현수교 주 케이블은 케이블 밴드의 볼트 축력에 대한 정기적인 유지 관리가 매우 중요하다. 현수교 케이블 밴드의 볼트 축력은 시간이 경과함에 따라 케이블 소선의 크리프 현상, 볼트의 릴렉세이션, 하중 변동, 케이블 소선의 재배열 등으로 인해 축력 감소 현상이 발생하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 국내 현수 교량(SR대교)의 케이블 밴드가 시간이 경과하면서 발생하는 축력 감소 현상에 대해 그 원인 및 감소량 등에 대한 현장 측정 및 이론적 검토, 안전율 검토, 장기적인 이력 관리 등을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 케이블 밴드 볼트 축력 감소는 주 케이블 소선에 사용된 아연 도금층의 소성 변형에 크게 영향받는 것을 확인하였으며, 이에 대한 이론적 체계 및 장기 이력 관리에 대한 적용성을 확립하였다.

For suspension bridges, the super-structure is supported by main cables and hangers which carry the dead and live loads to the pylons and anchorages. Due to the fact that the difficultly of repair and strengthening for damaged cables, it is very important to find an efficient way of maintenance methods for cables. The corrosion is one of main causes for cable damages. The use of dehumidification system can be an alternative for this issue.

In this study, multiple regression analysis was conducted using traffic volume, temperature and strain, which are maintenance data of suspension bridge(Diamond Bridge in Busan). As a result of analysis, the influence of independent variables on the dependent variable, strain, was found to be .304 for light and compact car traffic, .476 for large and special car traffic and .167 for the average temperature of reinforced truss

This study on the maintenance of axial force of the cable band bolts in suspension bridge. The axial force on the cable band is reduced as suspension bridge of increases service period. In is a summary of the field measurement results and review of cause.

The suspension bridge main cable requires regular maintenance works to control the axial forces of the cable band bolts. A axial forces of a suspension bridge cable band occur reduction phenomenon because of the creep behavior of cable wire, the bolts relaxation, load fluctuation and cable rearrangements with the lapse of time.

In this study, periodical configuration survey is carried out on the subject of the suspension bridge in service. Its reliability and structural modeling validity are performed by comparison and analysis of interpretation value through the structural analysis.

This paper developed analysis model with measured data and geometric nonlinearity for more precise evaluation of structure behavior of suspension bridge. This analysis model helps to make plan and evaluate of structure behavior for accidents such as traffic, typhoon and earthquake. Also, this helps to make maintenance and management plan for structure.

In this study, analyze the proper repair works and after repair works before it, such as via the structural analysis and investigation of various site of damaged of suspension bridge due to the collision of the vehicle is an accident artificial, make sure those good analysis result has been.

Suspension bridge, one of the long span bridge type, is vulnerable to wind load. To analysis effect of wind load, this paper peformed 2D analysis for suspension bridge. Numerical model is consisted suspension bridge cross section and two nonlinear hanger cable. Suspension bridge cross section has mass and torsional resistance. Nonlinear hanger cable stiffness is bigger as displacement larger. This paper compare w/ torsional resistance model and w/o torsional resistance model. Analysis results show that w/o consider cross section torsional resistance is likely to overestimate structure response.

The suspension bridge’s main cable requires regular checks for the decrease on the axial forces of the cable band bolts.

In additions, the reasons for the decrease of axial forces are investigated with various aspects and some measurement methods for the axial forces are presented as well.

In this study, dynamic behavior of suspension bridge was evaluated under moving truck and lane load specified in the Korean limit state design code. The essential parameters affecting dynamic behaviour of bridges, i.e., road surface roughness and vehicle speed were considered. The road surface roughness was randomly generated based on ISO 8608 and the vehicle speed was considered 60~120 km/h. 3-D finite element model for the selected suspension bridge was constructed and Newmark’s direct integration method was used for bridge-vehicle interaction analysis.

Wireless monitoring system was established to measure PPWS(Prefabricated Parallel Wire Strand) temperature under PPWS erection in Ulsan Grand bridge. The applicability of it to bridge construction site was being evaluated. Wireless function was worked very well within 2km long distance. Transferred data was being analyzed.

The sensors currently installed for bridge monitoring are faced with limitations in terms of the application and effectiveness of such systems in current long sized bridges, which are developing rapidly in terms of both size and function. Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) has been noted as an only way to overcome the limitations of such sensors. This is because they have numerous desirable characteristics that outweigh their high cost. However, GNSS installed for bridge monitoring has been used so far only in measurement of bridge displacement. Therefore, in this study, verify the usability of GNSS through correlation analysis between deflection and temperature
