Cables are critical components of cable-stayed bridges. A structural health monitoring system provides real-time cable tension recording for cable health monitoring. However, the measurement data involve multiple sources of variability, i.e., varying environmental and operational factors, which increase the complexity of cable condition monitoring. In this study, a one-class classification method is developed for cable condition assessment using Bayesian factor analysis (FA). The single-peaked vehicle-induced cable tension is assumed to be relevant to vehicle positions and weights. The Bayesian FA is adopted to establish the correlation model between cable tensions and vehicles. Vehicle weights are assumed to be latent variables and the influences of different transverse positions are quantified by coefficient parameters. The Bayesian theorem is employed to estimate the parameters and variables automatically, and the damage index is defined on the basis of the well-trained model. The proposed method is applied to one cable-stayed bridge for cable damage detection. Significant deviations of the damage indices of Cable SJS11 were observed, indicating a damaged condition in 2011. This study develops a novel method to evaluate the health condition of individual cable using the FA in the Bayesian framework. Only vehicle-induced cable tensions are used and there is no need to monitor the vehicles. The entire process, including the data pre-processing, model training and damage index calculation of one cable, takes only 35 s, which is highly efficient.

프리스트레스드 콘크리트(Prestressed Concrete, PSC) 거더는 프리텐션과 포스트텐션 긴장 방식으로 구분되고, 단면 형상에서는 I형과 U형으로 구분된다. 각 긴장 방식과 단면 형상에 따른 장단점이 있고, 각각의 방식으로 교량 건설 현장에 적용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 프리텐션 긴장 방식과 U형 단면의 단점을 극복하여 적용한 새로운 거더 형식을 제안하고 구조 성능을 검증하고자 하였다. 프리텐션 긴장 방식의 거더는 반력대가 필요한 관계로 주로 공장에서 제작되며, 이동을 위하여 무게와 경간장이 제한되는 단점이 있다. 또한 U형 단면의 경우 전도 등 시공 시 구조 안정성이 높으나, 자중이 I형에 비해 상대적으로 커서 현장 제작 후 포스트텐션 긴장 방식이 주로 적용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 현장 프리텐션 긴장 방식을 적용한 PSC 거더 제작 방식 제시하고 40 m급 실대형 실험체를 제작하여 구조 성능을 검증하였다.

근접병설터널에서 필라의 안정성을 평가할 때, 필라 폭이 최소가 되는 지점에서의 국부안전율(강도/응력비)을 조사하는 방법이 널리 사용된다. FEM 응력해석결과를 바탕으로 국부안전율이 1.0 이하인 경우는 필라의 안정성이 확보되지 못 하는 것으로 판단하고 인장볼트 등의 보강공법을 적용하고 있다. 그러나 국부안전율은 필라폭/터널반경(PW/D)의 변화와 무관하게 일정한 값을 보이고 있으며 인장볼트의 프리스트레싱 도입 시에도 축차응력의 변화가 크지 않아 상대적으로 필라의 안전율을 과소평가 할 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 아울러 Hoek and Brown(1980)이 제안한 평균안전율을 검토하였으나 상대적으로 필라폭의 크기가 커질 경우 필라의 안전율을 과대평가하는 현상을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이에 대한 대안으로 강도 감소법을 이용한 SRM 안전율을 도입하여 필라의 안정성을 평가한 결과 필라폭/터널반경 변화에 따른 무보강 및 인장볼트 보강효과가 잘 반영됨을 알 수 있었으며 파괴형상 또한 기존 극한 이론의 검토결과와 유사함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 인장볼트의 보강효과를 구별하기 위해 록볼트 및 숏크리트를 고려하지 않고 안전율을 평가하였다.

록볼트는 지하공동 굴착시 암반의 과도한 이완을 초기에 방지할 수 있는 가장 중요한 터널 지보재 중 하나이다. 국내외에서 록볼트의 설치에 따른 침하저감 및 보강효과, 다양한 록볼트 형태에 따른 터널 안정성 증대효과 등 록볼트 지보효과에 대한 많은 연구는 있으나, 록볼트에 긴장력을 가함으로써 절리암반의 지반보강 효과에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 수평절리암반을 모사한 모형지반에서 록볼트의 긴장력 및 설치간격을 변수로 하여 대형모형실험을 실시하여, 록볼트에 의한 지반 보강효과를 확인하였다. 록볼트의 긴장력에 의한 절리암반 보강효과를 확인하기 위하여 단순보를 조성하여 긴장력과 설치간격을 변수로 하였다. 굴착에 따른 모형지반 중앙하부 처짐량을 측정하여 록볼트로 보강된 보강영역의 지반변형계수를 도출하였다.

Main cable configurations under final dead load and in the unloaded state and critical construction parameters (e.g. unstrained cable length, unstrained hanger lengths, and pre-offsets for tower saddles and splay saddles) are the core considerations in the design and construction control of a suspension bridge. For the purpose of accurate calculations, it is necessary to take into account the effects of cable strands over the anchor spans, arc-shaped saddle top, and tower top pre-uplift. In this paper, a method for calculating the cable configuration under final dead load over a main span, two side spans, and two anchor spans, coordinates of tangent points, and unstrained cable length are firstly developed using conditions for mechanical equilibrium and geometric relationships. Hanger tensile forces and unstrained hanger lengths are calculated by iteratively solving the equations governing hanger tensile forces and the cable configuration, which gives careful consideration to the effect of hanger weight. Next, equations for calculating the cable configuration in the unloaded state and pre-offsets of saddles are derived from the cable configuration under final dead load and the conditions for unstrained cable length to be conserved. The equations for the main span, two side spans and two anchor spans are then solved simultaneously. In the proposed methods, coupled nonlinear equations are solved by turning them into an unconstrained optimization problem, making the procedure simplified. The feasibility and validity of the proposed methods are demonstrated through a numerical example.

This paper conducts a parametric study of a new tuned mass damper with pre-strained superelastic SMA helical springs (SMAS-TMD) on the vibration reduction effect. First, a force-displacement relation model of superelastic SMA helical spring is presented based on the multilinear constitutive model of SMA material, and the tension tests of the six SMA springs fabricated are implemented to validate the mechanical model. Then, a dynamic model of a single floor steel frame with the SMAS-TMD damper is set up to simulate the seismic responses of the frame, which are testified by the shaking table tests. The wire diameter, initial coil diameter, number of coils and pre-strain length of SMA springs are extracted to investigate their influences on the seismic response reduction of the frame. The numerical and experimental results show that, under different earthquakes, when the wire diameter, initial coil diameter and number of coils are set to the appropriate values so that the initial elastic stiffness of the SMA spring is between 0.37 and 0.58 times of classic TMD stiffness, the maximum reduction ratios of the proposed damper can reach 40% as the mass ratio is 2.34%. Meanwhile, when the pre-strain length of SMA spring is in a suitable range, the SMAS-TMD damper can also achieve very good vibration reduction performance. The vibration reduction performance of the SMAS-TMD damper is generally equal to or better than that of the classic optimal TMD, and the proposed damper effectively suppresses the detuning phenomena that often occurs in the classic TMD.

본 논문에서는 쏘일네일링 공법, 앵커 공법, 또한 이 두공법의 장점을 결합한 하이브리드 공법의 하중전이 메커니즘에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 하이브리드 공법은 철근과 PC강연선을 보강재로 하며, 프리스트레스를 가함으로써 능동적인 주면마찰력 양상을 유도하고자 한다. 본 논문에서는 주면마찰력 산정 이론과 하중전이 이론을 바탕으로 각 공법의 하중전이 메커니즘을 파악하였다. 또한 현장인발시험을 실시하여 측정된 계측결과의 분석 및 하중전이 이론과의 비교 검토를 통해서 하이브리드 공법의 하중전이 메커니즘을 규명하였다. 쏘일네일링 공법은 인발거동 시 전면에서부터 선단으로 인장력이 전이되는 양상을 보이는 반면, 앵커 공법은 내하체가 위치한 선단에서 프리스트레스를 가함에 따라 선단에서 전면으로 압축력이 전이된다. 이 두 공법을 결합시킨 하이브리드 공법은 프리스트레스를 가할 때에는 앵커공법과 같이 선단에서 압축력이 발생하지만 동시인발 시에는 선단에서는 압축력이 전면에서는 인장력이 발생하게 된다. 따라서 하이브리드 공법의 하중전이 메커니즘은 쏘일네일링의 거동과 앵커의 거동이 모두 나타난다.

Remotely Operated Vehicle of 6000-meters is a new conceptual equipment made to replace the manned systems for investigating the deep-sea environment, and all of the ROV systems in operational condition strongly depend on the connecting cables. In this point of view dynamics of the ROV cable system is very important for operational and safety aspects as a cable generally encounters great tension. Researches have been executed on this problem, and most of papers have been mainly focused on the operational condition of ROV system in deep sea. This paper presents the dynamic cable response analysis during ROV launching condition rather than the operational one in order to provide the design guide of a ROV cable system in this circumstance, considering the coupling effects between cable and wave-induced ship motion. To obtain the variations of cable tensions during a ROV launching, a pre-stressed harmonic response analysis was carried out. Wave-induced tensions of the cable during ROV launching were obtained in real sea states using FE modeling, and the basic design guide of a ROV cable system was obtained.

As deep decks are commonly used in construction fields and high-rise building. etc, the slim floor system is increasingly employed. But, the drawback of the slim floor system is that the use of 250 mm deep decks in a structure having a clear span of more than 6 m because of deflection and flexural buckling. This study suggests a non-support construction method where tendons are installed in the deep decks of the slim floor structure to introduce preload in order to control deflection in a structure having a clear span of 9 m. Loading tests were conducted to verify the composite effect and flexural capacity of the preloaded deep deck composite slab and evaluate the serviceability of the supportless construction method. The results showed the complete composite behavior of the preloaded deep deck composite slab with tendons. The specimens satisfied deflection limit and the working load was approximately 25% of the maximum load capacity. It is deemed that the cross-sectional area and yield strength of the deck plate should be taken into account in slab design and the yield strength and diameter of the tendon should be determined with the pre-tension taken into consideration.

An inviscid axisymmetric model capable of predicting droplet bouncing and the detailed pre-impact motion, influenced by the ambient pressure, has been developed using boundary element method (BEM). Because most droplet impact simulations of previous studies assumed that a droplet was already in contact with the impacting substrate at the simulation start, the previous simulations could not accurately describe the effect of the gas compressed between a failing droplet and the impacting substrate. To properly account for the surrounding gas effect, an effect is made to release a droplet from a certain height. High gas pressures are computationally observed in the region between the droplet and the impact surface at instances just prior to impact. The current simulation shows that the droplet retains its spherical shape when the surface tension energy is dominant over the dissipative energy. When increasing the Weber number, the droplet surface structure is highly deformed due to the appearance of the capillary waves and, consequently, a pyramidal surface structure is formed; this phenomenon was verified with our experiment. Parametric studies using our model include the pre-impact behavior which varies as a function of the Weber number and the surrounding gas pressure.
