Life Cycle Cost analysis technique is introduced to evaluate cost-effectiveness of two paint systems of steel bridges. The systems are a conventional paint system and a galvanized paint system. The all costs during safe lift such as initial cost repainting costs, disposal costs are considered for the lift cycle cost analysis. The NIST model is used and BridgeLCC 1.0 developed by the NST is utilized as the lift cycle cost analysis tool. It is concluded that, in spite of expensive initial cost, the durable paint system may be cost-effective compared with conventional paint system.

In this study, it is conducted that the performance verification of the ambient load carrying capacity algorithm using long-term measurement systems of bridges. For this purpose, a steel-box type model bridge is fabricated and the public load carrying capacity of a steel-box model bridge is estimated by conducting the numerical analysis and load test. In addition, we compare the public load carrying capacity with the estimated result of a steel-box model bridge using the ambient load carrying capacity algorithm. By the assessment result, it is shown that the estimated ambient load carrying capacity is the difference of approximately 6.0 percentages as compared with the public load carrying capacity.

The truss bridge is composed of numerous steel beams. In long span bridges the size of beams is getting larger, so the number of plate girders is increasing instead of rolled beams. This plate girder has long welding lines at the intersection of steel plates. The improper welding at the intersection line causes the steel bridge to be structurally unsafe. In this paper the loss of member section from improper welding was measured and the experimental testing was performed to get the S-N curve from testing models with sectional losses. The improper welding resulted in the lowering of structural safety and the shortening of life cycle.

강교의 구조적 거동은 강도 및 사용성이 충족되고, 피로안전성이 확보될 때 공용수명을 충분히 확신할 수 있다. 그러나, 현재 교량의 피로에 관한 연구들은 상당히 부족하여 이 분야에 대한 지속적인 연구가 절실히 요구된다. 본 연구는 강교의 장기적인 피로안전성을 확보하기 위해서 실무에 적합한 피로설계지침의 방향을 제시함을 목표로 수행되었다. 연속된 강재 트러스교에 실교통량의 누적빈도수를 적용시켜 분석한 결과, 국내의 피로설계규정은 응력범위와 피로강도가 국외의 주요 설계기준에 비하여 과대평가 되는 것으로 나타난다. 따라서, 향후 국내의 피로설계지침에서는 피로설계조항들이 피로설계에 합리적으로 규정되는 것이 필요하다.

To enhance cable stiffness, this paper proposed a combined application of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) and steel materials, resulting in a novel type of hybrid stay cable system especially for the cable-stayed bridges with main span lengths of 1400~2800 m. In this combination, CFRP materials can conserve all their advantages such as light weight and high strength; while steel materials help increase the equivalent stiffness to compensate for the low elastic modulus of CFRP materials. An increase of the equivalent stiffness of the hybrid stay cable system could be further obtained with a reasonable increase of its safety factor. Following this concept, a series of parametric studies for the hybrid stay cable system with the consideration of stiffness and cost were carried out. Three design strategies/criteria, namely, best equivalent stiffness with a given safety factor, highest ratio of equivalent stiffness to material cost with a given safety factor, and best equivalent stiffness under a given cost were proposed from the stiffness and cost viewpoints. Finally, a comprehensive design procedure following the proposed design strategies was suggested. It was shown that the proposed hybrid stay cable system could be a good alternative to the pure CFRP or traditional steel stay cables in the future applications of super long span bridges.

본 연구에서는 국내 내진 설계규정에서 고려하고 있지 않은 근거리지진의 특성을 규명하고, 사장교 구조물에 미치는 영향을 검토하고자 한다. 대표적인 근거리 및 원거리지진의 실측자료를 선정한 후, 탄성 및 비탄성응답스펙트럼을 작성하여 지진기록의 특성을 분석하였다. 세 가지 형식의 사장교 및 실제 사장교 구조물을 대상으로 지진특성에 따른 응답해석을 수행하여 주요부재에 대한 응답특성을 비교 분석하였다. 또한 지진응답해석 결과를 이용하여 신뢰성해석을 수행하였으며, 신뢰성지수 및 파괴확률을 검토함으로써 대상 사장교 구조물의 내진 안전성을 정량적으로 평가하였다. 응답스펙트럼, 지진응답해석 및 신뢰성해석 결과에 의하면 근거리지진이 사장교 응답에 대한 영향은 기존의 원거리지진과는 상이한 양상을 보이고 있으므로, 사장교 구조물 설계 시 중요한 인자로 고려해야 할 것을 제시하고자 한다.

Because of the increasing span of arch bridges, ultimate capacity analysis recently becomes more focused both on design and construction. This paper investigates the static and ultimate behavior of a long-span steel arch bridge up to failure and evaluates the overall safety of the bridge. The example bridge is a long-span steel arch bridge with a 550 m-long central span under construction in Shanghai, China. This will be the longest central span of any arch bridge in the world. Ultimate behavior of the example bridge is investigated using three methods. Comparisons of the accuracy and reliability of the three methods are given. The effects of material nonlinearity of individual bridge element and distribution pattern of live load and initial lateral deflection of main arch ribs as well as yield stresses of material and changes of temperature on the ultimate load-carrying capacity of the bridge have been studied. The results show that the distribution pattern of live load and yield stresses of material have important effects on bridge behavior. The critical load analyses based on the linear buckling method and geometrically nonlinear buckling method considerably overestimate the load-carrying capacity of the bridge. The ultimate load-carrying capacity analysis and overall safety evaluation of a long-span steel arch bridge should be based on the geometrically and materially nonlinear buckling method. Finally, the in-plane failure mechanism of long-span steel arch bridges is explained by tracing the spread of plastic zones.

최근 교통정체와 환경적 문제로 인하여 많은 개발도상국에서 고속철도 시스템이 많이 건설되고 있다. 철도교는 도로교와 비교하여 차이점이 많이 있으며 그중 주행안전성 및 승차감이 중요한 이슈 중의 하나이다. 반복되는 하중으로 인한 구조물의 처짐과 가속도는 열차주행시의 안전성과 사용자의 승차감에 큰 영향을 미친다. 특히 강철도교는 콘크리트교에 비하여 상대적으로 가벼운 중량으로 진동에 취약한 특징이 있다. 이 논문의 목적은 주행 중인 열차에 의한 강박스거더 철도교의 동적 거동을 분석하고 진동을 저감할 수 있는 합리적인 방안을 제안하는 것이다. 세 개의 강철도교에 대한 장기적 계측이 수행되었으며 주행중인 열차에 의한 교량의 동적거동을 해석할 수 있는 수치적인 모델이 개발되었다. 모델의 검증을 위하여 교량의 고유진동수가 비교되었다. 구조물의 진동 저감을 위한 방안으로 세 가지 방법에 대한 매개변수 연구가 수행되었으며, 이 분석 결과를 바탕으로 합리적인 진동 저감 방안이 제안되었다.

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.
