Abstract

This study proposes an estimation method of strain distribution for multi-span steel beam structure under unspecific loading conditions. The estimation method in this paper employs the curve fitting using the least square method from measured strain data, not analytical method. To verify the proposed estimation method, a static loading test for multi-span steel beam on which distributed and concentrated loads act was conducted. The strain data for verification was measured by FBG sensors that have multiplexing technology. The analysis of the accuracy of strain estimation for distributed and concentrated loads and the errors by considering the number of measured points used in the estimation were conducted. In the maximum strain points, the strains could be estimated with the errors of 5.89% (loading step 1) and 6.26% (loading step 2). In case of decreasing the number of sensors, it was also confirmed that the errors increased (0.26~0.37%). Through the curve fitting method, it is possible to estimate the strain distribution (maximum strains and their locations) of multi-span beam for unspecific loads and go over the limit of the analytical estimation method which is suitable for specific distributed loads.

본 연구에서는 불특정 분포하중에 대한 다경간 연속 보 구조물의 변형률 분포를 추정하는 기법을 제시하였다. 본 추정 기법은 해석적 방법이 아닌 계측한 변형률 데이터로부터 최소제곱법을 이용한 커브 피팅을 통해 변형률 분포를 추정하였다. 제시한 다경간 보 연속 구조물의 변형률 추정 기법은 멀티플렉싱이 가능한 FBG센서를 이용하여 다경간 연속 강재 보 정적 가력 실험을 통해 검증하였다. 실험을 통해서 분포 하중과 집중하중에 의한 변형률 분포의 추정 정확성 및 변형률 추정에 사용되는 계측점 수에 따른 추정 오차에 대한 검토를 수행하였다. 5.89 (하중 step1), 6.26% (하중 step2) 오차로 최대 변형률 지점에서의 변형률을 추정할 수 있었다. 추정을 위한 변형률 계측 센서 수를 감소시킨 경우 오차가 증가 (0.26~0.37%)하는 것 또한, 확인할 수 있었다. 회귀분석적 기법을 통해 다경간 보의 변형률 분포를 추정함으로써 특정 형상의 분포 하중에 대해서만 적용이 가능한 해석적 변형률 추정 기법의 한계를 넘어 불특정 분포 하중에 대한 변형률 분포 추정이 가능해졌고 추정 변형률 분포를 통해 최대변형률 발생 위치까지 확인할 수 있게 되었다.
