The present paper provides experimental J estimation equation for the circumferential through-wall cracked pipe under four-point bending, based on the load-crack opening displacement (COD) record. Based on the limit analysis and the kinematically admissible rigid-body rotation field, the plastic ${\eta}$-factor for the load-COD record is derived and is compared with that for the load-load line displacement record. Comparison with the J results from detailed elastic-plastic finite element (FE) analysis shows that the proposed method based on the load-COD record provides reliable J estimates even for shallow cracks, whereas the conventional approach based on the load-load line displacement record gives erroneous results for shallow cracks. Thus, the proposed J estimation method could be recommended for testing the circumferential through-wall cracked pipe, particularly with shallow cracks.

This paper presents field study and numerical modeling results for a single-cell low-fill concrete box culvert under a flexible pavement subjected to traffic loading. The culvert in the field test was instrumented with displacement transducers to capture the deformations resulting from different combinations of static and traffic loads. A low-boy truck with a known axle configuration and loads was used to apply seven static load combinations and traffic loads at different speeds. Deflections under the culvert roof were measured during loading. Soil and pavement samples were obtained by drilling operation on the test site. The properties of the soil and pavement layers were determined in the laboratory. A 3-D numerical model of the culvert was developed using a finite difference program FLAC3D. Linear elastic models were used for the pavement layers and soil. The numerical results with the material properties determined in the laboratory were compared with the field test results. The observed deflections in the field test were generally smaller under moving loads than static loads. The maximum deflections measured during the static and traffic loads were 0.6 mm and 0.41 mm respectively. The deflections computed by the numerical method were in good agreement with those observed in the field test. The deflection profiles obtained from the field test and the numerical simulation suggest that the traffic load acted more like a concentrated load distributed over a limited area on the culvert. Elastic models for culverts, pavement layers, and surrounding soil are appropriate for numerical modeling of box culverts under loading for load rating purposes.

PURPOSES: The objective of this study is to analyze and evaluate the behavior of orthotropic steel bridge deck pavement using three-dimensional finite element analysis and full-scale wheel load testing. METHODS: Since the layer thickness and material properties used in the bridge deck pavement are different from its condition, it is very difficult to measure and access the behavior of bridge deck pavement in the field. To solve this problem, the full-scale wheel load testing was conducted on the PSMA/Mastic bridge deck pavement and the deflection of bridge deck and horizontal tensile strain on top of pavement were measured under the loading condition. Three-dimensional finite element analysis was conducted to predict the behavior of bridge deck pavement and the predicted deflection and tensile strain values are compared with measured values from the wheel loading testing. RESULTS: Test results showed that the predicted deflections are 10% lower than measured ones and the error between predicted and measured horizontal tensile strain values is less than 2% in the critical location. CONCLUSIONS: The fact indicates that the proposed the analysis is found to be accurate for estimating the behavior of bridge deck pavements.

현존하는 교량의 실제적인 거동에 대한 보다 정확한 예측방법의 개발은 보수보강이 필요한 교량에 예산이 집중될 수 있도록 하여 교량운영의 경제성 및 안전성 측면에서 매우 중요하다. 특히 교량의 형태와 설치 지역의 활하중의 특성을 고려하며 활하중에 교량이 반응하는 실제적인 거동을 파악하여 실제적인 교량의 내하력 평가 이외에도 평가대상 교량의 선정 및 평가의 우선순위를 결정하여 교량의 유지 보수에 사용되는 예산의 보다 효율적인 집행을 가능하게 할 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 교량 현장실험에서 얻어지는 결과를 신뢰성 해석에 반영하여 보다 실제적인 교량 안전성 평가의 방법론을 연구하였다. 17개의 강거더 교량에 대해 기존의 교량 실험 결과를 토대로 교량의 내하력을 평가하기 위하여 2단계의 신뢰성 해석을 수행하였다. 우선 대상교량에 대해 설계에 사용된 계수 및 공칭강도를 이용하여 신뢰성 해석을 수행하였으며 2단계 신뢰성 해석에서는 교량 실험 결과를 신뢰성 해석에 포함하였다. 해석 결과를 비교해 본 결과 교량실험을 통한 각종 구조적 계수의 불확실성 제거를 통해 교량의 안전성을 저해하지 않고도 대상 교량의 신뢰성이 대폭 증가하는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

An accelerated fatigue test is essentially required to maintain the reliability of the actual structures of KTX under operation conditions. However, actual fatigue life cannot be obtained because the conventional fatigue tests are not adequate to the real load conditions. Moreover foreign component makers have not provided data of the loading stresses (S) versus cycles at the failure (N). In this study, we suggested a deduction method of the S-N curve for establishing an accelerating test under various load levels. Load history was acquired from the field tests. A Rainflow method was used on the cycle counting of the field load data. After that, an S-N curve was obtained through the iteration process under the condition that the damage index satisfies to 1 in the Miner's rule. The deduced S-N curve was applied to the performance evaluation of Korean-made sealed knuckles compared with imports.

본 연구에서는 강거더 연속교에 대해 국내외 설계기준에 규정되어 있는 활하중으로 인한 충격계수를 실험을 통해 검증하였다. 대부분의 도로교의 설계기준에서는 도로교의 경우 충격계수를 약 0.3 정도의 값으로 규정하고 있으나, 연속교의 경우에는 명확한 규정 및 명시가 없는 상황이다. 그러므로 단순교에 적용되는 충격계수를 연속교에 동일하게 적용하는 것이 일반적이다. 이 연구에서는 현장실험을 통해 연속교의 충격계수가 단순교에 적용되는 경우와 같이 사용될 수 있는지를 검증하였다. 현장실험 결과 얻어진 충격계수는 2차선 교량에서 1대의 만재트럭이 통과했을 경우 가장 하중이 많이 작용한 거더에서 0.2 이내의 충격계수가 계측되었으며, 2개의 차선을 통시에 만재트럭이 통과한 경우 그 충격계수는 0.05 이내의 값을 얻었다.

In recent days, the application of ultrasonics has been increased in the field of engineering and medicine. The ultrasonic hardness tester to apply the principle of contact compliance method is entirely different from hardness tester in the past and in the practical use, the more pre- cisive measurement is required because it has a slight change of hardness value due to the difference of resonance frequency. Therefore, in this study, as one type of applicative transducers which can detect the optimum pressure load, ring type load cell was used in the measurement of ultrasonic hardness. From experimental results, it was compared ultrasonic hardness testing method with the other hardness testing methods. Also, the measurement error of ultrasonic hardness tester could be measured within .+-. 0.5 HRC F.S. in the case of 3.0Kg pressure load.

Many structural evaluation procedures of road and airfield pavements use the Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) as a critical element of non-destructive deflection testing. FWD is a trailer mounted device that provides accurate data on pavement response to dynamic wheel loads. A dynamic load is generated by dropping a mass from a variable height onto a loading plate. The magnitude of the load and the pavement deflection are measured by a load celt and geophones. And database concerning pavement damage should be enhanced to analyze loss of thickness asphalt layer caused from the plastic deformation of pavement structure, such as cracking or rutting. The prototype FWD is developed, which consists of chassis system, hydraulic loading system, data acquisition and analysis system. This system subsequently merged to from automation management system and is then validated and updated to produce a working FWD which can actually be used in the field.

For the structural integrity of large and complex structures such as railway vehicle, the in-field diagnosis of mechanical properties of the structures is needed, and especially, the mechanical characteristics of the weldment must be carefully evaluated. But, conventional standard testing methods having destructive procedures are not applicable to in-field assessment of mechanical property variations within weldment because they needs the limitations of specimen size and geometry. In this paper, to overcome this problems, the advanced indentation technique (AIS) is introduced for simple and non-destructive/in-field testing of weldment of industrial structures. This test measures indentation load-depth curve during indentation and analyzes the mechanical properties related to deformation and fracture. First of all, flow properties such as yield strength, tensile strength and work hardening index can be evaluated through the analysis of the deformation behavior beneath the spherical indenter. Additionally, case studies of advanced indentation techniques are introduced.
