철도는 국가의 물류 및 인적자원을 수송하는 주요한 수송수단으로 1899년 9월 연장 33.2km의 경인선을 시작으로 선로가 지속적으로 증설되어 현재 총영업연장은 6,683km에 달하고 있다. 현재 국내에는 총 2,500여개소의 철도교가 있는데, 이 중에서 강교량에 대해서 연장이 차지하는 비율은 약 48%이고, 공용기간이 50년 이상인 강교량이 전체교량의 약 46%를 차지하고 있으므로 이들 강철도교는 노후화가 상당히 진행되고 있을 것으로 판단된다.(중략)

The dynamic strain-time(${\varepsilon}$-t) curves of the fatal members in three existing steel railway bridges was measured during the selected trains was passing, and was regulated statistically. By the results of these the equivalent fatigue damages of the selected members was calculated in comparison with the allowable stresses, and was examined. From these the base available in evaluating the stability and the lifeproof of the steel railway bridge was obtained. In addition to this, the following several properties which could be used availably in designing the steel railway bridges. It was conformed that the fatigue damages was different each other even in the same members, if the unit weight of the trains was same but the weights and the dispositions of the wheels of the trains was different each other. It was indicated that the fatigue damages was larger in the members which had the defects in components of the materials, the flaws being made during producing and constructing, and the corrosions, etc. It was considered that more a vailable data could be obtained, if the same studies were continued under the spans and the types of the bridges being changed continuously.

A systematic procedure to evaluate fatigue damages and to predict remaining fatigue lives is introduced for a steel railway bridge. Fatigue damages are evaluated by using the currently available fatigue damage theory. Fatigue lives with the condition of fatigue crack initiation are estimated by the probabilistic approach based on the reliability theory as well as the simplified procedure. A equivalent deterministic procedure is also suggested to assess the remaining fatigue life under various traffic conditions. Numerical simulations are used to assess dynamic stress histories with correction factors. Loading models are obtained from the passenger volume data. Train coincidences are also considered. Based on the results, the fatigue life is found to be underestimated by without considering the coincidence of trains on the bridge. The simplified method proposed in this study are found to yield approximately the same results as the systematic procedure.

Various studies have been conducted to evaluate the probabilistic fatigue life of steel railway bridges, but many of them are based on a relatively simple model of crack propagation. The model assumes zero minimum stress and constant loading amplitude, which is not appropriate for the fatigue life evaluation of railway bridges. Thus, this study proposes a new probabilistic method employing an advanced crack propagation model that considers the live-dead load ratio for the fatigue life evaluation of steel railway bridges. In addition, by using the rainflow cycle counting algorithm, it can handle variable-amplitude loading, which is the most common loading pattern for railway bridges. To demonstrate the proposed method, it was applied to a numerical example of a steel railway bridge, and the fatigue lives of the major components and structural system were estimated. Furthermore, the effects of various ratios of live-dead loads on bridge fatigue life were examined through a parametric study. As a result, with the increasing live-dead stress ratio from 0 to 5/6, the fatigue lives can be reduced by approximately 30 years at both the component and system levels.

Since railway bridge frequently have a chance of passing train load close to design load, it is necessary to reflect sufficiently fatigue property in early design phase for many structural details. Nevertheless fatigue cracks are reported partly in deck plate girder of railway steel bridge because of the weight and arrangement of axial load acting on railway bridge, the application of improper structural details for fatigue problem etc.. One of main cause for fatigue crack at the welded part of upper flange and web is caused by the eccentricity action of train load due to the difference of center to center spacing between the main girder supporting sleeper and the rail acting train load. For the existing deck plate girder of railway steel bridge, in this study, field survey, field measurement and a series of structural analysis were performed. In addition, the characteristics of structural behavior, the causes and repair/ retrofit of fatigue crack were examined in the target bridge.
