Bearings at the obtuse corner are subjected to much larger vertical reactions than other bearings because of the geometric shape of skew bridges. The current relevant specifications require that additional bars should be disposed at the bottom of concrete deck slabs to deal with the large vertical reaction on bearings at the obtuse corner. In this study, new methods of reducing the magnitude of the vertical reaction on bearings at the obtuse corner by the stiffness adjustment of bearings were proposed. The basic concept of proposed methods was to redistribute support reactions by reducing the vertical stiffness of bearings at the obtuse corner showing a relatively large vertical reaction. For 45 simply supported skew bridges designed according to the current relevant specifications, the redistribution effect of vertical reactions by the stiffness adjustment of bearings was investigated. Parameters such as skew angle, girder spacing, and deck aspect ratio that affect the distribution of support reactions were considered. The results of the analyses show that the magnitude of the vertical reaction on bearings at the obtuse corner can be reduced to the levels of straight bridges by replacing the existing bearings at the obtuse corner with new ones having the value of 1/10 or 1/20 of the vertical stiffness of the existing bearings. The reduction effect of the vertical reaction on bearings at the obtuse corner increases as the girder spacing decreases and it is more pronounced when the deck aspect ratio is 2.0.

Track substructure(ballast, subgrade) should have sufficient strength and adequate stiffness to fully support track superstructure(rail, fastener, sleeper). Vertical support stiffness of track comes from the sufficient thickness, adequate strength and stiffness of material of substructure layers. Since the vertical support stiffness of track substructure is closely related with the track geometry, the evaluation of the stiffness is very important to understand the track states. This paper introduces the system, which are composed of Ground Penetrating Radar(GPR), Portable Ballast Sampler(PBS), and Light Falling Weight Deflectometer(LFWD), to evaluate substructure condition and summarizes the field test results performed with the reliable system.

This study examined the maximum resistant moment and nonlinear rotational stiffness of wedge joint between the vertical and horizontal members of system supports. To examine the maximum resistant moment and propose the nonlinear rotation stiffness of wedge joint, 6 specimens were tested and additional 3 specimens, where the horizontal member was welded to the vertical member, were tested to compare the moment capacity of wedge joints. The average maximum moment in the tested wedge joint was 1.183 kNm which represented about 70 % of the maximum moment developed in the welded specimens. And, as simulating nonlinear rotational stiffness of the wedge joint, a tri-linear model was suggested. The rotational stiffness was estimated as 23.095 kNm/rad in first stage, 7.945 kNm/rad in second stage, and 3.073 kNm/rad in third stage. For the failure mode, the specimen with the wedge joint showed the failure of joint between vertical and horizontal members. However, the specimen with welded joint represented the yielding of horizontal members.

궤도상부(레일, 체결구, 침목)를 완전하게 잘 지지하기 위해서는 궤도하부(도상, 노반)가 충분한 강도를 가지고 균질한 강성을 가져야 한다. 궤도의 수직지지강성은 궤도하부의 상태(세립분 함량, 함수비)에 크게 영향을 받는다. 따라서 궤도의 수직지지강성을 평가하기 위하여 궤도하부의 상태를 평가하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 궤도하부의 상태를 진단할 수 있는 GPR/PBS/LFWD로 구성된 궤도기초상태평가법을 제안하였다. 제안된 궤도기초 상태평가법의 적용성을 평가하기 위하여 실내 실험 및 현장시험을 수행하였다.

This study examined the effect of rotational stiffness of joints between vertical and horizontal members in system supports. In order to prevent repeated disasters of system supports, it is important to examine the accurate behavior of system supports. Among various factors affecting the complex behavior of system supports, this study focused on the stiffness of joints between vertical and horizontal members. The considered joint was modelled by a rotational spring, but the translational displacements were fixed. The stiffness of rotational spring was calculated by utilizing the usable experimental data. In addition, the hinge connection condition, which is generally considered in design and only restrict the translational displacements, was modelled to compare the results. The case with the rotational stiffness in joints showed 3.5 times buckling loads compared to the case without the rotational stiffness. Thus, the structural behavior of the vertical member in system supports was similar to the vertical member with the fixed condition. For the combined stresses of vertical members, the combined stress ratios were reduced 5~6% by considering the rotational stiffness of connecting parts. However, for the horizontal member where showed relatively small stress range, the stresses were increased 2.3~7.6 times by considering the rotational stiffness in connecting parts.

The natural frequencies of the support system for a vertical pump, which are a key factor affecting the dynamic stability of the pump support system, are not easily predictable with analytical approaches only, due to the difficulties estimating the effective stiffness of the connections between the concrete base, the motor structure, the discharge elbow and the suction column of the pump system. This paper presents the results of a finite element analysis and an experimental study performed to identify and modify the characteristics of the pumping structure. The difficulties of modelling the effective stiffness were overcome by utilizing experimental results in the analysis. Based on analytical and experimental results, appropriate structural modifications are taken to reduce excessive vibration of the pump system to a satisfactory level.

궤도지지강성은 차량이 주행함에 있어 궤도와 차량에 매우 큰 영향을 미치며, 이는 궤도 파괴이론에 근거한 궤도유지관리와 승객의 승차감에 영향을 준다. 또한 궤도설계 시 고려되는 궤도지지강성은 이론에 근거한 계산치이며 이는 공용중인 궤도에서의 실제 궤도지지강성과는 상이하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 현장측정을 통해 동적 윤중과 레일수직변위, 레일저부응력을 측정하여 궤도지지강성을 산출하였고 이를 이론 궤도지지강성과 비교 분석하였다. 현장측정결과 자갈도상궤도에서의 궤도지지강성은 자갈의 상태에 직접적인 영향을 받으며 콘크리트궤도의 경우 궤도구조별(일반적인 침목매입식, 레일플로팅, 침목플로팅) 궤도구조특성에 직접적인 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 자갈 및 콘크리트궤도 모두 설계 시 적용되는 궤도지지강성이 측정된 궤도지지강성에 비해 과소평가되는 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 공용중인 궤도의 상태평가 시 현장의 궤도상태를 반영하지 못한 예측 및 평가가 될 소지가 있을 것으로 판단된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 궤도구조형식 및 궤도상태별 궤도지지 강성의 범위를 실험적으로 제시하였다.

The selection of the support system is an important design parameter in design and construction of the tunnel using the new Australian tunnel method. It is a common practice to select the support based on the rock mass grade, in which the rock mass is classified into five rock groups. The method is applicable if the characteristics of the rock mass are uniform in the vertical direction. However, such case is seldom encountered in practice and not applicable when the properties vary along the vertical direction. This study performs comprehensive three dimensional finite difference analyses to investigate the ground deformation pattern for cases in which the rock mass properties change in the vertical direction of the tunnel axis. The numerically calculated displacements at the tunnel crown show that the displacement is highly dependent on the stiffness contrast of the rock masses. The results strongly indicate the need to select the support type $0.5{\sim}1.0D$(vertical direction) on the rock mass boundary. The paper proposes a new guideline for selecting the support type based the results of the analyses.

In this paper, a dynamic response mapping model of the wheel-rail system is established by using the support vector regression (SVR) method, and the hierarchical safety thresholds of the subgrade void are proposed based on the reliability theory. Firstly, the vehicle-track coupling dynamic model considering the subgrade void is constructed. Secondly, the subgrade void area, the subgrade compaction index K30 and the fastener stiffness are selected as random variables, and the mapping model between these three random parameters and the dynamic response of the wheel-rail system is built by using the orthogonal test and the SVR. The sensitivity analysis is carried out by the range analysis method. Finally, the hierarchical safety thresholds for the subgrade void are proposed. The results show that the subgrade void has the most significant influence on the carbody vertical acceleration, the rail vertical displacement, the vertical displacement and the slab tensile stress. From the range analysis, the subgrade void area has the largest effect on the dynamic response of the wheel-rail system, followed by the fastener stiffness and the subgrade compaction index K30. The recommended safety thresholds for the subgrade void of level I, II and III are 4.01㎡, 6.81㎡ and 9.79㎡, respectively.
