현수교는 상당히 오래전부터 가설되어온 교량형식이기 때문에 구조해석이론도 일찍부터 개발되어 왔다. 그러나 외부 하중에 민감한 구조물이어서, 특히 동적인 하중에 대한 정확한 구조해석방법, 내풍설계방법 등은 아직도 연구가 계속되고 있다. 본 고에서는 현수교의 기본 형상을 소개하고 미력하나마 구조해석방법, 내풍설계방법, 설계시 고려해야 할 기본적인 사항들에 대하여 간략히 정리하여 보았다.

This study proposes a bridge evaluation system for indivisible permit vehicles such as hydraulic cranes. The permit loads for the bridge evaluation are divided into three categories: routine permit loads, special permit 1 loads, and special permit 2 loads. Routine permit and special permit 1 vehicles are allowed to cross a bridge with normal traffic. For these two permits, the standard lane model in the Korean Highway Bridge Design Code was adopted to consider normal traffic in the same lane. Special permit 2 vehicles are assumed to cross a bridge without other traffic. Structural analyses of two prestressed-beam bridges and two steel box girder bridges were conducted for the proposed permit loads. The rating factors of the four bridges for all permit loads were calculated as sufficiently large values for the moment and shear force so that crossing the bridges can be permitted. A reliability assessment of the bridges was performed to identify the reliability levels for the permit vehicles. It was confirmed that the reliability level of the minimum required strength obtained by the load-resistance factors yields the target reliability index of the design code for the permit vehicles.

A structural reliability analysis of fatigue truck model for fatigue failure of highway steel bridges was performed by applying the Miner's fatigue damage rule expressed as a function of various random variables affecting fatigue damage. Among the variables, the statistical parameters for equivalent moment, impact factor, and loadometer were obtained by analyzing recently measured domestic traffic data, whereas the parameters on fatigue strength, girder distribution factor, and headway factor of the measured data available in the literature were used. The effects of various fatigue truck models, fatigue life, ADTT, fatigue detail category, loadometer, and gross vehicle weight of fatigue truck on the reliability index of fatigue damage were analyzed. It is expected that the analytical results presented herein can be used as a basic background material in the calibration of both fatigue design truck and fatigue load factor of LRFD specification.

The PSC box bridge constructed of concrete, reinforcing bar and tendon is a complex structure that exhibits tension cracks, nonlinear behaviour of steel and time dependent behaviour of concrete. The frame element is commonly used for construction stage analysis PSC bridges. However, the frame element does not show sufficient information when in the curved PSC box bridges. For the case of curved PSC bridges, the deformations in the inner and outer web are different. In this case, different jacking forces are required in the inner and outer webs. However, it is impossible to calculate different jacking forces if we use the frame element for construction stage analysis. In order to overcome this problem, the use of the shell element is essential for a three-dimensional construction stage analysis of PSC bridges. In the following, the formulation of a Quasi-conforming shell element and its application of PSC box girder bridge analysis are presented.

현재까지 시공된 사장교 중, 주경간이 가장 긴 교량은 중국의 수통대교(1088m)이다. 이에 버금가는 사장교로 홍콩의 스톤커터교(1018m) 역시 주경간장이 1000m가 넘는다. 바야흐로 사장교 역시 주경간 1000m의 시대가 열린 것이다. 우리나라 역시 세계적 흐름에 맞추어 주경간 800m의 인천대교(세계 5위)를 시공한바 있다. 이와 같이 교량의 초장대화는, 교량 건설 분야에서 기술경쟁력의 지표가 될 뿐만 아니라 세계 건설 시장의 큰 흐름이라고 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 세계적 추세에 발맞추어, 국내 각계의 건설 전문가들이 모여 만든 초장대 교량 사업단의 기술 혁신 사업의 일환으로 이루어졌다. 교량이 장대화 되면서 바람의 의한 영향이 중요해진다는 것은 주지의 사실이다. 특히 사장교와 현수교 같은 특수 교량의 경우, 정적 및 동적 내풍 성능이 반드시 고려되어야만 한다. 본 연구에서는 주경간 1200m의 사장교를 가정하고, 이 사장교의 내풍 단면을 개발, 그 단면에 대한 정적 및 동적 내풍 성능을 평가하고자 하였다. 정적 내풍 성능으로는 단면의 형상에 따른 풍하중을 파악하고자 했으며, 동적 내풍 성능으로는 풍속에 따른 교량의 연직방향 변위 및 플러터 속도를 파악하고자 하였다. 이 실험은 추후에 3차원 전교모형실험의 기본 데이터로 활용하였다. 본 실험을 통해 개발된 단면의 등류 및 난류 상태에서의 영각별 정적 공기력계수를 계산해내었고, 설계풍속이 54.7m/s일때 한계풍속 65.64m/s(거마대교 기준)하에서의 중앙 경간의 풍속별 평균 변위를 측정하였으며, 이를 토대로 이 교량의 영각별 플러터 속도를 계산해 내었다.

The structural behavior of concrete girder in bridges constructed by free cantilever method is time-dependent due to creep and shrinkage of concrete. The constraint effects of longitudinal movement of concrete girders can introduce unfavourable moment into piers. This study is aimed at proposing a method to reduce the moment of piers in bridge constructed by free cantilever method. The method are systematically composed of time-dependent structural analysis of bridges and loading of control force during construction of bridge. Numerical analyses are carried out depending on the parameters such as amount of control force and flexibility of pier. Time-dependent structural behavior shows that moment of pier increases according as pier height decreases. Also, moment of pier decreases when control method are applied. Numerical result of the study represents that time-dependent moment of piers can be controlled effectively by employing the proposed method.

The paper investigates the limit state of deflection for short and medium span steel girder bridges. Deflection depends on stiffness of steel girders and integrity of the reinforced concrete slab (composite action). Load and resistance parameters are treated as random variables. A probabilistic model is developed for prediction of the deflection. The structural performance can be affected by deterioration of components, in particular corrosion of steel girders. In addition, the creep of concrete can greatly influence the deflection of composite structures. Therefore, the statistical models for creep and corrosion of structural steel are incorporated in the model. Structures designed according to the AASHTO LRFD Code are considered. Load and resistance models are developed to account for time-variability of the parameters. Monte Carlo simulations are used to estimate the deflections and probabilities of serviceability failure. Different span lengths and girder spacing are considered for structures designed as moment-controlled and deflection-controlled. A summary of obtained results is presented.

As the aging of large domestic SOC facilities accelerates, facility maintenance is also changing from safety evaluation based on the current condition to performance-oriented preventive and preemptive maintenance based on the prediction of the level of future obsolescence. In particular, in the case of bridges, class 1 and 2 bridges are systematically managed along with many studies, but for small and medium-sized class 3 bridges there is no collection and utilization of historical data presenting performance degradation during their service life. Therefore, in this study, 3D model-based demonstration DB system was designed and developed to intuitively check the damage change rate at the damage location by registering the maintenance history by life cycle for each member's exterior damage in the 3D bridge object and to enable API-based comprehensive performance evaluation.

The behavior of steel curved bridges is more complicated than straight bridges, thus the analysis, design and construction process of curved bridges require much more attention. In design of curved bridges, the grillage analysis using general structural analysis program or special program is mainly used. Comparative study in coherence between these analytical results and actual behavior of curved bridges has been rarely conducted. To study the behaviour of curved bridges and verify the current design method, field measurements and analyses using general structural analysis program and 3-D refined analysis program were carried out for simple and continuous bridges in this study. The study focused on the behavior of curved steel bridges during construction. Measured and analytical results had quantitative difference mutually, but there were qualitatively similar. Stress variations in transverse direction of flange were observed and grillage analysis models yielded more conservative values than 3-D refined analysis models.

In recent years, the occurrence of localized torrential rain has increased due to the increase in heavy rainfall and massive typhoons caused by abnormal weather. As a result, the flow rate of small and medium-sized rivers in Korea is rapidly increasing, affecting the safety of bridges and increasing the risk of scour. However, the domestic bridge construction technology does not reflect the watershed characteristics of domestic rivers because the bridge scour depth calculation formula developed overseas is used to calculate the bridge scour depth. Therefore, this study is a basic study for prevention of bridge damage according to scouring phenomenon, and a comparative analysis was performed between the experimental data measured through hydraulic model test and the scour depth formulas applied in Korea. In addition, the statistical analysis between experimental data and scour depth formula shows that Coleman's (1971) formula estimates the best scour depth. The results of this study are expected to be used to calculate more accurate bridge scour depth in river design and bridge design.
