In this study, a method to estimate the suspension bridge deflection is developed using mode decomposition technique. In order to examine the suspension bridge stability against these dynamic loadings, the prediction of displacement response is very important to evaluate bridge stability. However, it is recognized that any measurement of movement for suspension bridges may be difficult for the absence of proper methods to measure the displacement response on site. This study aims at suggesting a method to estimate the displacement response from the measured strain signals in an indirect way to predict the displacement response, not a direct way to measure the displacement response. Additionally, by applying the FBG sensors with multi-point measurements not influenced by electric noise, it can be expected that the technique would be applicable to infrastructures.

A method that can estimate global deformation and internal forces using a limited amount of displacement data and based on the shape superposition technique and a neural network has been recently developed. However, it is difficult to directly measure sufficient displacement data owing to the limitations of conventional displacement meters and the high cost of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS). Therefore, in this study, the previously developed estimation method was extended by combining displacement, slope, and strain to improve the estimation accuracy while reducing the need for high-cost GNSS. To validate the proposed model, the global deformation and internal forces of a cable-stayed bridge were estimated using limited multi-response data. The effect of multi-response data was analyzed, and the estimation performance of the extended method was verified by comparing its results with those of previous methods using a numerical model. The comparison results reveal that the extended method has better performance when estimating global responses than previous methods.

일반적으로 대형구조물의 건전성평가에 있어 중요한 인자인 변위를 추정함으로써 구조물의 성능 저하 및 노후도를 판단하는 근거가 된다. 그러나 변위응답의 계측이 중요함에도 불구하고 계측 방법의 부재로 말미암아 현수교와 같은 대형구조물의 변위응답을 측정하는 방법이 용이치 않은 것이 현실이다. 본 논문에서는 변형률신호로부터 변위응답을 추정하는 방법인 모드분해기법을 제시하였다. 모드분해기법은 등가정적 변위응답과 구조물의 주요거동을 나타내는 저차모드의 변위응답을 합하여 최종변위응답을 추정하는 방법이다. 변형률신호의 계측시 전기저항식 변형률센서를 사용할 경우 전기적 노이즈 문제가 발생할 소지가 크며, 측점이 많아질수록 경제적 부담감이 커진다. 이런 문제점을 극복하기 위하여 전기적 노이즈의 영향이 없고 다중측정이 가능한 광섬유 브래그 격자 센서를 사용하였다. 현수교와 플레이트거더교의 동재하실험을 통하여 모드분해기법의 사용성을 검토하였다.

전력, 통신, 상수, 난방, 중수 등의 공급망을 구성하는 지하공동구는 도시기능을 유지하기 위한 핵심 기간망이며, 재난 및 재해로 서비스의 정지 및 일시적 중단이 발생하는 경우 대규모 사회경제적 손실을 가져온다. 본 연구에서는 지중구조물에 대한 개선된 내진설계 및 평가를 위하여 국내 지진환경에 부합하는 지진원 스펙트럼으로부터 대상 지반의 증폭 및 감쇠 효과를 반영한 시나리오 지진에 기반한 지반변위 예측 방법을 제시하였다. 코사인법으로 통용되는 기존의 단순화 가정법 및 지반응답해석과의 비교를 통해서 본 연구가 제시하는 재해도에 상응하는 지반변위 산정방법이 합리적이며 공학 실무에서 충분히 적용 가능한 것을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 모드분해기법을 이용한 변형률신호로부터 변위응답추정 방법을 개발하였다. 일반적으로 교량의 안정성평가는 완공 후에 초점이 맞추어져 있다. 하지만 가설 중에도 풍하중과 지진하중과 같은 동적하중에 노출되어 있으며, 이런 동적하중에 대한 안정성을 검토하기 위해 교량의 안정성 평가에 있어 중요한 인자인 변위를 추정하는 것이 중요하다. 그러나 건설현장에서의 적절한 변위측정 방법의 부재로 인하여 대형구조물의 전체적인 변위를 측정할 수 없는 것이 현실이다. 본 연구에서는 간접적으로 변위를 추정하는 방법인 변형률로 변위를 추정하는 방법을 제시하였으며, 광섬유 브래그 격자 센서(fiber optic Bragg-grating sensor)를 사용하여 변형률을 계측하였다. 기존에도 FBG센서를 이용한 변위추정 방법이 있었으며 기존의 방법으로는 정적하중에 대한 변위추정은 가능하였으나 고차 모드의 변형률신호와 노이즈의 영향 때문에 동적하중에 대한 변위추정은 많은 오차가 발생하여 정확한 변위추정이 어려웠다. 이런 오차를 줄이는 방법으로 모드분해기법을 사용하였다. 모드분해기법은 변형률신호로부터 proper orthogonal decomposition(POD)을 이용하여 추정한 모드형상과 empirical mode decomposition(EMD)을 이용하여 모드 분해한 변형률신호로 모드별 변위응답을 추정하고, 구조물의 주요 모드에 대한 변위응답을 합하여 전체변위응답을 추정하는 방법이다. 제안한 모드분해기법을 검증하기 위해 실내모형실험을 수행하였다.

In this study, a method predicting the displacement responseof structures from the measured dynamic strain signal is proposed by using a mode decomposition technique. Dynamic loadings including wind and seismic loadings could be exerted to the bridge. In order to examine the bridge stability against these dynamic loadings, the prediction of displacement response is very important to evaluate bridge stability. Because it may be not easy for the displacement response to be acquired directly on site, an indirect method to predict the displacement response is needed. Thus, as an alternative for predicting the displacement response indirectly, the conversion of the measured strain signal into the displacement response is suggested, while the measured strain signal can be obtained using fiber optic Bragg-grating (FBG) sensors. To overcome such a problem, a mode decomposition technique was used in this study. The measured strain signal is decomposed into each modal component by using the empirical mode decomposition(EMD) as one of mode decomposition techniques. Then, the decomposed strain signals on each modal component are transformed into the modal displacement components. And the corresponding mode shapes can be also estimated by using the proper orthogonal decomposition(POD) from the measured strain signal. Thus, total displacement response could be predicted from combining the modal displacement components.

Quickness and precision are the two most important requirements for an industrial scale used in production lines. In this paper, a new approach, "Mass-estimation algorithm by vibration-response measurement of dynamic balance", is presented to improve some of drawbacks in conventional scales. The system, consisted of velocity and displacement sensors, spring scale, analog-digital converter and microcomputer, is based on full utilization of dynamic mass measurement of velocity and displacement via microcomputer-assisted real time monitoring. The resulting system, when combined with appropriate mass estimation algorithm software, has shown its effectiveness in terms of two desirable characteristics required.

Two approximate methods based on mechanism analysis suitable for seismic assessment/design of structural concrete are reviewed. The methods involve use of equal energy concept or equal displacement concept along with appropriate patterns of inelastic deformations to relate structure's maximum lateral displacement to member and plastic deformations. One of these methods (Clough's method), defined here as a ductility-based approach, is examined in detail and a modification for its improvement is suggested. The modification is based on estimation of maximum inelastic displacement using inelastic design response spectra (IDRS) as an alternative to using equal energy concept. The IDRS for demand displacement ductilities are developed for a single degree of freedom model subjected to several accelerograms as functions of response modification factor (R), damping ratios, and strain hardening. The suggested revised methodology involves estimation of R as the ratio of elastic strength demand to code level demand, and determination of design base shear using $R_{design}{\leq}R$ and maximum displacement, determination of plastic displacement using IDRS and subsequent local plastic deformations. The methodology is demonstrated for the case of a 10-story precast wall panel building.

Accurate peak response estimation of a seismically excited structure with frictional damping system (FDS) is very difficult since the structure with FDS shows nonlinear behavior dependent on the structural period, loading characteristics, and relative magnitude between the frictional force and the excitation load. Previous studies have estimated the peak response of the structure with FDS by replacing a nonlinear system with an equivalent linear one or by employing the response spectrum obtained based on nonlinear time history and statistical analysis. In case that earthquake excitation is defined probabilistically, corresponding response of the structure with FDS becomes to have probabilistic distribution. In this study, nonlinear time history analyses were performed for the structure with FDS subjected to artificial earthquake excitation generated using Kanai-Tajimi filter. An equation for the probability density function (PDF) of the displacement response is proposed by adapting the PDF of the normal distribution. Coefficients of the proposed PDF are obtained by regression of the statistical distribution of the time history responses. Finally, the correlation between the resulting PDFs and statistical response distribution is investigated.
