  • Many slab-on-girder bridges around the world are being assessed because they are approaching the end of their anticipated design lives or codes are permitting higher allowable loads. Current analytical techniques assume that the concrete and steel components act independently, typically requiring full-scale load testing to more accurately predict the remaining strength or endurance of the structure. However, many of the load tests carried out on these types of bridges would be unnecessary if the degree of interaction resulting from friction at the steel-concrete interface could be adequately modeled. Experimental testing confirmed that interface friction has a negligible effect on the flexural capacity of a slab-on-girder beam however, it also showed that interface friction is significant under serviceability loading. This has led to the development of an improved analytical technique which is presented in this paper and referred to as the slab-on-girder mixed analysis service load assessment approach.

  • The safety of tilting train running on curved track is, in general, evaluated with a derailment coefficient calculated by the ratio of wheel load and lateral force, Particularly on curve, the wheel load and lateral force on rail may cause trackbed to be deformed, depending on their intensity, and moreover, often result in critical accident such as derailment. This study hence was intended to identify the cause of wheel load and lateral force so as to suggest the allowable wheel load reduction rate, lateral force limit and derailment coefficient, thereby quantitatively evaluating the operational safety of tilting train. This study therefore was aimed to analyze the wheel load and lateral force occurred during tilting train's operation on circular curve in such a way of comparing with traditional trains, by axle and speed, in a bid to eventually evaluate the operational safety of tilting train.

  • The bridges, which were built between 20 and 30 years ago in rural area, have to support unexpected overload caused by excessive amount of transportation. For these rural bridges, repairs and replacements are needed. To avoid the high cost of rehabilitation, the bridge rating must correctly report the present load-carrying capacity. Rating engineers use Allowable Stress Design (ASD), Load Factor Design (LFD), and Load Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) to evaluate the bridge load carrying capacity. In this paper, the load rating methods are introduced, and it is illustrated how to use the load test data from literature survey. Load test is conducted to the bridge that was built 30 years ago in rural area. From load test results, new maintenance strategy is suggested instead of the bridge replacement.

  • The size of low voltage level conductor cables can be installed with a long length just like a aviation field, shall be determined for considering the ampacity of cable and the drop of voltage for the power system. Therefore, The size of the conductor cables may be larger one for considering the tolerable voltage drop comparatively, although the allowable ampacity of the conductor cables may have a margin in comparison with the rated full load current In this case, the conductor cables' allowable ampacity will be very larger than the rated full load current and the generated heat of the conductor will be relatively downed. The conductor cables' alternating current resistance corrected with the maximum allowable temperature of the conductors, has been applied on the general formula for the calculating the voltage drop in determinating the size of low voltage level conductor cables, and the resistance is larger than the resistance corrected with the actual temperature of the conductor cables. This paper was studied for the purpose of the conductor resistance corrected with the actual temperature rise of the conductor and address the economic design formula so that this studies shall minimize the errors which can be occurred in comparison with the general formula and which can be applied in design work for determining the size of low voltage level conductor cables.

  • Subsets pipelines are exposed to several potential risks of damage due to corrosion, soil instability, anchor impact and other hazards. One of the main risk factors for the safety of a subsea pipeline is its free spanning. This paper examines the safety of subsea pipelines with free span under axial compressive load. The variation of allowable lengths of dynamic free span is examined for generalized boundary conditions. The free span is modelled as a beam with an elastic foundations and the boundary condition is replaced by linear and rotational springs at each end. A dynamic free span curve is obtained with a function of non-dimensional parameters and can be used usefully for the design of subsea pipelines with a free span. A case study is carried out to introduce the application method of the curve.

  • Probability based design(PBD) method is independent of construction materials and uses real material properties unlike allowable stress design(ASD) that depends on small clear specimen property, also give quantitative safety and endurance lifetime of a certain material. Moreover, almost advanced country accepted PBD method instead of ASD method. So it is urgent to convert the current ASD method into the PBD method. However, there are wholly lacking of domestic researches related to current issue, and to solve several points in ASD method and to take advantage of PBD method, the conversion from the ASD method into the PBD method is a worldwide trend. Other domestic construction codes, such as steel or concrete constructions, accept the PBD method as well. Accordingly, to introduce PBD method into wood structural design, general theory, and preliminary data and methods were reviewed. With keeping this in mind, some important contents were reviewed, sorted some points for wood structural design that have distinctions against the other construction materials. Furthermore, the history of PBD method, and statistical data and theories for the PBD method, and preliminary data of resistance and load that are two random variables for the PBD method, and finally the difference between limit state design(LSD) and load and resistance factor design(LRFD) that were two superpowers in the PBD method.

  • This study investigates the structural analysis result with vibration and fatigue on 3 kinds of bicycle saddle models. When the static load applies on the upper plane of model, maximum stress becomes within the allowable stress in case of model 1. As the value of Stress or deformation becomes lower on the order of model types 1, 2 and 3, these models become more stabilized or safer at durability in this order. On the vibration analysis, model type 1 has the maximum stress or deformation more than 5 times by comparing with model type 1 or 2. Model type 1 becomes most excellent on vibration durability. As maximum displacement due to vibration happens in case of model type 3, it becomes unstabilized. But the stresses of model types 1, 2 and 3 become within the allowable stress and these models are considered to be safe. At the status of the severest fatigue load, model type 3 becomes safer than model type 1 or 2. This study result is applied with the design of safe bicycle saddle and it can be useful to improve the durability by predicting prevention against the deformation due to its vibration and fatigue.

  • Steel, concrete and their combination materials are the most 6commonly used materials for civil engineering structural systems such as buildings, bridge structures and other structures. Recently, however, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites, a relatively new composite material made of fibers and polymer resins, have been gradually used in structural systems as an alternative structural material. This paper describes a comparison of design strength equations for steel column and FRP composite column based on design philosophies. The safety factors used in allowable stress design (ASD) are relatively higher in FRP structural design than steel structural design. Column critical stress equations of FRP composites column from an experimental study can be represented by Euler elastic buckling equation at the long-range of slenderness, and an exponential form at the short-range of slenderness as defined in Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) of steel column. The column strength of steel and FRP composite columns in large slenderness is independent of material strength, this result verified the elastic buckling equation as derived by Eq. (15) and Eq. (5).
