When the pier is constructed in the cohesive be, the accuracy maynot be obtained because the equation for calculating the scour at piers is based upon the results which are analyzed through the experiments in the non-cohesive bed. In this paper, the variation of the depth of the pier scour occurred by constructing 5 types of pier in the channel having the cohesive material is examined. The experimental results are analyzed based upon Froude numbers and non-dimensional numbers which are indicated as the flow depths compared to the pier width. The results are also compared with the results obtained using the existing pier scour equations. In this paper, the shape factors, which can be used for calculating the scour depth of the pier in the cohesive channel bed, are suggested. The shape factors are indicated through the ratios between the scour depth at the circular pier and the scour depths at the different types of pier, and are suggested as two stages. In the first stage, in which the water depth compared to the pier width is less than 1.2, the shape factors are given as the equations. However, in the second stage the shape factors are given as the constant values. It is understood that the shape factors suggested in this paper can be properly usd for calculating local scour at piers in the bridges which are constructed in the cohesive channel bed having the characteristics of the bed material which is used in these experiments. Keywords : local scour, maximum scour depth, cohesive bed material, pier shape, pier, shape factor.

This paper deals with the shaking table test(STT), the Quasi-Static Test(QST), and the Pseudo-Dynamic Test(PDT) to evaluate the seismic performance of RC bridge piers under near fault ground motion. Five scaled specimens were constructed the weight of the superstructure was applied through the prestressing strand at the centroid of the column section during the QST and PDT. However, the STT was simulated. The lateral inertia force of the superstructure by the mass frame which was linked with the pier because of the limited payload of shaking table. Particularly for the STT, friction underneath the mass frame was minimized by special details and it was verified by a series of pre-load test. Scale factor of the RC piers was 4.25.

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.

최근 들어 다양한 산업에서 3차원 수치해석을 이용하는 영역이 넓혀지고 있다. 국내에서도 3차원 수치해석을 이용하여 댐이나 정수처리시설 설계 등 수리분야에 적용하였고, 점점 그 이용이 확대되고 있다. 특히 교량 및 수제 등의 수공구조물로 인한 주변 흐름형상은 2차원 해석이 불가능하여 현재 수리모형실험을 통한 해석이 주를 이루고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 현재 3차원 수치해석에 많이 이용되는 상용모델인 FLOW-3D를 이용하여 3차원 흐름에 대한 수치해석을 수행하였으며 수리모형 결과와 비교하여 적용성을 검토하였다. 그 결과 모의 및 실험결과 수리모형과 수치모의 결과는 서로 비슷한 흐름양상을 보이고 있었다. 또한 조도계수(Roughness)를 매개변수로 하여 다양한 상태에서의 FLOW-3D의 민감도를 검토하였으나 실제 흐름과는 상이함을 보였다 또한 다양한 난류모형을 적용하여 그 결과를 실제 흐름과 비교해보았다. 그 결과 3차원모형에서는 교각 후면부와 좌, 우측면부에서의 흐름이 실제 수리 모형과는 상이한 결과를 보이는데 이는 FLOW-3D의 벽 경계 및 와류에 대한 난류모델에 따른 수치해석적인 차이로 사료된다.

The capacity spectrum method(CSM) has been more frequently used as a tool to evaluate the seismic capacity of the structure. Many formulas of strength reduction factors(SRF) have been proposed and adopted to generate the inelastic demand spectrum for the CSM. This study evaluates the impacts of the type of the SRF on the inelastic demand spectrum and finally on the seismic response displacement of curved bridge. For the purpose, the several existing formulas of SRFs were comparatively investigated through the case study. Curved bridges with different subtended angles were selected and the displacements of the bridge piers were estimated by using the different formulas of SRFs. Nonlinear time history analyses were also performed for the validation purpose of the CSM results. According to study results, the CSM may generate the larger displacement responses than the actual behaviors for the curved bridge with larger subtended angles. Though many methods have been suggested to generate the inelastic demand spectrum for CSM, they might not give noticeable differences in inelastic displacement of the bridge pier.

농업용수 및 친수공간 확보, 경관 향상 등의 다양한 목적을 위한 보의 건설은 하천의 흐름을 차단하여 보를 기준으로 상 하류의 흐름특성을 변하게 하고 토사퇴적에 많은 영향을 미치게 된다. 토사의 퇴적으로 인해 하상이 상승되면 홍수시 홍수위 상승에 의한 치수적인 문제점이 발생하고 토사의 침식이나 공급차단으로 인해 하상이 저하되면 하상세굴로 인해 교각이나 수위관측소와 같은 하천시설물의 기능이 저하되며 하천부지의 변화 등 하천유역 관리에 많은 영향을 준다. 따라서 보 상 하류의 하상변동을 예측하고 분석하는 것은 하천 관리에 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 공주보 건설 기간 중 공주보를 기준으로 상 하류의 하상변동 및 퇴적 토사의 입도 변화양상을 조사하기 위해 모니터링 지점을 선정하였고, 하상단면 수심측정기를 이용하여 하상의 형상 모니터링을 통해 하상변동 양상을 분석하였으며 토사시료를 채취하여 하상재료 입도분포를 분석하였다. 그 결과 공주보 상류 모니터링 지점의 하상 평균높이가 0.52m 낮아진 것으로 측정되었고, 하류 모니터링 지점 역시 하상고의 평균 높이가 0.36m 저하된 것으로 측정되었으며, 하상형상의 모습은 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 보의 건설로 상류측의 토사퇴적이 예상 되었으나 모니터링 시에는 수문이 개방되어 하천의 흐름이 비교적 원활하여 보 상류측에 토사의 퇴적현상이 발생하지 않은 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 하상재료를 채취하여 균등계수 및 곡률계수를 통해 입도분포를 분석한 결과 체가름시험 규정에 의해 '나쁜입도'로 분류되었다.

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.

하천에서 호안이나 교량의 교각 등은 홍수 시 주변 하상의 세굴에 의한 피해가 많이 발생한다. 하상보호를 위해서 하천 수공구조물 주변 하상에 자갈, 호박돌, 전석 등을 깔기도 한다. 이 재료들은 다공성 집단을 이루며 유수에 의한 소류력과 항력이 작용한다. 다공성 집단체 공극의 흐름에 의한 항력은 외부 흐름이 가하는 소류력에 비해 작으나 집단의 안정성에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 집단체에 작용하는 항력은 공극 내의 흐름의 유속과 항력계수를 이용하여 구할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 다공성 매질 내 흐름에 대한 항력계수를 조사하기 위하여 수리실험을 이용하여 자갈 매질의 공극을 흐르는 물이 일으킨 항력과 동수경사를 측정하였다. 수리실험을 위한 대공극 매질은 상업용 연마 자갈을 사용하여 크기에 따라 작은 자갈(5~10mm), 중간자갈(15~25mm), 큰 자갈(25~50mm)로 구분하였다. 대표입경 D₅₀은 작은 자갈 8.0 mm, 중간 자갈 17.6 mm, 큰 자갈 32.2 mm이고, 형상계수는 각각 0.28~0.74, 0.29~0.58, 0.38~0.68의 범위였다. 자갈 매질의 공극율은 각각 0.405~0.422이었다. 매질 내의 흐름 길이는 24.2cm로 하였다. 실험결과 자갈 매질 내 흐름의 입자 레이놀즈수 Re_p에 따른 내부항력 F_D와 항력계수 C_D는 Fig. 1 및 Fig. 2와 같다. 실험에서 Re_p는 31.5~3,175.4였다. 자갈 매질의 내부항력은 Re_p가 증가하면 비선형적으로 증가하였으며 입자가 클수록 작았다. 항력계수는 작은 자갈과 중간 자갈 매질에 차이가 거의 없었으나 큰 자갈의 경우 작은 것으로 나타났다.

Seismic structure pounding between adjacent superstructures may induce the destruction of pier and bridge superstructures and cause local damage that leads to the collapse of the whole bridge system. The pounding problem is related to the expansion of joints, gap distance and seismic response of the abutments. In this research, methods of the contact element approach, the linear spring model, the Kelvin-Voigt model and the Hertz model were studied to analyse the pounding characteristics. The shaking table test for a model specimen such as a bridge superstructure with elastomeric bearings was performed to evaluate the contact element approach methods. Relationships between the time history response from the numerical analysis results and the measured response from the shaking table test are compared. The experimental results were not well matched with the numerical analysis results using the existing pounding stiffness models. Therefore, in this study, coefficients are proposed to calculate the appropriate pounding stiffness ratio.
