<p>Along with building slender and longer span structures, vibration serviceability becomes more important considerations in bridge design and maintenance. In this study, vibration serviceability and deflection limit for long span cable bridges are investigated using long-term monitoring data such as accelerations and displacements of bridges. Exampled bridges are Yi Sun-Sin Grand Bridge (suspension bridge, main span length=1,545m) and 2<sup>nd</sup> Jindo Grand Bridge (cable stayed bridge, main span length=344m). Long-term data are analyzed and compared with various design codes, guidelines, and other research results. Probability of exceedance are calculated for each criterion. Regarding on deflection limits, Korean Bridge Design Code (Limit State Design) specifies L/400 and L/350 for cable stayed and suspension bridges, respectively. Saadeghvaziri suggested deflection limit based on natural frequency, acceleration limit of 0.5 m/s² and vehicle speed. Various human comfort criteria on vibration are also applied including ISO standards. The results of this study are expected to be useful reference for the design, the proper planning and deflection review of the long span cable bridges around the world. Further researches are required to find the optimum deflection or vibration criteria for long span bridge and their effects on bridge clearance and elevation.</p>

<p>Vibration serviceability becomes more important considerations in design and maintenance, especially for slender and flexible structures such as long span cable bridges. In this study, various evaluation methods for vibration serviceability for long span cable bridges are proposed. These methods are based on short and long-term monitoring data such as accelerations and displacements of bridges. Proposed methods include (1) method of evaluating vibration amplitude based on Reiher-Meister curves, (2) method of evaluating variations in natural frequencies and damping ratio,</p><p>(3) method of weighted rms(root-mean-square) acceleration based on ISO 2631-1, and (4) probabilistic analysis using long-term monitoring data. These methods are applied to example cable bridge and cases of normal traffic, heavy traffic, windy condition and sudden abnormal vibration are considered. The results of this study are expected to be implemented to real bridge monitoring system for real-time and periodic evaluation of vibration serviceability.</p>

The holy grail of structural health monitoring is the quantitative linkage between data and decisions. While structural health monitoring has shown continued growth over the past several decades, there is a persistent chasm between structural health monitoring and the ability of structure owners to make asset management decisions based on structural health monitoring data. This is in part due to the historical structural health monitoring paradigm cast as a problem of estimating structural state and detecting damage by monitoring changes in structural properties (namely, reduced stiffness). For most operational structures, deterioration does not necessarily correspond to changes in structural properties with structures operating in their elastic regimes even when deteriorated. For structures like bridges, upkeep decisions are based on federally mandated condition ratings assigned during visual inspection. Since condition ratings are widely accepted in practice, the authors propose that condition ratings serve as lower limit states (i.e. limit states below yielding) with long-term monitoring data used to quantify these lower limit states in terms of the reliability index. This article presents a method to quantify the reliability index values corresponding to the lower limit states described by existing condition ratings. Once the reliability index thresholds are established, the data-driven reliability index of the in-service asset can be monitored continuously and explicitly mapped to a condition rating at any time. As an illustrative example, the proposed framework for tracking structural performance is implemented with long-term monitoring data collected on a pin-and-hanger assembly on the Telegraph Road Bridge, which is a highway bridge located in Monroe, MI. The successful implementation of the proposed method on the Telegraph Road Bridge results in a human-independent and truly data-driven decision-making strategy that is synergistic with the state of practice, eliminates risks associated with infrequent visual inspections, and expands condition ratings to encompass the entire measurable domain of damage that may exist in an asset.
