교량 구조물의 안전성(신뢰성) 평가는 중요한 작업으로서, 교량 구조물의 안전성은 부재 단면의 저항과부재에 작용하는 외부하중에 의해서 결정된다. 부재의 강도는 부재를 구성하는 재료의 강도, 부재의 치수 및 단면으 저항을 계산하는 산정식등에 내재하는 오차등으로 인해서 공칭저항과 실제값과는 많은 차이가 발생하며, 교량 구조물에서 발생하는 사하중 모멘트는 해석변수와 단면 자중에 의한 하중변수에 의해서 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 사하중효과의 부재 저항의 확률특성을 결정하기 위한 신뢰성 연구를 수행하기 위해서 이들 기본변수들에 대한 확률특성을 실측 및 실험자료를 통해서 우선적으로 평가하였다. 이들을 구성하는 각 기본변수들의 확률특성은 기존 연구결과 및 본 연구의 현장 실측 자료를 hd해서 결정하였다. 본 연구의 교량의 안전도 평가 및 교량의 신뢰성 해석을 합리적으로 수행할 수 있는 유용한 토대를 제공하는 것으로 사료된다.

This study found a proper parametric life distribution based on maintenance history data of each bridge member under the jurisdiction of the Korea Expressway Corporation for the past 10 years by introducing the concept of reliability and suggested a measure to calculate the mean life and reliability of each bridge member using the parameter obtained with the maximum-likelihood classification. As a result of analyzing the exponential distribution, weibull distribution and log normal distribution being utilized frequently in order to find the parametric life distribution type which well described the life data of each bridge member, it was found that the log normal distribution and weibull distribution described the characteristics of the relevant life data the best. As a result of calculating the mean life of each bridge member based on the estimated parameter, the average life of the steel bridge coating was 18.51 years which was the longest, followed by the bridge deck as 17.56 years. The mean life of the drainage facility and the bridge bearing were 12.27 years and 12.57 years respectively, showing the shortest life.

본 논문은 교량의 안전진단을 위한 각 부재의 명명체계에 따라 직선형 교량모델의 각 부재에 대한 솔리드 객체의 고유번호를 일괄적으로 부여하기 위한 방법론을 제시한다. 개발된 방법론은 크게 3 단계의 프로세스로 이루어진다. 먼저, 부재의 종류별로 구분된 레이어로부터 각 부재에 대한 솔리드 객체의 도심을 추출하고, 이를 시점과 종점으로 이루어진 교축방향을 축으로 한 국부좌표계에 대해 변환한다. 이후 교축방향으로 정렬되는 객체를 식별하여 그룹핑하고 이를 교축 및 교축의 직각방향으로 순서로 정렬한다. 마지막으로 각 그룹 내 세그먼트들을 교축방향으로 정렬한다. 개발된 방법론에 따른 시범 응용모듈을 개발하였으며, 트러스 구조와 서로 다른 모델 좌표계를 가진 시범 교량모델을 대상으로 추출된 그룹의 개수와 각 객체의 명칭을 원래의 모델과 비교하여 그 적용성을 검토하였다.

As a bridge ages, its mechanical properties and structural performance deteriorate, degrading its seismic performance during a strong earthquake. In this study, the aging of piers and bridge bearings was quantified in several stages and reflected in the analysis model, enabling the evaluation of the member-level seismic fragility of these bearings. Moreover, by assuming that the failure mechanism of a bridge system is a series system, a method for evaluating the system-level seismic fragility based on the member-level seismic fragility analysis result is formulated and proposed. For piers with rubber and lead-rubber bearings (members vulnerable to aging effects), five quantitative degrees of aging (0, 5, 10, 25, and 40%) are assumed to evaluate the member-level seismic fragility. Then, based on the result, the system-level seismic fragility evaluation was implemented. The pier rather than the bridge bearing is observed to have a dominant effect on the system-level seismic fragility. This means that the seismic fragility of more vulnerable structural members has a dominant influence on the seismic fragility of the entire bridge system.

It is proper that the load distribution and the actual stress of members is analyzed by field measurement in estimating to the behavior of truss railway bridges, but those procedures are very difficult. So, the studies for the deduction of the stress, using the indirect data which are able to get from the research and investigation without field measurement, are needed. In this study, to investigate quantitically the variation of the stress of members, the stresses are obtained from the simulation which is considered the the reduction of the section area and the stiffness due to the corrosion and the degree of the stress ratio and the distribution is calculated. As the results, the stress of truss members is almost lineary increased to the decreasing of the area and the lower chord is greatly affected. And the increasing of the stress is predicted by the superposition to the results of the amount of that in each members.

In recent years, large-scale earthquake activity has occurred in Korea, and thus public interest in earthquakes is increasing. Accordingly, the importance of seismic performance management of structures is emerging. In particular, the collapse of a bridge, one of main road facilities, directly leads to many casualties. Therefore, engineers need to evaluate the seismic fragility of the bridge and prepare for the earthquake event. The service life of these bridges has been over 30 years, which requires a study on the aging effect on bridges. In this study, seismic analysis of the target RC slab bridge was performed considering the aging effects of each component of the bridge. Components of the bridge included pier and bearing, which dominate the seismic response of the bridge. The seismic performance of the bridge was evaluated using nonlinear static and dynamic analyses. In addition, the limit state and dynamic response of each component were used to evaluate the seismic fragility according to the aging of each component.

This paper proposes a method to establish an optical lifetime maintenance strategy for deteriorating bridges in consideration of life-cycle performance and cost. A program is developed based on the proposed method, which can generate optimum maintenance scenarios not only at the individual member level but also at the system level of the bridge. By applying the developed program is studied through the comparative analysis of maintenance strategies generated at each level. According to the results of comparison between maintenance strategies of the member-level analysis and system-level analysis. It is expected that the establishment of a maintenance strategy through the bridge system-level analysis considering target, members reflects practical and reasonable results.

This study analyzes the applicability of limit state design method on bridge evaluation by considering the experiment of the existing bridge. The test strength of the member is obtained from the PSC beam bridge experiment. The test strength is compared with the calculated strength obtained from the statistical characteristics of material test strength and the two values are almost the same. The response modification factor and dynamic impact factor are obtained from the vehicle loading test. The rating factor is calculated by applying limit state design method as well as current evaluation method and the results are compared. The reliability index of the test bridge is calculated by using the statistical properties of the member strength obtained from material test and simulation. When the statistical properties of the PSC beam tested in this study are applied, the reliability index with a larger value was obtained than the reliability index obtained with the statistical properties of the design code.

최근 차량하중의 대형화에 의해 교량구조물은 사용년수가 증가함에 따라 노후손상에 의해 당초의 설계능력을 발휘하지 못하는 경우가 종종 있으며, 이에 대해 교량구조물의 내하력을 증강시키기 위하여 여러 가지 보수 보강 공법들이 사용되고 있다. 특히 재료의 내부식성, 친환경성 등을 고려하여 GFRP(Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic)에 의한 보강이 점차 증가하는 추세에 있으나, 아직까지 기존 철근콘크리트 부재와 보강되는 GFRP 부재의 합성에 의한 해석기술에 대한 연구가 많지 않은 실정이다.(중략)

Presently, the general seismic fragility evaluation method for a bridge system composed of member elements with different nonlinear behaviors against strong earthquakes has been to evaluate at the element-level. This study aims to develop a system-level seismic fragility evaluation method that represents a structural system. Because the seismic behavior of bridges is generally divided into transverse and longitudinal directions, this study evaluated the system-level seismic fragility in both directions separately. The element-level seismic fragility evaluation in the longitudinal direction was performed for piers, bridge bearings, pounding, abutments, and unseating. Because pounding, abutment, and unseating do not affect the transverse directional damages, the element-level seismic fragility evaluation was limited to piers and bridge bearings. Seismic analysis using nonlinear models of various structural members was performed using the OpenSEES program. System-level seismic fragility was evaluated assuming that damage between element-levels was serially connected. Pier damage was identified to have a dominant effect on system-level seismic fragility than other element-level damages. In other words, the most vulnerable element-level seismic fragility has the most dominant effect on the system-level seismic fragility.
