Abstract

A systematic procedure to evaluate fatigue damages and to predict remaining fatigue lives is introduced for a steel railway bridge. Fatigue damages are evaluated by using the currently available fatigue damage theory. Fatigue lives with the condition of fatigue crack initiation are estimated by the probabilistic approach based on the reliability theory as well as the simplified procedure. A equivalent deterministic procedure is also suggested to assess the remaining fatigue life under various traffic conditions. Numerical simulations are used to assess dynamic stress histories with correction factors. Loading models are obtained from the passenger volume data. Train coincidences are also considered. Based on the results, the fatigue life is found to be underestimated by without considering the coincidence of trains on the bridge. The simplified method proposed in this study are found to yield approximately the same results as the systematic procedure.

본 연구에서는 공용중인 강철도교의 피로에 대한 안전성을 확보하기 위해 기존의 피로손상예측이론을 바탕으로 강철도교의 피로손상 및 피로균열발생까지의 피로수명을 평가하였으며, 또한 신뢰성이론에 근거하여 사용수명에 따른 신뢰도를 평가하였다. 그리고 이러한 평가를 바탕으로 다양한 통행조건에 대해 등가열차하중을 이용한 간편한 분석 기법을 제안하였다. 피로손상평가를 위하여 적용한 실동응력은 대상교량이 경험하는 다양한 하중조건에 대해 구조해석을 통해서 구해진 응력이력에 보정계수를 적용하여 구하였다. 본 연구의 결과로부터 운행특성, 즉 교행조건의 고려 유 무에 따른 잔존수명은 교행특성을 고려하지 않은 경우가 고려한 경우보다 약간 긴 것으로 평가되었다. 또한 본 연구에서 제안한 간편한 분석기법인 등가열차하중모형에 의한 잔존수명평가 결과는 상세잔존수명평가 결과와 비교하여 볼 때 그 차이가 근사한 것으로 평가되었다.
