One of the shortcomings of seismic bridge design codes is the lack of clarity in defining the role of different seismic isolation systems with linear or nonlinear behavior in terms of R-factor. For example, based on AASHTO guide specifications for seismic isolation design, R-factor for all substructure elements of isolated bridges should be half of those expressed in the AASHTO standard specifications for highway bridges (i.e., R=3 for single columns and R=5 for multiple column bent) but not less than 1.50. However, no distinction is made between two commonly used types of seismic isolation devices, i.e., elastomeric rubber bearing (ERB) with linear behavior, and lead rubber bearing (LRB) with nonlinear behavior. In this paper, five existing bridges located in Iran with two types of deck-pier connection including ERB and LRB isolators, and two bridge models with monolithic deck-pier connection are developed and their R-factor values are assessed based on the Uang's method. The average R-factors for the bridges with ERB isolators are calculated as 3.89 and 4.91 in the longitudinal and transverse directions, respectively, which are not in consonance with the AASHTO guide specifications for seismic isolation design (i.e., R=3/2=1.5 for the longitudinal direction and R=5/2=2.5 for the transverse direction). This is a clear indicator that the code-prescribed R-factors are conservative for typical bridges with ERB isolators. Also for the bridges with LRB isolators, the average computed R-factors equal 1.652 and 2.232 in the longitudinal and transverse directions, respectively, which are in a good agreement with the code-specified R-factor values. Moreover, in the bridges with monolithic deck-pier connection, the average R-factor in the longitudinal direction is obtained as 2.92 which is close to the specified R-factor in the bridge design codes (i.e., 3), and in the transverse direction is obtained as 2.41 which is about half of the corresponding R-factor value in the specifications (i.e., 5).

상자형보와 윈형기둥으로 구성된 강재교각 정합부의 응력평가식 제안에 대한 연구이다. 원형기둥을 각형으로 치환하여 사용하고 있는 기존의 응력평가식은 정합각도가 감소함에 따라 전단지언능력은 과소평가되고, 전단응력은 접협각도가 증가함에 따라 과대하게 평가되는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 이라한 문제점 을 보완하기 위해 다양한 매개변수, 즉 접합각도 (${\alpha}$), 전단지간/보의 폭비 (L/B) 기둥의 휨강성/보의 휨강성비 (k) 를 사용하여 유한요소해석을 수행하고 해석결과를 이용하여 기존 응력평가식의 문제점을 보완할 수 있는 응력평가식을 제안하였다. 한편, 허용응력 대비 극한내하력의 안전율을 검토하기 위해 재료 및 기하 비선형해석을 수행하여 제안식의 타당성을 확인하였다.

The collapses of curved bridges are mainly caused by the damaged columns, subjected to the combined loadings of axial load, shear force, flexural moment and torsional moment, under earthquakes. However, these combined loadings have not been fully investigated. This paper firstly investigated the mechanical characteristics of the bending-torsion coupling effects, based on the seismic response spectrum analysis of 24 curved bridge models. And then 9 reinforced concrete (RC) and circular column specimens were tested, by changing the bending-tortion ratio (M/T), axial compression ratio, longitudinal reinforcement ratio and spiral reinforcement ratio, respectively. The results show that the bending-torsion coupling effects of piers are more significant, along with the decrease of girder curvature and the increase of pier height. The M/T ratio ranges from 6 to 15 for common cases, and influences the crack distribution, plastic zone and hysteretic curve of piers. And these seismic characteristics are also influenced by the compression ratio, longitudinal reinforcement ratio and spiral reinforcement ratios of piers.

This study deals with the quasi-static tests on steel reinforced concrete composite columns with single embedded steel or multiple members. For the design of bridge piers, the composite section needs to have low steel ratio for cost savings because the dimension of the pier section is usually large. There is lack of design guidelines for these composite columns with low steel ratio, but the design provisions for the normal reinforced concrete column can be used for the design because of the low steel ratio. It is necessary to provide the design provisions in terms of the strength limit state and seismic performance by the detail requirements on the longitudinal steel and the transverse steel. The test parameters in this study were determined considering the current design provisions on RC columns. Through the quasi-static tests, the seismic performance of the composite columns were discussed.

The Korean Bridge Design Standard Specifications adopted the seismic design requirements in 1992. However, The current seismic design requirements for bridges are based on the USA seismic codes for sever earthquake. This provides the basic factors that affects the performance of spiral reinforced concrete piers for seismic loading, and The specimen tests are performed based on load-displacement, effective stiffness and displacement ductility, etc. The quasi-static test was adopted in order to investigate seismic performance of the spiral reinforced concrete pier specimens which had different transverse steel amount, spacing and longitudinal steel ratio under different axial load levels. This study is concluded that seismic design for transverse reinforcement content of spiral reinforced concrete column has influenced on axial load and effective stiffness etc.

In this paper, the seismic performance of SRC piers for near fault motions was evaluated by shaking table tests on small scale models. Dead load of the superstructures was simulated by axial prestress at the center of the column section. A mass frame linked with steel bars was fabricated to include the effect of superstructure mass. Friction of the mass frame when it moves was minimized by special details and it was proved before tests. Five pier models with 400mm diameter were tested by increasing the acceleration of the near fault motion. Test results were discussed and compared with previous quasi-static tests.

This paper deals with shaking table tests on RC piers to evaluate the seismic performance under near fault motion. Small scale models were fabricated and axial force was applied by introducing prestress at the centroid of the column section. Mass effect of the superstructures was simulated by mass frame which was linked with a pier model by steel bars because of the limited payload of shaking table. Friction of the mass frame when it moves was minimized by special details and it was proved before tests. Scale factor of the RC piers was 4.25. Main parameters of the test were details of reinforcements. After verifying the results of shaking table tests, seismic performance was evaluated by increasing the acceleration of the near fault motion.

비선형 말뚝두부강성을 고려한 3차원 군말뚝기초 해석기법(YSGroup)을 개발하였으며 이를 기타 해석기법들(탄성 변위법, Croup 6.0, FBPier 3.0)과 비교${\cdot}$분석하였다. 본 해석기법은 말뚝캡을 평면쉘요소로, 교각은 3차원 보요소로, 그리고 개개 말뚝들은 보-기둥요소로 모델링 하였다. 교각 상단에 수평하중을 받는 $2\times2$배열 군말뚝기초에서 지반을 선형으로 가정한 경우를 대상으로 탄성변위법, Group 6.0, FBPier 3.0, 그리고 본 해석기법(YSGroup)을 이용하여 해석한 결과, 본 해석기법과 탄성변위법, Group 6.0은 서로 유사한 말뚝두부변위가 산정되었으나 FBPier 3.0는 다소 큰변위가 산정되었다. 지반의 비선형성이 고려된 상부구조물(교각)의 변위는 본 해석기법(YSGroup)과 FBPier 3.0을 통해 산정 가능하였는데, 이는 본 해석기법과 FBPier 3.0은 유한요소법을 이용하여 상부구조물을 직접 모델링하였기 때문이다. 말뚝두부조건이 힌지조건인 경우의 군말뚝은 말뚝캡의 과다한 회전이 발생할 가능성이 큼을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구는 도로교의 교각으로 널리 사용되고 있는 2주형 철근 콘크리트 교각의 내진성능과 보강방안을 실험적으로 수행하였다. 실험체는 지름 400mm, 높이 2,000mm인 2주형 원형교각 10기를 제작하였으며, 하중은 $0.1f_{ck}A_g$ 크기의 축방향하중하에서 교축방향과 교축직각방향의 이축 횡방향하중을 교번 반복재하하였다. 실험변수는 심부구속철근비, 주하중방향, 주철근 겹침이음 그리고 보강방안을 선택하였다. 주철근 겹침이음이 있는 교각에 대한 보강방안으로 steel band, steel jacket, 그리고 prestress 강선을 이용하였다. 실험 결과 주하중방향이 교축직각인 실험체가 소성힌지구간이 교각의 상 하부 양측에 발생하면서 주하중 방향이 교축방향인 실험체보다 연성 능력이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 프리스트레스 강선으로 보강한 실험체는 과보강으로 인한 소성힌지구간의 이동으로 연성도 저하가 나타났으나, steel jacket 및 steel band로 보강한 실험체는 모두 요구연성도를 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, steel band에 의한 보강방안은 시공성 등을 감안하여 바람직한 철근 콘크리트 교각의 내진 보강방안으로 고려될 수 있다.
