PURPOSES :The purpose of this study is to perform a reliability analysis of the proposed wind load combination which governs the design of support structures of subsidiary road facilities, and to evaluate whether the target reliability of the design is satisfied.METHODS :The statistical estimation method is applied and the design period of the support structure is used to obtain the statistical property of the wind load. In addition, the statistical properties of the strength of support structures are obtained from a literature review and simulation study. Actual support structures are designed by the proposed load combination and are used as the examples to examine if the target reliability is obtained.RESULTS :The result of the reliability analysis performed by using the statistical properties of load and resistance for the support structure in this study indicates that the proposed wind load combination satisfied the target reliability index of the design.

PURPOSES : This study estimated the load effect of a single heavy truck to develop a live load model for the design and assessment of bridges located on an expressway with a limited truck entry weight. METHODS: The statistical estimation methods for the live load effect acting on a bridge by a heavy vehicle are reviewed, and applications using the actual measurement data for trucks traveling on an expressway are presented. The weight estimation of a single vehicle and its effect on a bridge are fundamental elements in the construction of a live load model. Two statistical estimation methods for the application of extrapolation in a probabilistic study and an additional estimation method that adopts the extreme value theory are reviewed. RESULTS : The proposed methods are applied to the traffic data measured on an expressway. All of the estimation methods yield similar results using the data measured when the weight limit has been relatively well observed because of the rigid enforcement of the weight regulation. On the other hand, when the estimations are made using overweight traffic data, the resulting values differ with the estimation method. CONCLUSIONS: The estimation methods based on the extreme distribution theory and the modified procedure presented in this paper can yield reasonable values for the maximum weight of a single truck, which can be applied in both the design and evaluation of a bridge on an expressway.

사장교에서 케이블은 교량 전체에 있어서 매우 중요한 요소이다. 차량, 바람 혹은 풍우에 의한 케이블의 진동은 교량의 안전성과 사용성을 감소시키는 주요 원인이 되어왔으며 이러한 문제를 해결하는 효과적인 방법중의 하나는 케이블 댐퍼를 설치하는 것이다. 이 케이블 댐퍼를 최적으로 설계하기 위해서는 케이블의 동특성을 정확하게 평가해야 하며 케이블 동특성치를 얻기 위해서는 정확한 가진이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 케이블 가진시스템을 개발하고 성능을 평가하기 위해 케이블 가진시스템의 운동방정식을 유도하였으며, 케이블 가진기를 케이블 모형에 설치하여 정현진동실험과 공진진동실험을 수행하여 케이블의 동특성을 효과적으로 구하였다.

As primary members of cable-stayed bridge, stay cables are the most important elements of the entire structure. Wind-induced or Rain-Wind vibration is a cause of the safety in the bridge, the deep anxiety for the observing public. One of effective ways to solve this problem is to install the damper. To design the damper, it is necess따y to estimate the cable dynamic characteristics. In this study, for the cable dynamic characteristics we deγeloped the cable exciting mechanical system(exciter). And to evaluate the performance of the cable exciter, we derived the solution of frequency equation from the differential equation of the mathematical model, 뻐d performed the solution of frequency equation, the eigenvalue analysis by FEM model, the resonance dwelling test and swept sine test

본 논문에서는 지점근처에 납-전단 댐퍼(LSD)가 설치된 케이블의 동적 거동에 대해 다루었다. 이러한 동적 거동에 대한 파악은 케이블의 진동 감소 목적으로 댐퍼를 설계하는 경우 중요한 절차중 하나이다. 납-전단 댐퍼와 같은 이력형 댐퍼의 실제 이력곡선에 기초하여 본 연구에서는 납-전단 댐퍼의 이력곡선을 완전 탄소성으로 가정하였다. 납-전단 댐퍼의 역학적 모델은 등가 켈빈 모델을 사용하였으며 케이블의 새그 효과를 고려하였다. 납- 전단 댐퍼의 용량이라고 할 수 있는 항복력을 설계변수로 선택하고 케이블에 최적의 감쇠효과를 부여하는 동적학적 관계에 대해 연구하였다. 또한 댐퍼가 케이블에 설치되는 지점과 케이블의 장력에 대한 댐퍼의 감쇠효과에 대해서도 연구하였다. 매개변수 해석결과 케이블의 기하학적 형상 및 댐퍼의 설치조건에 따라 납-전단 댐퍼가 케이블에 부가하는 감쇠의 크기가 변함을 알 수 있었으며, 이때 최대의 감쇠성능을 발휘하는 최적 항복력이 존재하는 것을 알았다.

두개의 케이블요소를 이용한 3차원 케이블망의 정적 비선형 유한요소해석기법을 제시한다. 먼저, 공간 트러스요소와 탄성현수선 케이블요소(elastic catenary cable element)의 접선강도행렬과 질량행렬을 유도하는 과정을 간략히 요약한다. 지점 변위를 일으키고 자중을 받는 케이블망의 초기평형 상태를 결정하기 위하여, Newton-Raphson 반복법에 근거한 하중증분법과 현수케이블요소를 적용하는 경우에 viscous damping을 고려한 dynamic relaxation법을 제시한다. 또한 초기의 정적평형상태를 기준으로 추가하중에 대한 케이블망의 정적 비선형해석을 수행한다. 지점변위와 외력을 받는 케이블 구조에 대하여 비선형해석을 수행하고, 해석결과들을 기존의 문헌의 결과와 비교, 검토하므로써 본 논문에서 제시한 이론 및 해석방법의 타당성을 입증한다.

This paper shows examples of damage of sound barrier supports during maintenance. Main causes of damage are wind load, bad construction and maintenance, vibration due to live load, etc. Finally, the measurements for these damaged cases are introduced in the freeway site.

In this study on the seismic behavior of the bridge that does not affect the safety of the range of variation of the length of the pier was looking for. The type of bridge is difficult to set clear standards for the geometric stiffness of the bridge, due to the diversity of soil conditions on the number of all cases. Thus, PSC girder and steel box girder bridge the representative of the highway bridge types were analyzed. Changes in the length of the pier ± 5% increments up to 20% were analyzed.

For the safety assessment of the existing bridges on the expressway, the statistical properties of the truck traffic on the expressway needs to be investigated. Also, the reduced uncertainties involved in the assessment and the shorter reference period for the assessment are utilized for the modeling of the live load for evaluation of the existing bridges.
