Yeongdo Bridge, the only bascule bridge in Korea, was reconstructed in 2013. The bridge has been in operation for a year till today, and lift-up once a day. This study includes the measurement and analysis of the bridge’s behaviour during its lift-up. The result is expected to be applied as the initial data of maintenance hereafter.
This study is to determine the flexural reinforcement performance of the RC beam through the NSM reinforcement experiment. To do this, to produce non-reinforced specimen and reinforced specimens were performed the experimental study. As the results of this study, the tension reinforcing steel has been confirmed between the FRP bar and filled material integrated behavior before yielding. Compared with non-reinforced specimen the reinforced specimens showed that the rigidity of the reinforced specimens is higher than that of the non-reinforced specimen about 16.7%, and increases 8.3%~20.0% and 33.3%~52.7% for yielding strength and ultimate strength respectively. It appears an excellent bending reinforcing effect.
This paper aims at optimizing fire risk assessment for highway bridges using different classification schemes. Based on results, highway bridges are categorized into three groups according to fire risk levels and compared to actual cases of fire incidents. From comparisons, it is required to determine the proper classification scheme according to type of risk and data.
The quality of injection sealer for water leakage maintenance be being managed by KS. However, the test result of response to the substrate movement performance have some errors by an experimenter. So, the revision standard of test method is proposed. Therefor, will verify that in this study.
In this study, long term monitoring of tensile force of pre-tensioned prestressing strand embedded in UHPC ribbed deck by means of FBG sensor encapsulated into 7-wire prestressing strand. Based on the monitoring result for two years, it was confirmed that the technique proposed in this study offers efficient and robust way of monitoring the internal prestress of pre-tensioned PSC structures.
This paper aims to develop a wireless multi-sensing system for structural health monitoring of civil structures. This system is designed to measure all kinds of data--static and dynamic response, etc--from a multi-sensing data logger, and to transmit the measured data by means of a wireless real-time RF module, and to analyze the transmitted data for a health monitoring of structure. To test its validity, a FE analysis of a model cable-stayed bridge has been conducted for system identification. And a modal test of the model bridge has been also performed by both the proposed system and a cable based commercial measurement system(IOTech) for comparison. Based on those results, the proposed system was found to have an excellent capability of measuring and transmitting data from actual structure, and thus to be applicable to health monitoring of civil structures.
These steel cables on suspension bridges and cable-stayed bridges are major members that transmit the dead and live load through the bridge’s main cable; hence, it is essential that inspection, maintenance and reinforcement are done regularly. In this study, we developed a magnetic sensor which is capable of detecting possible internal damages on bridge cables. It can be utilized to monitor actual suspension bridges and cable-stayed bridges.
In this study, among the reliability assessment method for measured data of dam instrumentation, time series analysis and behavior analysis were introduced and the reliability assessment cases for seepag weir, pore-pressure meter, concrete stress meter and joint meter were presented.
Time dependent finite element formulation for age-dependent torsional analysis of prestressed concrete flexural member was derived based on the time-independent finite element formulation. In the formulation, torsional creep was considered to predict torsion behavior of beam structure. Two-span prestressed double T-beam was analyzed to observe the effect of torsion creep.
This paper presents a laboratory validation for a Finite Element model updating method using moving vehicle input-deflection output measurements. In conventional FE model updating, a few natural frequencies measured from field experiments have been used to update the FE model based on the assumption that the mass matrix is known accurately. The proposed approach can update the stiffness matrix without the assumption by using static input-output measurements and can even update the mass matrix by using a few natural frequencies obtained from dynamic measurements. Laboratory experiments were carried out for a scaled model of Samseung Bridge located in the test road of Korea Highway Corporation. For a simplicity of experiments, a mass (11kgf) was located in four different locations on the deck and two deflections were measured by laser displacement meters: one at the center girder, and the other in at the outer girder, both in mid-span. Results showed that the proposed methods was capable to estimate Young's Modulus and the mass density of the model bridge accurately while natural-frequency-based updating may result in significant error when higher modes (2nd, 3rd) were used.
The monitoring technique using acoustic emission(AE) and microseismicity(MS) are recently used in domestic geotechnical structures. Since AE amd MS rapidly increase before the large-scale failure of geotechnical structures, they can be used as an indicator of failure symptoms. This study shows case studies, especially applied to the rock slope and tunnel.
Presently, the wind power tower grows actively in all countries of the world as the part of renewable energy securing. Recently, as to the wind power tower, the advance to and diversification of the wind power tower form and material are made. but the maintenance manual about the wind power tower in which this foundation is based is insufficient. therefore, the object is that in being safe and maintaining efficiently the wind power tower, by developing the maintenance manual about the fundamental vulnerable element the life span improvement of the wind power tower is planned and it contributes to the maintenance management technology development.
The present study reviews bridge management index and bridge management system (BMS) in China, Japan, Korea, and U.S. In Korea, BMS should include functions enable to quantify the risks, safety, and optimization models of cost/benefit associated with bridges. There are similarities in bridge management index of four countries.
The ultimate strength of existing offshore structure is calculated by Nonlinear Push-over analysis and the damage of structure is assessed through a reserve strength ratio(RSR). High-risk members are detected through the failure mechanism to analyze the plastic analysis results.
