation of residual load carrying-capacity of curved steel-box bridges. In addition, this study comparatively shows the applicability of various reliability analysis methods, and suggests a practical and effective one to be used in practice.

The Stonecutters Bridge (SCB) in Hong Kong is the third-longest cable-stayed bridge in the world with a main span stretching 1,018 m between two 298 m high single-leg tapering composite towers. A Wind and Structural Health Monitoring System (WASHMS) is being implemented on SCB by the Highways Department of The Hong Kong SAR Government, and the SCB-WASHMS is composed of more than 1,300 sensors in 15 types. In order to establish a linkage between structural health monitoring and maintenance management, a Structural Health Rating System (SHRS) with relevant rating tools and indices is devised. On the basis of a 3D space frame finite element model (FEM) of SCB and model updating, this paper presents the development of an SHR-oriented 3D multi-scale FEM for the purpose of load-resistance analysis and damage evaluation in structural element level, including modeling, refinement and validation of the multi-scale FEM. The refined 3D structural segments at deck and towers are established in critical segment positions corresponding to maximum cable forces. The components in the critical segment region are modeled as a full 3D FEM and fitted into the 3D space frame FEM. The boundary conditions between beam and shell elements are performed conforming to equivalent stiffness, effective mass and compatibility of deformation. The 3D multi-scale FEM is verified by the in-situ measured dynamic characteristics and static response. A good agreement between the FEM and measurement results indicates that the 3D multi-scale FEM is precise and efficient for WASHMS and SHRS of SCB. In addition, stress distribution and concentration of the critical segments in the 3D multi-scale FEM under temperature loads, static wind loads and equivalent seismic loads are investigated. Stress concentration elements under equivalent seismic loads exist in the anchor zone in steel/concrete beam and the anchor plate edge in steel anchor box of the towers.

The condition assessment of bridges is one of the important procedures in the safety evaluation of the structures. The current inspection guideline is rather ambiguous and vague so that the inspection results based on the existing guidelines are highly subjective and varing from person to person and even day to day for a given person. It is therefore, necessary to improve the current inspection criteria in order to provide consistent results in safety assessment. To circumvent possible inconsistencies in inspection and rating of bridge components, the revised criteria have been proposed in this study. The proposed guideline and criteria may be efficiently used for the realistic and consistent assessment of bridge structures.

The inspection of bridge condition is of extreme importance. Current inspection codes for bridge inspection are vague and uncertain. So, the results are highly subjective and different from person to person and even day to day for a given person. To circumvent possible inconsistencies in inspection and rating of bridge components, the revised inspection guidelines have been proposed.
