The dynamic displacement is considered to be an important indicator of structural safety, and becomes an indispensable part of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system for high-speed railway bridges. This paper proposes an indirect strain based dynamic displacement reconstruction methodology for high-speed railway box girders. For the typical box girders under eccentric train load, the plane section assumption and elementary beam theory is no longer applicable due to the bend-torsion coupling effects. The monitored strain was decoupled into bend and torsion induced strain, pre-trained multi-output support vector regression (M-SVR) model was employed for such decoupling process considering the sensor layout cost and reconstruction accuracy. The decoupled strained based displacement could be reconstructed respectively using box girder plate element analysis and mode superposition principle. For the transformation modal matrix has a significant impact on the reconstructed displacement accuracy, the modal order would be optimized using particle swarm algorithm (PSO), aiming to minimize the ill conditioned degree of transformation modal matrix and the displacement reconstruction error. Numerical simulation and dynamic load testing results show that the reconstructed displacement was in good agreement with the simulated or measured results, which verifies the validity and accuracy of the algorithm proposed in this paper.

The problem of earthquake induced torsion in buildings is quite old and although it has received a lot of attention in the past several decades, it is still open. This is evident not only from the variability of the pertinent provisions in various modern codes but also from conflicting results debated in the literature. Most of the conducted research on this problem has been based on very simplified, highly idealized models of eccentric one-story systems, with single or double eccentricity and with load bearing elements of the shear beam type, sized only for earthquake action. Initially, elastic models were used but were gradually replaced by inelastic models, since building response under design level earthquakes is expected to be inelastic. Code provisions till today have been based mostly on results from one-story inelastic models or on results from elastic multistory idealizations. In the past decade, however, more accurate multi story inelastic building response has been studied using the well-known and far more accurate plastic hinge model for flexural members. On the basis of such research some interesting conclusions have been drawn, revising older views about the inelastic response of buildings based on one-story simplified model results. The present paper traces these developments and presents new findings that can explain long lasting controversies in this area and at the same time may raise questions about the adequacy of code provisions based on results from questionable models. To organize this review better it was necessary to group the various publications into a number of subtopics and within each subtopic to separate them into smaller groups according to the basic assumptions and/or limitations used. Capacity assessment of irregular buildings and new technologies to control torsional motion have also been included.

단일판접합(Single Plate Connections, 이하 SPC라 함)은 단순전단접합의 일종으로 한 장의 강판을 지지부재인 기둥이나 큰보의 웨브에 공장용접하고 보를 현장고력볼트로 접합하기 때문에 시공이 간편하고, 경제성이 있어 강구조 및 합성구조에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 일반형 단일판접합부의 고력볼트는 수직 1열로 2~12개가 사용되며, 단순보의 단부에서 필요한 회전유연성을 확보하기 위하여 고력볼트직경과 구멍형태에 따라 판의 두께를 제한하여 설계한다. SPC에서 편심전단을 받는 고력볼트군의 강도를 산정할 때, 고력볼트의 전단강도나, 판의 지압강도 또는 찢김(Tear-out)강도 중 최소값에 의해 설계강도가 결정되는데, 만약 연단고력볼트의 수직연단거리에 의한 찢김에 의해 고력볼트군의 강도가 결정될 때에는 매우 보수적으로 설계된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고력볼트의 반력각도에 의한 실제 경사연단거리를 구하고 이를 근거로 설계강도를 산정하는 설계절차를 제안하였다. 편심전단을 받는 '약-판/강-고력고력볼트' 설계모델의 일반형 단일판접합부 고력볼트군 해석을 위해 탄성벡터법(EVM)과 소성법인 수간회전중심법(ICM)을 이용해 그 효과를 비교하였다. 또한 실용적이고 편리한 설계를 위하여 경사연단거리를 고려한 일반형 단일판접합부의 설계도표를 제안한다.
