Bridge load rating calculations provide a basis for determining the load carrying capacity of bridges. Load rating requires engineering judgement in determining a rating value that is applicable to maintaining the safe use of the bridge and arriving at posting and permit decisions. Load testing is an effective means in calculating the rating value of bridge. In Korea, load carrying capacity of bridge is modified by response modification factor that is determined from comparisons of measured values and analysis results. This paper presents the development of a method for determining the response the modification factor, using traffic loads. The proposed method is based on the results of computer simulations of traffic action effects. The simulation program generates random traffic actions for defined traffic conditions and determines the frequency distribution of maximum traffic action effects. A comparison between the proposed method and the present method shows good agreement in estimating the modified load carrying capacity of bridges.

Using the nonlinear static procedures has become very common in seismic codes to achieve the nonlinear response of the structure during an earthquake. The capacity spectrum method (CSM) adopted in ATC-40 is considered as one of the most known and useful procedures. For this procedure the seismic demand can be approximated from the maximum deformation of an equivalent linear elastic Single-Degree-of-Freedom system (SDOF) that has an equivalent damping ratio and period by using an iterative procedure. Data from the results of this procedure are plotted in acceleration- displacement response spectrum (ADRS) format. Different improvements have been made in order to have more accurate results compared to the Non Linear Time History Analysis (NL-THA). A new procedure is presented in this paper where the iteration process shall not be required. This will be done by estimation the ductility demand response spectrum (DDRS) and the corresponding effective damping of the bilinear system based on a new parameter of control, called normalized yield strength coefficient (η), while retaining the attraction of graphical implementation of the improved procedure of the FEMA-440. The proposed procedure accuracy should be verified with the NL-THA analysis results as a first implementation. The comparison shows that the new procedure provided a good estimation of the nonlinear response of the structure compared with those obtained when using the NL-THA analysis.

A performance-based seismic design method for reinforced concrete building structures being developed in Japan is outlined. Technical and scientific background of the performance-based design philosophy as well as recently developed seismic design guidelines are is presented, in which maximum displacement response to design earthquake motion is used as the limit-state design criteria. A method of estimating dynamic response displacement of the structures based on static nonlinear analysis is described. A theoretical estimation of nonlinear dynamic response considering the characteristics of energy input to the system is described in detail, which may be used as the standard method in the new performance-based code. A desing philosophy not only satisfying the criteria but also evaluating seismic capacity of the structures is also introduced.

이전 연구에서 기존의 재하실험을 통한 교량의 공용 중 내하력 평가방법을 개선하기 위하여 충격계수 응답스펙트럼과 그에 따른 내하성능 변화 추정 방법이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 방법의 적용성을 검증하기 위하여 공용 중인 단순지지 단경간 교량에 대한 현장 동적특성 평가 실험을 수행하였다. 실험을 통해 상시 교통하중 상태에서 무선 가속도계를 이용하여 교량의 고유진동수 도출이 가능한 수준의 동특성 응답을 획득할 수 있었다. 대상 교량의 가속도 데이터로부터 동적거동은 1차 모드에 지배되며 준공 당시에 비해 공용 기간의 증가로 인해 고유진동수가 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 충격계수 응답스펙트럼으로부터 대상 교량의 발생 가능한 최대 충격계수를 추정하였다. 도출된 이전 및 현재의 고유진동수와 충격계수를 바탕으로 성능감소계수를 적용한 내하력 평가방법을 이용하여 성능변화를 추정하였다. 이전에 비해 공용내하력이 감소하였으나 설계 활하중을 상회하여 내하성능에는 문제가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 상시 교통하중 하에서의 가속도 계측 데이터와 충격계수 응답스펙트럼을 이용하는 제안된 내하성능 변화 추정 방법은 실제 교량에 적용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 국내 외적으로 해양오염사고 예방에 관한 관심과 중요성이 날로 증대되는 가운데, 지방정부 중심의 해안방제체계를 구축하기 위한 정책방향 설계에 그 목적이 있다. 따라서 지방정부의 해안방제능력을 진단하고 해안방제 실행력 강화를 위해 필요한 중앙정부의 정책적 지원방안이 무엇인지를 밝혀보고자 하였다. 이러한 연구목적을 달성하기 위하여 국내외에서 일어났던 대규모 해양오염사고 사례분석을 통해 지방정부가 해안방제를 어떻게 수행했는지를 분석하고, 해안방제에 관한 지방정부의 문제점을 찾아내어, 향후 발생가능한 대형 해양오염사고의 해안방제 대비에 필요한 사항을 중심으로 단계별 대응체제 구축, 교육훈련 강화, 인적 네트워크 활성화, 방제자원 확보근거 마련, 전담부서 신설 등 지방정부의 해안방제능력 개선방안을 제시하였다. 그러나 아직까지 지방정부의 해안방제관리능력에 관한 연구가 일천한 상황에서 본 연구는 시험적 연구라고 판단되며, 따라서 본 연구의 결과는 시험적 연구로서 다음의 후속 연구에 큰 도움이 되었으면 한다.

일반적으로 교량의 하중저항능력인 내하력은 교량의 거동에 큰 영향을 줄 수 있는 심각한 손상, 결함, 재료적인 열화현상이 존재하지 않는다면 이론적인 방법으로 평가한 내하력보다 여유가 있다. 그러나 현재 내하력을 구하기위한 재하실험 및 구조해석 과정에서 이미 오차가 포함되어 있어 응답보정계수의 신뢰성이 떨어지고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 센서의 센싱 문제와 구조해석 모델의 적정성에 오차를 해결하기 위하여 센서부에서 기존의 전기저항식 변형률, 변위 센서의 문제점을 도출하여 성능이 우수한 스마트 센서인 광섬유 스마트 센서로의 변화를 추진하고자 한다. 또한, 다양한 구조해석 모델 해석을 통하여 최적의 적정 모델을 선정함으로서 응답보정계수의 정확성을 향상시키고자 하였다.

This paper is related to structural design evaluation of 19,000 TEU ultra large container ship, dealing with hydroelastic response, i.e. springing and whipping. It illustrates application of direct calculation tools and methodologies to both fatigue and ultimate strength assessment, simultaneously taking into account ship motions and her elastic deformations. Methodology for springing and whipping assessment within so called WhiSp notation is elaborated in details, and in order to evaluate innovative container ship design with increased loading capacity, a series of independent hydroelastic computations for container ship with mobile deckhouse and conventional one are performed with the same calculation setup. Fully coupled 3D FEM - 3D BEM model is applied, while the ultimate bending capacity of hull girder is determined by means of MARS software. Beside comparative analysis of representative quantities for considered ships, relative influence of hydroelasticity on ship response is addressed.

Recently, the concept of damped outrigger system has been proposed for tall buildings. But, structural characteristics and design method of this system were not sufficiently investigated to date. In this study, the dynamic response control performance of outrigger damper has been analyzed. To this end, a simplified analysis model with outrigger damper system has been developed. Use the El Centro seismic(1940, NS) analysis was performed. Analysis results, on the top floor displacement response to the earthquake response, did not have a big effect. However, acceleration response control effect was found to be excellent. The increase of outrigger damper capacity usually results in the improved control performance. However, it is necessary to select that proper stiffness and damping values of the outrigger damper system because, the outrigger damper having large capacity is result in heavy financial burden.

A simplified yet effective design procedure for viscous dampers was presented based on improved capacity spectrum method in the context of performance-based seismic design. The amount of added viscous damping required to meet a given performance objective was evaluated from the difference between the total demand for effective damping and inherent damping plus equivalent damping resulting from hysteretic deformation of system. Application of the method is illustrated by means of two examples, using Chinese design response spectrum and mean response spectrum. Nonlinear dynamic analysis results indicate that the maximum displacements of structures installed with supplemental dampers designed in accordance with the proposed method agree well with the given target displacements. The advantage of the presented procedure over the conventional iterative design method is also highlighted.

The purpose of this paper is to apply the numerical solution procedure to compute conduction time series factors (CTSF) for construction materials with large thermal capacities. After modifying the procedure in Ref. [9], it is applied to find the CTSF for the wall type 19 and the roof type 18 of ASHRAE. The response periods for one hr pulse load are longer than 24hrs for these wall and roof. The CTSF generated using modified procedure agree well with the values presented in the ASHRAE handbook. The modified procedure is a general procedure that can be applied to find CTSF for materials with complex structures. For the large thermal capacity materials, it should be checked whether thermal response period of the material is over 24hr or not. With suggested solution procedure, it is easy to check the validity of the CTSF based on 24hr period.
