The main focus of this study is to numerically investigate the influence of strong earthquake and tsunami-induced wave impact on the response and behavior of a cable-stayed steel bridge with large caisson foundations, by assuming that the earthquake and the tsunami come from the same fault motion. For this purpose, a series of numerical simulations were carried out. First of all, the tsunami-induced flow speed, direction and tsunami height were determined by conducting a two-dimensional (2D) tsunami propagation analysis in a large area, and then these parameters obtained from tsunami propagation analysis were employed in a detailed three-dimensional (3D) fluid analysis to obtain tsunami-induced wave impact force. Furthermore, a fiber model, which is commonly used in the seismic analysis of steel bridge structures, was adopted considering material and geometric nonlinearity. The residual stresses induced by the earthquake were applied into the numerical model during the following finite element analysis as the initial stress state, in which the acquired tsunami forces were input to a whole bridge system. Based on the analytical results, it can be seen that the foundation sliding was not observed although the caisson foundation came floating slightly, and the damage arising during the earthquake did not expand when the tsunami-induced wave impact is applied to the steel bridge. It is concluded that the influence of tsunami-induced wave force is relatively small for such steel bridge with large caisson foundations. Besides, a numerical procedure is proposed for quantitatively estimating the accumulative damage induced by the earthquake and the tsunami in the whole bridge system with large caisson foundations.

공정과 공사비는 건설 프로젝트의 관리에 있어서 매우 중요한 두 가지 요소로써, 그동안 이들을 통합 관리하려는 노력이 많이 이루어져 왔으나 국내의 국가계약법에 따른 내역체계의 한계점과 내역 및 WBS 표준화 작업의 미흡으로 인해 실제 시행에 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 본 연구에서는 최신관리기법인 BIM의 객체기반 3D 모델링 정보를 이용하여 비용과 일정정보를 연계하여 관리하는 방안을 제시하였다. 먼저 프로젝트 구성정보를 비용, 일정, 구조물의 부위별 구성요소로 나누고 각 구성정보에 의한 분류체계의 특징을 분석하였고, 국내의 내역중심 관리체계와 전체적인 관리 시스템 상의 한계를 감안하여 제약조건을 절정하고 작업분류체계(WBS)를 통한 일정정보를 중심으로 비용과 3D 모델링의 부위별 객체들을 연계하는 방안을 제시하였다. 제시된 방안의 검증을 위하여 대림산업에서 시공중인 청풍대교 현장에 대하여 사례연구를 실시하였으며, 이를 통하여 일정변화에 따른 시각화 및 비용예측 등의 기대효과를 확인하고 한계점 및 향후 추가 연구사항들을 가늠해볼 수 있었다.

Dynamic displacement of structures is an important index for in-service structural condition and behavior assessment, but accurate measurement of structural displacement for large-scale civil structures such as long-span bridges still remains as a challenging task. In this paper, a vision-based dynamic displacement measurement system with the use of digital image processing technology is developed, which is featured by its distinctive characteristics in non-contact, long-distance, and high-precision structural displacement measurement. The hardware of this system is mainly composed of a high-resolution industrial CCD (charge-coupled-device) digital camera and an extended-range zoom lens. Through continuously tracing and identifying a target on the structure, the structural displacement is derived through cross-correlation analysis between the predefined pattern and the captured digital images with the aid of a pattern matching algorithm. To validate the developed system, MTS tests of sinusoidal motions under different vibration frequencies and amplitudes and shaking table tests with different excitations (the El-Centro earthquake wave and a sinusoidal motion) are carried out. Additionally, in-situ verification experiments are performed to measure the mid-span vertical displacement of the suspension Tsing Ma Bridge in the operational condition and the cable-stayed Stonecutters Bridge during loading tests. The obtained results show that the developed system exhibits an excellent capability in real-time measurement of structural displacement and can serve as a good complement to the traditional sensors.

The girder of self-anchored suspension bridge is subjected to large compression force applied by main cables. So, serious damage of the girder due to breakage of hangers may cause collapse of the whole bridge. With the time increasing, the hangers may break suddenly for their resistance capacities decrease due to corrosion. Using nonlinear static and dynamic analysis methods and adopting 3D finite element model, the responses of a concrete self-anchored suspension bridge to sudden breakage of hangers are studied in this paper. The results show that the sudden breakage of a hanger has significant effects on tensions of the hangers next to the broken hanger, bending and torsion moments of the girder, moments of the towers and reaction forces of the bearings. The results obtained from dynamic analysis method are very different from those obtained from static analysis method. The maximum tension of hanger produced by breakage of a hanger exceeds 2.2 times of its initial value, the maximum dynamic amplification factor reaches 2.54, which is larger than the value of 2.0 recommended for cable-stayed bridge in PTI codes. If two adjacent hangers on the same side of bridge break one after another, the maximum tension of other hangers exceeds 3.0 times of its initial value. If the safety factor adopted to design hanger is too small, or the hangers have been exposed to corrosion, the bridge may collapse due to breakage of two adjacent hangers.

사장교의 적용지간이 증가하여 초장대화하면서 구조안전성을 확보하기 위한 다양한 노력이 시도되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 현재까지 시도된 적이 없는 주경간 1,200m 사장교의 내풍안정성을 검토하기위하여 3차원공탄성 모형을 제작하고 풍동실험을 수행하였다.(그림1 참조) 실험대상 구조물은 내풍안정성 증대를 위해 유선형 박스거더를 채용하고 케이블이 거더와 함께 비틀림에 저항하도록 2면 케이블을 적용하였다. 구조적인 측면에서는 보강형 자중감소를 위해 전경간을 강박스로 계획하였으며 측경간에 부반력제어를 위한 Counter Weight을 적용하였다. 실험대상 구조물은 완성계, 가설계95%, 가설계50%, 가설계45%로 모형을 해체하면서 진행하였고 가설단계 별로 내풍케이블의 수량과 형상을 달리하여 내풍안정성 개선효과를 확인하고자 하였다. 3차원 풍동실험 결과 완성계에서 교량의 안전성에 심각한 문제를 발생시킬 수 있는 와류진동, 플러터, 버페팅과 같은 유해한 진동현상이 발견되지 않았으며, 시공중 내풍안정성 확보를 위하여 대상교량에 내풍케이블을 설치하고 내풍케이블의 수량 및 배치형상에 따른 진동제어 효과를 검토하였다. 본 실험은 현재 풍동실험 요소기술을 이용하여 1,200m급 사장교 풍동실험을 수행하였고 이에 따라 교량이 초장대화 되면서 스케일다운에 따른 보강형질량, 케이블 간격 등 실험모형 제작상 문제점을 확인 할 수 있었으며 이러한 경험을 토대로 향후 1,000m 이상급 초장대 사장교 내풍설계를 위한 기초자료로 활용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Damping ratio and frequency have influence on dynamic serviceability or instability such as vortex-induced vibration and displacement amplification due to earthquake and critical flutter velocity, and it is thus important to make determination of damping ratio and frequency accurate. As bridges are getting longer, small scale model test considering similitude law must be conducted to evaluate damping ratio and frequency. Analysis conditions modified by similitude law are applied to experimental test considering different scale ratios. Generally, Nyquist frequency condition based on natural frequency modified by similitude law has been used to determine sampling rate for different scale ratios, and total time length has been determined by users arbitrarily or by considering similitude law with respect to time for different scale ratios. However, Nyquist frequency condition is not suitable for multimode system with noisy signals. In addition, there is no specified criteria for determination of total time length. Those analysis conditions severely affect accuracy of damping ratio. The focus of this study is made on the determination of minimum analysis conditions for different scale ratios. Influence of signal to noise ratio is studied according to the level of noise level. Free initial value problem is proposed to resolve the condition that is difficult to know original initial value for free vibration. Ambient and free vibration tests were used to analyze the dynamic properties of a system using data collected from tests with a two degree-of-freedom section model and performed on full bridge 3D models of cable stayed bridges. The free decay is estimated with the stochastic subspace identification method that uses displacement data to measure damping ratios under noisy conditions, and the iterative least squares method that adopts low pass filtering and fourth order central differencing. Reasonable results were yielded in numerical and experimental tests.
