The flexural strength of composite HSB hybrid I-girders under positive moment is investigated by the moment-curvature analysis method to evaluate the applicability of the current AASHTO LRFD design specification to such girders. The hybrid girders are assumed to have the top flange and the web fabricated from HSB600 steel and the bottom flange made of HSB800 steel. More than 6,200-composite I-girder sections that satisfy the section proportion limits of AASHTOL RFD specifications are generatedby the random sampling technique to consider a statistically meaningful wide range of section properties. The flexural capacities of the sections are calculated by the nonlinear moment-curvature analysis in which the HSB600 and HSB800 steels are modeled as an elastoplastic, strain-hardening material and the concrete as CEB-FIP model. The effects of ductility ratio and compressive strength of concrete slab on the flexural strength of composite hybrid girders make of HSB steels are analyzed. Numerical results indicated that the current AASHTO-LRFD equation can be used to calculate the flexural strength of composite hybrid girders fabricated from HSB steel.

The corrosion of steel in concrete is significant in marine environment. Marine bridges are readily deteriorated due to the exposure to marine environment. Salt damage is one of the most detrimental causes to concrete bridges and port structures. Especially, the splash and tidal zones around water line are comparatively important in terms of safety and life-time point of view. During the last several decades, cathodic protection (cp) has been commonly accepted as an effective technique for corrosion control in concrete structures. Zn-mesh sacrificial anode has been recently developed and started to apply to the bridge column cp in marine condition. The detailed parameters regarding Zn-mesh cp technique, however, have not well understood. This study is to investigate how much Zn-mesh cp influences along the concrete column at elevated temperature. About 100cm column specimens with eight of 10cm segment rebars have been used to measure the variation of cp potential with the distance from Zn-mesh anode at both 10$^{\circ}$C and 40$^{\circ}$C in natural seawater. The cp potential change and current diminishment along the column specimens have been discussed for the optimum design of cp by Zn-mesh sacrificial anode

Recently, the interests in three-dimensional design and BIM(Building Information Modeling) are increasing in civil engineering sector and the researches about three-dimensional design and quantity take-off methods for civil engineering structures have been conducted. However, these studies are just carried out the 3D design and quantity calculation of civil structures on the road or railway such as bridges and tunnels. The study on the quantity take-off methods and the evaluation of calculated results on the earth works should be performed in more detail. Based on these backgrounds in mind, the study was conducted the three-dimensional road design and evaluated the quantity take-off results on the earth works using 3D calculation method(average end area method, prismoidal method and composit method). The calculated quantity from composit method showed about 5% error of measuring efficiency than the average end area method, and when reporting the quantity calculation of earth works, it is necessary to specify the calculation method using quantity take-off of earth works.

This study aims to track pedestrian behavior in urban linear tourist sites and to analyse their behavioral characteristics. For these purposes, this study has adopted the direct observation, a behavioral tracking methodology, and selected Chenggyecheon in Seoul as the study site, a representative site of urban regeneration. The main results of this study can be summarized as follows: the period of stay and movement distance of pedestrians in the study area are both short and most pedestrian activities, apart from walking, are of a passive nature, such as pitching pennies, reading signs, resting and the like. Spatial points of Chenggyecheon at which pedestrians have exhibited these behaviors during their stay are summarized as 30 points and classified into 3 types: landmarks, bridges and nodes. Further research that combines several tracking methods in terms of urban pedestrian behavior is needed.

A reliability analysis of the fatigue failure of highway steel bridges was performed by applying the Miner's fatigue damage rule for the fatigue design truck proposed for the LRFD code and for the current DB 24 truck. The limit state function for fatigue failure is expressed as a function of various random variables that affect fatigue damage. Among these variables, the statistical parameters for the equivalent moment, the impact factor, and the loadometer were obtained by analyzing recently measured domestic traffic data, and the parameters for the fatigue strength, the girder distribution factor, and the headway factor were obtained from the measured data reported in literature. Based on the reliability analysis, the fatigue truck model for the LRFD code was proposed. After applying the proposed fatigue truck to the LRFD code, 16 composite plate and box girder bridges were designed based on the LRFD method, and the LRFD design results for the fatigue limit state were compared with those by the current KHBDC.

Recently, as a means of resolving the issue of legal liability in the event of an accident or a disaster, a wide variety of simulation techniques, such as structural and structure-fluid interaction analysis, have been used in the field of forensic engineering. The plate girder bridge discussed in this paper was being constructed between a pier and an abutment to expand an existing bridge, but an accident whereby the bridge overturned occurred at the end of the concrete laying process for a protective wall. This accident was caused by additional loads not being considered at the time of the design as well as the actual construction being different from the design. The additional loads ultimately generated a negative support force. In this study, we determined the cause of the accident by comparing the structural stability of the original design with that of the additional, non-conforming construction using MIDAS structural analysis.

Considering uncertainties of random input data, it is more reasonable to use probabilistic method than the conventional deterministic method for the design of structures or for the assessment of the responses of structures, which are designed as safe even under extreme loads. Therefore, to assess the quantitative effects of the constructed cable stayed bridge by the input random variables, a sensitivity analysis is studied. Using perturbation method, an analysis program is developed for the iterative probabilistic finite element analyses and sensitivity analyses of the cable stayed bridge, except the initial shape analysis. Monte-Carlo Simulations were used for the verification of the developed program. The results of sensitivity analysis shows the governing effects of external loads. Because the results also provide the sensitive effects of the stiffness of members and the magnitudes of prestressing force of cables, the developed

해양환경용 구조물은 극심한 부식 환경에 노출되어 있고 부식손상으로 인한 직간접적 경제적 손실이 발생하고 있는 상황이다. 이에 대한 방식대책으로써 음극방식법이 선박, 교량, 각종 화학장비에 널리 이용되고 있으며, 이러한 산업분야에 가장 흔히 적용되고 있는 음극방식 중 하나가 피방식체에 일정 전류 또는 음극 전위를 인가하는 외부전원법이다. 이는 전도성 부식환경인 해수환경 하에서 철강 및 해양환경용 구조 재료의 내식성을 월등히 향상시킬 수 있기 때문에 설계에 있어서 고급 내식재료 대신 경제적인 상용 재료를 적용할 수 있어 비용 절감효과를 가질 수 있다. 한편 적정 방식전위에서는 부식손상으로부터 강재를 보호하지만, 과방식 전위에서는 취성이 발생함으로써 내구성 감소의 역효과가 나타날 수도 있기 때문에 최적 방식전위의 규명은 반드시 필요하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 S355ML강에 대하여 천연해수 용액에서 다양한 정전위를 조건으로 전기화학실험을 실시하여 최적 방식전위를 규명하고자 하였다. 시험편은 에머리 페이퍼로 2000번까지 연마하였고, 아세톤과 증류수로 세척하여 실험하였다. 전기화학(정전위) 실험은 천연해수 속에서 $1.28cm^2$의 면적만을 노출시켜 진행하였으며, OCP로부터 -2.0V까지의 음극분극 곡선을 분석하여 정전위 조건들을 선정하였다. 그리고 외부 직류전원장치를 이용하여 1,200초 동안 다양한 정전위를 인가하였으며, 기준전극은 Ag/AgCl 전극을 이용하였다. 실험 후에는 주사전자현미경과 3D 현미경을 통해 시험편 표면을 관찰하였으며, 그 결과 일부 음극분극 구간에서 강재 표면에 전착물에 의한 뷸균일한 피막이 형성되었다. 또한, 일정 전위구간에서 용해 및 과전압에 대하여 표면손상 정도를 관찰하여, 해수환경 하에서 S355ML강의 최적 방식전위를 규명하였다.

The interpretation of resistivity data has, so far, mainly been made under the assumption that the earth is of relatively simple structure and then using one or two-dimensional inversion scheme. Since real earth structure and topography are fully three-dimensional and very complicated In nature, however, such assumptions often lead to misinterpretation of the earth structures. In such situations, three-dimensional inversion is probably the only way to get correct image of the earth. In this study, we have developed a three-dimensional inversion code using the finite element solution for the forward problem. The forward modeling algorithm simulates the real field situation with irregular topography. The inverse problem is solved iteratively using the least-squares method with smoothness constraint. Our inversion scheme employs ACB (Active Constraint Balancing) to enhance the resolving power of the inversion. Including Irregular surface topography in the inversion, we can accurately define the earth structures without artifact in the numerical tests. We could get reasonable image of earth structure by Inverting the real field data sets taken over highway bridge construction site.

유량 측정을 위해 도섭법, 횡측선법 등의 인력에 의한 방법이 적용되고 있으나, 이는 야간 및 휴일 측정, 인력 부족 등 여러 제약으로 인해 고수위 홍수를 측정하는 데에 한계가 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 시공간적 제약이 없는 도플러 방식 초음파유속계(Acousitc Doppler Velocity Meter, ADVM)와 자동유속관측시스템(Portable Automatic Velocity Observation System; PAVOs)이 제안되었다. 이 방법들은 교량에 설치된 장치를 통해 실시간으로 유속이 계측되어 시공간적 제약이 없으며 홍수 관리에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 실시간으로 계측된 유속 데이터는 오·결측 값이 발생하며 ADVM의 경우 수위-유량관계식을 활용하는 등 전처리 방법이 활용되고 있지만 전자파표면유속계를 활용한 PAVOs 데이터의 전처리 방법에 대한 연구는 부족하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 PAVOs에서 실시간으로 계측된 유속 데이터의 전 처리 과정(Pre-processing)을 개발하였다. PAVOs를 통해 측정된 데이터는 5분 단위로 10개의 유속이 한번에 측정되며 비정상성(Non-stationary)인 특징을 가진다. 이 데이터의 전처리 과정으로 오·결측값에 대한 처리 및 보간법 적용 이후 10개 값 중 실제 유속을 판단하고 잡음제거(Denoising)를 수행하였다. 이를 강원도 홍천강에 위치한 홍천교에서 계측된 유속 데이터에 적용하였다. 그 결과 데이터의 상승부와 하강부에서 일정한 경향성을 파악할 수 있다. 이 데이터를 통해 산정한 유량과 실측 기반의 평균유속과 관계를 통해 계산한 유량을 비교해 보았을 때 낮은 편차율을 가지는 것을 확인하였다. 전 처리 된 실시간 유속 데이터를 활용한다면 최고수위가 발생하였을 경우 홍수량을 산정할 수 있을 것이다. 또한, 강우 또는 하천 공사에 의해 변동하는 수위-유량관계곡선식을 실시간으로 개발할 수 있을 것이며 이는 효과적인 홍수관리에 큰 역할을 할 수 있을 것이다.
