국가경제력 향상과 함께 바다와 섬에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 육지와 섬, 섬과 섬을 연결하는 해상 장대교량이 많이 건설되고 있다. 장대교량은 현수교, 사장교, 아치교, 트러스교 등으로 대변할 수 있는데 그 중에서도 사장교는 주탑(Pylon)과 케이블(Cable), 보강형(Stiffened Girder)이 조화를 이루면서 외관이 아름다워 매력적인 교량형식의 하나로 최근 많이 계획되고 있다. 장력측정은 케이블에 설치한 가속도 센서로부터 케이블의 고유진동수 변화를 이용하는 간접법인 진동법을 적용하였다. 본 연구에서는 댐퍼 설치 케이블의 유효길이 산정식을 제안하였는데 이는 케이블의 유효길이 변화를 실측치와 해석값을 비교하여 분석한 것으로 기존의 유효길이 산정방법인 댐퍼와 정착단간의 순간격에 의한 것은 최종 케이블 장력값 추정에 있어서 신뢰도가 떨어짐을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러므로 향후 유지관리 단계에서는 본 연구에서 제안한 케이블의 유효길이 산정식을 활용하여 장력을 정확하게 파악하는 것이 케이블의 재긴장 및 교체시기 결정 등에도 합리적인 의사결정 자료로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

용접 및 볼트 연결부 균열이 사장교 케이블 정착부의 동특성에 미치는 영향을 파악하여, 국부적으로 취약한 케이블 정착부의 손상을 현장에서 쉽게 탐지할 수 있는 가능성을 제시하였다. 해석대상 구조물로서 현재 서해안고속도로의 일부로 시공되고 있는 서해대교 케이블 정착부를 선택하였다. 케이블과 정착부의 연결판을 케이블요소 및 쉘요소로 함께 모델링하여 자유진동해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과 케이블 정착단에서 용접부 균열이 발생한 경우, 연결판의 고유진동수가 균열이 발생하지 않은 경우에 비하여 최대 16%정도 작아짐을 확인하였다. 따라서, 연결판의 고유진동수를 측정하여 케이블 정착부의 손상을 충분히 파악할 수 있다고 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 약 3년간의 장기계측을 바탕으로 공용중인 복층 교량인 상부 도로교의 신축이음 신축량과 하부 철도교의 케이블 장력 간의 상관관계를 입증함으로서 온도변화에 따른 케이블 장력 평가 경험식을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 케이블별 장력 평가 경험식을 이용한 장력 예측결과는 진동법을 이용한 장력과 3% 이내로 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타나 공용중인 케이블의 장력 예측 및 평가에 실험적인 기법인 진동법과 함께 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다. 본 연구에서 제안한 신축량 경험식으로 산출한 추정온도를 케이블 경험식에 적용한 결과, 현장시험 진동법 측정결과와 비교시 높은 신뢰수준을 확보할 수 있을 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제안한 추정온도를 반영한 장력 평가 경험식은 향후 기후변화에 따른 케이블의 장력 예측 및 유지관리방안 수립에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In the 2000s, a lot of cable-type grand bridges are being built in consideration of economic aspects such as the reduction of logistics costs and the distribution of traffic volume due to rapid economic development. In addition, because the recently installed grand bridges are designed in an aesthetic form that matches the surrounding environment as well as the original function of the road bridge, and serves as a milestone in an area and is used as an excellent tourism resource, attracting many vehicles and people, there is an urgent need for a safety structure that can ensure the safety of not only vehicles but also people. In order to make cable-stayed bridge safe on wind for additional five safety structures, main girder models with and without safety structures for wind-tunnel experiments was made, and wind tunnel experiments was carried out to measure aerodynamic force coefficients. Also, wind-resistant analyses of 3D cable-stayed bridge were performed on the basis of wind-tunnel experiment results. From the wind tunnel experiments for the aerodynamic force coefficients of main girder with five safety structures and the wind resistant analyses of cable-stayed bridge without safety structure and with safety structure, it was concluded that the best form of wind-resistant safety was shown in the order of mesh, standard, bracing, hollow, and closed type. And wind-resistant safety of cable-stayed bridge with hollow and closed type on design wind speed 68.0m/sec was not secured. Finally, as five safety structures are installed, maximum rate of stress increments was shown in the order of steel main beam, steel floor beam, concrete floor beam and cables.

In tied-arch bridges, a properly designed connection between the arch and the deck may become crucial, since the forces in the structure may be significantly reduced. This implies substantial material savings and, consequently, cheaper constructions. The introduction of the Nielsen cable arrangement (composed of V-shaped inclined hangers) in the last century was a milestone because it was able to reduce deflections and bending moments both in the arch and in the deck. So far, the Nielsen cable arrangement has proven to be successful in traditional vertical arch bridges. However, despite its advantages, it has not been widely applied to spatial arch bridges. Thus, this article analyses the difference between the structural behavior of spatial arch bridges with Nielsen-type cable arrangements with respect to those with classical vertical hanger configurations. The main goal is to verify whether the known effectiveness of the Nielsen cable arrangement for classical arch bridges is still preserved when applied to spatial arch bridges. In order to achieve this objective, and as the first part of our study, a set of different all-steel bridges composed of vertical and inclined arches with straight decks have been compared for both cable arrangements. As a major conclusion, for planar vertical arch bridges, the Nielsen-type cable arrangement is always the most effective. In addition, it also seems that, for spatial arch bridges composed of a straight deck and an inclined arch, it still keeps most of its effectiveness as long as the arch is moderately inclined.

The sag effect of long stay cables is one of the key factors restricting further increase in the span of cable-stayed bridges. Based on the formerly proposed concept of long stay cables lifted by an auxiliary suspension cable in cross-strait cable-stayed bridges, corresponding static approximate calculations and analytical theory based on catenary and parabolic cable configurations are established. Taking a main span 1400 m cable-stayed bridge as the research object, three typical lifting conditions and the whole process of auxiliary cable lifting are analyzed and discussed. The results show that the sag effect is effectively reduced. The support efficiency is only improved when the cables are lifted above the original cable chord. Reduction of the horizontal component force of the cable is limited. The equivalent elastic modulus and the vertical support stiffness of the lifted cables are significantly increased with increased horizontal projection length and not sensitive to the change of the lifting point position. The scheme of lifting the cable to the chord midpoint is more economical because of the less steel required for the auxiliary suspension cable, but its effect on improving the vertical support efficiency is limited. The support efficiency is better when the cable is lifted to the cable end tangential to the original cable chord, but the lifting force and the cross-sectional area of the auxiliary suspension cable are doubled. The approximate calculation results of the lifted cables are very close to the numerical analysis results, which verifies the applicability of the approximation method proposed in this study. The results of parabolic approximation calculations are approximately equal to that of catenary cable geometry. As the parabolic approximation analysis theory of lifted cables is more convenient in mathematical processing, it is feasible to use parabolic approximation analysis theory as the analytical method for the conceptual design of lifted cables of super-long span cable-stayed bridges.

An equivalent friction element is proposed to simulate the friction in cable-strut joints. Equivalent stiffness matrixes and load vectors of the friction element are derived and are unified into patterns for FEM by defining a virtual node specially to store internal forces. Three approaches are described to verify the rationality of the new equivalent friction element: applying the new element in a cable-roller model, and numerical solutions match well with experimental results; applying the element in a continuous sliding cable model, and theoretical values, numerical and experimental results are compared; and the last is applying it in truss string structures, whose results indicate that there would be a great error if the cable of cable supported structures is simulated with discontinuous cable model which is usually adopted in traditional finite element analysis, and that the prestress loss resulted from the friction in cable-strut joints would have adverse effect on the mechanical performance of cable supported structures.

Recently, a novel stress sensor, which utilizes the elasto-magnetic (EM) effect of ferromagnetic materials, has been developed to measure stress in steel cables and wires. In this study, the effectiveness of this EM based stress sensors for monitoring of the cable tension force of a real scale cable-stayed bridge was investigated. Two EM stress sensors were installed on two selected multi-strand cables in Hwa-Myung Bridge, Busan, South Korea. Conventional lift-off test was conducted to obtain reference cable tension forces of two test cables. The reference forces were used to calibrate and validate cable tension force measurements from the EM sensors. Tension force variations of two test cables during the second tensioning work on Hwa-Myung Bridge were monitored using the EM sensors. Numerical simulations were conducted to compare and verify the monitoring results. Based on the results, the effectiveness of EM sensors for accurate field monitoring of the cable tension force of cable-stayed bridge is discussed.

Cable-supported ribbed beam composite slab structure (CBS) is proposed in this study. As a new cable-supported structure, it has many merits such as long span availability and cost-saving. Inspired by the previous research on cable-supported structures, the fabrication and construction process are developed. Pre-stress design method based on static equilibrium analysis is presented. In the algorithm, the iteration convergence can be accelerated and the calculation result can be kept in an acceptable precision by setting a rational threshold value. The accuracy of this method is also verified by experimental study on a 1:5 scaled model. Further, important parameters affecting the mechanical features of the CBS are discussed. The results indicate that the increases of sag-span ratio, depth of the ribbed beam and cable diameter can improve the mechanical behavior of the CBS by some extent, but the influence of strut sections on mechanical behavior of the CBS is negligible.
