A method of calculating the natural frequency corresponding to the first mode of vibration of beams and tower structures, with irregular cross sections and with arbitrary boundary conditions was developed and reported by Kim, D. H. in 1974. In this paper, the result of application of this method to the three span continuous reinforced concrete bridge with elastic intermediate supports is presented. Such bridge represents either concrete or sandwich type three span bridge on polymeric supports for passive control or on actuators for active control. The concrete slab is considered as a special orthotropic plate. Any method may be used to obtain the deflection influence surfaces needed for this vibration analysis. Finite difference method is used for this purpose, in this paper, The influence of the modulus of the foundation and $D_{22}$, $D_{12}$, $D_{66}$ stiffnesses on the natural frequency is thoroughly studied.

Nonlinear analyses have been carried out for both bridge piers and a bridge structure being repaired using a repair element in order to assess the post-repair seismic response of such structures. For this purpose, a simplified CFRP stress-strain model has been proposed. The analytical predictions incorporating the current developments correlate reasonably well with experimental results in terms of strength and stiffness. In addition, nonlinear dynamaic analyses have also been conducted for a bridge structure in terms of the created multiple earthquake sets to evaluate the effect of pier repair on the response of a whole bridge structure. In these analyses, potential plastic hinge zones of piers are virtually repaired by CFRP and steel jacketing. Comparative results prove the virtual necessity of performing nonlinear post-repair analyses under multiple earthquakes, particularly when the post-repair response features are required. In all, the present approaches are expected to provide salient information regarding a healthy seismic repair intervention of a damaged strcuture.

For each construction material used, there is certain theoretical limit in sizes. For tall building construction, the reduction in slab weight is the first step to take in order to break such size limits. In this paper, the feasibility of such objective is proven and given by numerical analysis result. For a typical building slab, both concrete and advanced composite sandwich panels are considered. The concrete slab is treated as a special orthotropic plate to obtain more accurate result. For each panel, the deflection under the dead and live loads is compared, since both tensile and compressive strengths of the composites are far more higher than those of concrete. All types of sandwich panels considered, except one case, have self-weights less than one tenth of that of the reinforced concrete slab, with deflections less than that of the reinforced concrete slab.

A method of calculating the natural frequency corresponding to the first mode of vibration of beams and tower structures, with irregular cross sections and with arbitrary boundary conditions was developed and reported by Kim, D. H. in 1974. In this paper, the result of application of this method to the special orthotropic plates on elastic foundation with free boundaries is presented. Such plates represent the concrete highway slab and hybrid composite pavement on bridges. Any method may be used to obtain the deflection influence surfaces needed for this vibration analysis. Finite difference method is used for this purpose, in this paper. The influence of the modulus of the foundation and the aspect ratio of the plate on the natural frequency is thoroughly studied. The effect of neglecting the mass of the plates on the natural frequency, as the ratio of the point mass/masses to the plate mass increases, is also studied, in deep.

1970년대 이후의 고도경제성장기에 치수대책과 동시에 건설골재로서 하상이 굴착된 하천이 많으며, 국가하천 지정구간외에서는 평균하상고가 1.0m 이상 저하한 하천구간도 많다. 또한 국가하천은 상류의 사방공사나 댐건설에 의한 영향이 복합적으로 하도에 나타나고 있어 하상굴착이 하도특성에 어떤 영향을 미치는가를 실증적(實證的)으로 검증하는 것은 어려운 과제이다. 하천에서의 골재채취는 제방부의 침식에 의한 호안파괴, 하상저하에 따른 교량이나 취수보 등 구조물의 기초 노출이 치수적인 문제를 야기할 뿐만 아니라, 단시간내에 하도의 지형구조를 급격하게 변화시켜 여울 소의 하상구조 교란이나 수중 및 하천변의 서식처 파괴 등으로 하천의 물리적 환경에 큰 영향을 미침으로써 생태계를 교란하거나 파괴하는 결과를 초래하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 골재채취로 인하여 교란된 하천의 복원 및 적응관리 계획수립의 전단계에 필요한 교란평가기법을 개발하기 위하여 황강, 남강 및 감천을 대상으로 하여 대조구간과 교란구간을 선정하고 조사 분석하였다. 하천골재 채취가 없거나 경미한 대조구간에서는 홍수량이 변하지 않으면 terrace 모양의 하안부 재료가 하상재료와 거의 같기 때문에 홍수가 있으면 침식된 원래의 하폭으로 회복되는 방향으로 변하지는 않는 경향이 나타났다. 반면에 골재채취가 많은 경우 큰 홍수시의 저수로부의 수심을 증가시키기 때문에 수충부 등의 최심하상고가 크게 되는 경향이 있었으며, 고수부는 침수되는 빈도와 수심이 감소하기 때문에 토사의 퇴적속도(고수부의 상승속도)의 감소, 퇴적물의 세립화 경향이 나타나서 모래, 실트가 퇴적하지 않는 고수부상에 모래, 실트가 퇴적되는 경우가 있고, 반대로 고수부의 퇴적속도가 상승하는 경우도 있었다. 골재채취로 횡단방향의 평탄화가 초래되어 여울 소의 하상구조가 교란됨과 동시에 구간별로 종단경사가 완만해지며, 대부분 교량부에 하상유지공을 설치해야 할 정도로 하상경사가 급변하는 구간이 다수 조사되었다. 또한 선행연구에서 개발된 하상서식환경, 하상재료, 유속/수심상황, 유사퇴적, 하도흐름상태, 하도개수, 여울출현 빈도, 하안 안정성, 식생피복 및 하반림 등 10개의 교란평가항목을 적용하여 대조구간과 비교 평가하였다.

Concrete structures gradually age due to deterioration of materials or excess loads and environmental factors, and their performance decreases, affecting the usability and safety of structures. Although external tension construction methods are widely used among the reinforcement methods of old bridges, it is insufficient to identify the effects and effects of reinforcement depending on the level of aging. Therefore, in this study, a four-point loading experiment was conducted on the subject with the non-reinforced and external tensioning method to confirm the reinforcement effect of the external tensioning method, assuming the aging of the structure as a reduction in the compressive strength and tensile reinforcement of concrete, to analyze the behavior of the reinforcement and confirm the reinforcement effect. As a result of the experiment, it was difficult to identify the amount of reinforcement in the extreme condition due to early elimination of the anchorage. Therefore, compliance with the regulations on anchor bolts is required when applying the external tension reinforcement method. Crack load and yield load increased depending on whether external tension was reinforced, but before the crack, the stiffness before and after reinforcement was similar, making it difficult to confirm the reinforcement effect.

The purpose of this experimental research was to evaluate interface shear requirements between UHPC deck and concrete girder with stirrups according to Korean Highway Bridge Design Code and AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. The push-out tests are performed to analize the composite behavior in interface of connection. The test results were compared to the values of interface horizontal shear strength predicted by current codes. As the results, it was observed that the test results provided more conservative estimate for horizontal shear strength than the values by current codes equation.

In this paper, a simple but accurate method of vibration analysis of structural elements with or without attached mass/masses is presented. The method used has been developed by D.H., Kim since 1974. This method is very effective for the plates with arbitrary conditions and irregular sections. This method is applied to the special orthotropic plate with two opposite edges simply supported and the other two opposite edges free. Such plate represents the most of the simply supported bridges/decks, including concrete and girders-cross beam systems. Detailed illustration is given for beams and plates for easy understanding. Some laminate orientation for which the special orthotropic equations can be applied are identified.

In this paper, a long gauge Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor system is described and long gauge FBGs are well-suited for measuring the upper parts of the bridge piers under the extremely severe movement conditions. In the experiments, we used more than 30m long FBG sensors to measure the movement of top part of the bridge piers which are separated from the main bridge by cutting the decks. With the actuator, the deck and girders were pushed and released. We checked the movement of the top of the pier while releasing the pressure of the actuator with the long gauge fiber sensor. In order to measure the movement of the upper part of the pier, the reference point must be outside of the pier. Using the optical fiber sensors, one end of the sensor is attached to the top of the pier and the other end is attached to the bottom of the next pier. The fiber sensors showed good response to the release loading and we could calculate the movement of the top part of the pear.
