In a previous paper, ambient vibration tests were conducted on a cable stayed bridge with resilient-friction base isolation systems (R-FBI) to extract the dynamic characteristics of the bridge and compare the results with a seismic analysis model. In this paper, a nonlinear seismic analysis model was established for analysis of the bridge to compare the difference in seismic responses between nonlinear time history analysis and multi-mode spectral analysis methods in the seismic design phase of cable supported bridges. Through these studies, it was confirmed that the seismic design procedures of the “Korean Highway Bridge Design Code (Limit State Design) for Cable Supported Bridges” is not suitable for cable supported bridges installed with R-FBI. Therefore, to reflect the actual dynamic characteristics of the R-FBI installed on cable-supported bridges, an improved seismic design procedure is proposed that applies the seismic analysis method differently depending on the seismic isolation effect of the R-FBI for each seismic performance level.

In this study, a field bridge test was conducted to find the dynamic properties of cable supported bridges with resilient-friction base isolation systems (R-FBI). Various ambient vibration tests were performed to estimate dynamic properties of a test bridge using trucks in a non-transportation state before opening of the bridge and by ordinary traffic loadings about one year later after opening of the bridge. The dynamic properties found from the results of the tests were compared with an analysis model. From the result of the ambient vibration tests of the cable supported bridge with R-FBI, it was confirmed that the dynamic properties were sensitive to the stiffness of the R-FBI in the bridge, and the seismic analysis model of the test bridge using the effective stiffness of the R-FBI was insufficient for reflecting the dynamic behavior of the bridge. In the case of cable supported bridges, the seismic design must follow the “Korean Highway Bridge Design Code (Limit State Design) for Cable supported bridges.” Therefore, in order to reflect the actual behavior characteristics of the R-FBI installed on cable-supported bridges, an improved seismic design procedure should be proposed.

내진설계기준이 점차 강화되고 다경간 연속화에 대한 시도가 증가됨에 따라 기존의 내진설계로는 지진력의 처리가 곤란하여 다점고정장치와 감쇠를 통해 지진에너지를 소산시키는 장주기화, 분산, 감쇠를 통해 지진력을 효과적으로 감소시키는 면진장치의 사용이 날로 증가하고 있다. 그러나 내진장치 적용에 대한 다양성 부재와 장치를 적용한 설계경험의 부족 등의 이유로 특정교량에 적절한 내진장치를 선정하는데 상당한 어려움이 따르고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 다양한 내진장치가 적용된 교량의 지진시 거동특성에 대한 연구를 수행하여 받침장치 선정시 활용할 수 있도록 하였다.
