본 논문에서는 구조건전성모니터링(SHM)시스템이 설치된 케이블교량을 대상으로 장기적인 동적거동 특성을 분석하였다. 3차원 유한요소모델을 사용한 모드해석을 통해 모드변수를 추출하였다. 이를 교량에서 측정된 상시진동신호에 대해 주파수영역에서 분석한 고유진동수와 비교하여 정확한 기저모델이 구축되었음을 알 수 있었다. 지난 5년간의 고유진동수와 온도를 통계분석하여 고유진동수가 온도에 선형 반비례하고 있음을 확인하였고, 이러한 온도효과에 대한 평가를 수행하였다. 또한 상시진동신호를 시간영역에서 TDD기법을 적용하여 모드형상을 추출하였으며, 모드해석 결과와의 비교를 통해 케이블교량에 적용이 가능함을 검증하였다.

공용 중인 교량의 건전성을 파악하고 유지관리에 활용하기 위해 서해대교 사장교 구간에는 구조건전성모니터링(structural health monitoring) 시스템이 설치되어 있다. 이를 통해 바람, 지진과 같은 작용하중(applied loads)과 함께 진동, 형상변화, 신축, 부재력, 응력(변형률)과 같은 구조응답(structural response)을 모니터링하고 있다. 2000년 준공 이후 현재까지 장기간 축적된 구조응답 데이터를 기반으로 분석 및 평가를 수행한 결과, 상시 거동뿐만 아니라 다양한 재난상황 시에도 교량 구조계의 거동은 건전한 상태임을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper discusses the loads on bridges based on long-term measurements. Applied Loads such as winds, earthquakes, temperature variations and traffic effects have been monitored on an existing bridge from the completion of the structure to now. It is confirmed that the monitoring results are within the design values.

To monitor structural responses and detect serious events, an image-based health monitoring technology for existing bridges has been developed. The image-based system allows users to connect and remotely control cameras in real-time. The developed system was successfully tested and verified in the test bed bridges. This paper presents the application examples of it.

To monitor static and dynamic responses of bridges, an image-based monitoring system using networking Pan-Tilt-Zoom IP (Internet Protocol) cameras has been developed. Verification testing is carried out during the human-excited vibration test of the stay cables in a cable-stayed bridge. As well as identifying the natural frequencies of the stay cable, the reasonable damping ratios are successfully extracted from the acquired images.

To monitor static and dynamic responses of bridges, an image-based monitoring system using networking PTZ IP (Pan-Tilt-Zoom Internet Protocol) cameras has been developed. Triggers to acquire video or still-images are performed when structural events like vibrations or excessive displacements occur. Also, periodic or user-defined triggers can be performed. When a trigger occurs, the system collects bridge members' images along the pre-defined touring route of a group of presets and extracts relative displacements between images.

We have carried out the bridge inspections according to the laws not considering the characteristics of damages. Also the current condition based inspection cannot consider the rate of bridge deterioration. But it is reasonable to classify the inspection interval according to the risk of each bridge. This suggests the risk based inspection methodology.

To monitor dynamic responses of bridges, the vision-based system using commercial video-related equipment is developed. The research and development has been performed for dynamic characteristics extraction of external tendons in PSC box girder bridges. The vision-based dynamic measurement system consists of an industrial camera and notebook computer that can measure tendon's vibrations with 100 fps. The vision-based system was successfully tested and verified in the testbed bridge.

This study evaluates thermal movements of an existing bridge using digital image processing technologies. Digital images are acquired from smart phones. Thermal movements which extracted from bridge bearings' images are compared to the results of conventional displacement transducers. It is concluded that the image-based process for measuring thermal movements of bridges is accurate, practical and cost-effective.

The main purpose of this study is to develop the advanced structural health monitoring techniques of cable-supported bridges. The research and development about two main topics has been performed as follows: The vision-based cable monitoring technology using cable moving robot and The long-term displacement monitoring technology of bridge structures using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). Therefore, the 100-m-length cable vibration test facility, was selected as the test bed.

A bridge is composed of many elements as deck, girder, pier and so on. The deterioration characteristic for each element is useful to establish the maintenace strategy and to determine the inspection interval. This study analyzed the derioration rates of bridge elements in Korea Expressway with a lot of precision safety diagnosis reports.

This study presents a technical overview of snow and ice accretion on cable-stayed bridges and suspension bridges. Specially, it focuses on measures against snow or ice falling into bridge decks. Many different types of de-icing and anti-icing are discussed in this paper.

In this study, measured data of cable-supported bridge’s thermal expansion and contraction were analyzed. To evaluate structural behaviors by temperature variations, measured data were compared with theoretical values by correlation analysis between thermal movements and temperatures. Additionally, the cumulative displacements were analyzed. Through the analysis of the results, the evaluation methods of cable-supported bridge's thermal expansion and contraction is suggested.

This study presents a technical overview of inspection practices on cable-stayed bridges and suspension bridges in service. Specially, it focuses on special inspections, which are regularly scheduled or unscheduled inspections, contrary to those used in general bridges. Conceptual improvements of special inspections are discussed.
