In this paper we deal with stability problems of any complex structure that can be modeled by beam and shell finite elements. We use for illustration the steel plate girders, which are used in bridge construction, and in industrial halls or building construction. Long spans, slender cross sections exposed to heavy loads, are all critical design points engineers must take into account. Knowing the critical load that will cause lateral torsional buckling of the girder, or load that can lead to web buckling, as an important scenario to consider in a design process.Many of such problem, including lateral torsional buckling with influence of lateral supports and their spacing on critical load can be solved by the proposed method. An illustrative study of web buckling also includes effects of position and spacing of transverse and longitudinal web stiffeners, where stiffeners can be modelled optionally using shell or frame elements.

This study is to understand the characteristics of axial force behavior that operates to the part of continuous welded rail and to investigate the basic data for secure the structure's stability and retrofit of the track. To develop the FEM model that type of plate girder which is used in the domestic national railway among servicing railway type. It is to analyze the characteristics of axial force behavior according to equip of the expansion joint and support placing by using the axial force simulation in making the continuous welded rail. As the result of research on the parametric valuables through the analysis, it is investigated that 'FMFM type' is more efficient than the other support type. Also, it conclude that structures are having the expansion joint is the most safe condition.

바람에 의해 발생하는 장대교량의 진동현상은 버펫팅과 와류진동 그리고 플러터 등으로 구분할 수 있으며, 특히 설계풍속에 해당하는 강풍에 안전한 교량을 설계하는 것이 주된 관심사항이다. 이러한 장대교량의 공기역학적인 안정성 검토에 사용되는 플러터 계수를 풍동실험을 통하여 산정하였다. 본 논문에서는 일반적인 플레이트 거더교의 강풍에 대한 안정성을 검토하기 위하여 풍동실험을 수행하였으며, 자유진동 기법과 강제진동 기법을 사용하여 추출한 플러터 계수를 비교하였다. 자유진동 기법은 교량단면에 초기변위를 주어 상하 및 회전 진동을 하는 교량단면의 변위를 측정한 후 system identification 기법으로 플러터 계수를 구하게 된다. 그리고 강제진동 기법은 상하방향의 강제진동과 회전방향의 강제진동 실험을 독립적으로 수행하여 교량단면에 작용하는 풍하중과 단면의 진동을 분석함으로써 플러터 계수를 추정하게 된다. 그리고 플러터 계수의 비교를 통하여 강제진동 기법과 자유진동 기법의 장단점을 분석하였다.

A dynamic characteristics of existing steel plate girder railway bridges without ballast were investigated from the finite element analysis. Span lengths, types of vehicle and running speeds are selected as parameters for analyses. For more exact analysis, it was adopted that 3-dimensional bridge models and wheel loads were produced by averaging field measured wheel loads of running vehicles at various speeds. Dynamic vertical deflections, dynamic amplification factors and vertical accelerations of bridges having 9m, 12m and 18m span length were investigated and compared with the limit values specified in Korean railway bridge specification.

The objective of this paper is to assess the variability of modal properties caused by temperature effects and to adjust modal data used for frequency-based damage detection in plate-girder bridges. First, experiments on model plate-girder bridges are described. Next, the relationship between temperature and natural frequencies is assessed and a set of empirical frequency-correction formula are analyzed for the test structure. Finally, a frequency-based method is used to locate and estimate severity of damage in the test structure using experimental modal data which are adjusted by the frequency-correction formula. Here, local damage in beam-type structures is detected by using measured frequencies and analytical mode shapes.

A methodology to assess damage prediction accuracy as a function of model uncertainty in structures is presented. In the first part, a theory of approach is outlined. First, a damage detection algorithm to locate and size damage in structures using few modal responses of the structures is summarized. Next, methods to quantify model uncertainty and the damage detection accuracy are formulated. In the second part, a methodology to assess the effect of model uncertainty on the damage detection accuracy of real structures is designed. In the last part, the feasibility of the assessment methodology is demonstrated by using a plate-girder bridge for which only information on a single mode is available.

Hihg Tensile Steel enables to reduce the plate thickness comparing to the case when Mild Steel is used. From the economical view points this is very preferable since the reduction in the hull weight. however to use the High Tensile Steel effectively the plate thickness may become thin so that the occurrence of buckling is inevitable and design allowing plate buckling may be necessary. If the inplane stiffness of the plating decreases due to buckling the flexural rigidity of the cross sect6ion of a ship's hull also decreases. This may lead to excessive deflection of the hull girder under longitudinal bending. In these cases a precise estimation of plate's behavior after buckling is necessary and nonliner analysis of isolated and stiffened plates is required for structural sys-tem analysis. In this connection this paper discusses nonlinear behaviour of thin plate under thrust. Based on the analytical method elastic large deflection analysis of isolated plate is perform and simple expression are derived to evaluated the inplane rigidity of plates subjected to uniaxial compression.

Section model wind tunnel test is currently the main technique to investigate the flutter performance of long-span bridges. Further study about applying the wind tunnel test results to the aerodynamic optimization is still needed. Systematical parameters and test principle of the bridge section model are determined by using three long-span steel truss suspension bridges. The flutter critical wind at different attack angles is obtained through section model flutter test. Under the most unfavorable working condition, tests to investigate the effects that upper central stabilized plate, lower central stabilized plate and horizontal stabilized plate have on the flutter performance of the main beam were conducted. According to the test results, the optimal aerodynamic measure was chosen to meet the requirements of the bridge wind resistance in consideration of safety, economy and aesthetics. At last the credibility of the results is confirmed by full bridge aerodynamic elastic model test. That the flutter reduced wind speed of long-span steel truss suspension bridges stays approximately between 4 to 5 is concluded as a reference for the investigation of the flutter performance of future similar steel truss girder suspension bridges.
