In this study, the structural performance of a seven span masonry arch bridge was evaluated. Investigations were performed on Aspendos (Belkis) Masonry Arch Bridge which was located on road of Aspendos Acropolis City in Antalya, Turkey. The old bridge was constructed in the early of fourth century AD, but it was exposed to the earthquakes in this region and the overloading by the river water. The old bridge was severely damaged and collapsed by probably an earthquake many years ago and a new bridge was then reconstructed on the remains of this old bridge by Seljuk in the 13th century. The bridge has also been affected from overflowing especially in the spring of each year, so some protective measures should be taken for this monumental bridge. Therefore, the structural performance under these loading has to be known. For this purpose, an initial finite element model was developed for the bridge and it was calibrated according to ambient vibration test results. After that, it was analyzed for different load cases such as dead, live, earthquake and overflow. Three load combinations were taken into account by deriving from these load cases. The displacements and the stresses for these combination cases were attained and compared with each other. The structural performance of Aspendos Masonry Arch Bridge was determined by considering the demand-capacity ratio for the tensile stress of the mortar used in Aspendos Masonry Arch Bridge. After these investigations, some concluding remarks and offers were presented at the end of this study.

The existence of a dam has potential effects on the surrounding wind environment especially when it is located in mountainous areas. In this situation, the long-span bridge over the reservoir can easily be exposed to non-uniform incoming flows, affecting its wind-resistance performance. This paper presents a study on the aerostatic stability of such a bridge. Wind tunnel tests were first carried out to investigate the wind environment above a mountainous reservoir. The results show that the angle of attack and the wind speed along the bridge axis show obvious non-uniform characteristics, which is related to the inflow direction. When winds come from the south where the river is winding, the angle of attack varies along the span direction significantly. The finite element model for the bridge was established using ANSYS software, and effects of non-uniform wind loads on the aerostatic stability were computed. Non-uniform angle of attack and wind speed are unfavorable to the aerostatic stability of the bridge, especially the former. When the combined action of non-uniform angle of attack and wind speed is considered, the critical wind speed of aerostatic instability is further reduced. Moreover, the aerostatic stability of the bridge is closely related to the dam height.

The dynamic performance of railway bridges under high-speed trains draws the attention of bridge engineers. The vibration issue for long-span bridges under high-speed trains is still not well understood due to lack of validations through structural health monitoring (SHM) data. This paper investigates the correlation between bridge acceleration and train speed based on structural dynamics theory and SHM system from three foci. Firstly, the calculated formula of acceleration response under a series of moving load is deduced for the situation that train length is near the length of the bridge span, the correlation between train speed and acceleration amplitude is analyzed. Secondly, the correlation scatterplots of the speed-acceleration is presented and discussed based on the transverse and vertical acceleration response data of Dashengguan Yangtze River Bridge SHM system. Thirdly, the warning indexes of the bridge performance for correlation scatterplots of speed-acceleration are established. The main conclusions are: (1) The resonance between trains and the bridge is unlikely to happen for long-span bridge, but a multimodal correlation curve between train speed and acceleration amplitude exists after the resonance speed; (2) Based on SHM data, multimodal correlation scatterplots of speed-acceleration exist and they have similar trends with the calculated formula; (3) An envelope line of polylines can be used as early warning indicators of the changes of bridge performance due to the changes of slope of envelope line and peak speed of amplitude. This work also gives several suggestions which lay a foundation for the better design, maintenance and long-term monitoring of a long-span high-speed bridge.

본 연구는 천연기념물로 지정하여 보호하고 있는 큰고니의 국내 최대 월동지인 낙동강하구일대 중 낙동강하류부를 대상으로 교량구간별 큰고니 월동개체의 서식처 선호도 차이를 살펴보고자 진행하였다. 2018~2019년 월동기 동안 6개 시계열로 구분하여 조사를 진행하여 분석한 결과 낙동강하류에서 최대 500여 마리의 큰고니가 월동하고 있었다. 하천을 가로지르는 교량을 기준으로 총 7개 구간을 설정하여 조사한 결과 큰고니는 교량과 교량사이가 2km 이내로 협소한 5개 구간에서는 거의 관찰되지 않았고 4km이상의 2개 구간에서만 안정적 개체군이 관찰되었다. 이러한 특징은 인위적 간섭이 상대적으로 적어 큰고니의 주 서식지가 되고 있는 낙동강 하구로부터의 거리와는 관련이 없었다. 멸종위기종인 큰고니 월동에 있어 안정적 경계공간 확보는 중요한 요소로 판단되었다. 이에 멸종위기종인 큰고니 서식을 위해서는 교량과 교량 사이가 최소 4km 이상 이격되어야만 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 향후 교량건설과 같은 하천생태계의 단절로 직결되는 개발 또는 복원에 있어 하나의 참고가 될 것이다.

낙동강 중류의 수질과 그 수계에 서식하는 어류와 납, 카드뮴 및 아연과의 관계를 붕어를 대상으로 관찰하였다. 본 실험을 위한 표본은 비교적 갈수기라고 인정되는 3월 초순에 안동댐, 낙동교, 왜관, 강정, 개포 인근 그리고 낙동강의 주 오염원이 되는 금호강에서는 팔달교 부근에서 채취하였으며 수중 중금속 및 조직 중 납, 카드뮴과 아연은 원자흡광분광광도계(IL-551)로 분석하였다. 낙동강의 상류에서 하류로 내려올수록 납, 카드뮴, 아연 함량은 증가하였고, 팔달교 부근은 강정 상류보다 $3{\sim}5$배 더 높았으며 이는 낙동강과의 하류지점에서 약 40km 하류에 위치한 개포의 수질보다 약 1.5배 정도 높게 나타났다. 붕어의 뼈, 근육, 지느러미 중의 납, 카드뮴 함량도 상류에서 포획한 것보다 하류에서 포획한 것이 많았다. 강정을 포함한 상류보다 오염수역이라고 할 수 있는 개포 및 팔달교 근처의 붕어에서 유의성 있게 높았다. 붕어의 뼈조직 중 납, 카드뮴, 아연의 함량은 조사 전역에 걸친 그들 수환경보다 각각 $771{\sim}2,856$배, $188{\sim}564$배, $663{\sim}1,327$배이었으며 근육에서는 각각 $170{\sim}516$배, $62{\sim}169$배, $247{\sim}389$배이고 지느러미에서는 각각 $484{\sim}1,770$배, $122{\sim}360$배, $509{\sim}983$배 이었다. 이들 붕어의 성장 햇수별 납, 카드뮴 및 아연 함량은 연령이 증가할수록 증가했으며 각 수역에서의 동일 연령군까지 비교했을때는 상류에서 하류로 내려갈수록 그 함량이 많았다. 팔달교에서의 $0{\sim}1$세군에서의 뼈 중 납의 함량은 개포의 $4{\sim}5$세군과 근사하며 강정 상류의 $3{\sim}4$세군보다 높은 경향을 보였다. 이상과 같은 결과를 요약하면 낙동강은 금호강의 탁류의 영향을 크게 받아 오염 수역에서 포획한 어군은 비오염수역의 어군보다 중금속 함량이 유의하게 높으며 성장 햇수가 많아짐에 따라 중금속 함량은 높다는 것을 알 수있다.

The cable system is generally considered to be a structural solution to increase the spanning capacity of suspension bridges. In this work, based on the Runyang Bridge over the Yangtze River, three case suspension bridges with different 3D cable systems are designed, structural dynamic characteristics, the aerostatic and aerodynamic stability are investigated numerically by 3D nonlinear aerostatic and aerodynamic analysis, and the cable system favorable to improve the wind-induced instability of long-span suspension bridges is also proposed. The results show that as compared to the example bridge with parallel cable system, the suspension bridge with inward-inclined cable system has greater lateral bending and tensional frequencies, and also better aerodynamic stability; as for the suspension bridge with outward-inclined cable system, it has less lateral bending and tensional frequencies, and but better aerostatic stability; however the suspension bridge is more prone to aerodynamic instability, and therefore considering the whole wind-induced instability, the parallel and inward-inclined cable systems are both favorable for long-span suspension bridges.

In order to provide the basic information for the water quality modeling, the water pollution indicators of Sin stream and Keumho river flowing through Taegu city were measured, and the Periodical variations of these indicators were studied under the condition of stagnating for 19 days. For this experiment, three sampling sites(Sungpook bridge, Mutae bridge and Gangchang bridge) were selected. Sungpook bridge is located most down the Sin stream, Mutae bridge and Gangchang bridge are located on the lower Keumho river. The results were as follows. 1. The values of water pollution indicators measured at Mutae bridge were pH 8.7, TSS 51mg/1, TS 383mg/1, Cl- 60.68mg/1, turbidity 32FTU, DO 8.58mg/1, oxygen deficit 2.02mg/1, COD 16.32mg/1, organic carbon 13.60mg/1. 2. At Gangchang bridge located down more than Mutae bridge, the values of these indicators were pH 8.0, TSS 26mg/1, TS 737mg/1, Cl- 90.59mg/1, turbidity 37FTU,DO 3.49mg/1, oxygen deficit 7.11mg/1, COD 28.02mg/1, organic carbon 14.28mg/1. 3. At Sungpook bridge, the values of these indicators were pH 8.3, TSS 145mg/1, TS 344mg/1, Cl- 32.51mg/1, turbidity 60FTU, DO 6.53mg/1, oxygen deficit 4.07mg/1, COD 43.79mg/1, organic carbon 11.03mg/1. 4. At Mutae bridge and Sungpook bridge of which initial DOs were high, DOs have decreased under the condition of stagnating for 7 days and increased after that time. On the contrary, at Gangchang bridge of which oxygen deficit was very high(7.11mg/l), DO have increased under the condition of stagnating for 13 days and decreased after that time 5. All the samples showed the quick decrease of CODs and organic carbons under the condition of stagnating for 19 days. Nevertheless, at Sungpook bridge ·of which initial COD was yeW high(43.79mg/1), the value of COD measured at the last day of experiment was still high(21.35mg/1) because of a large quantity of reducing inorganic matters. 6. All the samples didn't show the distinct decrease of turbidities because of a large quantity of nonbiodegradable inorganic solids.

최근 이상기후로 인한 집중호우, 대규모 태풍 등의 증가로 국지성 집중호우의 발생빈도가 높아지고 있다. 이로 인하여 국내 중소규모 하천의 유량이 급격하게 증가함에 따라 교량의 안전성에 영향을 미치고 있으며, 세굴에 대한 위험성도 증가하고 있다. 그러나 국내 교량건설기술에서는 교각 세굴심을 산정하기 위하여 해외의 교각 세굴심 산정식을 활용하고 있어 국내 하천의 유역특성을 반영하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 세굴현상에 따른 교량피해를 예방하기 위한 기초연구로써, 수리모형실험을 통해 측정된 실험자료와 국내에 적용되고 있는 세굴 산정식들간의 비교 분석을 수행하였다. 또한 실험자료와 세굴 산정식의 통계분석을 통하여 Coleman(1971) 공식이 가장 우수하게 세굴심을 산정하고 있는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 하천설계 및 교량설계에 있어 보다 정확한 교각 세굴심을 산정하는데 활용 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Variation of temperature is a primary environmental factor that affects the behavior of structures. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms of normal temperature-induced variations of structural behavior would help in distinguishing them from anomalies. In this study, we used the structural health monitoring data of the Shanghai Yangtze River Bridge, a steel girder cable-stayed bridge, to investigate the mechanisms of thermally induced vertical deflection ($D_T$) at mid-span of such bridges. The $D_T$ results from a multisource combination of thermal expansion effects of the cable temperature ($T_{Cab}$), girder temperature ($T_{Gir}$), girder differential temperature ($T_{Dif}$), and tower temperature ($T_{Tow}$). It could be approximated by multiple linear superpositions under operational conditions. The sensitivities of $D_T$ of the Shanghai Yangtze River Bridge to the above temperatures were in the following order: $T_{Cab}$ > $T_{Gir}$ > $T_{Tow}$ > $T_{Dif}$. However, the direction of the effect of $T_{Cab}$ was observed to be opposite to that of the other three temperatures, and the magnitudes of the effects of $T_{Cab}$ and $T_{Gir}$ were found to be almost one order greater than those of $T_{Dif}$ and $T_{Tow}$. The mechanisms of the thermally induced vertical deflection variation at mid-span of a cable-stayed bridge as well as the analytical methodology adopted in this study could be applicable for other long-span cable-stayed bridges.

The pollution characteristics of water quality analysis and the heavy metal analysis of river sediment in the Western Nakdong river, and then a commercial tile using the polluted sediment was produced. The analytical results of the riverbed structure and the depth distribution in the Western Nakdong river were that Macdo Stream(site 2) was the deepest(13 ft). The analytical result of water quality showed that BOD was the highest in the Hogei Stream(site 6); COD, Syanduengchi Island(site 1);SS, Macdo Stream(site 2);T-N, Suanduengchi Island(site 1);T-P, Macdo Stream(site 2). Therefore the deeper the site was the higher the pollution concentration was. The result of heavy metal analysis of the river sediment was that Pb and Cr were the highest in Kangdong Bridge(site 9); Cd, Macdo Stream(site 2), so the deeper the site was the higher the pollution concentration was. The production of tile using the mixure of the polluted sediment and the raw material was successful, so the reuse of polluted sediment was possible.
