Strong winds threaten the safety of vehicles on long-span bridges considerably, which could force traffic authorities to reduce speed limits or even close these bridges to traffic. In order to maintain the safe and economic operation of a bridge, a reasonable evaluation of the driving safety on that bridge is needed. This paper aims at carrying outdriving safety analyses for three types of vehicles on a long-span bridge in crosswinds by considering the aerodynamic interference between the bridge and the vehicles based on the wind-vehicle-bridge coupling vibration analysis. Firstly, CFD numerical simulations along with previously obtained wind tunnel testing results were used to determine the aerodynamic force coefficients of the three types of vehicles on the bridge. Secondly, the dynamic responses of the bridge and the vehicles under crosswinds were simulated, and based on those, the driving safety analyses for the three types of vehicles on the bridge were carried out for both cases considering and not considering the aerodynamic interference between the vehicles and the bridge. Finally, the effect of the aerodynamic interference on the safety of the vehicles was investigated. The results show that the aerodynamic interference between the bridge and the vehicles not only affectsthe accident critical wind speed but also the accident type for all three types of vehicles. Such effects are also different for each of the three types of vehicles being studied.

최근 철도의 소음, 진동에 대한 사회적 관심이 증가하면서, 철도 진동을 효과적으로 줄일 수 있는 플로팅 슬래브 궤도의 적용이 활발히 이루어 지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 플로팅 슬래브 궤도의 동적 거동을 보다 정확히 이해하기 위하여 실모형 실내 실험을 통해 정적 거동과 시스템 고유 진동수 부근의 저주파 대역에서 플로팅 슬래브 궤도의 동적 거동을 분석함으로써 플로팅 슬래브 궤도의 설계의 적정성과 설계에 적용되는 해석모델의 유효성을 입증하고자 하였다. 실험 및 유한요소 해석 결과에 따르면 플로팅 슬래브 궤도는 강체 모드 고유진동수보다 휨모드 고유 진동수에 가까운 대역에서 탁월 주파수가 나타나며 변형 형상도 휨모드가 가장 지배적인 모드가 되므로, 플로팅 슬래브 궤도의 설계 시에는 슬래브의 휨강성과 조인트 및 단부의 경계조건 등을 고려해야 한다. 또한 Kelvin-Voigt 모델을 사용한 2차원 유한요소 해석모델에 의한 해석 결과는 정적 및 동적 처짐, 하중 전달율 등 실험결과와 매우 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타나 플로팅 슬래브 궤도의 설계에 활용하기에 충분한 신뢰성을 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

콘크리트궤도가 도입됨에 따라 토공노반에서의 잔류침하 억제가 중요한 사안으로 대두되고 있다. 파일슬래브구조는 침하억제공법으로서 슬래브는 성토하중을 분산하고 파일은 분산된 하중을 지지층까지 직접 전달시켜 충분히 지지력을 확보하여 침하를 방지한다. 철도노반에 적용시 하중전달특성은 매우 우수하지만, 주행하중에 대한 진동전달 및 상호작용에 대한 특성이 규명되지 않았다. 구조적 특성상 이동하는 열차하중에 의해 발생한 진동은 슬래브를 반사층으로 하여 상부성토체 내에서 다중반사되어 전파할 가능성이 있는데 이는 열차의 주행안정성과 승차감에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 파일슬래브가 설치된 철도노반에서 열차 주행에 의해 발생되는 진동에너지의 전파특성을 평가하기 위하여 인공적인 충격하중과 고속열차의 실측하중을 사용하여 노반구조별 진동전파특성을 시간영역 및 주파수 영역에서 해석하였다. 검토 결과, 파일슬래브 구조에서의 진동 반사효과를 확인하였으며, 적정 성토고가 확보되는 경우에는 진동에 안정적이지만 성토고가 낮은 경우에는 저주파 영역의 진동에너지가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

노후 교량의 안전성을 평가하는 방법에 있어서 동특성과 처짐은 구조계의 강성과 직접 연관이 있으며, 처짐의 경우에는 교량 사용자가 직접 감지할 수 있는 물리량으로 가장 중요한 인자이다. 하지만 교량의 처짐을 측정하기 위해서는 교량의 하부에 처짐계를 설치하고 교통 차단 및 재하시험을 실시해야 하는 번거로움이 있어 교량의 환경에 따라서 비용이 증가하거나 측정이 불가능한 문제들이 발생하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 처짐계의 설치 없이 가속도계만을 이용하고 재하시험 없이 상시 진동을 이용하여 교량의 처짐을 측정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 상시 진동을 이용한 교량 동특성 및 처짐 분석을 위해 단순한 연산으로 빠른 분석이 가능하다고 알려진 TDD 기법을 이용하여 교량의 모드형상과 고유진동수를 추출하였으며, 유연도 분석을 통하여 교량의 단위하중 처짐을 분석하여 정적 처짐까지 산정하였다. 본 제안 기술의 검증을 위해 공용중 교량인 C대교(사장교)에 적용하여 모드형상, 고유진동수, 정적 처짐 분석을 수행하였으며 재하시험 실측값과 구조해석 자료와 비교하였다. 그 결과 모드형상 및 고유진동수는 0.42~1.13 %, 중앙경간에서의 최대 처짐은 3.58 %의 오차율을 확인하였다. 따라서 제안기술은 처짐계의 설치가 어려워 실측이 불가능한 교량의 처짐을 추정하여 설계값 및 해석값 대비 처짐 발생량 비교로 교량의 안전성을 간접적으로 파악할 수 있는 근거 자료로 활용 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Recently, noise has been regarded as one of the most notorious and frequent environmental pollutions which can be often encountered not only in the living space but also in the industrial site. Studies on physiological and psychological effects of long-term noise exposure to human being have commanded the public interest on noise issues. Since environmental noises such as traffic noise and construction noise is mainly flowed through the open window, it is necessary to develop the active noise control system to reduce it inside the building. Although control speakers and microphones for the noise signal measurement in the control region are essential for the conventional active noise control methods, it is impossible to implement them in the control region in the building environment because the control region is the living quarter and they may hinder activities of the residents. Therefore, we proposed the active window system to reduce the exterior noise flowed through the open window with microphones installed outside the window and control speakers installed at the frame of the window. To confirm the performance of the proposed active window, we carried out the simulation and experiment using active window system with 8 control speakers. Simulation results showed the noticeable noise reduction effect inside the control region within the frequency range without the spatial aliasing. Experimental result showed that the total acoustic potential energy inside the room of the scale model is reduced to about 10dB within the interest of frequency range.

The Ting Kau Bridge in Hong Kong is a cable-stayed bridge comprising two main spans and two side spans. The bridge deck is supported by three towers, an end pier and an abutment. Each of the three towers consists of a single reinforced concrete mast strengthened by transverse cables and struts. The bridge deck is supported by four inclined planes of cables emanating from anchorages at the tower tops. In view of the heavy traffic on the bridge, and threats from typhoons and earthquakes originated in areas nearby, the dynamic behaviour of long-span cable-supported bridges in the region is always an important consideration in their design. Baseline finite element models of various levels of sophistication have been built not only to match the bridge geometry and cable forces specified on the as-constructed drawings but also to be calibrated using the vibration measurement data captured by the Wind and Structural Health Monitoring System. This paper further describes the analysis of axle loading data, as well as the generation of random axle loads and simulation of vibrations of the bridge using the finite element models. Various factors affecting the vehicular loading on the bridge will also be examined.

The updated finite element model of K$\ddot{o}$m$\ddot{u}$rhan Highway Bridge on the Firat River located on the $51^{st}$ km of Elazi$\breve{g}$-Malatya highway is obtained by using analytical and experimental results. The 2D and 3D finite element model of the bridge is created by using SAP2000 structural analyses software, and the dynamic characteristics of the bridge are determined analytically. The experimental measurements are carried out by Operational Modal Analysis Method under traffic induced vibrations and the dynamic characteristics are obtained experimentally. The vibration data are gathered from the both box girder and the deck of the bridge, separately. Due to the expansion joint in the middle of the bridge, special measurement points are selected when experimental test setups constitute. Measurement duration, frequency span and effective mode number are determined by considering similar studies in literature. The Peak Picking method in the frequency domain is used in the modal identification. At the end of the study, analytical and experimental dynamic characteristic are compared with each other and the finite element model of the bridge is updated by changing some uncertain parameters such as material properties and boundary conditions. Maximum differences between the natural frequencies are reduced from 10% to 2%, and a good agreement is found between natural frequencies and mode shapes after model updating.

Active window system which can reduce the environmental noises, such as traffic noise and construction noise, from an open window into a room was proposed in the previous works. The key idea of the proposed active window system was that the control sources are approximately collocated with the primary noise source in terms of the acoustic power for global noise reduction throughout the interior room. Moreover, because it is important not to intrude into the living space in the building environment, no error sensors were used and an open-loop control method using control sources at the window frame and the reference sensors outside the room was used for the proposed system. The open-loop control gain was calculated by the interior room model assumed as the semi-infinite space, and the interior sound field was estimated by Rayleigh integral equation under the baffled window model assumption. However, windows with a finite thickness should were considered for the calculation of the open-loop control gain of the active window system since these are representative of most window cases. Therefore, the finite thickness window model based on the Sgard's model was derived and the open-loop control gain using the interior sound field estimated by that model was calculated for active window system. To compare the performance of these two models, a scale-model experiment was performed in an anechoic chamber according to noise source directions. Experimental results showed that the performance for the thickness window model is better than the baffled window model as the angle with respect to the perpendicular direction is larger.

In this study, a field bridge test was conducted to find the dynamic properties of cable supported bridges with resilient-friction base isolation systems (R-FBI). Various ambient vibration tests were performed to estimate dynamic properties of a test bridge using trucks in a non-transportation state before opening of the bridge and by ordinary traffic loadings about one year later after opening of the bridge. The dynamic properties found from the results of the tests were compared with an analysis model. From the result of the ambient vibration tests of the cable supported bridge with R-FBI, it was confirmed that the dynamic properties were sensitive to the stiffness of the R-FBI in the bridge, and the seismic analysis model of the test bridge using the effective stiffness of the R-FBI was insufficient for reflecting the dynamic behavior of the bridge. In the case of cable supported bridges, the seismic design must follow the "Korean Highway Bridge Design Code (Limit State Design) for Cable supported bridges." Therefore, in order to reflect the actual behavior characteristics of the R-FBI installed on cable-supported bridges, an improved seismic design procedure should be proposed.
