본 연구에서는 3가지 교각형상에 대하여 국부적 정지상세굴에 대한 실험결과를 분석하였다. 실험결과에 의하면 교각의 세굴은 $V/V_c=0.4{\sim}0.5$, $Fr_p{\fallingdotseq}0.2$일 때 시작되었고 상대세굴심은 유속비와 교각푸르드수와의 관계에서 선형적으로 증가하였다. 또한 상대세굴심은 ${\tau}_r$ < $10^{-4}$일 때는 선형적으로 증가하지만 ${\tau}_r$ > $10^{-4}$이 되면 일정해지는 경향을 가지며 모래의 기하표준편차(${\sigma}_g$)와 교각형상과도 깊은 관계가 있었다.

Scour means the erosion of bed material by flow change when a bridge is constructed in a stream. Scour is one of the critical factors of a bridge failure. There are several methods for the monitoring of scour near bridge foundations; Sounding rods, Magnetic sliding collar System, Sonar system, underwater camera system and so on. In general, Sonar system is preferred due to its convenience and good accuracy. In this study, the new scour monitoring system was developed using profiling sonar sensor. The new system can measure a line profile of a seabed and has small size due to the effectively designed data logger. The performance of the new scour monitoring system was evaluated at a bridge pier in tidal environment. The measured local scour depths were discussed with the result of the empirical formulas; CSU, Froehlich, Laursen and Neill.

The conventional design of bridge piers against scour uses scour equations which involve number of uncertain flow, sediments and structural parameters. The inherent high uncertainties in these parameters suggest that the reliability of piers must be assessed to ensure desirable safety of bridges against scour. In the present study, a procedure for the reliability assessment of bridge piers, installed in main and flood channels, against scour has been presented. To study the influence of various random variables on piers' reliability sensitivity analysis has been carried out. To incorporate the reliability in the evaluation of safety factor, a simplified relationship between safety factor and reliability index has been proposed. Effects of clear water (flood channel) and live bed scour (main channel) are highlighted on pier reliability. In addition to these, an attempt has also been made to explain the failure of Black mount bridge of New Zealand based on its pier's reliability analysis. Some parametric studies have also been included to obtain the results of practical interest.

하천 교각에서 유발되는 국부세굴은 교량의 붕괴를 유발하는 요인들 가운데 하나로 알려져 있다. 그러나, 교각주위 하천 흐름은 매우 복잡하기 때문에 국부세굴을 정확하게 산정하는 경험식을 도출하기가 쉽지 않다. 따라서, 기존의 경험식들은 특정 세굴 자료에는 좋은 상관 관계를 보이지만 다양한 현장 세굴자료들에 대해 신뢰성 있는 예측 정도를 갖기는 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 많은 현장 계측자료를 바탕으로 국부세굴심을 산정할 수 있는 인공신경망 모델을 제안하고자 하였다. 제안된 산정식은 교각 형상, 교각 폭, 교각 길이, 흐름 입사각, 흐름 속도, 수심 및 $D_{50}$의 총 7개의 변수의 함수로 구성되었다. 인공신경망 모델의 학습과 검증에 총 426개의 현장 계측자료들이 사용되었으며, 인공신경망 모델이 기존 경험 식들에 비하여 개선된 예측정도를 보임을 확인하였다.

According to researchers, the influential factors of scouring are generally divided into three factors: the flow conditions, the type and position of structures, and the characteristics of bed materials. In addition, scouring is affected by the 3-dimensional turbulent boundaries, the unsteady flow, the movement of sediment in the scour-hole area, the approach flow velocity and depth, the width of bridge foundation/pier, and the particle size of bed materials. However, it is difficult to estimate the scour depth near bridge piers when all conditions are factored in at once. Therefore, for reasonably accurate estimates of scour depth, it is essential to consider sufficiently the flow force and resisting force for scour. That is, to determine the shear stress concerning the bed material distribution is needed. In this study, the experiments were performed under the condition of a steady state of flow. As a result, scouring occurred at velocity ratios of 0.476,$(V/V_c=0.476)$, and the scour depth was increased linearly as the velocity ratio increased. in addition, the average values of shear stress ratio at zero scouring depth in both rectangular and circular piers were approximately 7$(\tau_c/\tau_{approach})$ and in the case for same size bed particle material. The results of this study can be used for the fundamental material for estimating the scour depth of bed materials.

In the present work, a 3D numerical model is proposed to study local scouring around single vertical piers with different cross-section shapes under steady-current flow. The model solves the flow field and sediment transport processes using a coupled approach. The flow field is obtained by solving the Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) equations in combination with the k-ω SST turbulence closure model and the sediment transport is considered using both bedload and suspended load models. The proposed model is validated against the empirical measurements of local scour around single vertical piers with circular, square, and diamond cross-section shapes obtained from the literature. The measurement of scour depth in equilibrium condition for the simulations reveal the differences of 4.6%, 6.7% and 13.1% from the experimental measurements for the circular, square, and diamond pier cases, respectively. The model displayed a remarkable performance in the prediction of scour around circular and square piers where horseshoe vortices (HSVs) have a leading impact on scour progression. On the other hand, the maximum deviation was found in the case of the diamond pier where HSVs are weak and have minimum impact on the formation of local scour. Overall, the results confirm that the prediction capability of the present model is almost independent of the strength of the formed HSVs and pier cross-section shapes.

본 연구는 강원도 지방하천을 중심으로 수리특성 및 교각제원 등을 조사하여 기존 세굴심 산정식의 산정 값과 모형실험 산정 값을 비교 검토 하였으며, 교각의 세굴에 영향을 주는 인자에 대하여 통계학적 방법인 민감도 분석을 하였다. 분석결과, 기존 세굴심 산정식의 경우 전반 적으로 모형실험 측정 값 간의 편차가 1.09%~63.98%를 보이고 있어 강원도 하천의 경우, 기존 세굴심 산정식을 적용하여 산정하기에는 적합하지 않은 것으로 판단되었다. 그리고 모형실험에 의해 산정된 측정값을 토대로 민감도 분석을 수행하였으며, 교각크기 64%, 수심 36% 순으로 세굴심 발생에 유의적인 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 끝으로 모형실험의 세굴심 산정 값을 토대로 회귀분석을 통하여 강원도 하천에 적합한 원형교각의 세굴심 산정식을 작성하였다.

A recent work by the authors has demonstrated the feasibility of scour evaluation for Kao-Ping-Hsi Cable-Stayed Bridge simply based on ambient vibration measurements. To further attain the goal of scour monitoring, a key challenge comes from the interference of several environmental factors that may also significantly alter the pier frequencies without the change of scour depth. Consequently, this study attempts to investigate the variation in certain modal frequencies of this bridge induced by several environmental factors. Four sets of pier vibration measurements were taken either during the season of plum rains, under regular summer days without rain, or in a period of typhoon. These signals are analyzed with the stochastic subspace identification and empirical mode decomposition techniques. The variations of the identified modal frequencies are then compared with those of the corresponding traffic load, air temperature, and water level. Comparison of the analyzed results elucidates that both the traffic load and the environmental temperature are negatively correlated with the bridge frequencies. However, the traffic load is clearly a more dominant factor to alternate the identified bridge deck frequency than the environmental temperature. The pier modes are also influenced by the passing traffic on the bridge deck, even though with a weaker correlation. In addition, the variation of air temperature follows a similar tendency as that of the passing traffic, but its effect on changing the bridge frequencies is obviously not as significant. As for the effect from the alternation of water level, it is observed that the frequency baselines of the pier modes may positively correlate with the water level during the seasons of plum rains and typhoon.

In this paper, the increment of the local scour depth at piers by constructing the bridge between existing bridges is examined through the experiments in which 5 piers in the non-cohesive bed material in the experimental flume were installed. In the experiments the maximum distance of 25 times of the pier length and the maximum distortion width of 8 times of the pier width were utilized. Through the experimental studies, it was indicated that low flow, which can be characterized as the flow having low Froude numbers, the maximum bed configuration change is obtained when the piers are installed in the straight line in the flor direction without any distortion. However, In the high flow, which can be characterized as the flow having high Froude numbers, the maximum bed configuration change is obtained when the piers are installed with some distortion from the flow direction. The influence of the bed configuration by interaction between bridge piers is changed depending upon the Froude numbers, the distance between piers, and the distortion width between adjacent bridge piers. Also, because the scour patterns are affected by the bed configuration, the maximum scour should be increased by about 60% compared to that in a single pier if the interaction between bridge piers exists. It can be suggested that the maximum scour depth at bridge piers predicted by applying the existing equations should be increased if the interaction between bridge piers exist. Those cases are found when new bridges are constructed successively in the river in the urban area.
