    It is important to estimate corrosion environment of steel bridges for an appropriate corrosion prevention and maintenance program. Estimation of environment has heavily depended on insitu observation and many data have been collected. However, versatile numerical approaches to this problem has not fully pursued yet. To this end, observation of airborne sea salt particles was performed with a standard low volume sampler (JIS Z 8814) beginning from April, 2013 to August, 2013 in the city of Nagoya and compared analytical estimation. A meso scale meteorological analysis employed here is WRF-Chem Ver. 3.4. Although WRF uses land use and terrain data based on USGS by default, the data is sometimes incorrect in Japan and yields inaccurate results especially for wind. Introduction of more accurate land use and geographic data supplied by the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan improves accuracy of basic meteorological data and therefore concentration of airborne sea salt particles. Other factors affecting accuracy of airborne sea salt concentration will also be discussed.

    It is important to estimate corrosion environment of steel bridges for a proper corrosion prevention and maintenance program. Adhered sea-salt particulate matter (SSPM) is an influential factor especially in coastal areas. To this end, it is better to know the adhesion behavior of SSPM to bridge girders. The objective of this manuscript is to pursue numerical method to simulate the adhesion behavior of salt particles oriented from sea surface. Specifically, two scale approach is proposed. Mesoscale Meteorological Analysis and Lagrangian type two phase flow analysis are used in global and local analyses respectively. The comparisons between the numerical and observed results showed that the numerical analysis can reproduce essential behaviors of airborne SSPM.

    Irregular multi-span continuous bridges with unequal height piers are commonly adopted in mountainous areas when crossing steep-sided valleys. As common practice, economical unbonded laminated rubber bearings and concrete shear keys are usually installed in such bridges as superstructure-to-substructure connections. In strong earthquakes, the sliding of rubber bearings and the shear key failure are mostly expected, which may weaken the seismic resistance of the irregular bridges. The current study is mainly divided into three parts: the first one investigates the effect of concrete shear keys on the transverse seismic performance of the irregular bridges by incorporating the potential sliding of laminated rubber bearings; the second part proposes the concept of using yielding steel dampers to replace shear keys for mitigating the irregular seismic responses of the unequal height bridges with the practical design method being developed; the third part demonstrates the retrofit effectiveness by conducting nonlinear time-history analyses. The results indicate that the existence of concrete shear keys increases the bridge irregularity by inducing a significant in-plane superstructure rotation response around the vertical axis, posing nonuniform displacement demands at the substructures. The shear keys also contribute to the unbalanced ductility demands on the unequal height substructures, rendering the taller piers more vulnerable to the seismic damages. This differs from the case with fixed bearings, where the shorter piers are more subjected to damages. Using yielding steel dampers that are appropriately designed as per the proposed method, the seismic rotations of the bridge superstructure can be considerably mitigated with a relatively uniform superstructure movement maintained. The steel dampers are also effective in distributing the inertia forces among the unequal height piers. The effectiveness of yielding steel dampers replacing concrete shear keys in unequal height irregular bridges is successfully verified by the results from the numerical simulation.

    Corrosion of steel bridges in a coastal area is mainly caused by sea salt particles coming from ocean. Appropriate estimation of such airborne sea salt particles is critically important for a proper anticorrosion management program. At present, the most reasonable simulation of sea salt concentration can be performed as a part of meso scale meteorological analysis. However, accuracy of such simulation is not verified well so far. The objective of this work is to verify and to improve the accuracy of numerical simulation of airborne sea salt particles by introducing enhanced land use data. Other factors affecting accuracy of airborne sea salt concentration will also be discussed.

    Anticorrosion of steel bridges has been an increasingly important problem in Japan. For a proper anticorrosion and maintenance program, it is important to estimate corrosion environment of steel bridges. In Japan, airborne sea salt generated from ocean is a predominant factor. Authors have been working on establishing a consistent framework to estimate corrosion environment numerically. It consists of a local and a global approach. While adhesion of airborne sea salt particles to bridge structures are simulated locally by a CFD analysis, the large scale yields a boundary conditions of the local analysis and is given by a part of a mesoscale meteorological analysis. The objective of this work is to numerically investigate reliability of such large scale analysis in estimation of corrosion environment caused by airborne sea salt particles.

    鋼橋や社会基盤構造物の腐食環境予測のために,当該地点での飛来塩分量を把握することが重要である.より合理的かつ柔軟な防蝕のためにはこれを数値的に予測できることが望ましい.日本の沿岸部での飛来塩分は海洋面由来のものであり,海洋面で発生し塩分粒子が風により輸送されることによりもたらされている.このため,著者らは飛来塩分量を気象現象と捉え,近年急速な発達をとげている数値気象モデルを用いて日本各地の飛来塩分量の推定することの可能性について検討を続けてきた.その結果,大まかな季節変動や地域的な変動については既存のモデルで再現しうることを示してきた.しかし,いくつかの観点から観測データをうまく説明できない場合があり,この原因として発生関数,砕波域の問題等について検討し,砕波域の導入の大枠について既に示してきた.ここではより詳細に検討する.
