Abstract

study deals with the reliability assesment for the 5-year phases of a suspension bridge construction in Korea. The main objectives of this study are; (1) the evaluation of the reliability of a suspension bridge by considering an ultimate limit state for the fracture of main cable wires, (2) the determination of the critical phases among 28 construction stages for the deck erection, and (3) the evaluation of the reliability of the limit state for the erection control during construction stages. The research and the design of the suspension bridge have been focused on the state of construction mainly based on empirical data. Based on the recent survey of the distribution of accidents in Korean railways, over 80% of the accidents related to the uncertainties in human error, planning, design, materials and loads during construction have ben reported before the completion of construction. While many researches have evaluated the safety of bridges, the uncertainties in the construction phases have not been well treated in a guidelines or a specifications. An improved adaptive response surface method is used for the risk assessment in the construction phases of the target suspension bridge.

국내 시공 중인 현수교의 시공단계에 대한 신뢰성 해석을 통한 위험성 평가를 실시하였다. 본 논문의 주요 연구목표는 (1) 현수교주케이블 소선의 파단에 대한 신뢰성 해석, (2) 보강형 거더 가설 28단계에 대한 위험단계 결정, (3) 보강형 거더 가설중 시공관리에 대한 한계상태의 신뢰성 평가이다. 기존의 현수교에 대한 연구와 설계는 주로 경험적인 데이터에 의존해 왔으나 최근 조사된 자료에 의하면 교량의 완공 전에 발생하는 사고의 원인의 80%는 인간의 오류, 계획, 설계, 재료 및 하중의 불확실성과 관련되어 있다. 교량의 완성계에 대해서는 많은 연구가 수행되어왔으나 시공중의 불확실성에 대해서는 시방서나 지침 등으로 정리되어 있지 않은 부분이 많다. 개선된 선형 적 용적 응답면기법을 사용하여 예제교량의 시공단계에 대한 위험성 평가를 하였다.
