This paper presents the response calibration method based on quality control range, which is established from the concept and method of statistical quality control for natural frequency ratio and response ratio. To this end, statistical analysis including descriptive statistics analysis, normality test, ANOVA were performed for response characteristics obtained from loading tests and structural analysis for more than hundred and thirty well-conditioned bridges. Suggested method is based on real structural integrity evaluation case studies and statistical quality control approach, in this respect it is expected to provide scientific criteria and systematic procedure for response calibration and load carrying capacity assessment.

This study predicts the maintenance and operation level of the bridge based on the LCC concept. In order to predict the LCC of the given case, suggested the maintenance and operation level after reviewing other related materials. Apply the real information of the maintenance and operation to the three casesof the maintenance and operation level (real, current, and prevented maintenance and operation level). And based on such analytical measures, maintenance and operation costs and LCC in maintenance and operation level, have been predicted: therefore, suggests the basic information about maintenance and operation level for the bridge. With a result of this study, we could obtain (1)the LCC of PSC-bridge and RC-bridge is more economy than Steel-bridge and (2)more active maintenance and operation of a bridge is absolutely necessary.

현재 우리나라에서 공용중인 강철도교의 50% 이상이 공용기간 50년 이상 경과된 교량으로 구성되어 있는데, 이와 같이 공용기간이 오래된 강교량의 내구성에 영향을 미치는 주된 열화손상으로 피로와 부식이 보고되고 있다. 이 가운데 부식열화현상에 관한 조사에 의하면 부식손상의 대부분은 국부적인 것으로 분류할 수 있으나 부식면적이 대상부재의 25%를 넘는 경우도 부재의 특성에 따라서는 l∼6%에 이르는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 그러나 부식으로 인한 단면감소에 따른 응력 발생 특성에 대한 연구나 실교량에서의 각 부재별 부식손상 정도에 따른 실측자료의 축적이 미흡한 실정이어서 유지관리에서의 부식에 대한 정량적인 평가가 체계적으로 이루어지고 있지 않다.(중략)

3차원 정보모델에 기반한 설계 자동화 프로그램의 개발은 좀 더 완성도가 높은 설계안을 도출할 수 있는 방안을 제시할 수 있다. 콘크리트 교량의 설계 과정에서 정형화된 구조 검토 단계 부분을 자동화하고 설계자로 하여금 좀 더 창의적인 설계가 가능하도록 지원하는 시스템을 개발하였다. 특히, 3차원 Building Information Modeling 기반의 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 박스 거더교에 대한 설계 자동화 시스템을 개발하였다. 이를 위하여 3차원 렌더링 알고리즘을 사용하여, 사용자가 원하는 단면 위치 및 분류 체계에 따라 설계를 자동으로 수행할 수 있도록 적용하였다. 또한 생성된 도면은 데이터 호환이 가능함으로써, 사용자의 편의성이 향상될 것으로 판단된다. 이는 설계자동화 분야에서 강교에 국한되었던 점을 콘크리트교를 포함한 주요 교량으로 확대하고 설계 성과품으로 3차원 모델을 도출할 뿐 아니라 2차원 도면을 연계하도록 구성하여 토목 엔지니어의 기술력을 향상시킬 것으로 기대된다.

To reduce the amount of seismic damage, several design codes are being improved considering the earthquake resistant systems, and many researches are being conducted to develop the earthquake damage evaluation techniques. This study develops the Korean seismic fragility function using the modified HAZUS method applicable to PSC-I girder bridges in Korea. The major coefficients are modified considering the difference between the seismic design levels of America and Korea. Seismic fragility function of the PSC-I girder bridge (one of the standard bridge types in Korea) is evaluated using two methods: numerical analysis and modified HAZUS method. The main coefficients are obtained about 70% of the proposed values in HAZUS. It is found that the seismic fragility function obtained using the modified HAZUS method closes to the fragility function obtained by conventional numerical analysis method.

In Korea more than ninety bridges are collapsed every year by flood, which causes the scour of pier foundation. Researches on the quantitative assessment method to assess the integrity of bridge against scour have not been organized systematically in the bridge design practice and maintenance area. In this study, dynamic characteristics assessment experiments are carried out as an emergency inspection method to assess the integrity of the pier foundation for scour after a flood. According to the dynamic characteristics assessment experiment, which simulates foundation scour of the spread footing pier, foundation scour can be evaluated by the first mode natural frequency of the pier.

As the results of the information project, manufacturing of the digital map and various thematic maps of the national land has been completed. Furthermore, it is necessary to organize a systemized management system, which can control and utilize all artificial features (e.g. buildings, roads, bridges etc.) as well as natural geographic features (e.g. rivers etc). Howener, it has difficulties in managing NGIS as a unified system, because of the discordance of DB of each geographic management organizations. Therefore, this study has been conducted to apply to the system and method providing geographic UFID that can be a key in order to managing, searching and utilizing geographic and artificial features and that makes it be able to estimate the location with the only identifier. Moreover, the system and method, providing geographic UFID, applies to systemized management of NGIS DB as well as consistency of information.

As construction projects became larger and longer, the need for the construction technologies and innovative construction processes has been continuously increased in construction field. In response to this trend, construction industries tried to adopt the concurrent engineering which had been normally applied for manufacturing industries to develop the products with improved quality in a reduced time. However, the application of the concurrent engineering to construction field was limited due to the lack of advanced management system and incomplete theoretical backgrounds. In this regard, this study attempted to develop a checklist for the successful application of concurrent engineering to bridge projects. To this end, this study presents the checklist for the application of concurrent engineering to construction projects. Further, the checklist was modified and updated to reflect the specific feature of the bridge construction using expert interviews. With the help of additional 188 experts, a questionnaire-based survey was also conducted to validate the checklist. In addition, using importance-performance analysis(IPA), the study identified the factors needed for intensive improvement. Consequently, the proposed checklist is expected to be useful, because it improves the applicability of the concurrent engineering in that it enables managers to monitor construction progress and further to protect the project from potential risks.

The reliability evaluation may be a efficient method for estimating of the quantitative structural safety considering the effect of uncertainties included in high-speed railway bridges. The expected life-cycle cost(LCC) based upon the reliability evaluation will reasonably offer the safety level and design criteria of high-speed railway bridges. Therefore, this study determined the expected life-cycle cost and optimal design method of high-speed railway bridges on the basis of the result of the numerical analysis and reliability evaluation. For this, after creating various design method based upon the standard design of high-speed railway bridges, the numerical analysis is conducted on each of the alternative design methods. The reliability evaluation by the design strength limit state function is conducted considering the effect of external uncertainties on the basis of the numerical analysis result. The expected life-cycle cost of high-speed railway bridges is calculated on the basis of the reliability evaluation result by each of the alternative design methods. Also, the optimal design method is determined using the calculated expected life-cycle cost. In addition, The result of reliability evaluation and expected life-cycle cost of optimal design method are examined considering the effect of internal uncertainties. It is expected that the result of this study can be used as a basic information for the systematic safety evaluation and optimal structure design of high-speed railway bridges.
