The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dynamic behavior of highway bridge due to moving vehicle load, considering the effect of laminated rubber bearing. Dynamic behaviors of bridge considering the effect of bearings are studied with 3-dimensional bridge and vehicle models. To analyze the effect of bearings on the dynamic behaviors of superstructures of bridges, laminated rubber bearing is modeled as 3-dimensional frame element with equivalent stiffness and damping, and the models are included in the bridge analysis model. The results from the analytical models with laminated rubber bearing show a significant effects on dynamic responses and more complex vibration characteristics compared with the results from the bridge with pot bearings. Generally, larger dynamic amplification factors are obtained in the case of laminated rubber bearing, which is mainly due to the smaller torsional stiffness of the bridge with laminated rubber bearing. It can be recommended that were careful consideration on the vibration of bridges and dynamic load allowance in design are needed when adopting laminated rubber bearing.

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on a vibration-based damage identification framework for a steel girder type and a truss bridge based on acceleration responses to operational loading. The method relies on sensor clustering-based time-series analysis of the operational acceleration response of the bridge to the passage of a moving vehicle. The results are presented in terms of Damage Features from each sensor, which are obtained by comparing the actual acceleration response from the sensors to the predicted response from the time-series model. The damage in the bridge is detected by observing the change in damage features of the bridge as structural changes occur in the bridge. The relative severity of the damage can also be quantitatively assessed by observing the magnitude of the changes in the damage features. The experimental results show the potential usefulness of the proposed method for future applications on condition assessment of real-life bridge infrastructures.

In this paper, wireless monitoring of typhoon-induced variation of dynamic characteristics of a cable-stayed bridge is presented. Firstly, cable-stayed bridge with the wireless monitoring system is described. Wireless vibration sensor nodes are utilized to measure accelerations from bridge deck and stay cables. Also, modal analysis methods are selected to extract dynamic characteristics. Secondly, dynamic responses of the cable-stayed bridge under the attack of two typhoons are analyzed by estimating relationships between wind velocity and dynamic characteristics. Wind-induced variations of deck and cable vibration responses are examined based on the field measurements under the two consecutive typhoons, Bolaven and Tembin. Finally, time-varying analyses are performed to investigate non-stationary random properties of the dynamic responses under the typhoons.

노후 교량의 안전성을 평가하는 방법에 있어서 동특성과 처짐은 구조계의 강성과 직접 연관이 있으며, 처짐의 경우에는 교량 사용자가 직접 감지할 수 있는 물리량으로 가장 중요한 인자이다. 하지만 교량의 처짐을 측정하기 위해서는 교량의 하부에 처짐계를 설치하고 교통 차단 및 재하시험을 실시해야 하는 번거로움이 있어 교량의 환경에 따라서 비용이 증가하거나 측정이 불가능한 문제들이 발생하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 처짐계의 설치 없이 가속도계만을 이용하고 재하시험 없이 상시 진동을 이용하여 교량의 처짐을 측정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 상시 진동을 이용한 교량 동특성 및 처짐 분석을 위해 단순한 연산으로 빠른 분석이 가능하다고 알려진 TDD 기법을 이용하여 교량의 모드형상과 고유진동수를 추출하였으며, 유연도 분석을 통하여 교량의 단위하중 처짐을 분석하여 정적 처짐까지 산정하였다. 본 제안 기술의 검증을 위해 공용중 교량인 C대교(사장교)에 적용하여 모드형상, 고유진동수, 정적 처짐 분석을 수행하였으며 재하시험 실측값과 구조해석 자료와 비교하였다. 그 결과 모드형상 및 고유진동수는 0.42~1.13 %, 중앙경간에서의 최대 처짐은 3.58 %의 오차율을 확인하였다. 따라서 제안기술은 처짐계의 설치가 어려워 실측이 불가능한 교량의 처짐을 추정하여 설계값 및 해석값 대비 처짐 발생량 비교로 교량의 안전성을 간접적으로 파악할 수 있는 근거 자료로 활용 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Coupling adjacent building with supplemental damping devices is a developing method of reduced structural response due to wind and seismic excitations. The philosophy is to allow structures, vibrating at different frequencies, to exert control forces upon one another to reduce the overall responses of the system. This paper studies the effect of installing vibration control devices of two high rise building structures(49 stories and 42 stories) connected by sky-bridge. According to the analysis results the use of sky-bridge can be effective in increasing damping ratio of the system.

Considering the wind barriers induced aerodynamic characteristic variations of both bridge deck and trains, this paper studies the effects of wind barriers on the safety and stability of trains as they run through an urban rail transit cable-stayed bridge which tends to be more vulnerable to wind due to its relatively low stiffness and lightweight. For the bridge equipped with wind barriers of different characteristics, the aerodynamic coefficients of trains and bridge decks are obtained from wind tunnel test firstly. And then, the space vibration equations of the wind-train-bridge system are established using the experimentally obtained aerodynamic coefficients. Through solving the dynamic equations, one can calculate the dynamic responses both the trains and bridge. The results indicate that setting wind barriers can effectively reduce the dynamic responses of both the trains and bridge, even though more wind forces acting on the bridge are caused by wind barriers. In addition, for urban rail transit cable-stayed bridges located in strong wind environment, the wind barriers are recommended to be set with 20% porosity and 2.5 m height according to the calculation results of cases with wind barriers porosity and height varying in two wide ranges, i.e., 10% - 40% and 2.0 m to 4.0 m, respectively.

일반적으로, 2개의 I형 거더로 이루어진 ${\pi}$형거더는 공기역학적으로 불안하여 내풍설계에 있어 매우 불리 한 것으로 알려져 있다. 공기역학적 진동은 구조물의 강성이나 감쇠의 향상, 단면 형상의 연구 등에 의해 억제될 수 있으므로 본 연구에서는 ${\pi}$ 형단면을 가진 4경간 사장교에 대해 영각과 공기역학적 제진장치의 추가로 인한 단면의 변화에 따른 2차원 진동실험을 통하여 공기역학적 특성을 파악하도록 하였다. 등류와 난류에서의 실험결과 본 교량단면은 기본단면만으로도 내풍안정성을 충분히 갖추고 있기 때문에 페어링(Fairing) 및 베플(Baffle Plate) 등의 추가적인 공기역학적 제진장치가 필요하지 않을 것으로 판단된다. 이는 본 교량의 경우 주경간이 230m인 4경간으로 이루어져 있어 비슷한 단면을 가진 교량에 비하여 수직 및 비틀림 진동수가 크고 강성이 크기 때문에 설계풍속 내에서 공기역학적으로 안정한 것으로 보여진다.

In this paper, it is aimed to determine the seismic behaviour of highway bridges by nondestructive testing using ambient vibration measurements. Eynel Highway Bridge which has arch type structural system with a total length of 216 m and located in the Ayvaclk county of Samsun, Turkey is selected as an application. The bridge connects the villages which are separated with Suat U$\breve{g}$urlu Dam Lake. A three dimensional finite element model is first established for a highway bridge using project drawings and an analytical modal analysis is then performed to generate natural frequencies and mode shapes in the three orthogonal directions. The ambient vibration measurements are carried out on the bridge deck under natural excitation such as traffic, human walking and wind loads using Operational Modal Analysis. Sensitive seismic accelerometers are used to collect signals obtained from the experimental tests. To obtain experimental dynamic characteristics, two output-only system identification techniques are employed namely, Enhanced Frequency Domain Decomposition technique in the frequency domain and Stochastic Subspace Identification technique in time domain. Analytical and experimental dynamic characteristic are compared with each other and finite element model of the bridge is updated by changing of boundary conditions to reduce the differences between the results. It is demonstrated that the ambient vibration measurements are enough to identify the most significant modes of highway bridges. After finite element model updating, maximum differences between the natural frequencies are reduced averagely from 23% to 3%. The updated finite element model reflects the dynamic characteristics of the bridge better, and it can be used to predict the dynamic response under complex external forces. It is also helpful for further damage identification and health condition monitoring. Analytical model of the bridge before and after model updating is analyzed using 1992 Erzincan earthquake record to determine the seismic behaviour. It can be seen from the analysis results that displacements increase by the height of bridge columns and along to middle point of the deck and main arches. Bending moments have an increasing trend along to first and last 50 m and have a decreasing trend long to the middle of the main arches.

The flutter derivatives of bridge decks can be efficiently identified using the experimentally and/or numerically coupled forced vibration method. This paper addresses the issue of inherent requirement for adopting different frequencies of three modes in this method. The aerostatic force components and the inertia of force and moment are mathematically proved to exert no influence on identification results if the signal length (t) is integer (n=1,2,3...) times of the least common multiple (T) of three modal periods. It is one important contribution to flutter derivatives identification theory and engineering practice in this study. Therefore, it is unnecessary to worry about the determination accuracy of aerostatic force and inertia of force and moment. The influences of signal length, amplitude, and frequency ratio on flutter derivative are thoroughly investigated using a bridge example. If the signal length t is too short, the extraction results may be completely wrong, and particular attention should be paid to this issue. The signal length t=nT ($n{\geq}5$) is strongly recommended for improving parameter identification accuracy. The proposed viewpoints and conclusions are of great significance for better understanding the essences of flutter derivative identification through coupled forced vibration method.
