Multiple hazards (multihazard) conditions may cause significant risk to structures that are originally designed for individual hazard scenarios. Such a multihazard condition arises when an earthquake strikes to a bridge pre-exposed to scour at foundations due to flood events. This study estimates the impact spectrum of flood-induced scour on seismic vulnerability of bridges. Characteristic river-crossing highway bridges are formed based on the information obtained from bridge inventories. These bridges are analyzed under earthquake-only and the abovementioned multihazard conditions, and bridge fragility curves are developed at component and system levels. Research outcome shows that bridges having pile shafts as foundation elements are protected from any additional seismic vulnerability due to the presence of scour. However, occurrence of floods can increase seismic fragility of bridges at lower damage states due to the adverse impact of scour on bridge components at superstructure level. These findings facilitate bridge design under the stated multihazard condition.

The vehicle-induced aerodynamic loads bring vibrations to some of the highway sound barriers, for they are designed in consideration of natural wind loads only. A field experiment is carried out with respect to three important factors: vehicle type, vehicle speed and the vehicle-barrier separation distance. Based on the results, the time-history of pressures is given, showing identical characteristics in all cases. Therefore, the vehicle-induced aerodynamic loads acting on the highway sound barrier are summarized as the combination of "head impact" and "wake impact". The head impact appears to have potential features, while the wake impact is influenced by the rotational flow. Then parameters in the experiment are analyzed, showing that the head impact varies with vehicle speed, vehicle-barrier separation distance, vehicle shape and cross-sectional area, while the wake impact is mainly about vehicle-barrier separation distance and vehicle length.

14TON 밴 형식의 트럭에 대응할 수 있는 튜브형 트라이빔 교량난감을 제안하였다. 이 교량난간은 합성형 지주에 연결된 튜브형 트라이빔과 철재 가드빔으로 구성되어 있는데, 튜브형 트라이빔은 다양한 범퍼 높이를 갖는 차량에 대응할 수 있고 기존의 교량 난간에 비해서 교량난간의 시종점부와 가드레일 사이를 보다 완벽하게연결할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 가드레일 지주로 사용되는 것과 동일한크기의 철재 파이프에 콘크리트를 충전한 합성형지주가 단순히 철재 파이프의 크기를 키운 것보다 강성 및 극한강도를 증대시키는데 효율적임을 확인하였다. 개발된 시스템에 대하여 $14Ton-80km/h-15Y^{\circ}$의 충돌조건으로 실차 충돌실험을 실시하였는데 NCHRP Report 350의 실험레벨 4의 평가항목을 모두 만족하였다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 이 시스템이 국내의 S2 등급으로 분류될 수 있음을 보여주었다.

The purpose of this study was to develop a 3D mesh-type impact protection pad with excellent motion adaptability and functionality by applying 3D printing technology. The hexagonal 3D mesh, which constitutes the basic structure of the pad, comprises two types: small and large. The bridge connecting the basic units was designed as the I-type, V-type, IV-type, and VV-type. After evaluating the characteristics of the bridge, it was found that the V-type bridge had the highest flexibility and tensile elongation. The hip joint pad and knee pad were completed by combining the hexagonal 3D mesh structure with the optimal bridge design. The impact protection pad was printed using a fused deposition modeling-type 3D printer with a filament made of thermoplastic polyurethane material, and the protection pad's performance was evaluated. When an impact force of approximately 6,500N was applied to the pad, the force attenuation percentage was 78%, and when an impact force of approximately 8,000N was applied, the force attenuation percentage was 75%. Through these results, it was confirmed that the 3D-printed impact protection pad with a hexagonal 3D mesh structure connected by a V-shaped bridge developed in this study can adapt to changes in the body surface according to movement and provides excellent impact protection performance.

본 연구는 U-채널 세그멘탈 콘크리트 교량의 차량 충돌 안전성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. U-채널 세그멘탈 콘크리트 교량은 추가 고정하중을 감소시키고, 측보가 방호벽 역할을 동시에 수행하는 교량이라는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 측보의 파괴는 전체 교량의 붕괴로 이어질 수 있는 위험 요소를 가지고 있다. 따라서, U-채널 세그멘탈 콘크리트 교량 측보의 차량 충돌에 따른 거동분석 및 특성파악이 필요하다고 판단된다. 본 논문에서는 AASHTO LRFD 설계기준 (2007)의 정적 및 동적 차량 충돌해석 기준을 적용하여 U-채널 세그멘탈 콘크리트 교량의 충돌해석을 수행하였다. 정적차량충돌해석의 경우에는 AASHTO LRFD 설계기준 (2007)에서 제시하고 있는 등가정적하중 재하하여 해석을 수행하고, 동적차량충돌의 경우에는 AASHTO LRFD 설계기준 (2007)의 방호벽 충돌실험기준에 근거한 실제 차량을 모델링하여 충돌해석을 통한 안전성 검토를 수행하였다. 검토결과, AASHTO LRFD 설계기준 (2007)을 만족하는 정적 및 동적 충돌하중에 대해 U-채널 교량시스템은 안전성을 확보하고 있는 것으로 판단된다.

Past research shows that the construction of new infrastructure accelerates economic growth in the region by attracting more people and commodities. However, the previous studies only considered large-scale infrastructures such as sea-cross bridges and channel tunnels. There is a paucity of literature on regional infrastructure and its impact on socio-economic indicators. This paper explores the impact of new bridge construction on the human population, particularly focusing on regional bridges constructed during the 2000s in the state of Georgia. The human population at a county level was selected as a single socio-economic factor to be evaluated. A total of 124 cases were investigated as to whether the emergence of a new bridge affected the population change. The interrupted time series analysis was used to statistically examine the significance of population change due to the construction by treating each new bridge as an intervention event. The results show that, out of the 124 cases, the population of 67 cases significantly increased after the bridge construction, while the population of 57 cases was not affected by the construction at a significance level of 0.05. The 124 cases were also analyzed by route type, functional class, and traffic volume, but the results revealed, unlike large-scale infrastructure, that no clear evidence was found that a new bridge would bring an increase in the human population at a county level.

교량의 내하성능 추정 관련 연구에서 단순지지 조건의 충격계수 응답스펙트럼을 개발하고 이를 적용한 새로운 단순교의 내하력 평가 모델이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 충격계수 응답스펙트럼을 연속교에 적용하기 위해 연속지지 경간 중 내측 경간의 경계조건을 이상적인 양단 고정 경계조건으로 가정하고, 보의 동적 지배방정식을 이용하여 보 중앙에서의 이론적인 최대 통적 및 정적 연위 산출식과 이로부터 충격계수 이론식을 유도하였다. 이론식을 바탕으로 교량 경간 길이 및 감쇠비에 따른 양단지지 조건의 충격계수 응답스펙트럼을 개발하였다. 제안된 충격계수 응답스펙트럼의 적용성을 검증하기 실제공용 중인 연속교를 대상으로 수치해석을 수행하고 실측 데이터와 비교하였다. 해석은 실측 데이터와 동일하게 6경간 연속교에 차량 하중을 이동 재하 하였으며, 연속지지 내부 경간에서 동적응답을 측정하였다. 교량의 진동수는 가속도 응답을 고속퓨리에 변환(FFT)하여 얻었으며, 제안된 응답스펙트럼으로부터 교량의 경간-진동수를 적용하여 충격계수를 도출하였다. 제안된 모델에 의한 충격계수는 실측 충격계수 유사한 결과를 나타냈으며, 양단고정지지 교량의 진동수 기반 충격계수 응답스펙트럼을 이용한 방법은 실재 연속교에 적용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, the impact analysis for the steel fender system that designed for protection of collision between vessel and bridge was performed The size of objective collision vessel assumed as 3000 dead weight tonnage(DWT). The impact forces and the impact energies were estimated by formulas of several design codes, and the steel fender system was designed based on the estimated forces and energy. The bow of objective vessel was modeled as rigid body, and bridge substructure was modeled as fixed support. Since, the impact analysis have the dynamic nonlinear features, such as, material nonlinear, large deformation and contact, explicit structural analysis program was used The analysis results presented that the impact forces formulas in codes have the sufficient conservativeness.

The Extradosed PSC bridge is one of the best alternates which not only covers the longer span than PSC box girder and also performs the role of landmark facility with much cheaper cost than cable stayed bridge. Since the cable-stayed long span bridge is more flexible than general medium span bridges and railway bridges can be experienced resonance phenomenon by repeated equidistant axle loading of the train, it is inevitable to consider the dynamic behavior on impact, deflection and so on. In the present study, the dynamic behavior of an Extradosed PSC railway bridge subjected to moving train forces is analyzed. As well as trains which operate in conventional railway tines, KTX train is also considered. For the estimation of dynamic performances of the Extradosed PSC bridge, vertical deflection, accelerations of the slab, end rotation of the girder and impact on pylons and cables are discussed.
