‘Korean Highway Bridge Design Code’ provides the spectrum analysis method with response modification factors for the seismic design of typical bridges. However, considering that korean peninsula is classified as moderate seismic regions and domestic circumstances for bridge design and construction are different from other countries, the applicability of this code is not yet proved. Therefore it is required to verify that applying the spectrum analysis method fulfills the no collapse requirement which is set forth as the basic seismic design concept. In this study two typical bridges with T and ${\prod}$ type piers are selected as analysis bridges and seismic designs are carried out by applying the spectrum analysis method with design conditions given for moderate seismic regions. Based on the results obtained through deign procedures, the role of the response modification factors and fulfillment of the no collapse requirement are discussed, from which supplementary provisions for the design code are identified.

In this paper, the evaluation procedure applying the limit state design method is studied to be consistent with the newly issued bridge design code in Korea. The live load factor for evaluation is proposed by calibrating for the target reliability index through reliability analysis. Using the actual bridge information collected for the representative bridge types in Korea, the load effects of the design live loads for the previous and current design codes are calculated and compared. The live load factor is calibrated through reliability analysis using the minimum required strength which equals to the load effect obtained for the example bridge. Bridge evaluation is performed by applying the live load factors for the evaluation level as well as design level. The load rating result is generally increased by applying the limit state design method compared to the previous design method and applying the proposed load factor for lowered target reliability index further increased the rating result.

유량측정은 측정방법에 따라 측정위치가 변동된다. 도섭법은 관측자가 직접 하천을 횡단하며 측정하는 방법이며 수심이 얕은 경우 가능하다. 보트법의 경우 상대적으로 공간적 제약을 덜 받으며 교량법의 경우 이용 가능한 교량이 있어야 한다. 따라서 교량법은 현장여건에 따라 관측소와 멀리 떨어져 있는 경우가 있으며 이 경우 측정된 유량을 이용하여 수위-유량관계곡선식을 개발한다면 그 정확도가 떨어질 수 있다. 미국지질조사국(USGS)에서는 관측소와 측정위치가 멀리 떨어진 경우 측정된 유량을 보정하도록 규정하고 있다. 우리나라의 경우 유량 보정을 실시하지 않는 것으로 파악되었다. 하지만 이는 수위-유량관계곡선식, 특히 외삽부분에서 큰 오류를 유발할 수도 있어 신중할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 수위관측소와 측정위치가 현저하게 먼 경우 유량 보정방법을 살펴보고 실측유량과 보정유량의 차이를 확인하였다. 대상지점인 낙동강 유역의 안동시(운산리) 지점은 홍수측정위치와 수위관측소 위치가 약 1.7km 이격되어 있으며, 2020년 측정성과(부자)를 이용하여 이를 보정하고 그 차이를 확인하였다. 보정결과 실측유량과 보정유량이 최고 5.0%, 평균 3.7% 차이를 보이는 것으로 확인되었다. 안동시(운산리)지점은 2020년 측정 최고수위가 3.35m이며, 이는 평수위에서 약 2.00m 가량 상승한 것으로 최고 홍수위로 보기는 어렵다. 즉 이보다 더 큰 홍수 사상이 발생하여 수위가 더 상승한다면 실측유량과 보정유량의 차이는 더 커질 것으로 예상된다. 또한 수위관측소와 측정위치가 이격된 경우 측정된 성과가 루프(Loop) 형태를 보일 수 있어 보정이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

Bridges are rated at two levels by either Load Factor Design (LFD) or Allowable Stress Design (ASD). The lower level rating is called Inventory Rating and the upper level rating is called Operating Rating. To maintain bridges effectively, there is an urgent need to assess actual bridge loading carrying capacity and to predict their remaining life from a system reliability viewpoint. The lifetime functions are introduced and explained to predict the time-dependent failure probability. The bridge studied in this paper was built 30 years ago in rural area. For this bridge, the load test and rehabilitation were conducted. The time-dependent system failure probability is predicted with or without rehabilitation. As a case study, an optional rehabilitation is suggested, and fir this rehabilitation, load rating is computed and the time-dependent system failure probability is predicted. Based on rehabilitation costs and extended service lifes, the optimal rehabilitation is suggested.

In this paper, numerical analysis method to perform linear dynamic analysis of bridge considering the road surface roughness and bridge-vehicle interaction when vehicle is moving on bridge is presented. The vehicle and bridge are modeled as three-dimension where contact length of tire and pitching of tandem spring are considered and single truck with 2-axles and 3- axles, and tractor-trailer with 5-axles are modeled as 7-D.O.F., 8-D.O.F., and 14-D.O.F., respectively. Dynamic equations of vehicle are derived from the Lagrange's equation and solution of the equation is obtained by Newmark-${\beta}$ method. The surface roughness of bridge deck for this analysis is generated from power spectral density (PSD) function. Beam element for the main girder, shell element for concrete deck and rigid link between main girder and concrete deck are used. The equations of the motion of bridges are solved by mode-superposition procedures. The proposed procedure is validated by comparing the results with the experimental data by Whittemore and Fenves.

According to design specifications for structural safety, a bridge in initial design step has been modelled to have larger self-weight, external loads and less stiffness than those of real one in service. Thereby measured buffeting responses of existing bridge show different distributions from those of the design model in design step. In order to obtain accurate buffeting responses of the in-site bridge, the analysis model needs to be modified by considering the measured natural frequencies. Until now, a Manual Tuning Method (MTM) has been widely used to obtain the Measurement-based Model(MBM) that has equal natural frequencies to the real bridge. However, since state variables can be selected randomly and its result is not apt to converge exact rapidly, MTM takes a lot of effort and elapsed time. This study presents Buffeting Response Correction Method (BRCM) to obtain more exact buffeting response above MTM. The BRCM is based on the idea the commonly used frequency domain buffeting analysis does not need all structural properties except mode shapes, natural frequencies and damping ratio. BRCM is used to improve each modal buffeting responses of the design model by substituting measured natural frequencies. The measured natural frequencies are determined from acceleration time-history in ordinary vibration of the real bridge. As illustrated examples, simple beam is applied to compare the results of BRCM with those of a assumed MBM by numerical simulation. Buffeting responses of BRCM are shown to be appropriate for those of in-site bridge and the difference is less than 3% between the responses of BRCM and MTM. Therefore, BRCM can calculate easily and conveniently the buffeting responses and improve effectively maintenance and management of in-site bridge than MTM.

In this study, both experimental and analytical study for behavior of the existing composite steel box girder bridges, constructed along with the procedure of continuous placing slab, are conducted to establish the validity of the proposed model. The layer approach is adopted to determine the equilibrium condition in a section to consider the different material properties and concrete cracking across the sectional depth, and the beam element stiffness is constructed on the basis of the assumed displacement field formulation and the 3-points Gaussian Integration. In addition, the effects of creep and shrinkage of concrete for time-dependent behavior of the bridge are taken into consideration. Finally, both analytical and experimental results are compared.

최근 교량공학자들의 공통관심사는 초대형 구조물을 가설하고, 적절한 유지관리에 의해 기존 구조물의 공용수명을 연장시키는 것 등을 들 수 있다. 고성능 컴퓨터 산업의 발달로 인한 구조해석의 정밀화, 경량골재 및 고강도 재료의 개발, 용접성과 시공법의 발달 및 초대형 크레인과 같은 건설기자재의 개발 등으로 인하여 초대형 구조물의 가설은 외국에서 뿐만 아니라 국내에서도 가능하게 되었다. 그리고 구조물의 공용수명을 연장하기 위해서 최근에는 첨단계측장비와 신호처리기술, 신뢰성이론, 피로파괴이론 및 system identification technique 등의 발달로 인해 비교적 정확하게 교량구조물의 손상부위와 손상정도의 파악이 가능하게 되었다. 그리하여 가까운 시일내에 100년 이상의 공용수명을 갖는 초대형 교량이 출현될 것으로 전망된다. 따라서 교량 공학자들은 앞으로 장대교량의 설계와 시공 및 유지관리의 완전 국산화를 위한 연구에 더욱 박차를 가해야 할 것이다.

Purpose: Although many studies on seismic fragility analysis of general bridges have been conducted using machine learning methods, studies on curved bridge structures are insignificant. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the seismic fragility of bridges with I-shaped curved girders based on the machine learning method considering the material property and geometric uncertainties. Method: Material properties and pier height were considered as uncertainty parameters. Parameters were sampled using the Latin hypercube technique and time history analysis was performed considering the seismic uncertainty. Machine learning data was created by applying artificial neural network and response surface analysis method to the original data. Finally, earthquake fragility analysis was performed using original data and learning data. Result: Parameters were sampled using the Latin hypercube technique, and a total of 160 time history analyzes were performed considering the uncertainty of the earthquake. The analysis result and the predicted value obtained through machine learning were compared, and the coefficient of determination was compared to compare the similarity between the two values. The coefficient of determination of the response surface method was 0.737, which was relatively similar to the observed value. The seismic fragility curve also showed that the predicted value through the response surface method was similar to the observed value. Conclusion: In this study, when the observed value through the finite element analysis and the predicted value through the machine learning method were compared, it was found that the response surface method predicted a result similar to the observed value. However, both machine learning methods were found to underestimate the observed values.
