This study describes an analytical and experimental investigation of the pedestrian steel-deck truss bridge in the City of Rochester, New York, U.S.A. This investigation was undertaken to provide assurance that this important bridge continues to be functional for this use. An ambient vibration experiment on full-scale structures is a way of assessing the reliability of the various assumptions employed in the mathematical models used in analysis. It is also the most reliable way of determining the structural parameters of major importance in structural dynamics, such as the mode shapes and the associated natural frequencies. Pedestrian-induced vibrations have been measured on the bridge to determine the displacement and the vertical and transverse dynamic characteristics of the steel deck truss. In the analytical modeling, three-dimensional finite element analysis was developed and validated against the ambient tests.

This paper deals with the data processing method relative to reference frames through the calculation of absolute coordinates of permanent GPS site which was established at Sungkyunkwan University. In this paper. we computed the ITRF97 coordinates with high precision (0.0001 ppm) from GPS data analysis. Also, we derived the accurate coordinates referred to WGS84 and Korean Geodetic Datum (KGD) using transformation parameters provided. ITRF97 coordinates were computed by using the GIPSY-OASIS II (GOA II) software and the algorithms for determining the position developed Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). The coordinates referred to WGS84 and KGD were derived from the transformation parameters provided by International Earth Rotation Service (IERS) and National Geography Institute (NGI). The parameters determined by NGI were calculated from the 2000 project of the establishment of geocentric coordinate system. We tested its availability through the comparison of the coordinates obtained from local GPS data analysis.

We installed temporary strong motion seismometers at the ground surface, 1 m, 2 m, and 9 m at an existing seismic station that houses permanent seismometers installed at 20 m and 100 m, to investigate the influence of installation depth on the recorded ambient and anthropogenic noise level and the characteristics of earthquake signals. Analysis of the ambient noise shows that anthropogenic noise dominates where vibration period T < 1 s at the studied site, whereas wind speed appears to be strongly correlated with the noise level at T > 1 s. Frequency-wavenumber analysis of 2D seismometer array suggests that ambient noise in short periods are predominantly body waves, rather than surface waves. The level of ambient noise was low at 9 m and 20 m, but strong amplification of noise level at T < 0.1 s was observed at the shallow seismometers. Both the active-source test result and the recorded earthquake data demonstrated that the signal level is decreased with the increase of depth. Our result also shows that recorded motions at the ground and 1 m are strongly amplified at 20 Hz (T = 0.05 s), likely due to the resonance of the 3 m thick soil layer. This study demonstrates that analysis of ambient and active-source vibration may help find optimal installation depth of strong motion seismometers. We expect that further research considering various noise environments and geological conditions will be helpful in establishing a guideline for optimal installation of strong motion seismometers.

The operational modal analysis (OMA) technique, which extracts the modal parameters of a structural system using ambient vibrations, has been actively developed as a field of structural health monitoring of cable-supported bridges. In this paper, the short and long-term modal parameters of a cable-stayed bridge were evaluated using the acceleration data obtained from the two ambient vibration tests (AVTs) and three years of continuous measurements. A total of 27 vertical modes and 1 lateral mode in the range 0.1 ~ 2.5 Hz were extracted from the high-resolution AVTs which were conducted in the 6th and 19th years after its completion. Existing OMA methods such as Peak-Picking (PP), Eigensystem Realization Algorithm with Data Correlation (ERADC), Frequency Domain Decomposition (FDD) and Time Domain Decomposition (TDD) were applied for modal parameters extraction, and it was confirmed that there was no significant difference between the applied methods. From the correlation analysis between long-term natural frequencies and environmental factors, it was confirmed that temperature change is the dominant factor influencing natural frequency fluctuations. It was revealed that the decreased natural frequencies of the bridge were not due to changes in structural performance and integrity, but to the environmental effects caused by the temperature difference between the two AVTs. In addition, when the TDD technique is applied, the accuracy of extracted mode shapes is improved by adding a proposed algorithm that normalizes the sequence so that the autocorrelations at zero lag equal 1.

This paper presents an adaptive fuzzy backstepping (AFB) controller for a single-link flexible joint robot in the Presence of Parametric uncertainties and external disturbances. Adaptive fuzzy logic systems are used as universal approximators to counteract the model uncertainties coming from robot dynamics and to compensate for the nonlinearities coming from adaptive backstepping method. The approach suggested herein does not require neither an additional supervisory nor a robustifying controller and guarantees that tracking error is uniformly ultimately bounded (UUB) within a sufficiently small residual set. Finally, a simulation result is given to demonstrate the robust tracking performance of proposed design method.

In safety assessment of a aged bridge, dynamic characteristics and displacement are directly related to the rigidity of the structural system, especially displacement is the most important factor as the physical quantity that the bridge user can directly detect. However, in order to measure the displacement of the bridge, it is difficult to install displacement sensors at the bottom of the bridge and conduct traffic blocking and loading tests, resulting in increased costs or impossible measurements depending on the bridge's environment. In this study, a method of measuring the displacement of a bridge using only accelerometers without installing displacement sensors and ambient vibration without a loading test was proposed. For the analysis of bridge dynamic characteristics and displacement using ambient vibration, the mode shape and natural frequency of the bridge were extracted using a TDD technique known to enable quick analysis with simple calculations, and the unit load displacement of the bridge was analyzed through flexibility analysis to calculate static displacement. To verify this proposed technology, an on-site test was conducted on C Bridge, and the results were compared with the measured values of the loading test and the structural analysis data. As a result, it was confirmed that the mode shape and natural frequency were 0.42 to 1.13 % error ratio, and the maximum displacement at the main span was 3.58 % error ratio. Therefore, the proposed technology can be used as a basis data for indirectly determine the safety of the bridge by comparing the amount of displacement compared to the design and analysis values by estimating the displacement of the bridge that could not be measured due to the difficulty of installing displacement sensors.

GIS 예방진단을 위해 개발한 "UHF 온라인 부분방전 상시감시시스템"을 실 변전소에 설치하여 실증시험을 수행하였다. 345 kV급 변전소의 GIS 2개 bay를 감시하기 위해, GIS에 설치된 총 14개의 UHF 센서로부터 측정된 방전신호를 변전소 switchyard에 설치된 local unit에서 수집하였다. Local unit에서 UHF 대역의 방전신호를 디지털 신호로 변환한 후, 광섬유를 통해 변전소 급전분소에 설치된 중앙서버에 전송토록 하였다. 중앙처리장치에서는 단위 방전신호의 분석 및 트랜드 분석이 가능하며, 사용자에게 자동으로 방전원인을 알려준다. 설치된 상시감시시스템은 우수한 외부 잡음제거능력을 보였으며, 측정된 방전신호를 요약하여 사용자에게 reporting하는 등 다양한 편의성을 제공하고 있다.
