Short reinforced concrete bridge piers are particularly susceptible to shear failure as a consequence of the high shear/moment ratio and conservatism in the flexural strength design of existing RC bridge pier, which were constructed before 1992. In addition, shear failure is brittle and involves rapid strength degradation. Inelastic shear deformation is thus unsuitable for ductile seismic response. It is, however, believed that there are not many experimental research works for shear failure of the existing RC bridge pier in Korean peninsula subjected to earthquake motions. The object of this research is to evaluate the seismic performance of existing circular RC bridge piers by the quasi-static test. Existing RC bridge piers were moderate seismically designed in accordance with the conventional provisions of Korea Highway Design Specification. This study has been performed to verify the effect of aspect ratio (column height-diameter ratio). Quasi-static test has been done to investigate the physical seismic performance of RC bridge piers, such as lateral force-displacement hysteric curve, envelope curve etc.

Structure behaviors resulting from an earthquake are experimentally simulated mainly through a shaking table test. As for large-scale structures, however, size effects over a miniature may make it difficult to assess actual behaviors properly. To address this problem, research on the hybrid simulation is being conducted actively. This method is to implement numerical analysis on framework members that affect the general behavior of the structure dominantly through an actual scale experiment and on the rest parts by applying the substructuring technique. However, existing studies on hybrid simulation focus mainly on Slow experimental methods, which are disadvantageous in that it is unable to assess behaviors close to the actual level if material properties change depending on the speed or the influence of inertial force is significant. The present study aims to establish a Real-time hybrid simulation system capable of excitation based on the actual time history and to verify its performance and applicability. The hybrid simulation system built up in this study utilizes the ATS Compensator system, CR integrator, etc. in order to make the target displacement the same with the measured displacement on the basis of MATLAB/Simulink. The target structure was a 2-span bridge and an RC pier to support it was produced as an experimental model in order for the shaking table test and Slow and Real-time hybrid simulations. Behaviors that result from the earthquake of El Centro were examined, and the results were analyzed comparatively. In comparison with the results of the shaking table test, the Real-time hybrid simulation produced more similar maximum displacement and vibration behaviors than the Slow hybrid simulation. Hence, it is thought that the Real-time hybrid simulation proposed in this study can be utilized usefully in seismic capacity assessment of structural systems such as RC pier that are highly non-linear and time-dependent.

The characteristics on non linear behavior and the failure mechanism of RC space frame structure serving railway under seismic action have been investigated by numerical analysis in time domain. The structure concerned is modeled in 3 dimensional extent and RC frame elements with fibers are employed. Fibers are characterized as RC one and PL one to distinguish different energy release after cracking. Due to deviation of mass center and stiffness center of entire structure the complex behavior under seismic action is shown. The excessive shear force is concentrated on the pier beside flexible one relatively, which leads to failure of bridge concerned.

본 연구에서는 합리적인 내진설계기준의 정립을 위하여 철근콘크리트 교각의 내진성능에 영향을 미치는 주요 인자에 대하여 분석하였다. 기존 연구 결과에 따르면 한반도와 같은 중약진 지역에서의 철근콘크리트 교각의 심부구속철근비가 과다하게 사용되어 왔다는 결론을 내렸다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 기존의 실험 결과들을 분석하여 합리적인 심부구속철근비를 제안하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 심부구속철근비는 축하중비와 주철근비를 고려하였으며 낮은 축하중비에서 주철근 좌굴 방지를 위한 최소 규정을 도입하였다. 제안된 식은 일반적인 도로교상의 축하중비를 고려하면 기존 내진규정에 비해 매우 완화된 심부구속철근비를 갖게 된다. 따라서 문제로 나타나고 있는 시공성과 경제성이 상당히 향상될 수 있으리라 판단된다.

현재 우리나라에서 제작되고 있는 교량의 대부분은 RC 교각으로 이루어져 있다. 이러한 RC 교각은 현장 타설을 사용하고 있으며, 이에 따라서 작업환경과 계절에 따른 시공성의 결여와 품질의 저하, 길어진 공사기간에 따른 공사비에 대한 부담이 발생한다. 전체 교량에 대한 교각의 중요성을 인식하여 최근 들어 효율적이고 경제적인 건설방법을 개발하는 것에 맞춰지고 있다. 지난 몇 년간 우리나라를 비롯하여 몇몇 국가에서는 교량을 위해 조립식 프리캐스트 세그먼트 콘크리트 교량의 요소와 시스템의 조사, 개발 그리고 응용에 대한 관심이 증가되었다. 종래의 현장 타설 콘크리트 교량은 오랜 기간의 교통 혼잡을 발생시켜, 대도시 지역의 교량 건설은 바쁜 도시민들의 분열을 초래할 수가 있는데, 조립식 프리캐스트 세그먼트 콘크리트 교량은 그 문제에 대한 실용적인 해결방안이 될 수 있다. 우리나라의 경우 최근 들어 교각의 내진설계에 대한 내진상세 규정을 마련하기 위해서 노력해 왔다. 하지만 대부분의 내진설계와 관련된 내용은 RC 교각에 대한 내용이었으며, 조립식 프리캐스트 세그먼트 교각에 대한 내진상세 및 설계 지침에 대한 내용은 전무후무한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 RC교각 1기, 프리스트레스트 교각 1기, 전단연결재가 없는 조립식 프리캐스트 세그먼트 교각 1기, 그리고 전단연결재가 있으며 PS강재의 긴장력의 변화를 둔 조립식 세그먼트 교각 3기에 대한 실험을 통해서 각각의 교각의 구조 특성을 파악하고자 한다.

This paper presents a numerical study on structural behavior of hammer head pier cap beams, extended on verges and reinforced with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates. A 3-D finite element (FE) model along with a simplified analytical model are presented. Concrete damage plasticity (CDP) was adapted in the FE model and an analytical approach predicting the CFRP anchor strength was adapted in both FE and analytical model. Total five quarter-scaled pier cap beams with various CFRP reinforcing schemes were experimentally tested and analyzed with numerical approaches. Comparison between experimental results, FE results, analytical results and current ACI guideline predictions was presented. The FE results showed good agreement with experimental results in terms of failure mode, ultimate capacity, load-displacement response and strain distribution. In addition, the proposed strut-and-tie based analytical model provides the most accurate prediction of ultimate strength of extended cap beams among the three numerical approaches.

A comprehensive experimental program of cyclic tests on 1:3-scale models of bridge piers is going to be carried out at the Laboratory of Structures and Materials of the University of Basilicata. The testing models include eight RC single shaft piers with hollow circular cross section. Four piers have been realised using corroded steel rebars. In this paper, the results of preliminary numerical simulation analyses of the cyclic behaviour of the piers, carried out with Opensees using fiber-based models, are presented. Pull-out and lap-splice effects of steel rebars have been taken into account in the numerical analyses. First, the experimental specimens and the test set up are presented. Next, the results of the numerical analyses are discussed. In the numerical analyses, different configurations and levels of corrosion have been considered. The effective stiffness and equivalent damping of the piers is reported as a function of pier ductility and pier drift.

Recently, there are much concerns about new and innovative transverse materials which could be used instead of conventional transverse steel in reinforced concrete bridge piers. FRP materials could be substituted for conventional transverse steel because of their sufficient strength, light weight, easy fabrication, and useful applicability to any shapes of pier sections, such as rectangular or circular sections. The objective of this research is to evaluate the seismic performance of reinforced concrete bridge pier specimens with FRP transverse reinforcement by means of the Quasi-Static test. In the first task, test columns were made using FRP rope, but these specimens appeared to fail at low displacement ductility levels due to insufficient confinement of strand extension itself. Therefore, the second task was to evaluate the seismic performance of test specimens transversely confined with FRP band. Although FRP banded specimens showed lower seismic performance than the specimen with spiral reinforcing steel, it satisfied with the response modification factor, 3, required for the single column of Korea bridge roadway design code. It was concluded that FRP band could be efficiently substituted for conventional reinforcing steel.

Effects of translational and rotational motions of the foundation on the dynamic behaviors of a bridge under seismic excitations are examined by utilizing a simplified 3 degree-of-freedom of system. To consider the nonlinear characteristics of the RC pier, a hysteresis model is adapted, which can simulate the inelastic motion of the pier with the stiffness degradation. From results, the portion of the total displacement due to rotational motion of the foundation becomes larger as applied seismic excitation increases.
