Civil infrastructures, such as bridges and tunnels are most important assets and their failure during service will have significant economic and social impact in any country. Behavior of a bridge can be evaluated only through actual monitoring/measurements of bridge members under the loads of interest. Theoretical analysis alone is not a good predictor of the ability of a bridge. In some cases, theoretical analyses can give less effect than actual since theoretical analyses do not consider the actual condition of the bridge, support conditions, level of corrosion and damage in members and connections etc. Hence actual measurements of bridge response should be considered in making decisions on structural integrity, especially in cases of high value bridges (large spans and major crossings). This paper describes in detail the experimental investigations carried out on an open web type steel railway bridge. Strain gages and displacement transducers were installed at critical locations and responses were measured during passage of locomotives. Stresses were evaluated and extrapolated to maximum design loading. The responses measured from the bridge were within the permissible limits. The methodology adopted shall be used for assessing the structural integrity of the bridge for the design loads.

본 연구에서는 실험적 모드해석 기법을 이용하여 외부환경에 직접 노출되어 있는 실제 철도판형교의 full-scale 동적 테스트가 수행되었다. 충격해머 모드실험에 의해 얻어진 철도판형교의 모드 매개변수를 유한요소해석으로부터 구한 고유진동수와 모드형상과 비교, 분석하였다. 실험적 모드해석에 의해 측정된 실험 데이터와 해석적 진동분석에서 얻어지는 출력만의 데이터를 교량 부재의 기하학적 특성 및 재료적 특성을 다양하게 고려하여 모델보정 테크닉에 적용하였다. 철도판형교의 실험적 모드해석 결과를 검증하기 위한 유한요소모델이 모드인식 기법을 이용하여 보정되었다. 실험 데이터와 유한요소해석 기준모델의 모델보정과정의 결과와 함께 부재특성의 변화를 통하여 이루질 수 있는 손상평가에 대한 기초적 데이터베이스가 제공된다.

본 연구에서는 기존의 25 m 지간을 갖는 PSC I형 단순 철도교에 대해 고속 및 일반 열차하중으로 인한 동적거동을 분석하여 철도교량의 동적사용성을 평가하였다. 고유진동수는 8Hz 대역으로 평가되어 철도교량의 적정 고유진동수 범위 내에 들어있으며, 공진발생 가능성은 없는 것으로 나타났다. 가속도 응답은 무궁화호 열차 주행 시 제한 값 0.35 g를 초과하는 0.43 g가계측되었다. 또한 단부꺽임각은 고속철도의 설계기준을 만족하지 못하였으며 충격계수와 처짐은 모두 설계기준을 만족하였다. 결과적으로 25 m 지간을 갖는 PSC I형 단순 철도교의 경우 다양한 열차하중에 대하여 동적사용성을 부분적으로 확보하고 있는 것으로 나타났으나 진동가속도 응답을 감소시키기 위한 대책이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

경부 고속철의 PSC 박스거더 교량의 동적응답에 대하여 보다 우수한 평가를 얻기 위한 동적거동해석방법을 개발하였다. 특히, 고속철 차량, 교량 그리고 궤도구조물간의 구조적 상호작용을 고려한 3차원 수치해석모델을 개발하여 고속철 속도에 의하여 발생되는 PSC 교량의 동적응답을 정확하게 해석하고 심도깊은 영향평가를 수행하였다. PSC 박스거더 교량은 40 m 경간의 단순교를 뼈대요소를 사용하여 3차원 프레임 모형화 하였다. K-TGV 고속철 차량은 동력차를 포함하여 다련 38자유도 모형으로 개발하고 차체와 대차의 연직변위, 횡변위, 종변위 및 피칭, 롤링, 요잉을 모두 고려하였다. 동적충격계수는 정적해석결과와 Runge-Kutta 기법으로 산출된 동적해석 결과를 비교 산출하였으며, 고속철 차량 속도에 따른 그 차이를 회귀분석을 통하여 추정실험식으로 제안하였다.

The surfacing of bridge-decks are object to secure trafficability and to protect bridge face from impact load of traffic volume and other external conditions. But the deformation of pavements and cracks happen due to the damage of the bridge-decks surfacing from the increase of the traffic, short maintenance period and continuous vibration of bridge. This test is to make the 3-type high performance concrete that has different mixing ratio and is added the blast furnace slag, fly ash and silica respectively, and to compare 3-type high performance concrete of normal high strength concrete of $400kgf/cm^2$ strength through the static loading test and fatigue test. And test specimen is united floor slab and pavement for the durability of bridge.

The rocking pier system (RPS) allows the columns to rock on beam or foundation surfaces during the attacks of a strong earthquake. Literatures have proved that seismic energy dissipated by the RPS through the column impact is limited. To enhance the energy dissipation capacity of a RPS bridge substructure, frictional hinge dampers (FHDs) were installed and evaluated by shaking table tests. The supplemental FHDs consist of two brass plates sandwiched by three steel plates. The strategy of self-centering design is to isolate the seismic energy by RPS at the columns and then dissipate the energy by FHDs at the bridge deck. Component tests of FHD were first conducted to verify the friction coefficient and dynamic characteristic of the FHDs. In total, 32 shaking table tests were conducted to investigate parameters such as wave forms of the earthquake (El Centro 1940 and Kobe 1995) and normal forces applied on the friction dampers. An analytical model was also proposed to compare with the tested damping of the bridge sub-structure with or without FHDs.

Construction of concrete slab track is trending to increase gradually in national and international for reduction in track maintenance cost and secure of ride comfort. But elastic pad becomes superannuated due to repeated train operation. After all, it brings change of pad stiffness and it could directly act on track and bridge as load transmission and impact force. In this study, we carried out laboratory test changing pad stiffness after making a model of 15m bridge and laying concrete slab track. Also, we carried out static and dynamic behaviors test(stress, natural frequency, damping ratio, vibrational acceleration, deflection) of bridge and track and experimentally analyzed them by change of elastic pad stiffness on rail fastener.

Assessment of a monumental concrete arch bridge with a total length of 210 meters having three major spans of 30 meters and a height of 65 meters, which is located in an earthquake-prone region in southern part of the country is presented in this study. Three-dimensional finite element model of the bridge was generated using a commercially available general finite element analysis software and based on the outcomes of a series of in-depth acceleration measurements that were conducted on-site, the model was refined. By using the structural parameters obtained from the dynamic and the static tests, calibrated model of the bridge structure was obtained and this model was used for necessary calculations regarding structural assessment and evaluation.

Currently, RC slab bridges in use in Korea account for most of the total bridges, and bridges with a service life of 20 years or more account for about 75%. However, most of these RC slab bridges have a span of less than 20m and are not included in the first and second types of facilities, so maintenance is very neglected. Therefore, in this study, field load test is performed on an aged RC slab bridge, and the performance evaluation is performed based on the structural response results (deflection, impact coefficient, natural frequency, etc.) of the bridge obtained through field load test. In addition, the performance evaluation results obtained through the load test are intended to be used as basic data for the damage evaluation process of the bridge currently under development.

Using the most up-to-date system identification methods in both time and frequency domains, the dynamic monitoring data from the reinforced concrete Egebaekvej Bridge near Holte, Denmark, is examined in this investigation. The bridge was erected in the 1960s and was still standing during test campaign before demolishing. The ARTeMIS Modal was adopted to derive the modal parameters from ambient vibration data. Several Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) approaches were applied, including Enhanced Frequency Domain Decomposition (EFDD), Curve-fit Frequency Domain Decomposition (CFDD), and Frequency Domain Decomposition (FDD). Afterward, Principal Component (SSI-PC), Unweighted Principal Component (SSI-UPC) Stochastic Subspace Identification methods were utilized. Danish engineering consulting company, COWI with the allowance of the bridge contractor BARSLUND, allow the researcher for this experimental test to demonstrate the impact of OMA applications.
