시간에 따른 부식열화가 고려된 피로취약도 곡선을 이용한 강교의 손상 평가

Abstract

A method for assessing fatigue vulnerability of steel bridge members considering corrosion and truck traffic variation with time is proposed to evaluate the reduction of fatigue strength in steel bridge members. A fatigue limit state function including corrosion and traffic variation effect is established. The interaction between the average corrosion depth and the fatigue strength reduction factor is applied to the limit state function as the reduction term of strength. Three types of truck traffic change is modeled for representing real traffic change trend. Monte-Carlo simulation method is used for reliability analysis which provides the data to obtain fatigue vulnerability curves. The estimation method proposed was verified by comparing with the results of reference study and applying to the steel bridges in service.

본 연구에서는 강교 부재를 대상으로 시간에 따른 부식과 교통량(트럭통행량)의 변화 영향을 반영한 피로 취약도 평가 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법을 통해 부식과 교통량 변화를 고려할 수 있는 피로에 대한 한계상태함수를 설정하였다. 부식의 영향은 평균부식깊이와 피로강도감소계수와의 관계를 이용하여 한계상태함수에서 피로저항의 감소로써 반영되었다. 트럭통행량의 변화는 세 가지 대표적인 변화양상을 설정하여 기간별로 실제 변화에 맞게 모델링함으로써 한계상태함수에서 하중의 증가로 반영되었다. Monte-Carlo 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 신뢰성 해석을 수행하도록 하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 시간이력 피로 취약도 곡선을 도출하였다. 검증예제와 실제 국내 강교에 적용하여 제안된 피로 취약도 평가방법을 검증하였다.
