바이모달트램(Bimodal tram)은 현행 교통체계를 해소하고자 도입되는 신형식 차량으로 버스와 지하철의 장점을 지니고 있는 시스템이다. 이러한 차량의 도입으로 인해 전용선로인 파이프트러스교가 건설 되어지는데 기존에 시공되지 않은 새로운 형식의 교량으로 이에 대한 동적응답 특성에 대한 분석이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 바이모달트램의 전용선로인 파이프 트러스교에 대하여 교량 하부에 센서를 부착하여 차량의 주행실험을 실시하였다. 또한, 실험을 통하여 신형식 교량에 대한 변위 및 최대 수직 수평가속도를 계측하여 동적응답 특성을 분석하였다. 이러한 실험결과를 바탕으로 수치해석을 실시하여 증속주행에 대한 거동을 예측하였다.

본 논문에서는 새로운 차량의 도입으로 건설되는 신형식 교량의 동적거동을 확인하기 위해 상용 유한요소 프로그램을 이용하여 해석을 실시하여 충격계수를 산정하였으며, 국내뿐만 아니라 각국에서 적용되고 있는 충격계수에 관한 설계기준을 조사하여 비교 검토하였다. 연구에서 제시되어진 교량형식은 파이프트러스 형식으로 각각 34m, 44m, 54m로 모델링하였으며 각각의 지간길이에 따른 충격계수의 영향을 산정하였다. 차량모델은 실제 교량 위를 통과하는 2축과 3축 저상굴절차량과 박영석(1997)이 제시한 147kN 덤프트럭 모델을 적용하였으며, 각 차량별로 10km/h~100km/h까지의 속도대역에 따른 충격계수를 산정하여 이에 따른 영향을 검토하였다. 또한 차량 및 지간길이에 따라 산정되어진 지간 중앙에서의 충격계수를 바탕으로 우리나라 및 외국의 설계규정과 비교 검토하였다.

In this paper, the structural characteristics of a lightweight soundproof tunnel to reduce the dead load imposed on the bridge are investigated. Subsequently, the design procedure of soundproof tunnel structures is reviewed and a design practice for the lightweight soundproof tunnel is carried out according to the reviewed procedure. Next, design compatibility for the lightweight soundproof tunnel is verified through a detailed finite element analysis. The result for evaluation of design compatibility shows that the lightweight soundproof tunnel has structural safety in structural members, welding zones and foundation parts. It is also confirmed that serviceability and buckling safety is excellent.

Nondestructive testing methods are required to assess the condition of civil structures and formulate their maintenance programs. Axial force identification is required for several structural members of truss bridges, pipe racks, and space roof trusses. An accurate evaluation of in situ axial forces supports the safety assessment of the entire truss. A considerable redistribution of internal forces may indicate structural damage. In this paper, a novel compressive force identification method for prismatic members implemented using static deflections is applied to steel beams. The procedure uses the Euler-Bernoulli beam model and estimates the compressive load by using the measured displacement along the beam's length. Knowledge of flexural rigidity of the member under investigation is required. In this study, the deflected shape of a compressed steel beam is subjected to an additional vertical load that was short-term measured in several laboratory tests by using fiber Bragg grating-differential settlement measurement (FBG-DSM) sensors at specific cross sections along the beam's length. The accuracy of midspan deflections offered by the FBG-DSM sensors provided excellent force estimations. Compressive load detection accuracy can be improved if substantial second-order effects are induced in the tests. In conclusion, the proposed method can be successfully applied to steel beams with low slenderness under real conditions.

Distressed structures require necessary remedial measures in order to restore their original structural properties like strength and stiffness. Validating the effectiveness of the proposed qualitative remedial measure experimentally is of utmost importance as there is no well-established analytical method to verify the effectiveness of the same quantitatively. Prototype testing which would have been the best option for this purpose would not only prove costly but also be associated with numerous practical difficulties; hence model testing is resorted as the only option for the purpose. This paper presents one such typical experimental study on the structural behavior of a distressed bridge, mainly observed in the form of prominent tilt in the bearing plate in transverse and longitudinal direction on downstream side. The main focus of the proposed experimental investigation is to assess the structural behavior particularly the load carrying capacity. The extent of deformation of some models with specific structural arrangements and some models with specific need based remedial measures were also studied. This study also assessed the contribution of each remedial measure towards restoration individually and collectively.
