Piles of a bridge pier are connected with the column through the pile cap (footing). Behavior of the pile foundation can be different according to the connection method between piles and the pile cap. Connection methods between pile heads and the pile cap are divided into two groups : rigid connections and hinge connections. Domestic design code has been specified to use rigid connection method for the highway bridge. In the rigid connection method, maximum bending moment of a pile occurs at the pile head and this helps the pile to prevent the excessive displacement. Rigid methods are also good to improve the seismic performance. However, some specifications prescribe that conservative results through investigations of both the fixed-head condition and the free-head condition should be reflected in the design. This statement may induce an over-estimated design for the bridge which has high-quality structures with casing covered drilled shafts and the PC-house contained pile cap. Because the assumption of free-head conditions (hinge connections) is unreal for the elevated pile cap system with multiple piles of the long span sea-crossing bridges. On the other hand, elastic displacement method to evaluate the pile reactions under the pile cap is not suitable for this type of bridges due to impractical assumptions. So, full modeling techniques which analyze the superstructure and the substructure simultaneously should be performed. Loads and stress state of the large diameter drilled shaft and the pile cap for Incheon Bridge which will be the longest bridge of Korea were investigated through the full modeling for rigid connection conditions.

Bridge Control and Inspection ensures the safety, utility, and durability of Bridge in use. This Paper compares Control-interval of Germany with that of Korea, which was described in the special law recently revised concerning the Safety Checkup of Facilities, and analyzes Period of Damage Discovery that the Damage report of other countries showed. According to a result of the analysis, damage requiring structure repair and reinforcement more frequently been discovered even in less than a decade after the completion of construction. The paper, therefore, suggested the reregulation on the Korean Control Interval on the basis of the result.

두가현수교는 2010년 8월 집중호우로 인해 유실된 교량을 복구하기 위한 과업으로서 향후 재발방지를 위해 중앙 경간장을 증가시켜 통수단면적을 추가확보하고, 교량 여유고를 상향시켜 수해에 대비한 견고한 교량으로 계획하였다. 또한 보행자의 통행을 위한 보도육교의 특성을 고려하여 지역의 관광자원이 될 수 있도록 중앙경간 125m의 V형 주탑 3차원 보도현수교로 설계하였다. 보강거더는 H-Beam을 이용하여 자재 수급 및 취급이 용이하며 강재 바닥판을 적용하여 보다 경량화된 보강거더를 적용함으로써 주케이블의 장력 감소에도 기여하도록 하였으며, 행어정착을 위한 별도의 정착거더를 채택한 ${\pi}$형식을 채택하여 풍동실험을 통해 내풍 안정성을 확인하였다. 주케이블 및 행어는 미관, 구조적 안정성, 유지관리성 및 가설의 용이함을 고려하여 PE를 피복한 PWS케이블을 선정하였다. 경관을 고려한 V형 주탑을 이용한 3차원 케이블을 채택하여 지역의 상징물을 표현하였으며 기초의 규모를 최소화 하였다. 또한 H형 및 A형 주탑과의 비교를 통해 V형 주탑 교량의 특성을 검토하였다.

본 연구의 목적은 DGPS 기법을 이용하여 장대교량의 거동을 모니터링하는 기술을 개발하는데 있다. GPS 센서를 이용한 교량거동 모니터링 기술은 다수의 GPS 센서를 시설물 외부에 설치하여 전체적인 거동상태를 모니터링 함으로써 순간적인 세부변위는 물론 장기간의 관측을 통한 기초침하, 크리프 릴렉세이션 등의 거동까지 실시간으로 모니터링 할 수 있는 기술이다. 본 연구의 최종 성과물은 안전관리 대상 주요 시설물의 거동을 비접촉 방식으로 감시하고 그 결과를 그래픽으로 화면을 통하여 사용자에게 제공함으로써 사용자의 직관적인 이해도를 높일 수 있을 것으로 기대되며, 장대교량, 터널, 댐, 건물 등 대형시설물의 거동을 효과적으로 감시하고 그 결과를 전송할 수 있어 광범위하게 사용이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Estimating appropriate construction cost at the design phase is judged with one important issue to the efficient security and the execution of budget. Therefore, in this paper, to build fundamental data of appropriate construction cost for steel box bridges, the existing calculated document such as the quantity, unit price document and detail items etc.. was analyzed and the basic specification of the bridges was investigated. Also, by estimating the relationship between predetermined cost and construction items on the bridges, the paper is intended to produce basic data for the calculation of appropriate construction cost in planning phase. From the result, it was calculated ratio of construction item in the total construction cost and unit cost. And then it was deduced effect factor of construction cost in steel box bridge.

This study is performed to understand complex behavior and to investigate the rational analysis methods for seismic design of the curved bridges. To analyze the curved bridges for the seismic loadings, it is used that the finite element analysis program has the 7-dof curved beam and straight beam element. The free vibration characteristics of the curved bridges are compared with the straight bridges that have span length same as the average arc length of inside and outside girder of those. For the same case, the dynamic behavior is compared under seismic loadings. It is found that regular bridges classified by AASHTO are analyzed as if those were straight. To investigate the dynamic behavior of general curved bridges under seismic loading, the seismic loading directions and the subtended angle of curved bridges are varied.

This study proposes a practical and realistic method to establish an optimal lifetime maintenance strategy for deteriorating bridges by considering the life-cycle performance as well as the life-cycle cost. The proposed method offers a set of optimal tradeoff maintenance scenarios among other conflicting objectives, such as minimizing cost and maximizing performance. A genetic algorithm is used to generate a set of maintenance scenarios that is a multi-objective combinatorial optimization problem related to the and the life-cycle cost and performance as separate objective functions. A computer program, which generates optimal maintenance scenarios, was developed based on the proposed method. The subordinate relation between bridge members has been considered to decide optimal maintenance sequence. The developed program has been used to present a procedure for finding an optimal maintenance scenario for steel-girder bridges on the Korean National Road. Through this bridge maintenance scenario analysis, it is expected that the developed method and program can be effectively used to allow bridge managers an optimal maintenance strategy satisfying various constraints and requirements.

In Korea, the construction of the first high-speed railroad on the Seoul-Pusan Corridor has already started 3 years ago, in the paper, an attempt is made to develop reliability-based safety and capacity evaluation models for the computer-aided maintenance of the high-speed railroad bridges. The strength limit state models of PC railroad bridges for reliability analysis encompass both the single failure mode such as bending or shear strength and the combined interaction equations which simultaneously take into account flexures, shear and torsion. Then, the actual load carrying capacity and the realistic safety of bridges are evaluated using the system reliability-based equivalent strength, and the results are compared with those of the element reliability based or conventional methods. It is concluded that the proposed models may be appropriately applied in practice for the realistic assessment of safety and capacity of high-speed railroad bridges.
