In recent studies, many methods have been studied for mobile robot using magnetic markers on its pathway. This is not influenced by the weather conditions, and makes possible to develop controller with low level processors and simple algorithms. However, the interval between magnets is restricted by the magnetic field intensity and it is impossible to get road information ahead. This paper suggests a method of widening markers and expressing the road information ahead using magnetic markers, and explains a sensor arrangement considering suggested methods. Also, magnetic field analysis was done to investigate the effects of widening magnetic markers with various environments. A small mobile robot was made to figure out the performance of suggested methods, and driving experiments were performed on the straight and curved road with magnetic markers. The results show that the robot moved the prearranged pathway with 0.5 cm lateral displacements and stopped at a stop line using magnetic information on the road.

The rapid development of the economy has compelled the widen of highways, and the main challenge of this undertaking lies in the uneven settlement of road embankments. Through field and numerical experiments, this study explores the deformation mechanism of shallow buried pipelines due to road widening. The utilization of Plaxis3D software, which is adapt at simulating complex engineering geological conditions, enables the simulation of the settlement of both the central and right-side road embankments. Comparing with other numerical software such as ABAQUS and COMSOL, Plaxis provided more constitutive models including HS, HSS and Hoek-Brown model. The work concludes that the uneven settlement of road cross-sections is positively correlated with the horizontal distance from the pipeline, with a maximum settlement of 73 mm observed after construction. Furthermore, based on the Winkler's assumption, theoretical settlement and stress calculation methods are established. Results indicate that the maximum difference between the calculated values of this formula and simulated values is 1.9% and 7%, respectively. Additionally, the study investigates the stress and settlement of the pipeline's top under different angles to understand its behavior under various conditions. It finds that with traffic loads applied to the new embankment, a lever effect occurs on the lower pipeline, with the fulcrum located within the central isolation zone, leading to a transition in curve type from "single peak and single valley" to "double peak and single valley." Moreover, the settlement of pipelines on both sides of the central isolation zone and the normal stress of the pipeline's top section are symmetrical.

도로교량의 경우 급속한 도시화로 인해 증가한 교통량을 처리하기 위해 교량확폭과 신설교량의 추가 건설 등의 방법이 사용되고 있다. 하지만 현재 국내에서는 확폭 또는 신설 교량의 추가건설의 타당성을 판단하기 위한 합리적인 절차나 기준이 마련되어 있지 않다. 또한 교량 확폭 공사 시에는 일반적인 교량신설 공사에 비해 불확실성을 내포한 사건들이 추가적으로 존재한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 의사결정수 방법을 이용해 교량확장에 따라 발생 가능한 사건의 기대 위험비용을 체계적으로 고려할 수 있는 개선된 형태의 생애주기비용 분석 모델을 제안하였다.

본 연구에서는 콘크리트포장 확장접속부의 추적조사를 통해 시공 및 설계상의 문제점을 확장구간의 평탄성 저하, 진동이 콘크리트에 미치는 영향, 접속부의 접속불량의 관점에서 분석하였다. 기존 측대 일부분만 절단한 경우 접속부에 윤하중이 반복 집중되어 종종 과도한 벌어짐과 단차로 이어지는 것이 목격되었다. 또한 팻칭된 부분에 균열이 재 발생되는 모습도 관찰하였다. 2004년 같은 시기에 신설 준공된 구간과 평탄성을 비교한 결과 확장 준공된 구간의 평탄성 값이 다소 높게 나타났다. 확장구간 설계 시 3차선 4차선으로 확장하는 경우 기존 구간에 설치된 타이바의 내력이 부족해지는 경우에 대해 설명하였다. 현행 타이바를 시공하는 방법에 의한 타이바의 정착강도가 소요강도의 57%에 불과하므로 대안을 제시하였다.

Traffic flow capacity of some old road bridges is insufficient due to limited deck width. In such cases bridge deck widening is a common solution. For multi-girder reinforced concrete (RC) bridges it is possible to add steel-concrete composite girders as the new outermost girders. The deck widening may be combined with bridge strengthening thanks to thickening of the existing deck slab. Joint action of the existing and the added parts of such bridge span must be ensured. It refers especially to the horizontal plane at the interface of the existing slab and the added concrete layer as well as to the vertical planes at the external surfaces of the initially outermost girders where the added girders are connected to the existing bridge span. Since the distribution of the added concrete is non-uniform in the span cross-section the structure is particularly sensitive to the added concrete shrinkage. The shrinkage induces shear forces in the aforementioned planes. Widening of a 12 m long RC multi-girder bridge span is numerically analysed to assess the influence of the added concrete shrinkage. The analysis results show that: a) in the vertical plane of the connection of the added and the existing deck slab the longitudinal shear due to the shrinkage of the added concrete is comparable with the effect of live load, b) it is necessary to provide appropriate longitudinal reinforcement in the deck slab over the added girders due to tension induced by the shrinkage of the added concrete.

The rapid development of road transport has increased the number of bridges that require widening. A critical issue in the construction of bridge widening is the influence of vibrations of the old bridge on the casting of wet joint concrete between the old and new bridges owing to the running traffic. Typically, the bridge is closed to traffic during the pouring of wet joint concrete, which negatively affects the existing transportation network. In this study, a newly developed microscopic traffic load modeling approach and the vehicle-bridge interaction theory are incorporated to develop a refined numerical framework for the analysis of random traffic-bridge coupled dynamics. This framework was used to investigate traffic-induced vibrations at the wet joint of a widened bridge. Based on an experimental study on the vibration resistance of wet joint concrete, traffic control strategies were proposed to ensure the construction performance of cast-in-site wet joint concrete under random traffic without interruption. The results show that the vibration displacement and frequency of the old bridge, estimated by the proposed framework, were comparable with those obtained from field measurements. Based on the target peak particle velocity and vibration amplitude of the wet joint concrete, it was found that traffic control measures, such as limiting vehicle gross weight and limiting traffic volume by closing an additional traffic lane, could ensure the construction performance of the wet joint concrete.

신설포장에 시공되는 타이바의 경우에는 콘크리트 타설시 타이바가 슬래브 안에 묻히기 때문에 타이바의 정착강도가 문제되지 않으나, 확장시에는 기존 포장을 천공한 후 충전재를 주입하여 설치하기 때문에 타이바가 충분한 정착강도를 확보 할 수 있도록 설계해야 한다. 만일 삽입된 타이바가 충분한 정착강도를 확보하지 못한다면, 슬래브 간에 하중 전달에 문제가 생길 뿐만 아니라 줄눈 간격이 과도하게 벌어져서 사용성 및 내구성에도 나쁜 영향을 주게 된다. 본 연구에서는 현재 현장에서 설치하는 시공방법에 의해 타이바의 정착강도를 확인하고 이에 대한 대안을 제시 하고자 한다. 실험결과 현장 시공방법으로 설치된 타이바의 정착강도는 소요 정착강도의 42.7%에 불과하였다. 첫 번째 대안으로서 주입기를 이용하여 충전재를 주입하고 마개를 사용하여 충전재가 흘러 나오지 못하게 막는 방법의 경우에는 소요 정착강도를 충분히 만족 하였으나, 현장에서의 품질관리가 쉽지 않을 것으로 판단된다. 두 번째 대안으로 제시된 SL 앵커볼트를 이용하여 타이바를 설치하는 방법은 충분한 정착강도를 확보 할 수 있으며 품질관리 및 시공성이 용이 한 것으로 판단된다.

PURPOSES : This study deals with traffic accidents involving trucks. The objective of this study is to develop a traffic accident model for trucks at roundabouts. METHODS : To achieve its objective, this study gives particular attention to develop appropriate models using Poisson and negative binomial regression models. Traffic accident data from 2007 to 2014 were collected from TAAS data set of road traffic authority. Thirteen explanatory variables such as geometry and traffic volume were used. RESULTS : The main results can be summarized as follows: (1) two statistically significant Poisson models (${\rho}^2=0.398$ and 0.435) were developed, and (2) the analysis revealed the common variables to be traffic volume, number of exit lanes, speed breakers, and truck apron width. CONCLUSIONS : Our modeling reveals that increasing the number of speed breakers and speed limit signs, and widening the truck apron width are important for reducing the number of truck accidents at roundabouts.
