국부세굴은 수공구조물 주변에서의 국부적인 흐름변화가 그 원인이라 할 수 있으며 이러한 변화는 교각 또는 교대의 하상재료를 굴착하여 이동시키는 침식작용의 결과이다. 이러한 교량의 교각 또는 교대, 그리고 교각을 지지하는 구조물에서 발생하는 국부세굴은 교량의 수명과 안정성에 좋지 않은 영향을 미쳐 재산상의 피해를 줄뿐만 아니라 교량 붕괴 사태 등으로 인한 대형 인명사고를 초래하는 원인이 될 수도 있다. 따라서 국부세굴의 경향을 예측하고 분석하는 것은 교량 구조물이나 수중 구조물의 설계에 있어서 매우 중요한 과업이다. 이러한 국부세굴을 예측하고 분석하는데 있어서 국내에서는 일정한 흐름조건에 대한 최종세굴심을 예측하는데 초점이 맞추어져 있다. 하지만 국부세굴은 하상재료에 따라 세굴이 진행되는 속도가 다르며 세굴의 진행은 시간 의존적인데 반해 국내에서의 국부세굴의 예측과 분석은 최종세굴심 산정에 초점이 맞추어져 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 보다 실질적이고 경제적인 국부세굴 경향을 예측할 수 있도록 다양한 하상재료에 대한 시간에 따른 세굴 변화의 특성을 파악하고 분석하였다. 이를 위해 하상재료에 따라 수리실험을 실시하였고, 이를 통해 하상재료에 따른 세굴심의 시간적 변화 곡선을 구하였다. 이렇게 구한 하상재료에 따른 세굴심의 시간적 변화 곡선을 통해 하상재료별 평형세굴심 산정하였고, 산정한 평형세굴심과 기존 세굴심 산정공식을 이용하여 입자별 세굴심을 산정하여 비교 분석하였다.

최근 건설 기술의 비약적인 발전으로, 국내외적으로 장대교량의 건설이 증가하고 있다. 이러한 장대교량들은 지속적인 안전성 관리가 필요하며 현재 국내 다수의 장대교량들에는 다양한 센서로 이루어진 구조건전성 모니터링 시스템이 설치, 운용되고 있다. 장대교량과 같은 대형 구조물의 물리적 상태를 정확하게 파악하기 위해서는 다수의 센서배치가 필요로 하지만, 이는 센서 자체의 비용뿐만 아니라 센서와 데이터 서버를 연결하는 케이블의 설치비용으로 인하여 상당히 제약을 받을 수 밖에 없다. 실례로 홍콩의 Tsing Ma 대교의 경우 350개의 센서를 설치하는데 약 8 백만불이 넘는 금액이 들었으며(Farrar 등, 2004), Celeby(2002)의 보고에 의하면 각 센서의 채널 당 케이블의 설치비용으로 약 5000불의 비용이 소모되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 센서와 이러한 불편함을 극복하기 위하여 자체 연산기능을 가지고 있는 스마트 무선 센서를 개발하고, 이를 해남과 진도를 잇는 연육교인 제 2 진도대교에 적용, 사장교의 구조 건전성을 저비용 및 높은 편의성으로 모니터링 하기 위한 테스트베드를 구축하였다.

As construction projects became larger and longer, the need for the construction technologies and innovative construction processes has been continuously increased in construction field. In response to this trend, construction industries tried to adopt the concurrent engineering which had been normally applied for manufacturing industries to develop the products with improved quality in a reduced time. However, the application of the concurrent engineering to construction field was limited due to the lack of advanced management system and incomplete theoretical backgrounds. In this regard, this study attempted to develop a checklist for the successful application of concurrent engineering to bridge projects. To this end, this study presents the checklist for the application of concurrent engineering to construction projects. Further, the checklist was modified and updated to reflect the specific feature of the bridge construction using expert interviews. With the help of additional 188 experts, a questionnaire-based survey was also conducted to validate the checklist. In addition, using importance-performance analysis(IPA), the study identified the factors needed for intensive improvement. Consequently, the proposed checklist is expected to be useful, because it improves the applicability of the concurrent engineering in that it enables managers to monitor construction progress and further to protect the project from potential risks.

Currently, the height of ships that can pass under Busan Harbor Bridge is limited to 60m or shorter, so that large-sized ships of 60m or taller cannot use Busan Harbor international passenger terminal. Accordingly, this study has developed a service which measures continuously the change of bridge height by water level changes and provides such in real-time for safe bridge passage of large-sized ships of 60m or taller. The measurement system comprised of high-precision laser distance measurement device, GPS sensor, optical module, and damping structure is used to measure the bridge height change according to tide level changes, and the measured information is provided in real-time through cloud-based mobile app. Also, in order to secure objective bridge height data for changes to height limits and navigation supports, the observation data was analyzed and forecast model was drawn. As a result, it became an objective evidence to revise the passage height rules of the Busan Port Bridge from 60 meters to 63 meters.

A bridge health monitoring technology is under development for the safety management of aged bridges. The bridge health monitoring technology has been developed mainly for single bridge management at a large scale, so it uses wire-based systems for power supply and data transfer. However, the wire-based systems need to be improved for the sporadically distributed small-sized bridges on local roads. This study proposed a wireless structural health monitoring system for small-sized bridges. The proposed monitoring system overcomes the limitations of wired systems by providing wireless power through solar power and utilizing LTE technology to transmit measurement data. In addition, a remote control system and power management plan were proposed to ensure the stability of the bridge measurement system. The proposed measurement system was installed on 32 bridges on fields and verified the operability by collecting 80.6% of measurement data for one year. The proposed system can support the health monitoring of aged bridges on local roads.

Such social structures as bridges,, buildings, dams and towers have been transformed by their own load or fundamental ground. They have been behaved by other external causes. These regular or irregular behaviors threaten to do their users safety. Therefore, to monitor the load of the structures or reaction shown by them could help to verify their behaviors. RTK GPS allows the use of a static base station and remote rover unit to allow f3r data collection within several seconds and in real time. It is useful for monitoring the behaviors of massive structures like bridges. In this Study, Among GPS methods, we used RTK GPS to analyze the precision of monitoring and then on the basis of it, we developed a monitoring system using RTK GPS when measured the behavior of main tower of a suspension bridge by using RTK GPS. Comparing a deviation between observation values, X axis was Imm, Y axis was 1mm and Z axis 2.2mm. It turned out that it was possible to monitor and measure structures by RTK GPS.

The use of steel plates has been greatly increased in bridge construction, particularly for long-span bridges. For connections of those steel plates in the field, application of high-tension bold, such as M30, is highly demanded. However, the current steel construction specifications in Korea do not provide information for large-sized bolt connections. In order to evaluate the applicability of the large-sized high-tension bolt, this study experimentally investigates relaxation and slip behavior of M30 bolts with varying bolt size and plate thickness. In addition, internal compressive stress was computed using FEM analysis. The analyzed results were compared with the stress distribution measured from strain gages attached on bolts and bolt holes. From the study presented herein, the M30 high-tension bolts are anticipated to be successfully used with the relaxation less than 10% and the slip coefficient satisfying the specified limit.

Jeollanam-do has 25 land-to-island and island-to-island bridges, the largest number in Korea. It is a local government rich in specialized marine and tourism resources centered on the archipelago and the sea bridges connecting them. However, in the case of sea-crossing bridges, when strong winds or typhoons occur, there is an issue that increases anxiety among users and local residents due to excessive vibration of the bridge, apart from structural safety of the bridge. In fact, in the case of Cheonsa Bridge in Shinan-gun, which was recently opened in 2019, vehicle traffic restrictions due to strong winds and excessive vibrations frequently occurred, resulting in complaints from local residents and drivers due to increased anxiety. Therefore, based on the data measured using IoT measurement technology, it is possible to relieve local residents' anxiety about the safety management of marine bridges by providing quantitative and accurate bridge vibration levels related to traffic and wind conditions of bridges in real time to local residents. This study uses the existing measurement system and IoT sensor to constantly observe the wind speed and vibration of the marine bridge, and transmits it to local residents and managers to relieve anxiety about the safety and traffic of the sea-crossing bridge, and strong winds and to develop technologies capable of preemptively responding to large-scale disasters.
