Abstract

This study was conducted to propose a simple method to evaluate the load-carrying capacity of RC slab bridges, which have been most frequently constructed in Korea. A number of RC slab bridges have been considerably deteriorated associate with the long service year. However, since these bridges are not included in the 1st and 2nd class infrastructures due to their short span length, they have been relatively neglected compared to other bridge types in terms of safety management. In the previous theoretical study, a process (draft) was proposed for evaluating the damage of RC slab bridges using the relationship between the displacement response ratio and the stiffness reduction rate derived by the measured displacement and natural frequency. In this paper, to verify the validity of the proposed damage evaluation process (draft), the results to the actual bridges were compared with the safety grade and the Matsui's deterioration index. In addition, to enhance the practical applicability of the existing process (draft), an improved method approximately evaluating the load-carrying capacity using only the measured natural frequency was presented. If an error of 10% of the load-carrying capacity is allowed, it is judged that the proposed damage evaluation process can be appropriately used not only for evaluating the safety of RC slab bridges, but also for determining priorities for their maintenance.

이 연구는 국내 공용 중인 교량 형식 중 건설 빈도가 가장 높은 RC 슬래브 교량의 공용내하력을 간단하게 평가할 수 있는 방안에 관한 것이다. 다수의 RC 슬래브 교량이 오랜 공용기간으로 인해 상당한 노후화가 진행된 상태지만, 교량의 규모 상 1, 2종 시설물에 포함되지 않아 그동안 안전 관리에 소홀한 측면이 있다. 기존의 이론적 선행연구에서는 실측 처짐 및 실측 고유진동수에 의해 도출된 처짐응답비와 강성저하율의 관계를 이용한 RC 슬래브 교량의 손상도 평가 프로세스(안)이 제시된 바 있다. 이 연구에서는 손상도 평가 프로세스(안)의 적정성을 검토하기 위해 실 교량에 대한 평가 결과를 시설물 안전법의 안전등급 및 Matsui의 노후도 지수와 비교·검토하였다. 또한 손상도 평가 프로세스(안)의 현장적용성을 향상시켜 실측 고유진동수만으로 개략적인 공용내하력을 평가하는 개선된 방안을 제시하였다. 연구결과, 10% 정도의 공용내하력 평가 결과의 오차를 허용하는 경우, 이 연구에서 제시된 방법은 노후화된 RC 슬래브 교량의 안전성 평가 및 유지보수 우선순위 산정 등에 효율적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.
