Abstract

The numerical analysis and safety assessment by construction stages were considered the essential examination particular in order to solving the unstability of long-span bridges in the middle a construction. When estimating structural response characteristics by the construction stage analysis of long-span bridges, the influence of the near-field ground motion (NFGM) would be evaluated as a critical factor for the seismic design because it indicates clearly different aspects from the existing input earthquake motion data. Therefore, this study re-examined the response aspect of long-span bridges considering NFGM characteristics based on the response spectrum result, and advanced the presented numerical analysis program by the related research for conducting the construction stage analysis and reliability assessment of long-span bridges efficiently. The excellency of various construction schemes was assessed using the time history analysis result of critical member considering NFGM characteristics. For evaluating quantitative safety level, the reliability analysis was conducted considering the influence of external uncertainties included in random variables, and presented the safety index and failure probability of the critical construction stage by NFGM characteristics. In addition, the reliability result was examined the influence of internal uncertainties using monte carlo simulation (MCS), and assessed the distribution aspect of the essential analysis result. It is expected that this study will provide the basic information for the construction safety improvement when performing seismic design of long-span bridges considering NFGM characteristics.

시공단계별 수치해석 및 안전성 평가는 장경간 교량의 시공 중 불안전성을 해결하기 위한 주요 검토사항으로 고려되어야 한다. 장경간 교량의 시공단계해석에 따른 구조응답특성 평가 시, 근거리지진(NFGM)의 영향은 기존 입력지진동 데이터와는 확연히 다른 특성을 가지고 있기 때문에 내진설계를 위한 주요 변수로 평가되어야 한다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 응답스펙트럼 해석결과를 바탕으로 NFGM 특성에 따른 장경간 교량의 응답양상을 재검토하였으며, 장경간 교량의 시공단계해석 및 신뢰성평가를 효율적으로 수행하기 위해 관련연구에서 제시된 수치해석 프로그램을 개선하였다. NFGM 특성을 고려한 다양한 시공방안의 우수성은 주요 부재의 시간이력해석 결과를 이용하여 평가하였다. 정량적인 안전수준 평가를 위해 확률변수에 포함된 External Uncertainty의 영향을 고려하여 신뢰성해석을 수행하였으며, NFGM 특성에 따른 주요 시공단계의 안전지수 및 파괴확률을 제시하였다. 아울러, 몬테카르로 시뮬레이션(MCS)을 이용하여 신뢰성해석 결과에 대해 Internal Uncertainty의 영향을 검토하였으며, 주요 해석결과의 분포양상을 평가하였다. 이 연구는 NFGM 특성을 고려한 장경간 교량의 내진설계 시, 시공안전성 향상을 위한 기초자료를 제공할 것으로 기대된다.
