This study presents a optimization of structure, in which constraints contain the conditions of stress and serviceability, while the sequential linear programming method (SLP) is used as a rational approach. The optimum design results contained on the limit state constraints are compared with those obtained by the only stress and ministry of construction enacted standard plans. A simple slab bridge is analysed numerically for illustration of the structural optimization. It may be asserted that serviceability constraints is very important to a structure design.

This paper aims for proposed the deflection limit on vibration serviceability of high-speed railway bridges considering the exposed time duration when a train passes a railway bridge. For this purpose, bridge-train transfer function was derived and bridge-train interaction analysis was performed by using the derived function. The vertical acceleration signals of passenger cars obtained from bridge-train interaction analysis were compared with them from the bridge-train transfer function by moving constant force analysis. Therefore it was estimated possible to induce the comfort deflection limit of railway bridge by using bridge-train transfer function. The deflections by moving force of single span bridge and continuous bridge were assumed as sine and haversine wave. The deflection limit on vibration serviceability of high-speed railway bridges considering the exposed time duration can be expanded using bridge-train transfer function and bridge comfort limit considering serviceability due to bridge vibration. And it was compared to other allowable deflection limits of railway bridge design specifications.

지진격리교량은 내진설계가 도입된 이후 실무에서 많이 설계, 시공되고 있으나 현재 실무에서 제시하고 있는 설계결과는 불필요하게 높은 기능수행수준과 취성파괴메커니즘으로 내진설계개념에 부합하는 설계라 할 수 없다. 이는 기존의 설계관행인 하부구조의 과다한 강성과 내진설계방식의 인식부족에 기인한 것이다. 이 연구에서는 기존의 설계관행에 의해 설계된 지진격리교량을 선정하고, 동일한 교량에 격리받침 대신 강재받침을 사용한 강재받침교량을 설정하여 비교내진설계를 수행하였으며, 이로부터 내진설계에서 요구되는 성능수준을 확보하기 위한 각 교량의 내진설계절차를 제시하였다. 강재받침교량에 비해 지진격리교량은 시산법과 반복해석을 적용해야 하는 복잡한 설계절차가 요구되는 반면 상대적으로 높은 기능수행수준을 제공한다는 것을 확인하였다. 그러나 강재받침교량도 하부구조 강성을 조정하면 요구되는 기능수행수준을 만족할 수 있으므로, 연성파괴메커니즘의 확보가 불가능한 경우 지진격리교량을 대안설계로 고려하는 것이 합리적인 내진설계과정이라는 것을 제시하였다.

현재 교량구조물의 진동과 관련된 규정이나 시방지침이 미비한 상태여서 장경간 교량설계시 진동사용성에 대한 검토가 전혀 수행되지 않고 있다. 본 연구는 교량의 진동사용성 평가를 위해 Meister진동감각곡선을 이용하여 동일한 지간 및 도로폭을 가진 단경간 형식별 교량에 대해 해석적인 방법으로 평가를 실시하고자 한다. 구조해석 프로그램 MIDAS를 사용하여 각 교량의 거더는 프레임 요소로 하고 슬래브는 판요소로 모델링하여 설계 차량의 이동하중을 적용하여 시간이력해석을 수행하였다. 시간 이력해석에 의한 처짐 및 가속도 진폭을 Meister의 진동감각곡선을 이용하여 교량형식별 진동사용성을 비교 평가함으로써 장경간 교량의 설계단계에서 진동사용성을 검토할 수 있는 해석적 프로세스를 제시하였고 적절한 방법임을 확인하였다.

Excessive wind-induced motion in tall buildings can cause discomfort, affect health, and disrupt the daily activities of the occupants of a building. Dynamic vibration absorbers such as the tuned mass dampers (TMDs) can be used to reduce the wind-induced motion below a specified tolerable serviceability limit state (SLS) criterion. This study investigates whether the same probability of not exceeding specified wind-induced motion levels can be achieved by torsionally sensitive structures without/with linear/nonlinear TMDs subjected to partially correlated wind forces, if they are designed to just meet the same SLS criterion. For the analyses, different structures and the uncertainty in the response, wind load and perception of motion is considered. Numerical results indicate that for structures that are designed or retrofitted without or with optimum linear TMDs and satisfying the same SLS criterion, their probability of exceeding the considered criterion is very consistent, if the inherent correlation between the wind forces is considered in design. However, this consistency deteriorates if nonlinear TMDs are employed. Furthermore, if the correlation is ignored in the design, in many cases a slightly unconservative design, as compared to the designed by considering correlation, is achieved.

This paper describes recent developments in composite construction and their effect on codified design procedures in the UK. Areas of particular interest include: rules on shear connection, design of beams with web openings, serviceability limits, such as floor vibrations, and fire safe design. The design of cellular beams with regular circular openings now includes generalized rules for web-post buckling, and for the development of in-plane moment in the web-post for asymmetric sections. Closed solutions for the maximum shear force due to limits on web-post bending or buckling are presented. The fire resistance of cellular beams is also dependent on the temperature of the web-post, and for closely spaced openings. It is necessary to increase the thickness of fire protection to the web. For serviceability design of beams, deflection limits and natural frequency and response factor for vibration are presented. It may be necessary to use stricter limits for certain applications.

The response of multi-story building structures to lateral loads, mainly due to earthquake and wind, is investigated for preliminary design purposes. Emphasis is placed on structural systems consisting of rigid and braced steel frames. An attempt to gain a qualitative understanding of the influence of bending and shear stiffness distribution on the deformations of such structures is made. This is achieved by modeling the structure with a stiffness equivalent Timoshenko beam. It is observed that the conventional stiffness distribution, dictated by strength constraints, may not be the best to satisfy deflection criteria. This is particularly the case for slender structural systems with prevailing bending deformations, such as flexible braced frames. This suggests that a new approach to the design of such frames may be appropriate when serviceability governs. A pertinent strategy for preliminary design purposes is proposed.

세그먼트 설계시, 축력과 휨모멘트가 주로 고려되는 하중이다. 두개의 하중에서 축력이 모멘트 보다 상대적으로 매우 크기 때문에 전단면이 압축상태에 있으며, 이는 균열 폭을 줄이는 효과가 있다. 그러나 콘크리트 구조물의 사용성 검토에서 축력은 고려하지 않고 있기 때문에 설계는 사용성에 지배되고, 사용성을 만족시키기 위하여 소요 철근량을 증가시키게 된다. 본 논문에서는 축력이 세그먼트의 사용성에 미치는 영향을 시험과 단면해석을 통하여 분석하였다. 세그먼트에 대한 시험을 수행하였으며, 초기균열저항성능에 대하여 고찰하였다. 분석결과 사용성 분석에서 축력을 고려함으로서 더욱 합리적인 설계가 가능한 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

This study was performed to propose the minimum thickness of RC slab that satisfies constructibility, fatigue safety, and serviceability requirements such as deflection control. Three different minimum thicknesses are calculated using concrete shear and rebar fatigue formulas, and deflection control, respectively, and checked by constructiblity. The maximum of these three minimum thicknesses is proposed as the minimum thickness of RC slab, which shows that the minimum thickness requirement of RC slab from Korean Bridge Design Code can be thinner than now.

In this study, on-site testing was carried out to investigate the vibration serviceability of a composite steel-bar truss slab with steel girder system. Impulse excitations (heel-drop and jumping) and steady-state motion (walking and running) were performed to capture the primary vibration parameters (natural frequency and damping ratio) and distribution of peak acceleration. The composite floor possesses low frequency (<8.3Hz) and damping ratio (<2.47%). Based on experimental, theoretical, and numerical analyses on fundamental natural frequency, the boundary condition of SCSS (i.e., three edges simply supported and one edge clamped) is deemed more comparable substitutive for the investigated composite floor. Walking and running excitations by one person (single excitation) were considered to evaluate the vibration serviceability of the composite floor. The measured acceleration results show a satisfactory vibration perceptibility. For design convenience and safety, a crest factor β_rp describing the ratio of peak acceleration to root-mean-square acceleration induced from the walking and running excitations is proposed. The comparisons of the modal parameters determined by walking and running tests reveal the interaction effect between the human excitation and the composite floor.
