기초세굴에 따른 교각에서의 1차 모드 고유진동수 변화를 이용하여 교량 세굴 건전성을 정량적으로 평가하기 위하여 공용중인 광탄1교의 T형 교각 1기에 대하여 충격진동실험을 수행하였으며, 교축직각방향의 1차 모드 고유진동수를 수치해석결과와 비교하였다. 교량 상부구조물의 모델링 방법에 따라 상부구조물을 전체 모델링한 방법과 교각만을 모델링하고 상부구조물의 영향범위를 가정하여 교량받침 위치에 질점질량으로 변환하여 적용한 방법으로 구분하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 상부구조물을 전체 모델링한 경우와 집중하중 형태로 상부구조물을 모델링한 경우 모두 고유진동수는 충격진동실험결과와 큰 차이를 보였다. 충격진동실험을 통해 얻은 고유진동수는 교각의 국부적인 진동수로 사료되는 반면, 수치해석을 통해 구한 결과는 교량 상부와 하부의 Coupling 효과가 반영된 시스템 전체의 고유진동수이기 때문에 결과의 큰 편차가 생기는 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 충격진동실험에서 구한 고유치 양상을 올바로 구현하기 위한 모델링을 찾기 위해서는 새로운 접근 방법이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

자동화 컨테이너 터미널의 생산성을 향상시키기 위해서는 장치장과 안벽 사이를 오가며 컨테이너를 운반하는 무인유도 차량(Automated Guided Vehicle: AGV)들이 효율적으로 주행하여 제 시간에 필요한 위치에 도착함으로써 연계 작업들의 지연을 최소화하여야 한다, 만일 AGV들이 목적지까지 주행하여야 하는 거리가 길거나 주행 중에 다른 AGV들과의 충돌이나 교축을 피하기 위하여 대기하여야 하는 상황이 빈번히 발생하면 주행 효율이 떨어지게 된다, 주행 경로의 길이를 줄이기 위하여 경로들을 보다 유연하게 설정할 수 있게 허용하면 경로들간의 교차 가능성이 높아져 교통 통제가 어려워지고 결과적으로 충돌과 교착이 발생할 가능성은 높아진다. 특히 교착을 사전에 방지하기 위하서는 문제가 발생할 소지가 있는 영역을 미리 파악하여 일부 영역을 다른 AGV들이 점유하지 못하도록 제한하여야 하는데, 이는 자칫 AGV 주행 공간의 활용도를 떨어뜨릴 수 있다. 또한 교착의 파악과 이를 방지하기 위한 제어는 실시간에 이루어져야 하므로 연산 부담이 상당하다. 본 논문에서는 유연한 주행 경로 설정이 가능하며 주행 공간을 효율적으로 활용할 수 있는 주행 경로 표현법과 충돌 방지 방안을 제안한다. 또한 교착 발생 가능성을 사전에 파악하고 회피(avoidance)하는데 소요되는 연산비용을 줄여 실시간 적용 가능성을 높이기 위하여 교착해결(deadlock resolution)에 기반을 둔 AGV 주행 관리 방안을 제시한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방안의 효율성을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 검증해 보았다.

Plate girders with variable depths have been often used at piers considering not only the economy but also an aesthetic aspect. Tapered plate girders exhibit more complicated behaviors than prismatic girders especially under shear. However, a comprehensive design method for the determination of the shear strength has yet to be developed mainly due to lack of study. In this study, investigated is the buckling and ultimate behaviors of tapered plate girders subjected to shear through finite element analyses. From the analysis results, a simple design formula is suggested for the evaluation of the shear strength of tapered plate girders.

As the half-depth precast concrete decks are increasingly applied to the construction sites, researches on connection details have been increased. For design of concrete bridge deck with half-depth precast panels, it is required to provide appropriate details of transverse loop joints between panels. In this paper, the structural performance of precast decks was evaluated to investigate continuity of the proposed loop joint details. From the results, the validity of the joints for the continuity of deck was observed in the aspect of flexural strength and crack control. The ultimate strength increased 1.52 times as the reinforcement spacing in the joint was reduced. In terms of crack control, direct crack width calculation for the loop joint showed appropriate results comparing with measured crack width.

This study presents the nonlinear dynamic analysis method of the multi-span continuous bridge considering the friction of the expansion bearings. Also the numerical analysis is performed for estimating the effect of the friction on the seismic response of the multi-span continuous bridge under the longitudinal ground motion compatible to Korean bridge design response spectra. It is found that even small friction coefficient of the expansion bearings has significant effect on reducing the superstructure displacement due to energy dissipation and distributing the inertia force of the superstructure to the substructures due to frictional force. It is observed that such favorable friction effects increase as the friction coefficient increases and the magnitude of the ground motion decreases. Therefore, the friction of the expansion bearings can be effectively used for the safe and economic design of the continuous span bridge with many spans and large superstructure weight under the small to medium scale longitudinal ground motions.

Bridges are designed and constructed as infrastructures in order to overcome topographical obstructions for fast and smooth transfer of human/material resources. Therefore the shape and size of piers constructed along the longitudinal bridge axis should be restricted by topographical conditions. Action forces of connections and piers are affected by pier shapes and sizes together with connection arrangement which decides load carrying path under earthquakes. In this study a typical bridge is modelled with steel bearings and reinforced concrete piers and seismic analyses are performed with analysis models with different arrangement of steel bearings and piers. From analysis results ductile failure mechanisms for all analysis models are checked based on strength/action force ratios of steel bearings and pier columns. In this way the influences of arrangement of connections and piers on the earthquake resistant capacity of typical bridges are figured out in view of forming ductile failure mechanism.

This paper presents the applicability of low caloric synthetic gas from coal gasification to a gas engine system and small sized generator. A commercial LPG engine is modified to use the low caloric synthetic gas from coal gasification as the gas engine fuel. The modification is focused on the fuel supplying system, which includes air flowrate adjusting orifice, gas mixer, vaporizer, preheater, regulators, and fuel tank. From the results of engine performance data, we have demonstrated that the engine modified by using the coal gasification gas is well operated from idle to wide open throttle conditions although the engine power is somewhat reduced relative to LPG fueled engine. And we have also demonstrated that the generator is well operated with various loads.

Wind tunnel test results and their interpretations, which were performed to study the aerodynamic stability of tower of self-anchored suspension bridge, are presented in this paper. Tower and full models were tested under smooth and turbulent flow conditions. In the case of the tower with inclined two columns, the vibration due to wakes were occurred at wide velocity zone because the wakes with various frequencies were generated by inclined upstream column. It has to be emphasized that the vibration characteristics of the tower in the self-anchored suspension bridge may be very sensitive to the longitudinal boundary conditions of the girder at the supports. Because of the two natural frequency of the tower, out-of-plane bending and torsional, were not well separated, coupled motions were observed in a wide range of wind velocity. The effectiveness of corner cut, countermeasure to reduce the tower vibrations, was also studied. It has been found that 1:10, comer cut size to column width, may be the most effective ratio for reducing the vibrations.

A parametric study for varying the radii of curvature is performed with a curved tub girder bridge having three continuous spans. The bracing forces of top lateral bracings from the results of numerical equations are compared to those of 3-dimensional finite element analyses. New modifying factors applicable in computing the nominal member forces of top lateral bracings were suggested. The numerical equations were derived based on one girder system, and it is shown that the numerical equations exhibit some errors compared with 3D FEA results. The main reason for this phenomenon lies on the number of girders. The twin girder system has an external cross-beam between inner and outer girder. It also has larger lateral stiffness than the single girder system. Finally, the distributions by the torsion, bending, distortion, and lateral loading of the top lateral bracing forces were presented in this paper.

Response of reinforced concrete (RC) column-bent piers subjected to bidirectional seismic loadings was experimentally investigated. RC column-bent piers represent one of the most popular shapes of piers used in Korea highway bridges. Four column-bent piers were constructed in 400 mm diameter and 2,000 mm height. Each pier has two circular supporting columns. These piers were tested under bidirectional lateral load reversals with an axial load of $0.1f_{ck}A_g$. The test parameters included : different transverse reinforcement contents and lap-spliced longitudinal reinforcing steels. Test results indicate that the lap splice of longitudinal reinforcing steels have significantly influenced on hysteretic response of column-bent piers similar to previous test results for single columns with corresponding test parameters. Column capacity was changed with the level of transverse confinement. From the comparison of test result for single column under unidirectional loading, the damage of single column was concentrated on lower plastic hinge region but the damage of column-bent piers was scattered to upper and lower plastic hinge region.
