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.

Dry bridges have been widely applied in the Qinghai-Tibet Railway (QTR) to minimize the thermal disturbance of engineering to the permafrost. However, because the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is an area with a high potential occurrence of earthquakes, seismic action can easily destroy the dry bridges. Therefore, a three-dimensional numerical model, with consideration of the soil-pile interactions, is established to investigate the thermal characteristics and their impact on the seismic response of the dry bridge in permafrost region along the QTR. The numerical results indicate that there exist significant differences in the lateral displacement, shear force, and bending moment of the piles in different thermal conditions under seismic action. When the active layer become from unfrozen to frozen state, the maximum displacement of the bridge pile reduces, and the locations of the zero and peak values of the shear force and bending moment also change. It is found that although the higher stiffness of frozen soil confines the lateral displacement of the pile, compared with unfrozen soil, it has an adverse effect on the earthquake energy dissipation capacity.

형상비가 상대적으로 작은 철근콘크리트 교각에 지진작용으로 인한 반복 횡하중이 작용하면 초기단계와 중간단계의 변위에서는 휨 거동을 보이다가 최종변위단계에서는 전단에 의해 파괴되는 휨-전단 거동을 보인다. 휨-전단 파괴거동을 보이는 교각은 휨 파괴거동을 보이는 교각에 비하여 연성능력이 저하되므로, 내진설계 또는 내진성능평가에서 극한변위를 해석적으로 결정하기 위해서는 휨성능곡선과 함께 전단성능곡선 모델을 적용하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 원형교각에 대한 기존 모델을 수정한 전단성능곡선 모델을 제안하였고, CALTRANS 모델, Aschheim등의 모델, Priestley 등의 모델, 제안모델의 특징을 비교하였다. 또 국내에서 수행된 실물크기 기둥 실험체를 대상으로 전단성능곡선 모델을 평가하였다. 제한된 범위의 소수 실험결과에 대한 적용으로서 일반화하기는 어려울 것이지만, 실험결과와 비교 검토한 결과 제안모델이 파괴형태의 예측과 변위성능 예측의 정확도에서 매우 우수한 것으로 평가되었다.

국내외의 실험을 통해 알려진 바와 같이 RC교각의 연성능력은 소성힌지구간에 위치한 주철근 겹침이음 비율 및 횡방향 구속철근이 보유한 횡구속력에 따라 차이를 보이고 있다. 내진설계가 반영되지 못한 기존 교각의 경우 소성힌지구간의 겹침이음 비율에 따라 강도 및 연성능력의 저하에 미치는 영향이 크다. 우리나라에서는1992년 내진설계가 도입된 이후 철근콘크리트 교각의 주철근 겹침 이음에 대한 규정은 없었으나, 2005년 도로교 설계기준에서 주철근 겹침이음을 50% 이내에서 허용하고 있다. 기존 교량의 내진성능 평가 요령에 있어서도 이를 반영하여 교각의 연성능력을 평가하고 있지만 주철근 겹침이음 비율을 단순 유 무에 따라서 구분하여 평가하고 있고 평가기법 또한 명확하게 정립되어 있지 못하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 비내진 교각의 겹침이음 비율별 연성능력평가를 위하여 현재까지 국내에서 수행된 연구실험결과를 분석하고, 교각의 비선형성 및 주철근의 겹침이음을 고려하기 위하여 섬유요소를 이용한 단면해석으로 RC교각의 연성능력을 산정시 적절한 콘크리트의 극한변형률을 제시하였다.

To research the dynamic response of the high-rise structure under the rocking ground motion, which we believed that the effect cannot be ignored, especially accompanied by vertical ground motion. Theoretical analysis and shaking table seismic simulation tests were used to study the response of a high-rise structure to excitation of a H-V-R ground motion that included horizontal, vertical, and rocking components. The use of a wavelet analysis filtering technique to extract the rocking component from data for the primary horizontal component in the first part, based on the principle of horizontal pendulum seismogram and the use of a wavelet analysis filtering technique. The dynamic equation of motion for a high-rise structure under H-V-R ground motion was developed in the second part, with extra P-△ effect due to ground rocking displacement was included in the external load excitation terms of the equation of motion, and the influence of the vertical component on the high-rise structure P-△ effect was also included. Shaking table tests were performed for H-V-R ground motion using a scale model of a high-rise TV tower structure in the third part, while the results of the shaking table tests and theoretical calculation were compared in the last part, and the following conclusions were made. The results of the shaking table test were consistent with the theoretical calculation results, which verified the accuracy of the theoretical analysis. The rocking component of ground motion significantly increased the displacement of the structure and caused an asymmetric displacement of the structure. Thus, the seismic design of an engineering structure should consider the additional P-△ effect due to the rocking component. Moreover, introducing the vertical component caused the geometric stiffness of the structure to change with time, and the influence of the rocking component on the structure was amplified due to this effect.

In the present study, a new methodology is presented to study the ride comfort and bridge responses of a long-span bridge-traffic-wind coupled vibration system considering stochastic characteristics of traffic flow and bridge surface progressive deterioration. A three-dimensional vehicle model with 24 degrees-of-freedoms (DOFs) including a three-dimensional non-linear suspension seat model and the longitudinal vibration of the vehicle is firstly presented to study the ride comfort. An improved cellular automaton (CA) model considering the influence of the next-nearest neighbor vehicles and a progressive deterioration model for bridge surface roughness are firstly introduced. Based on the equivalent dynamic vehicle model approach, the bridge-traffic-wind coupled equations are established by combining the equations of motion of both the bridge and vehicles in traffic using the displacement relationship and interaction force relationship at the patch contact. The numerical simulations show that the proposed method can simulate rationally the ride comfort and bridge responses of the bridge-traffic-wind coupled system; and the vertical, lateral, and longitudinal vibrations of the driver seat model can affect significantly the driver's comfort, as expected.

The concrete track on bridge should be designed to effectively cope with the behavior of the bridge superstructure. For this purpose, in general, shear keys are designed to be installed at a certain intervals on the bridge deck, and the track slab is cast on these shear keys to transfer the load induced by the relative displacement between track and bridge. In this study, to apply the precast concrete slab track on bridge, a shear key structure and its effective installation method are presented. Also, the structural behavior of this shear key has been evaluated by the laboratory mock-up test.

Considerable research was done to study the fatigue behavior of the reinforced concrete bridge deck which is strengthened by carbon fiber. The purpose of this experimental study is to investigate the fatigue behavior and strengthening effects of the strengthened bridge deck with grid type carbon fiber plastic. The results of this study show that the displacement and the total released energy of strengthening of bridge deck are greater than the case of unstrengthened bridge deck. By strengthening of bridge deck, applied load is so distributed on whole deck member that crack concentration is efficiently controled.

Since the preservation of monuments is very important to human societies, different methods are required to preserve historic structures. In this paper, 3D model of arch stone bridge at Pont Saint Martin, Aosta, Italy, was simulated by 1660 integrated separate stones using ABAQUS$^{(R)}$ software to investigate the seismic susceptibility of the bridge. The main objective of this research was to study a method of preservation of the historical stone bridge against possible earthquakes using FRP techniques. The nonlinear behavior model of materials used theory of plasticity based on Drucker-Prager yield criterion. Then, contact behavior between the block and mortar was modeled. Also, Seismosignal software was used to collect data related to 1976 Friuli Earthquake Italy, which constitutes a real seismic loading. The results show that, retrofitting of the arch stone bridge using FRP techniques decreased displacement of stones of spandrel walls, which prevents the collapse of stones.
