This paper presents the effects of indirect costs on Life-Cycle-Cost(LCC) effective optimum design of steel-box girder bridges. The LCC formulations considered in the LCC optimization of the bridges consist of initial cost and expected rehabilitation costs including repair/replacement costs, loss of contents or fatality and injury losses, and indirect costs such as road user costs and indirect socio-economic losses. To demonstrate the LCC-effectiveness for optimum design of the bridges, an actual steel box girder bridge having two continuous spans(2@50m=100m) is considered as a numerical example. And also, in this paper, various sensitivity analyses are performed to investigate the effects of indirect costs caused by traffic conditions such as number of detour route, number of lane on detour route, length of detour route, and traffic volumes on the LCC-effective optimum design. From the numerical investigations, it may be concluded that indirect costs caused by traffic network may sensitively influence on the LCC-effective optimum design of steel-box girder bridges. Therefore, it may be stated that the traffic conditions should be considered as one of the important items in the LCC-effective optimum design of the bridges.

합리적인 교량 대안선정을 위해서는 설계 시 경제성, 경관성, 안전성 및 기능성, 유지관리 용이성, 시공성 등 다양한 속성을 고려하여야 한다. 이 중 경제성은 초기비용뿐만 아니라 공용수명에 걸쳐 발생하는 유지관리비용, 보수 보강비용, 해체 폐기비용 등의 합인 총 생애주기비용에 대해 최소의 비용으로 최상의 가치를 창출하도록 하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 건설계획과정에서 대표적으로 고려될 수 있는 대안으로 세 가지 교량 형식(강상자형교, 소수주형교, PSC-I형 거더교)을 대상구조물로 선정하고 교량의 공용수명은 상태등급곡선으로부터 추정한 내하율 곡선을 사용하여 산정하였다. LCC최적설계를 위해 설계변수, 제약조건, 목적함수를 구성하였고, 총 생애주기비용을 공용수명으로 나눈 연간생애주기비용을 사용하여 하여 합리적인 교량의 경제성 분석을 수행하였다.

The skid proof pavement is used for safety driving on curved bridges and high level roads. This study analyzed the effect of skid proof pavement on the bridge using actual spot test and computer analysis. In the actual spot test, the natural frequency and dynamic deflection of steel box girder bridges were measured before and after skid proof pavement. Likewise, in the computer analysis, the dynamic response of the finite element model was evaluated. The model was based on real steel box girder bridge according to the skid proof pavement. The analyzed results provide basic data on the effect of skid proof pavement on road structure.

The lifting and lowering supports method makes up for the weak points in the classical method and provides makes construction economical effect to construction. The application of pre-compression to continuous steel box girder bridges makes it possible to reduce the amount of steel, the height of girders and consequently, the cost consequentlyof the bridges' construction by through the process of concrete filling- up and the lifting-lowering of the inner supports. The lifting and lowering supports method is apt to cause local buckling in the lower flange and web plates by due to the process of the lifting of the inner supports. Therefore iln this study, therefore, the possibility of local buckling could be decreased, in consideration of the lifting force and the buckling strength of stiffened plates, by increasing the number of longitudinal stiffeners and the installation of extended longitudinal stiffeners on the lower flange and the web plates in the range of positive moment.

Firstly the problems of existing foreign code concerning wheel load distribution factor for skew box girder bridges have been examined, and the main parameters which have effects on wheel load distribution factors are evaluated in this study. Further finite element analyses on various skew steel box girder bridges are carried out. Based on the analysis results, formulas to determine wheel load distribution factors are proposed using multiple regression analysis. It is found when using the proposed formulas in this study weak points of existing specifications could be improved and also time spent at structural analysis should be saved a lot, so that the validity and practicality could be verified.

In this study, an automated optimum design program for steel box girder bridges has been developed for the optimum design of composite steel box girder bridges. The design constraints required for the optimum design of steel box girder bridges are based on the Korean standard bridge specification. Considering characteristics of steel box girder bridges, several approximation techniques, such as artificial constraint deletion, variable linking and stress reanalysis technique etc. are also introduced to enhance the efficiency of optimization. The developed program is mainly composed of major sub-system modules including structural analysis module using commercial structural analysis program such as RM-SPACEFRAME, optimum design module, pre-process module for friendly user input, and post-processor module for office automation. In addition, in order to demonstrate the efficiency and applicability of the developed optimum design program for steel box girder bridges, a few numerical examples are applied. Based on the results of the application, it may be stated that the automatic optimum design program developed in this study can be a prototype model for the developement of optimum design program for other type of bridge.

The lifting and lowering supports method was recently developed in steel box girder bridge. It has many advantages by lifting and lowering of inner supports and filled concrete. This method reduces an amount of steel and height of girders. It is one of the methods used to effectively increase the use of structural material. However, if there is too much lifting of inner supports, it is possible to cause buckling of the compression flange or web panel. Therefore it needs a proper number of longitudinal and transvers stiffener.

If any bridge has the monitoring system, the bridge manager can check the history of bridge behavior and the progress of the damage more exactly. When the unexpected event (ex: earthquake and flood) happens, the manager can check the safety condition of the bridge and make the pertinent action for bridge management which is reduction of vehicle speed or traffic control through the system. Additionary the manager can make the well-timed repair or reinforcement through the system, so he can save the management cost or the life cycle cost. This study presents the method of setting the criteria by FEM analysis in bridge monitoring system, and the standard progress for setting the criteria about measurement items of monitoring system for the steel box type bridge.
