Abstract

Bridges are rated at two levels by either Load Factor Design (LFD) or Allowable Stress Design (ASD). The lower level rating is called Inventory Rating and the upper level rating is called Operating Rating. To maintain bridges effectively, there is an urgent need to assess actual bridge loading carrying capacity and to predict their remaining life from a system reliability viewpoint. The lifetime functions are introduced and explained to predict the time-dependent failure probability. The bridge studied in this paper was built 30 years ago in rural area. For this bridge, the load test and rehabilitation were conducted. The time-dependent system failure probability is predicted with or without rehabilitation. As a case study, an optional rehabilitation is suggested, and fir this rehabilitation, load rating is computed and the time-dependent system failure probability is predicted. Based on rehabilitation costs and extended service lifes, the optimal rehabilitation is suggested.

교량은 강도설계법이나 허용응력 설계 법에 의해, 두 가지 단계에서 평가된다. 낮은 단계를 Inventory 높은 단계를 Operating이라 부른다. 교량을 효과적으로 유지관리 보수하기 위하여, 교량의 실제하중수용 능력을 평가하고 시스템 신뢰성으로부터 교량의 잔여 수명을 예측하는 것은 매우 시급하다. 생애함수가 시간 의존적 파괴확률을 예측하기 위하여 소개되고 설명된다. 이 논문에서 연구되는 교량은30년 전 농촌지역에 시공되었다. 이 교량에 대하여 하중시험과 보강이 이루어졌다. 시간 의존적 파괴확률이 보수보강 된 경우와 그렇지 않은 경우 대하여 예측되었다. 또 다른 연구로서 새로운 보수보강이 제시되고 이 보수보강에 대하여 내하력이 평가되었고 시간 의존적 파괴확률이 예측되었다. 유지관리 가격과 확장된 교량의 생애를 기본으로, 최적의 보수보강 기법이 제시되었다.
