In the present work, the capacity ratings of steel truss bridges have been carried out incorporating dynamic effect of moving vehicles and its accumulating effect as fatigue. Further, corrosion in the steel members has been taken into account to examine the rating factor. Dynamic effect has been considered in the rating procedure making use of impact factors obtained from simulation studies as well as from codal guidelines. A steel truss bridge has been considered to illustrate the approach. Two levels of capacity ratings- the upper load level capacity rating (called operating rating) and the lower load level capacity rating (called inventory rating) were found out using Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) method and a proposal has been made which incorporates fatigue in the rating formula. Random nature of corrosion on the steel member has been taken into account in the rating by considering reduced member strength. Partial safety factor for each truss member has been obtained from the fatigue reliability index considering random variables on the fatigue parameters, traffic growth rate and accumulated number of stress cycle using appropriate probability density function. The bridge has been modeled using Finite Element software. Regressions of rating factor versus vehicle gross weight have been obtained. Results show that rating factor decreases when the impact factor other than those in the codal provisions are considered. The consideration of fatigue and member corrosion gives a lower value of rating factor compared to those when both the effects are ignored. In addition to this, the study reveals that rating factor decreases when the vehicle gross weight is increased.

Bridge load rating calculations provide a basis for determining the safe load capacity of bridge. Load rating requires engineering judgement in determining a rating value that is applicable to maintaining the safe use of the bridge and arriving at posting and permit decisions. Load testing is an effective means in calculating the rating value of bridge. In Korea, load carrying capacity of bridge is modified by response modification factor that is determined from comparisons of measured values and analysis results. The response modification factor may be corrupted by vehicle location error that is defined as the gap of test vehicle location between load testing and analysis. In this study, the effects of vehicle location error to structural response and response modification factor are investigated, and a new method for evaluating response modification factor is proposed. The random data analysis shows that the proposed method is less sensitive to vehicle location error than the present method.

교량의 현 내하력을 평가하기 위해서 사용되는 방법으로 허용응력 평가법(ASR), 하중계수평가법 (LFR) 등의 방법 등이 사용되고 있다. 현재, 교랑 평가 값을 이용하여 이 값을 확률이론에 연결시키려는 시도들이 많이 연구되고 있다. 본 논문의 주목적은 교량의 내하력 평가값 (Rating Factor)과 확률이론을 이용하여, 과하중 확률을 구하는데 있습니다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 평가 방법들을 요약 설명하고, Weigh-in-Motion에 의해 얻은 활하중 모델을 도입하여, 교량 평가 값을 확률이론에 연결 시켰다. 활하중 모델과 교량 내하력 값을 토대로, 초과 하중 확률을 계산하고, 그 방법을 설명하였다.

The importance of process for repair and reinforcement of the bridge is increasing because of the lack of the fatigue load and stress, a lowering of the bridge load carrying capacity owing to impact and oscillation, deterioration on cultivation periods of the bridge, etc. Typically the experimenter values the bridge load carrying capacity by the real rating factor and response modification factor in bridge load rating through static load test and dynamic load test. But the error occurred in reliability of response modification factor in bridge load rating according to experience of experimenter. so tests of connecting probability theory and valuation of the bridge recently. The study is to compute the real load carrying capacity of the bridge and the rating factor and response modification factor on grade of the bridge, and calculate the probability of over-loaded truck load from Weigh In Motion(WIM) Data in FORTRAN programming applying to Monte-Carlo Simulation. At the result of this study, it is acquired that the new grade is computed for the probability of over-loaded truck load and surface inspection. The A grade is over 1.95, B grade is $1.55{\sim}1.94$, C grade is $1.26{\sim}1.54$, D grade is $1.14{\sim}1.25$, E grade is under 1.13 of rating factor, respectively.

This paper develops practical models and methods for the assessment of safety and rating of damaged and/or deteriorated bridges by incorporating a system identification technique for the explicit inclusion of the degree of deterioration or damage and of the actual bridge response. And, based on the proposed model, reliability-based rating methods are proposed as LRFR(Load and Resistance Factor Rating) and system reliability-index rating criteria. The proposed limit state model explicitly accounts for the degree of deterioration or damage in terms of the damage and response factors. The damage factor in the paper is proposed as the ratio of the current stiffness to the intact stiffness. Based on the observation and the results of applications to existing bridges, it may be concluded that the proposed rating models, which explicitly account for the uncertainties and the effects of degree of deterioration or damage based on the system identification technique, provide more realistic and consistent safety-assessment and capacity-rating.

현재교량의 절반 가량이 성능이 저하되어 보수 보강이 요구되고 있는 실정인데 이들 교량은 제 기능을 발휘하지 못하거나 소요강도에 미달되는 경우가 있다. 필요이상의 보수보강비용 또는 재거설의 비용의 투입을 피하기 위하여 현재 상태의 내하력이 정확히 평가되어져야 한다. 교량의 평가방법으로 허용응력 평가법 (ASD) 하중계수평가법 (LFD) 하중저항계수평가법 (LRFD) 등이 현재 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 허용응력 평가법 (ASD) 하중계수평가법 (LFD) 하중저항계수평가법 (LRFD)등이 비교되고 실제 교량에 적용된 하중실험의 자료들을 모았다. 그리고 하중실험의 교량평가 결과와 이론에 의한 교량평가 결과의 차이점에 대해 연구하였다. 그리고 기존에 존재하는 교량에 ASD, LFD 그리고 LRFD 방법을 적용 비교하여 어느 수준에 해당되는지를 비교 검토하였다.

본 연구는 Pfeiffer와 Jarosewich(2003)에 의해서 개발된 Gifted Rating Scale(GRS)을 한국어로 번역한 한국어판 GRS의 구인타당도를 검증하고자 하였다. GRS는 교사의 평가에 의해서 아동의 영재성을 판별하는 척도로 미국 교육부의 영재성에 대한 정의에 기초하여 영재성의 6개 하위영역(지적 능력, 학업적 능력, 예술적 재능, 창의성, 지도력, 동기)을 측정하도록 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 한국어판 GRS의 구인타당도 검증을 위하여 서울 경기 지역에 있는 5개 초등학교에서 자료를 수집하여 확인적 요인분석과 탐색적 요인분석을 실시하였다. 확인적 요인분석 결과 한국어판 교사용 GRS는 미국판 GRS와 동일한 요인구조를 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났으나 학부모용의 경우 미국판 GRS와 동일한 요인구조를 가지고 있다고 결론 내릴 수 없었다. 이러한 결과들은 한국어판 GRS 교사용의 타당도에 대한 근거를 제시해 주고 있으며, 한국 교육 현장에의 적용 가능성을 시사하고 있다.

This study develops practical models and methods for the assessment of safety and capacity rating of existing P.C. girder bridges based on the reliability methods. One of the main objectives of the study is to propose a practical but realistic limit state model for safety assessment and LRFR rating criteria, which explicitly incorporates the degree of deterioration and damage as well as actual condition of P.C. girder bridges in terms of the damage factor and the response ratio. The damage factor proposed in the paper is defined as the ratio of the current estimated stiffness to the intact base-line stiffness of a member. Based on the observation and the results of applications to existing bridges, it may be concluded that the proposed methods for the assessment and capacity rating models, which explicitly account for the uncertainties and effects of degree of deterioration or damage, provide more realistic and consistent safety-assessment and capacity rating.
