근래에 들어 기존의 PSC 거더 교량 외에 다양한 형태의 교량이 개발되고 있으며, 다단계 긴장에 의한 PSC 거더교는 대표적인 예이다. 다단계 긴장 PSC 거더교는 구조적 개념에 따라 자중을 줄이고 경간을 장대화할 수 있는 장점을 갖고 있다. 그러나, 이와 같은 장대화된 보다 유연한 교량은 구조적 안전성 및 사용성을 고려한 주행열차하중에 대한 동적거동 검토가 필수적이며, 철도교량의 주행열차하중에 대한 동적성능평가를 위한 정확한 동특성 입력은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 정확한 고유진동수 및 감쇠비 추출을 위하여 25m 실물 다단계 긴장 PSC 거더를 제작하여 시공단계별 모달테스트를 수행하였다. 모달테스트를 위한 가진방법으로 기존의 충격햄머에 의한 방법 외에 디지털 콘트롤에 의한 가진기를 사용하여 보다 정확한 주파수응답 함수를 얻고자 하였다. 또한, 시공단계별 구조계 변화 및 긴장에 의한 동특성 변화를 고찰하기 위하여 시공단계별 실험을 수행하였다. 모달테스트 결과에 의한 동특성 값을 주행열차하중 해석에 적용하여 다양한 매개변수연구를 통한 철도교량 동적성능평가를 수행하였다. 동적처짐, 충격계수, 바닥판의 연직가속도, 단부꺾임각 등에 대하여 열차별, 속도별 동적해석을 수행하여 국내외 철도교량 동적성능 평가기준과 비교하였다.

Point bending is often used for cambering and curving structural steel girders. An analytical solution, applicable in the elasto-plastic range only, that relates applied loads to the desired curve was recently developed for inducing horizontal curves using four-point bending. This solution does not account for initial residual stresses and geometric imperfections built-in hot-rolled sections. This paper presents results from a full-scale test on a hot-rolled steel section curved using four-point bending. In parallel, a numerical analysis, accounting for both initial geometric imperfections and initial residual stresses, was carried out. The models were validated against the experimental results and a good agreement for lateral offset and for strain in the elasto-plastic and post-plastic ranges was achieved. The results show that the effect of initial residual stresses on deformation and strain is minimal. Finally, residual stresses due to cold bending calculated from the numerical analysis were assessed and a revised stress value for the service load design of the curved girder is proposed.

The masonry structure is constructed by cement mortar binding material of brick objects and uses reinforced hardware(connected hardware or wall tie) together when building. However, over time, the corrosion of reinforced steel and the deterioration of joint mortar as well as bricks cause the risk of collapse. In particular, when the externally decorated brick wall is installed on the concrete girder for each floor, the angle bracket is not constructed or corroded, the full-layer weight load is applied to the wall of 0.5B, which is an example of full-scale or collapse. As a result of the evaluation, it was confirmed that the performance was improved compared to the existing bracket, and we plan to carry out a real-life test and long-term performance review of the building using the bracket in the future.

A new-type of FRP-concrete composite bridge deck system is proposed and its behaviors are experimentally studied. The new-typedeck consists of FRP as a permanent form and main tension resisting member and concrete as a compression resisting member. A suitable bonding method such as silica coating is applied to the interface between FRP and concrete to ensure composite behavior. The proposed deck system uses the box-shape FRP member, while a typical FRP-concrete composite deck uses the I-shape FRP member. Theproposed deck system has inherent advantages of a FRP-concrete composite deck like corrosion free and easy construction. The new-type deck shows the equal performances compared to a previous one, and has the advantage of reducing self-weight. In this study, the static tests on 3-span FRP-concrete decks in full scale are carried out, so that load-displacement relation, stress distribution, failure mode and design criteria are analyzed. The test results show that the deflection design criterion (L/800, L: span length) is satisfied at the service load state. No concrete tensile crack occurs in the negative moment region above the main girder, regardless of no tensile reinforcement at upper concrete portion.

Condition assessment and monitoring of bridges is critical for safe passenger travel, public transportation, and efficient freight. In monitoring, displacement measurement capability is important to keep track of performance of bridge, in part or as whole. One of the most important parts of a bridge is the expansion joint, which accommodates continuous cyclic thermal expansion of the whole bridge. Though expansion joint is critical for bridge performance, its inspection and monitoring has not been considered significantly because the monitoring requires long-term data using cost intensive equipment. Recently, a wireless smart sensor network (WSSN) has drawn significant attention for transportation infrastructure monitoring because of its merits in low cost, easy installation, and versatile on-board computation capability. In this paper, a rapid wireless displacement monitoring system, wireless hybrid sensor (WHS), has been developed to monitor displacement of expansion joints of bridges. The WHS has been calibrated for both static and dynamic displacement measurement in laboratory environment, and deployed on an in-service highway bridge to demonstrate rapid expansion joint monitoring. The test-bed is a continuous steel girder bridge, the Founders Bridge, in East Hartford, Connecticut. Using the WHS system, the static and dynamic displacement of the expansion joint has been measured. The short-term displacement trend in terms of temperature is calculated. With the WHS system, approximately 6% of the time has been spent for installation, and 94% of time for the measurement showing strong potential of the developed system for rapid displacement monitoring.

Despite recent breakthroughs in deep learning and computer vision fields, the pixel-wise identification of tiny objects in high-resolution images with complex disturbances remains challenging. This study proposes a modified U-net for tiny crack segmentation in real-world steel-box-girder bridges. The modified U-net adopts the common U-net framework and a novel Self-Attention-Self-Adaption (SASA) neuron as the fundamental computing element. The Self-Attention module applies softmax and gate operations to obtain the attention vector. It enables the neuron to focus on the most significant receptive fields when processing large-scale feature maps. The Self-Adaption module consists of a multiplayer perceptron subnet and achieves deeper feature extraction inside a single neuron. For data augmentation, a grid-based crack random elastic deformation (CRED) algorithm is designed to enrich the diversities and irregular shapes of distributed cracks. Grid-based uniform control nodes are first set on both input images and binary labels, random offsets are then employed on these control nodes, and bilinear interpolation is performed for the rest pixels. The proposed SASA neuron and CRED algorithm are simultaneously deployed to train the modified U-net. 200 raw images with a high resolution of 4928 × 3264 are collected, 160 for training and the rest 40 for the test. 512 × 512 patches are generated from the original images by a sliding window with an overlap of 256 as inputs. Results show that the average IoU between the recognized and ground-truth cracks reaches 0.409, which is 29.8% higher than the regular U-net. A five-fold cross-validation study is performed to verify that the proposed method is robust to different training and test images. Ablation experiments further demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed SASA neuron and CRED algorithm. Promotions of the average IoU individually utilizing the SASA and CRED module add up to the final promotion of the full model, indicating that the SASA and CRED modules contribute to the different stages of model and data in the training process.

철근의 부식은 철근콘크리트 교량 바닥판의 성능 저하에 큰 요인으로 작용한다. FRP는 비부식성 재료이기 때문에 이를 활용하여 보강근을 개발하려는 노력이 이루어지고 있다. 여러 종류의 FRP 보강근이 개발되었으나 아직 활용 실적은 많지 않은 상황이다. 그 이유로는 FRP 보강 콘크리트 구조물에 대한 단/장기 검증 데이터가 부족하기 때문이다. 이 연구에서는 GFRP 보강 바닥판에 대한 피로성능을 관찰하기 위해서 길이 4000 mm, 폭이 3000 mm, 높이 240 mm인 실제 크기의 교량 바닥판을 도로교설계기준을 준용하여 제작한 후 실험을 실시하였다. 하부 보강비를 변수로 설정하였으며 DB-24 하중이 바닥판 중앙에 집중 작용하는 것으로 실험을 실시하였다. 사용하중의 3.5, 4.5, 5.0배에 해당하는 다양한 하중을 2백 만회 이상 반복 재하하여 GFRP 보강 바닥판의 피로성능을 관찰하였다. 실험 결과 거더가 횡구속된 GFRP 보강 바닥판의 최대성능은 보강근비에는 민감하지 않았고, 피로성능은 보강비보다는 적용하중의 크기에 민감하며, 바닥판이 200만회 이상 반복재하에 저항하기 위해서는 재하되는 집중하중의 크기는 최대하중의 58% 수준 이하이어야 하며, 이 연구의 실험 대상 GFRP 보강 바닥판의 피로수명은 철근 콘크리트 바닥판의 수명 예측값보다는 다소 낮은 값을 나타내었고 FRP 보강 콘크리트 바닥판의 기존 예측값보다는 높은 값을 나타내었다.

Incheon Bridge, 18.4 km long sea-crossing bridge, will be opened to the traffic in October 2009 and this will be the new landmark of the gearing up north-east Asia as well as the largest & longest bridge of Korea. Incheon Bridge is the integrated set of several special featured bridges including a magnificent cable-stayed girder bridge which has a main span of 800 m width to cross the navigation channel in and out of the Port of Incheon. Incheon Bridge is making an epoch of long-span bridge designs thanks to the fully application of the AASHTO LRFD (load & resistance factor design) to both the superstructures and the substructures. A state-of-the-art of the geotechnologies which were applied to the Incheon Bridge construction project is introduced. The most Large-diameter drilled shafts were penetrated into the bedrock to support the colossal superstructures. The bearing capacity and deformational characteristics of the foundations were verified through the world's largest static pile load test. 8 full-scale pilot piles were tested in both offshore site and onshore area prior to the commencement of constructions. Compressible load beyond 30,000 tonf pressed a single 3 m diameter foundation pile by means of bi-directional loading method including the Osterberg cell techniques. Detailed site investigation to characterize the subsurface properties had been carried out. Geotextile tubes, tied sheet pile walls, and trestles were utilized to overcome the very large tidal difference between ebb and flow at the foreshore site. 44 circular-cell type dolphins surround the piers near the navigation channel to protect the bridge against the collision with aberrant vessels. Each dolphin structure consists of the flat sheet piled wall and infilled aggregates to absorb the collision impact. Geo-centrifugal tests were performed to evaluate the behavior of the dolphin in the seabed and to verify the numerical model for the design. Rip-rap embankments on the seabed are expected to prevent the scouring of the foundation. Prefabricated vertical drains, sand compaction piles, deep cement mixings, horizontal natural-fiber drains, and other subsidiary methods were used to improve the soft ground for the site of abutments, toll plazas, and access roads. Light-weight backfill using EPS blocks helps to reduce the earth pressure behind the abutment on the soft ground. Some kinds of reinforced earth like as MSE using geosynthetics were utilized for the ring wall of the abutment. Soil steel bridges made of corrugated steel plates and engineered backfills were constructed for the open-cut tunnel and the culvert. Diverse experiences of advanced designs and constructions from the Incheon Bridge project have been propagated by relevant engineers and it is strongly expected that significant achievements in geotechnical engineering through this project will contribute to the national development of the longspan bridge technologies remarkably.
