Abstract

The construction of highway bridges is almost complete in many countries including the United States. The government and highway agencies change the focus from constructing to maintaining To maintain the bridges effectively there is an urgent need to assess actual bridge loading carrying capacity and to predict their remaining life. The system reliability techniques have to be used for this purpose. Based on lifetime distribution (function) techniques this study illustrates how typical highway bridges can be modeled to predict their remaining life. The parameters of lifetime distribution are generated by Monte. The results can be used for optimization of planning interventions on existing bridges.

고속도로 건설은 미국을 포함한 여러 국가에서 거의 완료되었으며 정부나 고속도로 관계기관은 유지관리쪽에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 교량을 효과적으로 유지관리 하기 위해 교량의 실제 내하력과 잔존수명을 예측하는 것은 매우 시급하다. 이러한 목적으로서 시간에 대한 시스템 신뢰성 해석이 필요하다. 이 논문에서는 Lifetime 분포(함수)를 이용해서 교량의 잔존수명을 예측하기 위한 전형적인 교량의 모델링기법을 개발하였다. Lifetime의 함수변수를 생성하기 위해서 몬테칼로법을 이용하였다. 결과는 지금 존재하는 교량에 대해 최적의 유지관리 계획에 이용될 수 있다.
