교량의 신축이음장치는 상부구조의 온도신축 이동 및 회전을 원활하게 수용하기 위하여 설치하는 부속장치 중의 하나이다. 따라서 계절에 따른 즉, 온도 변화에도 적정 유간을 확보하여 교량의 설계시의 구조적 거동을 유지하는 데에 그 중요성이 있다 하겠다. 그러나, 최근 잦은 이상기온(폭염) 지속, 교대 지반이동, 접속부 콘크리트 포장 팽창 등 여러 요인으로 신축 이음장치 유간의 부족 현상이 관찰되고 있다. 이는 Blow up, 교량 구조적 손상으로 이어지게 되므로 모니터링을 통하여 선제적 유지관리가 가능하도록 ‘무차단 교량 신축이음장치 유간 조사 장비(이하, NEXUS)를 개발하여 실용화 중에 있다. 본 연구에서는 온도 변화에 따른 유간을 NEXUS 장비를 활용하여 조사하여 그 거동특성을 살펴보고자 하였다.

Recently, there has been frequent shortage of expansion joint in expressway bridges. When that happens, maintenance budgets will be overloaded and not effective, so it is not easy to come up with a solution. In this study, we introduce a bridge inspection system that combines laser image sensing technology and automatic control technology, which have been recently applied in various fields. And this system was developed to measure bridge extension joints while traveling 100km/h.

In this study, we introduce a bridge inspection system that combines laser image sensing technology and automatic control technology, which have been recently applied in various fields. And this system was developed to measure bridge extension joints while traveling more than 80km/h.
