The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of hollow reinforced concrete bridge column systems with reinforcement details for material quantity reduction. The proposed reinforcement details have economic feasibility and rationality and make construction periods shorter. A model of hollow reinforced concrete bridge columns was tested under a constant axial load and a quasi-static cyclically reversed horizontal load. As a result, proposed reinforcement details for material quantity reduction were equal to existing reinforcement details in terms of required performance. The companion paper presents the experimental and analytical study for the performance assessment of hollow reinforced concrete bridge column systems with reinforcement details for material quantity reduction.

The diagnosis of bridge serviceability is carried out by a combination of in-situ visual inspection, static and dynamic loading tests and analyses. Structural health monitoring (SHM) using information technology and sensors is increasingly being used for providing a better estimate of structural performance characteristics rather than above traditional methods. Because the mechanical behavior of bridges with various kinds of damage can not be made clear, it is very difficult to estimate both the damage mode and degree of damage of existing bridges. In this paper, the sensitivity of both static and dynamic behaviors of bridges are studied as a measure of damage assessment through experiments on model bridges induced with some specified artificial damages. And, a method of damage assessment of bridges based on those behaviors is discussed in detail. Finally, based on the results, a possible application for structural health monitoring systems for existing bridges is also discussed.

교량의 내진성능을 파악하기 위해서는 대상 교량에 대한 내진성능평가 및 수치해석을 통해 검토하는 것이 일반적이다. 내진성능평가 및 수치해석을 통한 검토는 특정 대상교량에 대한 분석 방법으로 전국 교량을 관리하는 각각의 관리주체에서 이를 수행하기에는 많은 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 다양한 형식 및 특성을 지니고 있는 공용 교량에 대한 내진성능을 추정할 수 있도록 연구를 수행하였다. 내진성능 추정은 지진위험도평가 방법을 적용하였으며, 교량의 형식 및 제원에 대한 지진취약도 곡선을 산정하고 국내 내진설계기준을 적용하여 공용 중인 교량의 내진성능을 추정하였다. 또한 이를 플랫폼에 탑재하여 사용자가 국내 교량에 대한 내진성능 추정을 간편하게 검토할 수 있도록 서비스 항목을 구축하였다.

This study was conducted to investigate the seismic behavior assessment of circular reinforcement concrete bridge piers particularly with regard to assessing the displacement ductility curvature ductility response modification factor(R) and plastic hinge region etc, The experimental variables of bridge piers test consisted of transverse steel details amount and spacing different axial load levels etc. The test results indicated that reinforcement concrete bridge piers with confinement steel by the code specification exhibited suffcient ductile behavior and seismic performance. Also it is found that current seismic design code specification of confinement steel requirements may be revised.

This paper presents the results of an assessment of the seismic fragility of a long, curved multi-frame bridge under multi-support earthquake excitations. To achieve this aim, the numerical model of columns retrofitted with elliptical steel jackets was developed and validated using existing experimental results. A detailed nonlinear numerical model of the bridge that can capture the inelastic response of various components was then created. Using nonlinear time-history analyses for a set of stochastically generated spatially variable ground motions, component demands were derived and then convolved with new capacity-based limit state models to obtain seismic fragility curves. The comparison of failure probabilities obtained from uniform and multi-support excitation analyses revealed that the consideration of spatial variability significantly reduced the median value of fragility curves for most components except for the abutments. This observation indicates that the assumption of uniform motions may considerably underestimate seismic demands. Moreover, the spatial correlation of ground motions resulted in reduced dispersion of demand models that consequently decreased the dispersion of fragility curves for all components. Therefore, the spatial variability of ground motions needs to be considered for reliable assessment of the seismic performance of long multi-frame bridge structures.

최근까지 우리나라는 활성단층으로부터 멀리 떨어져 있기 때문에 지진에 대하여 안전지대라 여기었다. 그러나 최근의 강진으로 인간의 생명과 국가 경제에 막대한 손실을 발생시킨다는 것을 인지하게되었다. 따라서 최근에는 사회기간시설물에 대한 내지설계의 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 82개 원형단면과 54개의 사각단면의 철근콘크리트 교각에 대한 국내외의 실험 결과를 이용하여 철근콘크리트 교각의 내진설계와 성능평가에 대한 새로운 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 새로운 내진설계법은 중저진지역에 속하는 우리나라의 실정에 맞도록 한정연성설계 개념을 도입하였다. 또한 우리나라의 철근콘크리트 교각의 내진성능에 있어 중요한 점은 1992년 내지설계규정이 도입되기 이전에 시공된 교각들의 내진성능 확보이다. 따라서 제안된 철근콘크리트 교각의 내진성능평가식은 기존 교각들의 내진 보수 및 보강 방안을 선정하는데 유익하게 사용될 수 있으리라 판단된다.

Based on the crucial role of high-speed railway bridges (HSRBs) in the safety of high-speed railway operations, it is an important approach to mitigate earthquake hazards by proceeding with seismic risk assessments in their whole life. Bridge seismic risk assessment, which usually evaluates the seismic performance of bridges from a probabilistic perspective, provides technical support for bridge risk management. The seismic performance of bridges is greatly affected by the degradation of material properties, therefore, material damage plays a nonnegligible role in the seismic risk assessment of the bridge. The effect of material damage is not considered in most current studies on seismic risk analysis of bridges, nevertheless. To fill the gap in this area, in this paper, a nonlinear dynamic time-history analysis has been carried out by establishing OpenSees finite element model, and a seismic vulnerability analysis is carried out based on the incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) method. On this basis, combined with the site risk analysis, the time-dependent seismic risk analysis of an offshore three-span HSRB in the whole life cycle has been conducted. The results showed that the seismic risk probabilities of both components and system of the bridge increase with the service time, and their seismic risk probabilities increase significantly in the last service period due to the degradation of the material strength, which demonstrates that the impact of durability damage should be considered when evaluating the seismic performance of bridges in the design and service period.
