This study intends to analytically evaluate the vibration serviceability of the bridges for each long-span type having the same span length and road width using the Meister vibration sensation curve. With MIDAS, a structural analysis program, bridges were modeled using the girders as the frame element and slabs as the plate element. The transient analysis was performed using the moving loads of the design vehicles. This study presents the analytical process of reviewing the vibration serviceability during the design of long-span bridges. It involves the comparison of the vibration serviceability of different bridge types by applying the lagging-behind and acceleration amplitude from transient analysis to Meister curve. The result confirms that the process is appropriate.

최근 보행자가 교량의 진동에 의한 불안감을 느끼는 경우가 발생되면서 설계 단계에서 진동에 대한 고려하고 있다. 그러나 설계자는 범용유한요소프로그램에 이동하중을 적용하여 동적응답해석을 하는 것에 어려움을 느끼고 있으며 그 결과 Meister감각곡선에 의한 진동사용성 평가도 정확히 수행되지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 설계자들이 수행하는 교량의 진동사용성 평가방법의 간편한 적용을 위하여 이동하중모델 생성툴을 연구하였으며, 범용유한요소프로그램으로 모델링 된 교량의 매개변수를 변화해가며 진동사용성 평가를 수행하였고 연구 결과 중 매개변수의 하나인 보요소의 길이에 따른 진동사용성 평가결과만을 작성하였다. 평가결과 보요소의 길이에 따라 교량에 발생되는 진동과 가속도의 응답치가 다르게 나타났으며, 발생되는 주요주파수 범위도 다르게 해석되었다. 이러한 동적응답의 결과가 다르게 해석되면서 Meister 감각곡선에 의한 평가등급이 차이도 발생되었다. 따라서 정확한 진동사용성 평가를 위해서는 동적응답해석 시 다양한 매개변수에 의한 동적응답의 결과에 대한 연구는 물론 다양한 교량 형식과 그에 맞는 모델링에 대한 많은 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

This study investigates the criteria for assessing the vibration serviceability of highway bridges using advanced driving simulator. Reiher-Meister Curves were firstly reviewed for extended application to serviceability of highway bridges. Modified Reiher-Meister Curves were provided in this paper based on field test results and numerical analyses results. The Modified Reiher-Meister Curves were evaluated using advanced driving simulator. The new curve consisted of 4 level, A(Disturbing), B(Strongly perceptible), C(Allowable), and D(Comfortable). The new criteria will be extensively applied to design and maintain highway bridges with respect to driver condition.

This study proposes a wireless measurement system that is a new safety management system by using an FBG sensor and a PDA. The sensor part has many advantages of implementing a wireless measurement system, and the study emploies an FBG-LVDT sensor, FBG-STRAIN sensor, FBG-TEMP sensor, and FBG-ACC sensor, using FBG sensors. Also, the study show a configuration of a signal process system for operating a wireless transmission system of FBG sensors applied to the signal process system, and engrafted the cutting edge information technology industry in order to display from a remote distance using a PDA. In order to verify the applicability of the developed FBG sensors and wireless measurement monitoring system to the field, their accuracy, and usability, the study has conducted a static and dynamic test to a bridge in the field. The study made an assessment of service for the vibration of the bridge by applying dynamic data measured by an FBG-LVDT sensor and FBG-ACC sensor to Meister's curve and prepared methods for assessing the vibration of the bridge by proposing a standard of vibration limitation given the service of vibration of the bridge. As a follow up for this study, it would be necessary to set up an overall model for the standard of service assessment established in this study.
