곡선교량의 복잡한 동적거동을 이해하고, 내진해석시 합리적인 해석방법을 선정할 수 있는 기초적인 연구를 수행하기 위하여 ??자유도를 포함한 절점당 7자유도를 갖는 곡선보요소와 직선보요소를 갖는 동적유한 요소해석 프로그램을 사용하여 곡선교량의 내진해석을 수행하였다. 자유진동해석 결과로부터 곡선교량의 모드특성을 직선교량과 비교하여 분석하였다. 또한, 동일지간장을 갖는 직선교와 곡선교의 지진시 거동특성을 분석하고, AASHTO의 정규교량으로 분류된 곡선교량의 내진해석방법에 대해 비교하였다. 또한, 지진하중작용방향과 곡선교량의 내부중심각을 변화시켜 곡선교량의 동적거동을 파악하였다.

Based on numerical reduced minimization theory, new anisoparametric 3-node elements for out-of-plane curved beam are developed. The elements are designed to be free from spurious constraints. In this paper, the effect of the Jacobian upon numerical solution is analyzed and predicted through reduced minimization analysis of anisoparametric 3-node elements with different Jacobian assumption. The prediction is verified by numerical tests for circular and spiral out-of-plane deformable curved beam models. This paper proposes two kinds of 3-node elements with 7-DOF; one element employs 2-point integration for all strains, and the other element uses 3-point integration with a constant Jacobian within element for calculation of shear strain.

A four-noded curved shell finite element for the geometrically non-linear analysis of beams curved in plan is introduced. The structure is conceived as a sequence of macro-elements (ME) having the form of transversal segments of identical topology where each slice is formed using a number of the curved shell elements which have 7 degrees of freedom (DOF) per node. A curved box-girder beam example is modelled using various meshes and linear analysis results are compared to the solutions of a well-known computer program SAP2000. Linear and non-linear analyses of the beam under increasing uniformly distributed loads are also carried out. In addition to box-girder beams, the proposed element can also be used in modelling open-section beams with curved or straight axes and circular plates under radial compression. Buckling loads of a circular plate example are obtained for coarse and successively refined meshes and results are compared with each other. The advantage of this element is that curved systems can be realistically modelled and satisfactory results can be obtained even by using coarse meshes.
