Vam Cong Cable Stayed Bridge which has 450m main span length is one of the Central Mekong Delta Region Connectivity Project and is located in Cuu Long Delta Region. It has steel-concrete composite girder with 4 lane and the type of cable is multi strand cable. The improved H-shape pylon and cast-in-place bored piles were applied. High strength concrete is applied for pylon, precast concrete slab and Cast-in-Situ concrete pile to ensure the structural safety. The present paper describe the design specifications and main features of Vam Cong Cable Stayed Bridge design.

To effectively secure and execute the national budget, it is very important to estimate the reasonable construction cost of each process in the construction of public facilities and works. The construction cost is generally estimated at the time when the design of the targeted structures has been completed. Without detailed sectional drawings and with only simple information on bridge structures in the planning stage or in the early design stage. it would be very difficult to predict the approximate construction cost. In this study, a more efficient and appropriate approximate construction cost estimation model in the planning stage and in the early design stage is presented and verified as reliable by analyzing the construction cost data of 61 existing steel box girder bridges from previous studies. The results of this study show that when the construction cost that was predicted using the construction cost estimation model in the design stage was compared with the cost from the conventional standards, the suggested model in this study produced results with a very high confidence level.

The joining methods of steel structures of gas facilities, bridges, ships etc. by welding are composed mostly of T-type or cruciform fillet welding and full penetration or partial penetration according to the uses and the shape of the structures. In this study, it was examined the characteristics of fatigue crack according to penetration depth in relation to material thickness in the cruciform fillet welded joints. From the results, it was investigated the safe design stresses within the range of infinite life. When the LOP length is long the range of infinite life is small with root failure and when the LOP length is short the range of infinite life is large with teo failure. For the specimen of material thickness, 20mm welded by 3 pass compared with 10mm, 15mm welded by 2 pass, the fatigue strength and the range of infinite life was more improved by increasing of notch toughness from formation of micro-ferrite acicular structure.

When the in-plane flexural rigidity is small in relation to the applied load, the arch ribs may buckle to the in-plane direction. Designers should therefore determine the in-plane buckling strength. To determine the buckling strength of arch ribs, designers have to consider the material nonlinear response. But in the case of arch ribs having large slenderness ratio, arch ribs may buckle in the elastic range, and when the arch ribs have low slenderness ratio, elastic buckling strength is useful in the preliminary design. In this paper, elastic buckling strength of arch ribs, which are frequently used in practical design, is studied using nonlinear finite element method. In general, the relation between flexural rigidity and elastic buckling strength is linear. As seen from the results, however, when the arch ribs have low slenderness ratio, the relation between flexural rigidity and elastic buckling strength is nonlinear.

Since Modern bridges have a tendency to make the spans continuous and longer, the effect of concrete shrinkage and creep is very important and must be evaluated appropriately for the durability and safety of steel-concrete composite bridges. However, highway design specification in current use prescribes $180^{1\;2}$ as the final shrinkage strain. which is for less value than one resulted from many experimental researches and cause some problems in the construction of composite bridges due to the understimation of shrinkage strain. Thus, in this paper nonlinear analysis with time-steps applying the CEB-FIP(90) provision have been conducted for plate girder bridge, box girder bridge and Preflex beam bridge and the linear equivalent shrinkage strain for the design of composite bridges. which produces the stress equal to the values from the nonlinear analysis, has been calculated by comparing the results with the values following highway design specification. The results yield appropriately double values than $180^{1\;2}$ which highway design specification prescribes.

최근 건설기술의 발전과 함께 강재 케이블을 이용하는 시설물의 시공이 점점 증가하는 추세이다. 특히 현수교, 사장교와 같은 초장대 교량에 사용되는 케이블은 주거더 및 상판에 의한 하중의 대부분을 지지하는 핵심부재이다. 하지만 이러한 케이블 부재는 부식, 파단 등으로 인한 단면손실이 발생할 수 있고, 이로 인한 손상부의 응력집중으로 인해 시설물 전체의 붕괴로 이어질 수 있는 위험성을 가진다. 따라서 조기에 단면손실을 찾아 사고를 미연에 방지할 수 있는 강재 케이블 비파괴 검사 기술기반의 건전성 모니터링이 필수적이다. 이러한 효율적인 건전성 모니터링을 위해 스마트 센서를 활용한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있는데, 그중 대표적인 스마트 센서중 하나인 마그네틱 센서는 높은 신뢰도와 어디에나 적용 가능한 재현성 때문에 구조물 건전성 평가에 적용하기 유용한 기술로 그 적용범위가 선박, 항공등으로 점점 넓어지고 있는 추세이다. 마그네틱 센서는 그 적용대상에 따라 다양한 마그네틱 특성을 활용할 수 있는데, 최근에는 투자율 계측을 통해 케이블의 장력 측정이 가능한 Elasto-Magnetic 센서(E/M 센서)가 개발되었고 그 활용성에 대한 연구가 이뤄지고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 E/M 센서를 이용한 강재 케이블 모니터링 기술을 제안하고자 한다. E/M 센서는 본래 케이블의 장력측정을 위해 개발되었지만 본 연구에서는 강재 케이블 부재의 단면손실 검색을 위해 적용하였다. 제안된 기술의 실험적 검증을 위해 E/M 센서를 이용하여 4가지의 다른 직경을 가지는 강봉시편을 E/M 센서헤드의 1차 코일을 통해 자화시키고, 각각의 직경에서 출력전압을 2차 코일을 이용하여 계측하였다. 그 결과 강봉의 직경이 감소함에 따라 출력 전압이 감소함을 보였다. 반복실험을 통해 해상도 및 선형성이 확보되는 최적의 입력전압과 출력전압의 워킹포인트를 선정하였고, 선정된 조건에서 강봉시편을 일정 간격으로 스캔한 결과 단면감소에 따른 선형적인 출력전압 감소와 동시에 단면 변화 지점에서는 추세선에서 크게 벗어난 출력전압 계측값을 나타내었다. 본 실험을 통해 제안된 E/M 센서를 이용한 강재 케이블 모니터링 기술의 유용성 및 적용가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

ARCI syndrome consists of arthrogryposis, renal tubular acidosis, cholestatic jaundice and icthyosis. We experienced an ARCI syndrome case with corpus callosum hypoplasia and atrial septal defect. This case had oral feeding difficulty, multiple joint contracture, renal tubular acidosis and neurogenic muscular atrophy at neonatal period. At two months of age, icthyosis and cholestatic jaundice were diagnosed. The case was hospitalized due to pneumonia at four months of age. Corpus callosum hypoplasia and atrial septal defect were detected. The case was treated with a mechanical ventilator because pneumonia was aggravated and respiratory failure occurred. The patient expired at five months of age.

There is a big difference of discharge rate between drought and flood period in Korea since the importance of water resources management has come to the fore. To know a river characteristics, it needs to estimate river discharge accurately. River discharge is calculated using the measured velocity of cross section and the estimated area of watercourse as input parameters into continuity equation. Generally, flow rate over a river is estimated from the relation equation between level and discharge, in this case, there are weakness for only the equal depths and the equal discharge estimated. In the present study, therefore, water surface slope was estimated using measured water level of Seongseo water level observation station and measured water level using ADVM at Gangchang Bridge. And then, we developed the discharge calculation equation using water surface slope. A method to easily calculated flow rate from the measured depth of the two points that are suggested by reflecting water surface slope because natural stream is unsteady flow, not uniform flow or not steady flow.

As internal and external seismic experiment results, the seismic performance of RC bridge piers is largely dependent on the ratio of lap-spliced bars to all longitudinal reinforcing bars in plastic hinge regions, and confining effects of transverse reinforcements. Capacity and displacement ductility of non-seismically designed existing RC piers are reduced by lap splices in plastic hinge regions. The provision for the lap splice of longitudinal reinforcing bars was not specified in KBDS (Korean Bridge Design Specifications) before the implementation of 1992 seismic design code, but the ratio of lap-spliced bars to all longitudinal reinforcing bars in plastic hinge regions is restricted to 50% in the 2005 version of KBDS. This paper presents a seismic assessment of RC piers at lap-splicing ratios of 0%, 50%, and 100%. Through a comparison of experimental and analytic results of RC piers, we introduce an appropriate ultimate strain of confined concrete in plastic hinge regions with lap-splices, and propose a method for estimating displacement ductility ratios of non-seismically designed existing RC piers using fiber element analysis.
