In this paper, the experiments to decide the riprap size for the local scour protection at bridge piers and the coefficients of attack angle were conducted. A formula for the decision of the riprap size and a figure for the coefficients of attack angle were suggested based upon the experimental results. The coefficients of attack angle indicate different values based on the variation of the length-width ratio of bridge pier and the coefficients are increased by the increment of the attack angle. In this paper, the experiments using the piers having the opening ratios of 90%, 92.86% and 95% were conducted. Also, the attack angles 0$^{\circ}$, 15$^{\circ}$, 30$^{\circ}$, 45$^{\circ}$ and 60$^{\circ}$ as well as four different length-width ratios of the bridge pier were utilized. The suggested formula were compared with 6 different formulas and the riprap sizes calculated using the equation suggested in this paper indicate the similar patterns with the formula suggested by Richardson. The suggested formula in this paper can be widely applied in the riprap design for the local scour protection around the bridge pier with the consideration of the attack angle to the flow.

The bridge piers under service suffered a brittle failure due to the deterioration of lap-spliced longitudinal reinforcement without developing its flexural capacity or ductility. The earthquake induced lateral force results in tension which causes bond-slip failure at the lap-spliced region in circular bridge piers. In this case, such a brittle failure can be controlled by the seismic retrofit using FRP laminated circular tube. The retrofitted piers using FRP laminated circular tube showed significant improvement in seismic performance due to FRP's confinement effect. This paper presents the analytical results on the seismic strengthening effect of circular bridge piers with poor lap-splice details and strengthened with FRP laminated circular tube. FRP's confinement effect is predicted by the classical elasticity solution for the laminated circular tube manufactured with several layers. The FRP laminated circular tube induces the flexural failure instead of a bond-slip failure of the circular reinforced concrete piers under seismic induced lateral forces. To investigate the correctness and effectiveness of analytical solution derived in this study, the analytical results were compared with the experimental data and it was confirmed that the results were correlated well each other, The effects on the confinement of FRP laminated circular tube, such as the number of layers, the fiber orientations, and the mechanical properties, were investigated. From the parametric study, it was found that the number of layers, the fiber orientations, and the major Young's modulus (E11) of the FRP laminated circular tube were the dominant parameters affecting the confinement of reinforced concrete circular bridge piers.

Since the 1960s, traffic infrastructure, such as bridges, has increased rapidly in Korea as urbanization and industrialization progressed due to economic growth. As the scale of the bridge becomes larger, stability analysis of the superstructure of the bridge is being conducted actively, but scour stability analysis for the substructure of the bridge has not been conducted sufficiently. This study is a basic investigation to prevent large-scale disasters caused by scouring in bridge piers. A simple linear regression model was used to analyze the scour depth calculated through seventeen scour depth calculation formulae, and the scour depth measured through hydraulic model experiments. As a result, the Coleman (1971) formula was the best method among the scour depth calculation formulae, and the Froehlich (1987) formula was the most effective method for calculating the scour depth. In addition, a review using a simple regression model confirmed that the scour depth calculation formulae of CSU (1993), Coleman (1971), and Froehlich (1987) can predict a similar scour depth by reflecting domestic stream characteristics. This study can calculate the scour depth reflecting the environmental conditions of Korea in future stream design.

In performing the structural analysis, the foundation is considered to be a fixed end as a plastic hinge model. In this study, the displacements of the foundation, pier, and shoe were compared when the foundation modeled as a fixed end, a shallow foundation constructed on bedrock of 2m depth, and a pile foundation constructed in the 10m to 20m depth of bedrock. The shear force was also compared, and the probability of damage was calculated and compared for the critical condition. When calculated as a fixed end, the displacement of the foundation converged to 0mm, but the shallow foundation built on the bedrock with a depth of 2m caused relatively displacement, and the pile foundation constructed to contact the bedrock with a depth of 18m caused a larger displacement. In addition, it was analyzed that the displacement of the foundation, which is the lower structure, affects the displacement of the super structure, but the difference in shear force applied to the foundation was insignificant in the three cases. There was no difference between the shallow foundation and the pile foundation in the influence on the displacement of the top of the pier, but there was a big difference from the analysis assuming as a fixed end.

국부세굴의 발생은 일반적으로 흐름조건, 구조물 조건과 하상재료 세 가지의 주 원인으로 구분할 수 있다. 흐름조건의 경우 구조물 영향으로 발생되는 3차원적인 와류가 주요원인이며 하상재료의 경우 여러 요인이 있겠지만 비중이 같은 입자라 가정할 경우 입자의 크기를 주요 변수로 정할 수 있다. 교각 국부세굴에 관한 연구는 1960년대 이후 연구자들에 의해 매우 다양하게 수행되어 졌으며 많은 산정공식도 제시되었다. 하지만 기존 연구는 최대세굴심 조건으로 다양한 하상재료와 시간에 대한 세굴변동(홍수사상 등)에 대한 영향을 고려하는데 어려움이 있다. 특히 국내의 경우 다양한 하상재료와 홍수빈도를 고려할 때 이에 대한 세굴적용은 매우 중요한 인자라 할 수 있다. 따라서 교각세굴에 대한 궁극적인 목적은 다양한 하상재료와 홍수빈도를 고려할 수 있는 세굴평가를 제안하는데 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 우선적인 연구로 입자의 다양성과 이미지 기법을 이용한 실시간 측정을 통해 보완하여 입자에 따른 시간적 변화를 분석하였다. 현재 4가지의 하상재료의 입경차이에 따른 국부세굴의 시간적 변화와 초기세굴 발생의 수리적 조건을 파악하고 기존연구와 비교분석하였으며, 이를 기초자료로 세굴심$(S,\;S_{max})$, 교량주변 전단력$({\tau}_p,\;{\tau}_{pc})$, 접근수로부 전단력$({\tau}_a)$와 입자한계전단력$({\tau}_c)$에 대한 시간분석 (time effect)을 통해 다양한 하상재료와 홍수빈도를 해석을 위한 초기분석을 수행하는데 목적이 있다. 수리모형실험에 사용된 가변경사수로의 제원은 $0.6m(W){\times}20m(L){\times}2m(H)$이며 모형구조물은 투명한 아크릴로 제작하였다. 실험방법은 교각 내부에 CC카메라를 전 후면 및 상측면에 설치하여 세굴 발생을 실시간으로 촬영한 후 이미지 분석을 통해 분석하였다.

The objective of this research is to investigate the seismic performance and flexure-shear behavior of square reinforced concrete bridge piers with solid and hollow cross section. Test specimens were nonseismically designed with the aspect ratio 4.5 Two reinforced concrete columns were tested under constant axial load while subjected to lateral load reversals with increasing drift levels. Longitudinal steel ratio was 2.217 percent. The transverse reinforcement ratio As/($s{\cdot}h$), corresponding to 58 percent of the minimum lateral reinforcement required by Korean Bridge Design Specifications for seismic detailing, which represent existing columns not designed by the current seismic design specifications or designed by limited ductility concept. This study are to provide quantitative reference data for the limited ductility design concept and tendency for performance or damage assessment based on the performance levels such as cracking, yielding, collapse, etc. Failure behavior, ultimate displacement/drift ratio, displacement ductility, response modification factor, equivalent viscous damping ratio, residual deformation, effective stiffness, plastic hinge length, strain of reinforcements and nonlinear analysis are investigated and discussed in this paper.

The seismic design concept of RC bridges is to attain the proper ductility of piers, yielding a ductile failure mechanism. Therefore, seismic design force for moment is determined by introducing a response modification factor (R), and lateral reinforcements to confine core concrete are specified in the current design code. However, these design provisions have irrationality, which results in excessive amounts of lateral reinforcements for columns in Korea, which are generally designed with large sections. To improve on these provisions, a new design method based on seismic performance has been proposed. To apply this to hollow sectional columns, however, further investigations and improvements must be performed, due to the different seismic behaviors and confinement effects. In this study, hollow sectional columns with different lap-splice of longitudinal bars and lateral reinforcements have been tested. Seismic characteristics and performance were investigated quantitatively. These research results can be used to derive a performance-based design for hollow sectional columns.

Recently, as steel structures become higher and more long-spanned, application of high-strength steels is increasing gradually. For seismic design of steel structures using high-strength steels(POSTEN60, POSTEN80), analytical method, can describe the large deformation and inelastic cyclic behavior generated by non-proportional cyclic loading, are required. In this paper, cyclic plasticity model was proposed by results of monotonic loading tests ant cyclic loading tests. Three-dimensional finite element analysis is developed by using proposed model and finite deformation theory and verified as compare with experiment result. Using 3-dimensional elastic-plastic finite deformation analysis, seismic analysis of high-strength steel pipe-section piers are carried out. Also, seismic performance of high-strength steel pipe-section piers in parameter of diameter-thickness ratio was clarified.

The finite element method and statistics of the convergence measurement are useful method of the stability analysis of the tunnel adjacent to the pier. It is the purpose of the this case study to certificate of validity of the application of those methods. The safety of the pilot tunnel method and LW pre-grouting has been evaluated from the FEM analysis. The three-dimensional finite element method is carried out for the decision of the level of stress redistribution at the two-dimensional numerical analysis. An analysis of the convergence is carried out by the estimation of preceding convergence at tunnel excavation. F-examination is applied for this estimation. As results of that analysis, The F-value is from 10.81 to 158.74 and the coefficient of determination is from 0.82 to 0.99. An analysis of convergence is carried out by using regression analysis. Consequently, it is shown that the convergence can be modeled as following function C(t) = a[1-exp(-bt)].
