High-speed railway bridge piers in seismically active area may be subjected to multiple earthquakes and then produce cumulative residual deformation. To study the cumulative residual deformation of high-speed railway bridge piers under multiple earthquakes, a nonlinear numerical analytical model with multi-DOF (MDOF) system is presented and validated against two shaking table tests in this paper. Based on the presented model, a simple supported beam bridge pier model of high-speed railway is established and used to investigate the cumulative residual deformation of high-speed railway bridge pier under mainshock-aftershock sequences and swarm type seismic sequences. The results show that the cumulative residual deformation of the bridge pier increases with earthquake number, and the increasing rates are different under different earthquake number. The residual deformation of bridge pier subjected to multiple earthquakes is accumulated and may exceed the limit of code.

The single-column pier girder bridge, due to its low engineering cost, small footprint, and aesthetic appearance, is extensively employed in urban viaducts and interchange ramps. However, its structural design makes it susceptible to eccentric loads, flexural-torsional coupling effects, and centrifugal forces, among others. To evaluate its anti-overturning performance reasonably, it is crucial to determine the reaction force of the support for the single-column pier girder bridge. However, due to the interaction between vehicle and bridge and the complexity of vibration modes, it poses a significant challenge to analyze the theory or finite element method of single-column pier girder bridges. The unit load bearing reaction coefficient method is proposed in this study to facilitate the static analysis. Numerous parameter analyses have been conducted to account for the dynamic amplification effect. The results of these analyses reveal that the dynamic amplification factor is independent of road surface roughness but is influenced by factors such as the position of the support. Based on parameter analysis, the formula of the dynamic amplification factor is derived by fitting.

The drilled pier foundation is widely used to support transmission line structures due to its simplicity of construction. When this foundation type is used in conjunction with a single shaft or H-frame structure, it is subjected to a high overturning moment, combined with modest vertical and shear loads. Since the length and diameter of drilled piers are often governed by a maximum permissible deflection, many drilled piers being installed today are very conservatively designed. In this study, Nine prototype field-tests (1/8 scale) have been conducted in order to determine the vertical and lateral resistance of drilled pier foundation for single pole structures. These test results reveal the test piers behaved essentially as rigid bodies in soil (6D) and the center of rotation of the pier were typically 0.6~0.4 of the pier depth below ground surface. Test results also show the relationship between the applied load and the deflection at the top of the pier is highly nonlinear.

This study focuses on seismic behaviour of tall piers characterized by high slender ratio. Two analysis models were developed based on elastic-plastic hinged beam element and elastic-plastic fiber beam element, respectively. The effect of the division density of elastic-plastic hinged beam element on seismic demand was discussed firstly to seek a rational analysis model for tall piers. Then structural seismic behaviour such as the formation of plastic hinges, the development of plastic zone, and the displacement at the top of the tall piers were investigated through incremental dynamic analysis. It showed that the seismic behaviour of a tall pier was quite different from that of a lower pier due to higher modes contributions. In a tall pier, an additional plastic zone may occur at the middle height of the pier with the increase of seismic excitation. Moreover, the maximum curvature reaction at the bottom section and maximum lateral displacement at the top turned out to be seriously out of phase for a tall pier due to the higher modes effect, and thus pushover analysis can not appropriately predict the local displacement capacity.

우리나라에서는 홍수로 매년 90여개 이상의 교량이 붕괴되고 있으며, 이러한 교량의 붕괴는 대부분 기초의 세굴에 기인하고 있다. 그동안 교량의 설계 및 유지관리 분야에서 세굴에 대한 교량의 건전성을 정량적으로 평가하기 위한 평가기법 개발에 관한 연구는 체계적으로 수행되지 못한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 홍수 발생 후 교각의 세굴 건전성을 평가하기 위한 긴급점검기법으로써 세굴로 인한 교각의 고유진동수 변화를 이용하기 위한 동적특성 평가실험을 수행하였다. 세굴을 모의한 확대기초 교각 모형의 동적특성 평가 실험결과 교각의 1차 모드 고유진동수를 이용하여 기초의 세굴을 평가할 수 있을 것으로 분석되었다.

2경간 연속 철도교의 종방향 거동에 영향을 미치는 여러 인자들에 대해서 연구하였다. 그 인자들로는 교각 강성의 크기, 교각의 높이, 교각기초의 크기와 교각받침의 강성을 변화시켜 그에 따른 변화양상을 살펴보았다. 그 결과 고정단 교각에서의 여러 인자들의 변화에 따른 종방향 거동의 변화가 가동단 교각에서의 변화에 따른 영향보다 크다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 받침강성을 변화시켜서 종방향 거동을 제어하는 것이 다른 인자들을 변화시키는 것보다 더 경제적이라 할 수 있다.

In this paper, a long gauge Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor system is described and long gauge FBGs are well-suited for measuring the upper parts of the bridge piers under the extremely severe movement conditions. In the experiments, we used more than 30m long FBG sensors to measure the movement of top part of the bridge piers which are separated from the main bridge by cutting the decks. With the actuator, the deck and girders were pushed and released. We checked the movement of the top of the pier while releasing the pressure of the actuator with the long gauge fiber sensor. In order to measure the movement of the upper part of the pier, the reference point must be outside of the pier. Using the optical fiber sensors, one end of the sensor is attached to the top of the pier and the other end is attached to the bottom of the next pier. The fiber sensors showed good response to the release loading and we could calculate the movement of the top part of the pear.

Hydrodynamic field alteration around a cylindrical pier using a curved vane is numerically investigated. The curved vane with various angles ranged from 10 to 220 degree is placed at the upstream of the cylindrical pier. Laminar flow is adopted in order to perform the steady-state analysis. It is found that the flow separation leads to the formation of four bubbles depending on the value of the curved vane angle. Two bubbles are located in the region between the rear of the curved vane and the leading surface of the cylindrical pier, while the remaining two bubbles are located at the wake zone behind the cylindrical pier. Numerical analysis is performed to reveal the hydrodynamic field and influence of curved vane on the formation and evolution of the bubbles. It is found that the center and size of the bubble depend mainly on the value of the curved vane angle. It is observed that the flow velocity vector shows clearly the alteration in the flow velocity direction especially at the leading surface and rear surface of the curved vane owing to the occurrence of flow separation and flow dissipation along the circumference of the vane.

본 연구에서는 교각이 설치된 미공병단의 Waterways Experiment Station (WES)의 표준 월류형 여수로에 대한 동수역학적인 흐름거동을 FLOW-3D를 이용하여 해석하였다. 모의 결과는 WES의 실험자료와 비교하였으며, 교각이 없는 월류형 여수로에 대한 2차원 모의결과와도 상호 비교하였다. 특히 교각이 설치된 월류형 여수로에서의 월류수맥과 압력분포에 대한 특성을 상세히 고찰하였다. 유량, 월류수맥 및 압력분포에 대한 모의결과, 부분적으로 WES의 실험결과와 차이가 발생하는 곳이 있으나, 대부분 그 경향이 일치하였다. 교각이 설치된 월류형 여수로에서의 주요 흐름거동을 정리하면, 첫째 교각이 위치하는 여수로 측면부에서의 수위에 비해 여수로 중앙부에서의 수위가 높고, 둘째 실제수두가 여수로의 설계수두보다 높은 경우 웨어마루 상류에서는 여수로 측면부에서 부압이 크게 발생하며 웨어마루 하류에서는 여수로 중앙부에서 부압이 크게 발생하는 것으로 밝혀졌다.
