In the design of curved girder bridges, the engineer is faced with a complex stress situatiorl. since these types of mutiple-I girder. mono-box girder and twin-box girder are subjected to both bending and torsional force. In general, the torsional forces consist of two part, St. venant's and warping. Thus the procedure for determining the induced stresses in a curved girder is difficult. The transfer matrix method is extensively used for the structural analysis because its merit in the theoretical background and applicability. The technique is attractive for implementation on a numerical solution by means of a computer program coded in Fortran language with a few elements. To demonstrate this fact. it gives good results which compare well with finite difference method. Therefore, in this paper, to clarify the range where the torsional warping stress can be approximated by pure torsional analyzed a critical value of relationships between the torsional stress ratio and torsional ratio.

This study intends to present a fragility analysis method suitable for concrete cable-stayed bridges by performing an analysis reflecting design criteria and material characteristics from the results of inelastic time-history analysis. In order to obtain the fragility curve of the cable-stayed bridge, the limit state of the main component of the cable-stayed bridge is determined, and the damage state is classified by comparing it with the response value based on inelastic time history analysis. The seismic fragility curve of the cable-stayed bridge was made by obtaining the probability of damage to PGA that the dynamic response of the vulnerable parts to input ground motion would exceed the limit state of each structural member. According to the pylon's fragility curve, the probability of moderate damage at 0.5g is 32% for the longitudinal direction, while 7% for the transversal direction, indicating that the probability of damage in the longitudinal direction is higher in the same PGA than in the transversal direction. The seismic fragility curve of the connections showed a very high probability of damage, meaning that damage to the connections caused by earthquakes is very sensitive compared to damage to the pylon and cables. The cable's seismic fragility curve also showed that the probability of complete damage state after moderate damage state gradually decreased, resulting in less than 30% probability of complete damage at 2.0g.

Solar radiation induces non-uniform temperature distribution in the bridge structure depending on the shape of the structure and shadows cast on it. Especially in the case of curved steel box girder bridges, non-uniform temperature distribution caused by solar radiation may lead to unusual load effects enough to damage the support or even topple the whole curved bridge structure if not designed properly. At present, it is very difficult to design bridges in relation to solar radiation because it is not known exactly how varying temperature distribution affects bridges; at least not specific enough for adoption in design. Standard regulations related to this matter are likewise not complete. In this study, the thermal behavior of curved steel box girder bridges is analyzed while taking the solar radiation effect into consideration. For the analysis, a method of predicting the 3-dimensional temperature distribution of curved bridges was developed. It uses a theoretical solar radiation energy equation together with a commercial FEM program. The behavior of the curved steel box girder bridges was examined using the developed method, while taking into consideration the diverse range of bridge azimuth angles and radii. This study also provides reference data for the thermal design of curved steel box girder bridges under solar radiation, which can be used to develop design guidelines.

The horizontally curved bridges have been used to connect bridges and roads. Until 1960s, they had been constructed with straight girders, called 'kinked girder bridges', which requires much cost and time-consuming construction of substructure. In case of using curved girders, practiced later, they would have many advantages such as reduction in the total construction cost and time, and ability to make aesthetic bridges. In designing plate girder bridges, it is necessary to determine the spacings between vertical stiffeners and the allowable shear stresses based on shear buckling capacity because it plays a key role in preventing the premature local shear buckling. Compared with the straight web, the critical shear buckling stresses of curved web panels vary with both aspect ratio and curvature coefficient. For designing curved web panels, a simplified formula and shear buckling coefficients were proposed by parametric models with F.E.M in this study.

하천의 본류와 지류가 만나는 합류부 흐름특성은 단일 하천에 비하여 수위, 유속, 경사, 유량 등 복잡한 수리학적 특성이 나타나게 된다. 특히, 홍수기 큰 호우사상이 발생하는 경우 본류와 지류에서 유입되는 각 유량의 크기에 따라 수위에 영향을 미치고 지류와 본류에 배수(back water)가 발생한다. 이러한 배수영향은 합류부 유량 산정에 있어서 매우 복잡한 요소로 작용한다. 일반적인 단일 하천에서는 수위가 증가하면 유량이 증가하여 수위관측소 수위 자료를 기반한 수위-유량관계곡선식을 이용하여 유량을 산정한다. 그러나 합류부에서는 배수영향으로 인하여 수위가 증가하더라도 수면경사가 완만해져 수위-유량관계곡선식 변수인 수위를 이용한 방법으로는 유량산정에 어려움이 있다. 따라서 조석 및 배수 영향 등 고리형 수위-유량관계가 발생하는 하천에서는 ADCP를 이용한 자동유량계측 방법을 채택하고 있다. 그러나 자동유량계측 시설을 설치하기 위해서는 고가의 비용이 발생하기 때문에 경제적 측면만 본다면 주요 지점이 아닌 모든 합류부에 설치하는 것은 어려움이 많다. 금강에 위치한 영동군(양강교) 관측소의 경우 하류 약 400m 우안측에서 유입되는 영동천의 영향으로 호우사상이 발생 할 경우 배수영향으로 고수위에서 상류 금산군(제원대교) 관측소와 첨두유량의 도달시간 및 유량 크기에서 역전이 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 초기 단계로서 영동군(양강교) 관측소가 위치한 금강과 영동군(초강교) 관측소가 위치한 영동천이 만나는 합류부에 수위계를 설치하였다. 호우사상별 유출에 따른 본류와 지류의 수면경사를 분석하여 배수영향이 시작되는 수위와 수위 상승으로 배수영향이 미미해지는 수위를 분석하여 배수영향 특성을 검토하였다. 이러한 분석은 기존 배수조건에서 왜곡된 유량 자료를 생산하는 수위-유량관계곡선식의 문제점을 개선하여 앞으로 정확한 유량산정 방법을 제시할 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 분석을 통하여 추후 합류부에서 배수영향 조건의 고리형 수위-유량관계곡선식 매개변수로 수위 외에도 수면경사를 고려한 수위-유량관계곡선식을 개발하는데 목적이 있다.

수위관측소에서는 일반적으로 실시간 수위관측을 통해 연속된 수위자료가 계측이 되고 있는 반면, 하천의 유량은 실시간 측정이 어렵기 때문에 목적에 따라 시기 또는 수위별로 측정을 실시하고 있다. 이를 통해 확보한 유량자료를 이용하여 수위-유량관계곡선(Stage-Discharge relationship)을 개발하고, 이 곡선을 이용하여 연속적인 유량자료를 제시하고 있다. 자연하천의 경우 하도의 인공적 및 자연적 변화에 따라 수위-유량관계가 변화하게 된다. 특히 합류부에 위치한 관측소는 일반적인 단일 하천에서의 수위-유량관계와 다르게 배수(Backwater)가 발생한다. 이는 등류수위의 경사보다 완경사가 발생하고 단순 수위-유량 일대일 관계를 나타내는데 어려움이 있다. 따라서 수위-유량관계곡선을 이용한 유량환산에 있어 배수 발생기간은 왜곡된 유량자료를 생산하거나 유량환산 불가기간이 발생하는 문제점이 있다. 미호천의 지류인 한천에 위치한 진천군(인산리) 관측소는 하류 약 500m에서 미호천 본류와 합류하고 있다. 또한 합류점을 기준으로 본류인 미호천 상류 약 3km에 진천군(가산교) 관측소, 하류 약 2km에 진천군(오갑교) 관측소가 위치하고 있다. 따라서 호우사상의 크기에 따라 본류 배수영향으로 진천군(인산리) 관측소 중고수위에서 수위-유량관계곡선으로 산정된 유량의 크기가 과대 산정되어 진천군(가산교)와 합산한 유량이 진천군(오갑교) 관측소 유량과 상하류 역전이 발생한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 합류부 보조수위계 설치를 통해 배수영향을 검토 할 계획이었으나 2020년 큰 호우사상으로 보조수위계가 유실되어 본류에 위치한 진천군(가산교)와 진천군(오갑교) 관측소의 연속적인 수위, 유량, 유속 등 수리학적 인자를 이용하여 에너지 방정식으로부터 합류부 수위를 산정하고 지류인 한천의 배수영향 검토를 통해 진천군(인산리) 관측소의 배수 발생기간을 검토하였다. 따라서 수위-유량관계곡선을 이용한 유량환산에 있어서 배수에 의한 왜곡된 유량 자료를 제외하였으나 배수에 의한 유량환산 불가기간은 추후 해결해야 할 과제로 남는다.

In the case of horizontally curved bridges, the use of curved composite box girder bridges are increased due to its functionality and for aesthetical reason. As it compared with the open section, the steel box girder bridges have advantages to resistant of distortion and corrosion. In practice the grid analysis is conducted by utilizing only the cross beam. Since the stiffness of the concrete slab is not included in the grid analysis, the cross beam is induced the distribution of the live load. In this study the affects of the radius of curvature, the number of diaphragm and cross beam to the load distribution of the curved steel box girder bridge was investigated by applying the finite element method. The results indicate that the curvature of curved bridge had a large affect of the load distribution and as the curvature was increased the load distribution factor was increased. A single diaphragm at the center of girder is important role for the load distribution effects and structural stability, but additional diaphragm did not affect it as much. The affects of the cross beam to the load distribution were investigated and its influence was minor. It can be safely concluded that the addition of cross beam does not aid the purpose of the live load distribution. And the stiffness of concrete slab for the load distribution effects should be concerned in the design of curved steel box girder bridges.
