Safety accidents have been reported due to falling accumulated snow from cables of cable-supported bridges. In addition to the direct damage caused by falling snow, secondary damage, such as traffic accidents, can occur. Various methods have been proposed to prevent these accidents, but there are still problems in safety and practicality. In this study, a cable robot type was selected as one of the active methods for removing accumulated snow on cables. An attempt was made to increase the climbing ability of the robot to improve the efficiency of snow removal. In addition, the available range of cable diameter for the robot can be adjusted flexibly to be applied to cables used in the field. A high-resolution camera was also installed to check the surface condition of the cable in real time to increase the utility, and be used as a cable inspection robot. A three-axis accelerometer and a tension conversion algorithm were added to measure the tension force of cables. To verify the performance, indoor and field experiments were conducted, and future improvements for the inspection robot were proposed.

The purpose of this study is to rationally determine the priority of seismic reinforcement of main(key) members of bridges. Cable Supported bridge was selected as the evaluation target and the reliability based on the probability distribution was used to evaluate the seismic fragility of the key members as a quantitative indicator. The safety factor, which is a random variable, is considered an artificial (fixed load and live load) load and a natural (earthquake, wind, temperature, etc.) load. The seismic load is applied as a possible earthquake during the lifetime of the bridge. From analyzing the fragility of each key member based on the seismic reliability, it can be concluded that the shoe (23.8%) was the most fragile, where the other members are ranked as place concrete (20.5%), pier (18.9%), foundation (17.3%) and cable (5.0%) respectively.

The objective of this study is to evaluate elastic modulus of bridge-axis direction for optimum structure system in the cable-stayed bridge design. In numerical example of this study, a slight change in axis direction elastic modulus causes major modifications of the bridge characteristics when it is $1\times10^4$ tonf/m/bearing or less. Therefore, the elastic modulus was set at this lower limit of $1\times10^4$ tonf/m/bearing where the strength of the entire bridge system is still determined by girder strength and the entire system is insensitive to variations in elastic modulus. Besides, cable-stayed bridge with freely supported girders have slightly longer vibration periods in the horizontal direction for earthquake forces.

Each static and cyclic load test was performed in a laboratory model test. As a result, ground displacement decreased and bearing capacity of the soil increased owing to the sheer strength of geosynthetics in general. In addition, numerical analysis was operated using Mohr-Coulomb, Modified Cam-Clay models, and FLAC 4.0 2D and compared with the laboratory model test. The results were shown to be of a great difference because the existing equations had not considered the characteristics that sheer strength increases with a load increment. Therefore, this paper proposes an equation of cable elements considering an effect of load given through repeated tests.

캣워크는 현수교의 주케이블을 가설을 위해 일시적으로 설치하는 공중작업발판으로 주케이블 가설장비와 작업원 등의 하중을 지지한다. 캣워크는 유연한 구조물로서 풍하중에 상당한 변형이 발생한다. 하지만, 국내외를 막론하고 캣워크의 내풍안정성에 대한 연구는 별로 이루어지지 않았다. 거기에 더하여 캣워크에 작용하는 정적 공기력에 대한 정보도 부족하며, 현재 캣워크 단면에 대한 적절한 풍하중을 산정하지 못하고 경험적인 설계가 이루어지고 있다. 따라서 캣워크의 효율적인 내풍설계를 위하여 풍동실험을 통한 충실률과 공기력계수와의 관계를 알아보는 것이 필요하다. 이를 위하여 축척 1/4인 모형을 사용한 풍동실험을 통하여 메쉬망의 크기를 변화시키면서 충실률에 따른 공기력계수를 측정하고 설계식을 제안하고자 한다. 캣워크는 로프와 아울러 가는 철망으로 아래와 양 옆이 막혀 있다. 즉 바람을 직접 받는 부분인 철망은 가는 원형단면으로 구성되어 있다. 원형 단면의 경우에 레이놀즈 수에 따라 항력계수가 크게 변하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 가는 원형 단면으로 둘러싸인 캣워크의 항력계수에 레이놀즈 수가 미치는 영향에 대해서는 연구된 바가 없다. 본 연구에서는 캣워크의 공기력계수에 미치는 레이놀즈 수에 대한 영향을 파악하고자 1/4모형과 1/14모형을 제작하여 최대풍속 30m/s까지 변화시켜가면서 공기력계수를 측정하였다. 이때 레이놀즈 수는 최대 20배까지 차이가 나므로 만약 공기력계수가 레이놀즈 수의 영향을 받는다면 확실히 그 영향을 파악할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 풍동실험을 통해 충실률과 공기력계수와의 관계과 레이놀즈 수의 영향을 살펴보았으며, 정적공기력 계수의 설계식을 제안하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 얻은 결과를 정리하면 다음과 같다. 1. 축척 1/14 및 1/4 모형을 사용하여 다양한 풍속에서 공기력계수를 측정한 결과, 캣워크에 작용하는 정적 공기력계수는 레이놀즈 수의 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 향후 새로운 형식의 캣워크에 대한 풍동실험을 수행할 경우에 축척에 상관없이 풍동실험 결과를 사용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 2. 풍동실험 결과, 캣워크에 작용하는 정적 공기력계수 중 항력계수와 피칭모멘트계수는 측면 충실률에 따라 달라지고, 영각에 대한 양력계수의 기울기는 하부 충실률의 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 주케이블이 캣워크 내부에 위치하고 있어도 캣워크의 정적 공기력계수에는 큰 영향을 미치지 않은 것으로 측정되었다. 이를 정리하여 캣워크 충실률에 따른 정적 공기력계수의 추정식을 제안하였다.

It is not a simple task to optimize a cable stayed bridge, because it involves, in addition to the section properties, number and arrangement of cables, initial tension forces of cables, and type and height of the tower as design variables. This study deals with an optimization problem of cable stayed bridges considering initial cable forces, section properties of the girder and the tower, and coordinates of the tower. In order to avoid difficulties in dealing with numerous variables which interact mutually, separate design spaces are adopted for initial cable forces, section properties, and coordinates, respectively. Strain energy stored in the structure is used as the object function in the design of the initial cable forces, while weight of the structure is used in the design of section and coordinates. Upper and lower limits of the initial forces, allowable stresses including the effect of buckling, and lower limit of the sectional area are considered as constraints. The proposed method is applied to a fan type bridge and a harp type bridge. It is believed through comparison of the results to the previous results in the literature that the proposed method renders rational design values. It is also shown that the coordinate optimization, which is usually deleted in the optimization process, results in additional saving of materials.

Because the stiffening girders are constructed after the installation of hangers for typical suspension bridge, no additional tensioning to hangers in construction is necessary for this bridge type in which main cable is earth-anchored. However, for self-anchored suspension bridge, hangers are installed after temporarily supporting stiffening girders constructed in previous stage. Therefore, initial tension is required on installing hangers. Tension of hangers varies as the construction proceeds. Hence, it is necessary to determine the most efficient method of installing hangers among several methods. This study presents finite element procedures and the algorithms of construction stage analysis to simulate construction processes. Geometric nonlinear analysis scheme is also included. The most effective method regarding the installation of hangers is presented through the examples of actual bridge model.

For bridge-vehicle interaction analysis of cable-supported brides, the superposition method is applied based on the results of 3-dimensional free vibration analysis using General-purpose FEM Software. This study firstly performs the eigenvalue analysis for the free vertical and the torsional vibration of bridges using FEM analysis. Next the equations of motion considering interaction between bridges and vehicles/train are derived from mode superposition method. And then dynamic analysis is performed using the Newmark numericial method. Finally through the numerical examples, the dynamic responses of cable-supported bridges by this study are presented and discussed.

본 연구에서는 콘크리트 속에서 인장과 전단을 받는 FRP 다우얼의 거동과 파괴를 예측할 수 잇는 수리적인 파괴 해석 모델을 개발하였다. 다우얼 파괴해석 모델은 다우얼 작용과 파괴기준에 대한 두 개의 하위 모델로 구성되어 있는데 이들을 수정, 결합하여 만들어졌다. 다우얼 작용에 대한 모델로는 BEF 모델을 기초로 하여 두가지의 지수를 새로이 정의, 사용하였는데 하나는 콘크리트지지 강성을 변화시키기 위한 변위 정도 지수이고 다른 하나는 긴장된 케이블의 반력을 고려하기 위한 인장 지수이다. 인장과 전단이 작용하는 FRP다우얼의파괴 모델로는 Tsai-Hill 파괴기준이 사용되었고 이 기준을 적용하기 위하여 파괴 계수를 정의하였다. 개발된 파괴 해석 모델은 긴장된 FRP다우얼의 극한 전단력과 극한 변위를 예측하는데 사용하였고, 해석결과는 여러 인장응력을 가진 FRP 다우얼의 시험결과와 비교하였다.
