Abstract

A vibration-based monitoring system is newly proposed to predict the loss of prestress forces in prestressed concrete (PSC) girder bridges. Firstly, a global damage alarming algorithm is newly proposed to monitor the occurrence of prestress-loss by using the change in frequency responses. Secondly, a prestress-loss prediction algorithm is selected to estimate the extent of prestress-loss by using the change in natural frequencies. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed system is experimentally evaluated on a scaled PSC girder model for which acceleration responses were measured for several damage scenarios of prestress-loss.

본 논문에서는 프리스트레스 콘크리트(PSC) 거더교의 긴장력 손실을 예측하기 위한 진동기반 모니터링 체계를 제안하였다. 제안한 체계는 긴장력 손실 경보 단계와 긴장력 손실 정도를 평가하는 단계로 구성하였다. 먼저, 긴장력 손실 경보를 위해 두 위치에서 취득된 주파수 응답의 변화를 사용하여 긴장력 손실의 발생을 모니터링하는 새로운 전역적 손상경보기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 기법은 응답신호의 파워스펙트럼만을 이용하기 때문에 별도의 모드해석과정 없이 실시간으로 손상경보가 가능하다. 다음으로, 긴장력 손실 정도를 평가하기 위하여 고유진동수의 변화로부터 긴장력의 상대적인 손실 정도를 평가할 수 있는 긴장력 손실 예측 기법을 선정하였다. 제안된 체계의 유용성을 축소 모형 PSC 거더에 대한 실험을 통해 평가하였다.
