For the seismic analysis of typical roadway bridges provisions are given in most codes for analysis models, which describes however only fundamental modelling methods according to the basic theories of structural dynamics. In practice even conventional non-seismic analysis models, separate super- and substructure models, are applied, which are not adequate because of neglecting connection elements. In this study three typical roadway bridges, a Steel box bridge, a PC beam bridge and a PC box bridge are selected and simple models integrating super- and substructure as well as connection elements are given. The simple models are composed with frame elements with lumped masses representing stiffness and mass characteristics of the selected bridges. To check the properness of the simple models, analysis results with the simple models are compared with those obtained with detailed models in view of bridge failure mechanisms. It is proved that the simple models can be used in the preliminary design phase fur the determination of failure mechanisms of typical roadway bridges.

A previous study evaluated the seismic response of typical multi-span simply supported (MSSS) and multi-span continuous (MSC) steel-girder bridges in the central and southeastern United States. The results showed that the bridges were vulnerable to damage resulting from impact between decks, and large ductility demands on nonductile columns. Furthermore, fixed and expansion bearings were likely to fail during strong ground motion. In this paper, several retrofit measures to improve the seismic performance of typical multi-span simply supported and multi-span continuous steel girder bridges are evaluated, including the use of elastomeric bearings, lead-rubber bearings, and restrainer cables. It is determined that lead-rubber bearings are the most effective retrofit measure for reducing the seismic vulnerability of typical bridges. While isolation provided by elastomeric bearings limits the forces into the columns, the added flexibility results in pounding between decks in the MSSS steel-girder bridge. Restrainer cables, which are becoming a common retrofit measure, are only moderately effective in reducing the seismic vulnerability of MSSS and MSC steel girder bridges.

The flutter reliability analysis of long span bridges requires use of a software tool that predicts the uncertainty in a flutter response due to uncertainties in the model formulation and input parameters. Existing flutter analysis numerical codes are not capable of dealing with stochastic uncertainty in the analysis of long span bridges. The goal of the present work is to develop a software tool (FREASB) to enable designers to efficiently and accurately conduct flutter reliability analysis of long span bridges. The FREASB interfaces an open-source Matlab toolbox for structural reliability analysis (FERUM) with a typical deterministic flutter analysis code. The paper presents a brief introduction to the generalized first-order reliability method implemented in FREASB and key steps involved in coupling it with a typical deterministic flutter analysis code. A numerical example concerning flutter reliability analysis of a long span suspension bridge with a main span of 1385 m is presented to demonstrate the application and effectiveness of the methodology and the software.

Despite the number of steel bridges being under in service more than 50 years reaches about 50$\%$ in present, the quantitative estimation in maintenance on steel railway bridges is not possible because a ton of the field data in the bridges have not been plentifully accumulated. Therefore, a series of field tests on the steel plate girder bridge, the typical types of steel railway bridges, are executed, and the stress characteristics of main members in steel plate girder railway bridges are quantitatively estimated in this study.

일반교량은 상부구조, 연결부분, 하부구조 및 기초로 구성되어 있고 내진성능은 하부구조와 연결부분의 파괴메카니즘에 의해 결정된다. 그러므로 내진설계는 구조부재의 설계강도, 즉 설계단면을 결정하는 기본설계단계에서 수행되어야 한다. 도로교설계기준 내진설계편은 두 가지 기본설계 방식을 제시하고 있다. 첫째는 기존 설계방식으로 내진설계편이 제시한 응답수정계수를 적용하는 방식이고 둘째는 새로 도입된 연성도 내진설계 방식으로 설계자가 응답수정계수를 결정하는 방식이다. 이 연구에서는 일반교량을 대상으로 두 설계방식을 같이 적용하는 기본설계를 수행하고 내진성능 확보의 관점에서 요구되는 보완사항을 제시하였다.

이전 논문에서 미 중부 및 동남부 지역의 전형적인 다경간 단순효와 다경간 강거더 연속교의 지진 응답을 연구하였으며, 이런 교량에서 덱 사이의 충돌과 큰 연성이 요구되는 기둥은 취약하여 손상을 입을 수 있다는 것을 보여주었다. 더구나, 고정 및 가동 교조장치는 강한 지진운동에 쉽게 피해를 입을 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 몇 개의 개선된 고무 베어링, 납-고무 베어링 그리고 제지선을 사용하여 전형적인 다경간 단순교와 다경간 강거더 연속교의 지진 응답을 평가하였다. 납-고무 베어링은 지진에 취약한 전형적인 교량의 응답을 개선하는데 효과적인 방법으로 평가되었다. 고무 베어링은 기둥의 요구량을 줄이지만, 다경간 단순교 강거더 교량에서 덱 사이의 강한 충돌을 유발시킨다. 제지선은 일반적으로 사용되지만 다경간 단순교와 다경간 연속교의 지진에 대한 손상을 절감하는데 중간정도의 효과를 보여주었다.

The strain data acquired from structural health monitoring (SHM) systems play an important role in the state monitoring and damage identification of bridges. Due to the environmental complexity of civil structures, a better understanding of the actual strain data will help filling the gap between theoretical/laboratorial results and practical application. In the study, the multi-scale features of strain response are first revealed after abundant investigations on the actual data from two typical long-span bridges. Results show that, strain types at the three typical temporal scales of $10^5$, $10^2$ and $10^0$ sec are caused by temperature change, trains and heavy trucks, and have their respective cut-off frequency in the order of $10^{-2}$, $10^{-1}$ and $10^0$ Hz. Multi-resolution analysis and wavelet shrinkage are applied for separating and extracting these strain types. During the above process, two methods for determining thresholds are introduced. The excellent ability of wavelet transform on simultaneously time-frequency analysis leads to an effective information extraction. After extraction, the strain data will be compressed at an attractive ratio. This research may contribute to a further understanding of actual strain data of long-span bridges; also, the proposed extracting methodology is applicable on actual SHM systems.

사회기반시설물인 교량은 인적/물적 자원의 신속하고 원활한 이동을 위해 지장물을 극복하도록 설계/시공되는 구조물이다. 그러므로 교량의 교축방향으로 배열되는 교각의 형상과 규모는 지형의 제약을 받을 수밖에 없다. 이러한 교각의 형상과 규모는 지진하중의 전달경로를 결정하는 연결부분 배열과 함께 연결부분과 교각에 발생하는 작용력을 좌우하게 된다. 이 연구에서는 강재받침과 철근콘크리트 기둥을 연결부분과 교각으로 하는 일반교량을 대상으로 교각 및 강재받침 배열이 다른 해석모델을 설정하여 지진해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과로 구한 교각기둥과 강재받침의 강도/작용력 비로부터 각 해석모델의 연성파괴메카니즘을 구성하고 연결부분 및 교각 배열이 일반교량의 내진성능에 미치는 영향을 연성파괴메카니즘 구성 측면에서 제시하였다.

일반교량 내진설계의 목적은 붕괴방지설계이고 도로교설계기준 내진설계편은 교량구조의 연성파괴메카니즘을 구성하는 설계방식을 제시하고 있다. 그러나 구조형식 또는 현장여건에 의해 연성파괴메카니즘을 구성하는 것이 비합리적인 경우 차선책으로 취성파괴메카니즘을 구성하여 붕괴방지설계를 수행할 수 있다. 연성파괴메카니즘을 구성하는 기존 설계방식과 함께 내진설계편은 연성도 내진설계를 부록으로 제시하고 있다. 연성도 내진설계는 철근콘크리트 교각으로 구성되는 교량에 적용하며 설계자가 하부구조의 소요응답수정계수를 결정하고 이로부터 심부구속철근을 설계하는 방식이다. 이 연구에서는 철근콘크리트 교각기둥과 강재받침으로 설계된 일반교량을 선정하여 기존 설계방식과 연성도 내진설계를 모두 적용한 결과로부터 차이점을 확인하고 설계자가 내진설계를 수행하는 과정에서 두 설계방식을 모두 고려하는 설계절차를 제안하였다.

Bridges are lifeline and integral components of transportation system that are susceptible to seismic actions, their vulnerability assessment is essential for seismic risk assessment and mitigation. The vulnerability assessment of bridges common in Pakistan is very important as it is seismically very active region and the available code for the seismic design of bridges is obsolete. This research presents seismic vulnerability assessment of three real case simply supported multi-span reinforced concrete bridges commonly found in northern Pakistan, having one, two and three bents with circular piers. The vulnerability assessment is carried through the non-linear dynamic time history analyses for the derivation of fragility curves. Finite element based numerical models of the bridges were developed in MIDAS CIVIL (2015) and analyzed through with non-linear dynamic and incremental dynamic analyses, using a suite of bridge-specific natural spectrum compatible ground motion records. Seismic responses of shear key, bearing pad, expansion joint and pier components of each bridges were recorded during analysis and retrieved for performance based analysis. Fragility curves were developed for the bearing pads, shear key, expansion joint and pier of the bridges that first reach ultimate limit state. Dynamic analysis and the derived fragility curves show that ultimate limit state of bearing pads, shear keys and expansion joints of the bridges exceed first, followed by the piers ultimate limit state for all the three bridges. Mean collapse capacities computed for all the components indicated that bearing pads, expansion joints, and shear keys exceed the ultimate limit state at lowest seismic intensities.
