Substructural Identification of Bending Stiffness in Bridge Deck

상시 진동을 사용한 교량 상부 구조계의 휨강성 추정기법

This paper proposed a new substructural identification method to estimate the bending stiffness of a bridge deck, a fundamental structural health index of a super-structure. The proposed method can estimate the bending stiffness without considering actual supporting conditions by using substructural identification method while most of conventional methods need reasonable assumptions on supporting conditions which are hard to be assessed in a real bridge in operation. The mathematical formulation is derived and the results of laboratory tests are summarized. It was verified that the proposed method gives consistent estimation results regardless of actual supporting conditions.
