Abstract

In general, the tension forces of hanger cable in suspension bridges play an important role in evaluating the bridge conditions. The vibration method, as a conventional one, has been widely applied to estimate the tension forces by using the measured frequencies on hanger cables. However, the vibration method is not applicable to short hanger cables because the fiequencies of short cables are severely sensitive to flexural rigidity. Thus, in this study, the tension forces of short hanger cables, of which the length is shorter than 10 meters, were estimated through back analysis of the cable fiequencies measured from Gwang-An suspension bridge in Korea. Direct approach to back analysis is adopted using the univariate method among the direct search methods as an optimization technique. The univariate method is able to search the optimal tension forces without regard to the initial ones and has a rapid convergence rate. To verify the feasibility of back analysis, the results from back analysis and vibration method are compared with the design tension forces. From the comparison, it can be inferred that back analysis results are more reasonable agreement with the design tension forces of short hanger cable. Therefore, it is concluded that back analysis applied in this study is an appropriate tool for estimating tension forces of short hanger cables.

현수교 행어케이블의 장력은 현수교의 상태점검에 있어 중요한 요소이다. 현재 케이블의 장력 추정에는 여러 이론식에 의한 간접적인 방법들이 사용되고 있으며, 케이블의 가속도신호로부터 고유진동수를 측정한 후 고유진동수와 장력과의 관계로부터 케이블의 장력을 추정하는 진동법이 대표적이다. 하지만 운동방정식을 기반으로 하는 진동법은 휨강성의 영향이 큰 짧은 케이블의 장력추정에는 적합하지 않다. 본 논문에서는 10m 미만의 짧은 케이블에 대해서도 전기 가능한 새로운 장력 추정 방법으로 단변분탐색법과, 최적화 기법을 이용한 역해석 기법을 제시하였다. 이론에 대한 검증을 위해 국내에 사용 중인 광안대교 행어케이블을 대상으로, 역해석과 진동법에 의한 추정장력들과 설계장력을 상호 비교하였고, 이를 통해 역해석기법이 길이에 상관없이 장력추정에 유용하다는 결론을 얻었다.
