Recently, the cause of flood damage has been the local torrential rainfalls rather than a total amount of yearly rainfalls. The domestic design code of drainage pump is being improved by considering the effect of local torrential rainfalls, while there is no consideration on the local torrential rainfalls in the domestic design code of bridge-deck drainage. Compared with the code of Federal Highway Administration in USA, no rational bases are specified in the domestic design code of bridge-deck drainage. This paper proposes the reasonable design guideline for bridge-deck drainage considering the effect of local torrential rainfalls.

The modular technology has been already applied in automotive industry, plant and shipbuilding industry. Recently, the modular technology was applied in bridge construction. The modular bridge is different from the existing precast bridges in terms of standardized design that the detailed design of members is omitted by using the standard modules; the design of the modular bridge is completed by only assembling the standard modules without design in member level. The girder-type precast modular bridge has been developed as a simply supported bridge. The girder-type precast modular bridge could be applied to the multi-span bridges through the continuity method. The continuity of the girder-type precast modular bridge is achieved by using the link slab which is easy to construction and appropriate to the rapid construction. The link slabs have been used as the type of reinforced concrete structure in US from the 1950's. In 2000's, the link slab using the engineered cementitious concrete (ECC link slab) has been developed. In this study, the RC type link slab which is more reproducible and economic relative to the ECC link slab was used for the continuity of the girder-type precast modular bridges, and the construction detail of RC type link slab was modified. In addition, the modified iterative design method of RC type link slab was proposed in this study. To verify the proposed design method, the flexural tests were conducted using the RC type link slab specimens. Also, the fatigue test using the mock-up specimen was conducted with cyclic loading condition up to two million cycles.

Performance Profiles are essential to predict the performance variation over time for the bridge management system (BMS) based on risk management. In general, condition profiles based on experts opinion and/or visual inspection records have been used widely because obtaining profiles based on real performance is not easy. However, those condition profiles usually don't give a good consistency to the safety of bridges, causing practical problems for the effective bridge management. The accuracy of performance evaluation is directly related to the accuracy of BMS. The reliability of the evaluation is important to produce the optimal solution for distributing maintenance budget reasonably. However, conventional methods of bridge assessment are not suitable for a more sophisticated decision making procedure. In this study, a method to compute quantitative performance profiles has been proposed to overcome the limitations of those conventional models. In Bridge Management Systems, the main role of performance profiles is to compute and predict the performance of bridges subject to lifetime activities with uncertainty. Therefore, the computation time for obtaining an optimal maintenance scenario is closely related to the efficiency of the performance profile. In this study, the Response Surface Method (RSM) based on independent and important design variables is developed for the rapid computation. Steel box bridges have been investigated because the number of independent design variables can be reduced significantly due to the high dependency between design variables.

The AASHTO wheel load distribution factor (LDF) equation has been with us since 1931 and has undergone minor modifications. In 1994, an entirely new procedure was introduced in the AASHTO LRFD code based on parametric studies and finite element analyses. However, this LDF equation involves a longitudinal stiffness parameter, the design of which is not initially known. Thus, an iterative procedure is required to correctly determine the LDF value. The increased level of complexity puts undue burden on the designer resulting in a higher likelihood for misinterpretation and error. In this study, based on current AASHTO LRFD framework, a new simplified equation is developed that does not require an iterative procedure. A total of 43 representative composite steel girder bridges are selected and analyzed using a finite element model.The new simplified equation produces LDF values that are always conservative when compared to those obtained from the finite element analyses and are generally greater than the LDF obtained using AASHTO LRFD specification. Therefore, the proposed simplified equation is expected to streamline the determination of LDF for bridge design without sacrificing safety.

In order to understand the seismic performance of a bridge, it is common to review through seismic performance evaluation and numerical analysis of the target bridge. Seismic performance evaluation and review through numerical analysis are analysis methods for specific target bridges, and many problems can arise in each management body managing bridges nationwide. Therefore, in this study, research was conducted to estimate the seismic performance of public bridges with various types and characteristics. Seismic performance was estimated by applying the seismic risk assessment method, calculating the seismic fragility curve for the type and specifications of the bridge, and estimating the seismic performance of the bridge in use by applying the domestic seismic design standard. In addition, by installing it on the platform, service items were established so that users can easily review the estimation of seismic performance of domestic bridges.

The base isolation technique and its benefits in reducing the transmitted earthquake energy into a structure have gained increasing recognition during the last two decades. Unfortunately, the current available design procedures, especially for base-isolated bridges, seem inadequate and too restrictive. As a result, practical design procedure still relies upon a series of deterministic time history analyses. In this study, the evaluation of the possibility of the normal mode method to predict the nonlinear seismic responses of base isolated bridges has been performed. The applicability has been examined through the numerical approach with isolator's elastic or plastic states of the base isolated bridges. Numerical results show that the 1st. mode period and the various responses are varied with the state but are conversed. And, the result show that the normal mode method is applicable to predict the seismic responses and to design the babe isolated bridge. Various analysis method to bridges with bilinearized hysteresis isolator and various pier heights are evalulated.

경부고속철도 교량은 대부분 콘크리트교량으로 2@40m와 3@25m의 박스거더교량의 대표적인 형식이다. 일부구간에서 단경간 또는 2경간 연속 50 m 2주형을 갖는 강합성교량이 건설되었다. 연행하는 차륜이 반복해서 통과하는 철도교량은 주기적인 동적하중에 의하여 공진이 발생할 수 있으며, 특히 고속전철이 통과하는 교량은 저속차량이 통과하는 일반철도보다 공진의 발생가능성이 클 뿐 아니라 고속으로 주행하는 열차의 주행안정성 확보를 위해서 엄격한 제한조건을 만족시켜야 하는 엄밀한 동적설계 조건을 갖게 된다. 그러한 조건 중에서 가속도의 제한 규정은 UIC에서 제안된 기준치로서 도상을 갖는 경우에 0.35g이하를 만족시키도록 요구하고 있다. 현재 KTX가 주행하는 교량에서는 일부구간 및 시점에서 규정치를 초과하는 값을 보이고 있는 것으로 계측되었으며, 그 원인 및 대책마련을 위한 연구를 수행하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 그러한 과도한 가속도의 원인 규명을 위한 각종 매개변수 연구와 그 해결책 마련을 위한 연구를 수행하였으며, 경제적이면서도 효과적인 진동저감 방안을 제시하고 있다.

일반적으로 우리나라 수해는 미개수 하천 지역의 외수침수와 더불어 홍수유출 단면 부족 및 내수배제 불량 등이 주요 원인이지만 하천 내 주요 수공구조물인 교량이나 보 등에 의한 홍수위 상승으로 발생한다. 특히, 교량은 도로의 교통기능에 중점을 둔 설계와 시공으로 수리학적으로 매우 불리한 위치에 건설되기도 하며 기존 교량폭의 확장이나 인접한 위치에 다른 교량들을 추가로 건설하여 하천의 한정된 통수단면적이 점차적으로 감소하는 등 하천관리에 많은 어려움이 가중되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 FLUMEN 모형을 이용하여 교량이 홍수위 상승 및 홍수범람에 미치는 영향과 이에 따른 제외지 침수면적의 변화를 파악하였다. 감천과 직지사천이 합류되는 구간을 대상으로 지형자료는 총 7곳의 교량을 고려하여 구축한 후 교량 유 무에 따른 조건별 부정류 모의를 실시하였다. 모형의 적용 결과 교량 건설에 따른 하폭 감소율은 김천철교 지점에서 10.92%로 가장 컸으며, 수위는 김천대교 지점에서 0.15m로 가장 크게 상승하였다. 또한 경부고속국도 주변의 수위는 경부고속철도 교량의 신설로 인해 140%까지 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 홍수범람 모의 결과 교량 건설 전과 후에 제방 월류에 의한 침수가 발생하였고 교량 건설 후 범람면적과 침수심이 증가하였으며, 홍수범람의 주원인은 하천의 통수단면적이 작기 때문으로 나타났다.

The present, most of bridges have been constructed with RC piers in Korea. But the construction of bridges with RC piers is limited to certain working environment and weather that give rise to some series trouble such as weak constructability, quality deterioration and rising of the cost of construction. For this reason, the construction tend to focus on the developing of more effective and economical construction methods. Of all methods, prefabricated precast segment piers have been examined more extensively, it has become a solution of some problems like traffic congestion that usual site placing methods have. The Korea government has the already issued specification earthquake effect. But the existing seismic specification are inapplicable to bridges with prefabricated precast segment piers. This study analyzes structural behabviors of the RC model, prestressted pier moel, the prefabricated precast segment pier with no shearduct model and the prefabricated segment piers with shearduct and changed post tensioning force.

본 고에서는 현재 설계 완료 상태에 있는 서대해대교 사장교의 내풍설계를 위한 풍동실험을 중심으로 풍동실험의 계획단계에서부터 제작방법, 교량가설 지점에서의 기류형태에 대한 MODELING 방법, 풍동실험의 전반적 방법, 난류상태에서의 실험결과 등을 소개하였다. Computer로부터 계산된 고유진동수를 비교한 결과, 그 값이 잘 일치함으로써 모형제작이 우수한 것으로 판단되었다. 교량 자체의 안정성은 100년 빈도 풍속을 기준으로 안전율이 약 2.4를 유지함으로써 매우 안정한 것으로 입증되었고, Vortex Shedding 진동현상도 보이지 않음으로써 교형단면 형상은 적절히 선정되었음이 밝혀졌다. 따라서, 본 실험에서 사용된 방법 및 경험은 향후 건설될 장대교에 대한 내풍설계용 풍동실험에 많은 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.
