PURPOSES : Climbing lanes on expressways managed by the Korea Expressway Corporation (KEC) have been hot potatoes due to conflicts between slow-moving vehicles such as trucks and other vehicles at the merging section as well as the less popularity with the slow-moving vehicles. In order to resolve such problems, KEC has altered existing climbing lanes to passing-type climbing lanes in 1999. The new type of climbing lanes showed an apparent improvement in mobility. For example, the speeds of vehicles using both climbing lane and other lanes improved a lot. However, there has been no clear evidence about improved safety. METHODS : This research effort was initiated to evaluate the safety of the new passing-type climbing lanes using the comparison-group(CG) method based on three-year-long traffic accident data sets before and after the change, respectively. RESULTS : The passing-type climbing lanes showed twice increased traffic accidents even though the traffic accidents on old type climbing lanes increased 1.1% during the same periods. In addition, in-depth study, the merging area of the passing-type climbing lanes was found out to be the weakest section where 43.8% traffic accidents out of total traffic accidents happened. It is noted that the merging area of the old type climbing showed only 25.0% traffic accidents. CONCLUSIONS : The new passing-type climbing lanes were found to be weak in terms of safety when compared with the old type climbing lanes. Especially, the merging area should be improved to reduce the risk of traffic conflicts between slow-moving vehicles and other vehicles.

Tolerable vertical displacement of a bridge is dependent on the superstructure-type, slope, span, and etc.. In the design stage, however, resultant force of cross section is examined supposed that the settlement is 1 cm at the bearing point. And the 1cm is sometimes considered as if the criteria of allowable foundation settlement. It is needed to establish the criteria of the tolerable displacement for the small and middle bridges which are widely used in domestic area. The design data of domestic bridges including expressway bridges were collected and analyzed according to the types of superstructures and foundations. And numerical simulations were conducted for RC rigid frame bridges, PSC girder bridges, IPC girder bridges, PSC box girder bridges, and steel box girder bridges to examine the tolerable displacements.

본 논문에서는 암석발파 유발 진동에 대한 포괄적인 추세특성을 파악하기 위하여 국내 97개의 현장에서 계측된 시험발파진동에 관한 자료를 이용하여 굴착종류(터널, 벤치굴착) 및 암석종류별로 발파진동의 특성을 조사 및 검토하였다. 계측된 자료는 주로 강원도 및 경상도 지역의 시험발파 현장으로부터 획득하였으며, 계측현장 자료의 암석종류는 화강암이 제일 많았으며 그다음으로 편마암, 석회암, 사암, 셰일 순으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통한 분석 결과, 발파진동 속도는 굴착종류(터널, 벤치)에 따라 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 터널발파에 비하여 벤치발파에 의한 진동속도가 더 크게 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 발파진동은 암석종류에 따라 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타나 향후 암석종류를 포함한 발파진동 추정식 관리가 필요할 것으로 나타났다. 이와 더불어 본 연구를 통해 얻어진 결과와 기존의 국내 발파진동 추정식에 의한 결과들과 상호 비교하였으며, 비교결과 터널발파에서 자승근식을 이용한 결과를 제외하곤 큰 차이가 나타나 향후 암반에서의 발파진동 추정과 관련하여 암석의 강도 및 절리특성, 지층분포, 굴착종류, 사용화약, 계측장비 및 방법 등의 영향을 종합적으로 반영한 더욱더 많은 연구 및 관심이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The stability forecasting of rock slope is more difficult than soil slope because catching the sign of failure in monitoring is not easy and deformation of the rock is small in failure process. But in the rock slope, there is small deformation like crack propagation in rock itself and it accumulates gradually in failure process. If it is possible to detect the small change in the rock slope, we can know the failure time exactly. Because the individual signal is gathered in the acoustic emission monitoring, it is possible to monitoring the slope if many sound signal is accumulated. Detection test of acoustic emission was performed. Uniaxial, two types of bending test, and two plane shear test were done with various cement paste sample. Wave propagation velocity of uniaxial test sample was increased with curing time. Wave Analysis give us the result that there is a AE sign signal before the failure, the AE count is suddenly increased. And frequency level 125kHz before failure is changed to level 200-250kHz after failure. In two plane shear test we can catch the AE signal and can know the failure type from wave shape. Monitoring test site is tunnel slope in Hongcheon but special signal is not collected.

The purpose of this study is to compare the bird crossing of roads by type (Expressway 1, railroad-provincial road and Highway 4) and the crossing of roads according to the size of birds. The greatest number of avian species and individuals crossing road per 10 minutes were found on railroad-provincial road ($8.96{\pm}1.92$ and $29.33{\pm}11.94$, respectively), while the lowest number of avian species and individuals were found on Expressway 1 ($2.96{\pm}1.04$ and $6.13{\pm}2.89$, respectively), which has the widest width. In addition, the number of small-sized bird (<20 cm) crossing the Expressway 1, railroad-provincial road, and Highway 4 was lower than that of the medium-sized bird (${\geq}20cm$). Current wildlife crossing structures have been focused on mammals, amphibians and reptiles, but future structures should also consider birds.

고속도로는 중장거리 지역 간을 연결하는 자동차 전용도로로 철도 및 항공 수단보다 접근성과 이동성이 우수하여 화물 수송의 중추적인 역할을 담당하고 있다. 그러나 기존의 고속도로를 이용하는 화물수송실적은 차종 구분의 혼재, 개별 화물차량의 화물적재량 파악의 어려움으로 정확한 산정에 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고속도로 온라인 데이터의 분석을 통하여 보다 신뢰성있는 화물수송실적 산정 방법론의 틀을 제시하고자 하였다. 자동요금징수시스템로부터 수집된 데이터를 활용하여 고속도로 구간별 통행실적(대·km/일)을 도출하였으며 차량제원정보데이터와 고속 및 저속축중기 데이터로부터 차종별 화물 적재 원단위(톤/대)를 도출하였다. 본 연구는 기존에 제시되고 있지 않은 고속도로 구간별, 차종별 화물수송실적을 산정하는데 주요 목적이 있으며, 개방식 영업소, 민자고속도로 등을 모두 연계한 수송실적산정방법을 제시하였다는데 기존 연구와의 차별성을 가진다.

Background: Truck driving is known as one of the occupations with the highest accident rate. This study investigates the characteristics of traffic collisions according to road types (expressway and rural road). Methods: Classifying 267 accidents into expressway and rural road, we analyzed them based on driver characteristics (age, working experience, size of employment), time characteristics (day of accident, time, weather), and accident characteristics (accident causes, accident locations, accident types, driving conditions). Results: When we compared the accidents by road conditions, no differences were found between the driver characteristics. However, from the accident characteristics, the injured person distributions were different by the road conditions. In particular, driving while drowsy is shown to be highly related with the accident characteristics. Conclusion: This study can be used as a guideline and a base line to develop a plan of action to prevent traffic accidents. It can also help to prepare formal regulations about a truck driver's vehicle maintenance and driving attitude for a precaution on road accidents.

The inverted T-type abutments are generally used in highway bridges constructed in Korea. This type of abutment is used because it has greater stability, with more pile foundations embedded in the bedrock, while simultaneously providing support for lateral earth pressure and vertical loads of superstructures. However, the cross section of inverted T-type abutments is large compared with the piers, which makes them more expensive. In addition, a differential settlement between the abutment and embankment, as well as the expansion joints, causes driving discomfort. This study evaluated the driving comfort of several types of abutments to improve driving comfort on the abutment. To achieve this objective, a traditional T-type abutment and three types of candidate abutments, namely, mechanically stabilized earth wall (MSEW) abutment supported by a shallow foundation (called "true MSEW abutment"), MSEW abutment supported by piles (called "mixed MSEW abutment"), and pile bent and integral abutment with MSEW (called "MIP abutment"), were selected to consider their design and economic feasibility. Finite element analysis was performed using the design section of the candidate abutments. Subsequently, the settlements of each candidate abutment, approach slabs, and paved surfaces of the bridges were reviewed. Finally, the driving comfort on each candidate abutment was evaluated using a vehicle dynamic simulation. The true MSEW abutment demonstrated the most excellent driving comfort. However, this abutment can cause problems with respect to serviceability and maintenance due to excessive settlements. After our overall review, we determined that the mixed MSEW and the MIP abutments are the most appropriate abutment types to improve driving comfort by taking the highway conditions in Korea into consideration.

The Incheon Bridge, which was opened to the traffic in October 2009, is an 18.4 km long sea-crossing bridge connecting the Incheon International Airport with the expressway networks around the Seoul metropolitan area by way of Songdo District of Incheon City. This bridge is an integration of several special featured bridges and the major part of the bridge consists of cable-stayed spans. This marine cable-stayed bridge has a main span of 800 m wide to cross the vessel navigation channel in and out of the Incheon Port. In waterways where ship collision is anticipated, bridges shall be designed to resist ship impact forces, and/or, adequately protected by ship impact protection (SIP) systems. For the Incheon Bridge, large diameter circular dolphins as SIP were made at 44 locations of the both side of the main span around the piers of the cable-stayed bridge span. This world's largest dolphin-type SIP system protects the bridge against the collision with 100,000 DWT tanker navigating the channel with speed of 10 knots. Diameter of the dolphin is up to 25 m. Vessel collision risk was assessed by probability based analysis with AASHTO Method-II. The annual frequency of bridge collapse through the risk analysis for 71,370 cases of the impact scenario was less than $0.5{\times}10^{-4}$ and satisfies design requirements. The dolphin is the circular sheet pile structure filled with crushed rock and closed at the top with a robust concrete cap. The structural design was performed with numerical analyses of which constitutional model was verified by the physical model experiment using the geo-centrifugal testing equipment. 3D non-linear finite element models were used to analyze the structural response and energy-dissipating capability of dolphins which were deeply embedded in the seabed. The dolphin structure secures external stability and internal stability for ordinary loads such as wave and current pressure. Considering failure mechanism, stability assessment was performed for the strength limit state and service limit state of the dolphins. The friction angle of the crushed stone as a filling material was reduced to $38^{\circ}$ considering the possibility of contracting behavior as the impact.
