Bridge decks are members that rapidly deteriorated due to various environmental factors such as heavy vehicle and deicing salt, etc. As the lifespan of bridges built in Korea increases, it is expected that the demand for replacing the deteriorated bridge decks will increase. In other countries, Accelerated Bridge Construction technology using precast decks is already actively being used as a countermeasure for replacement demand of deteriorated bridge decks. In this study, bridge decks deterioration models are proposed by collecting and analysing the condition index data of domestic bridge decks. Also, the future replacement demands of deteriorated bridge decks in terms of replacement time and replacement scale are predicted.

중트럭통행으로 인한 철근콘크리트 교량바닥판의 열화는 교량구조물을 유지보수하는데 있어서 심각한 문제중 하나이며, 프리캐스트 바닥판을 이용한 교량바닥판의 시공 및 교체 방법이 실용적이며, 효과적인 방법으로 인식되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 프리캐스트 바닥판 사이 연결부에 대한 정적실험을 수행하여 실험부재의 탄성영역 및 극한 상태하에서 프리캐스트 바닥판 사이 교축직각 방향 연결부의 강성 및 강도를 평가하였다. 정적실험결과, 무수측 모르나트를 채움재로 사용한 프리캐스트 바닥판 사이 교축방향 연결부는 교축방향으로 적정량의 프리스트레스를 도입함으로서 일반 현장타설 철근콘크리트 바닥판에 비해서 균열에 대한 사용성이 향상되는 것으로 나타났다.

The behaviour of Modular GFRP(Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers) decks for use in deteriorated bridge decks replacement are investigated experimentally in this study. As for the performance evaluation of bridge decks, experimental studies on the 3 test specimens with 1/5 scale of full size were carried out. Three specimens were sandwich plates with box tube cores. The constituents of bridge decks were glass fiber preforms and epoxy resin. The experimental results of all the specimens were summarized for maximum strength, stiffness and deformation capacity. A finite element analyses were compared to verify validity of experimental results.

A concept of Modular GFRP(Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) deck panel was proposed for bridge decks. The modular GFRP bridge deck system is comprised of main unit module and connector unit module with GFRP flanges and web. Its structural performance under static loading was evaluated and compared with the LUSAS finite element predictions. It was found that the presented GFRP modular panel was very efficient for use in bridges. The failure mode of the proposed GFRP deck was similar when compared with that of commercial other GFRP decks developed.

최근 교통량의 증가에 의해 직접 하중을 부담하는 교량바닥판의 손상이 심각한문제로 부각되고 있다. 더욱이 차량하중의 증가는 바닥판손상을 더욱 가속화시키고 있는 실정이다. 바닥판의 손상이 심한 경우에는 교체 또는 성능개선공사를 시행하게 되는데, 이때 기존의 현장타설바닥판이 갖는 단점을 보완할 수 있는 프리캐스트 콘크리트 바닥판은 공기단축, 품질확보 등의 측면에서 매우 효과적인 대체공법이 될 수 있다. 프리캐스트 콘크리트 바닥판은 기존의 현장타설바닥판과달리 바닥판간에 이음부를 갖는 구조적 특징이 있으며, 다양한응력상태에 있는 바닥판중에 존재하는 비연속부인 이음부와 콘크리트 부재사이의 원활한 하중전달을 위해 부착강도는 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이음부의 부착강도를 함리적으로 평가할 수 있는 새로운 실험방법을 제안하고 이를 이용하여 휨, 직접인장 및 전단실험을 수행하였다. 또한 구성재료에 대한 압축, 휨인장 및 할렬인장강도 특성도 평가하였 다. 부착 및 강도특성에 관한 실험결과, 제안된 실험방법을 이용하면 실제에 근접한 부착강도를 평가할 수 있으며 국내에서 사용되는 충전재료중 무수축모르터가 프리캐스트 콘크리트 바닥판간 이음부의 채움재로서의 기본요건을 만족하고 있는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Recently, the failure case of the bridge deck slabs have been increasing in Korea and it was observed that the failure modes of most deck slabs collapsed were not caused by flexural moment but by local punching shear. The main reason of the failures was the punching shear failure of deck slabs under heavy truck traffics. This paper presents test results obtained from punching shear tests performed on prestressed precast deck specimens. Cracking patterns, failure modes, deflections, and stresses are included as well as discussion of the punching shear strength observed during punching shear tests. Static lest specimens had punching shear failures at loads much higher than predicted by the current codes. Tests results indicate that current code provisions appear to be conservative.

This study established key factors causing deck slab deterioration based on GPR database of 747 highway bridges, and predicted deck slab damage rates with respect to bridge service life. To minimize the influence of bridge service life on deck slab deterioration, the deck slab damage rate database was corrected based on a linear regression model of bridge service life vs. deck slab damage rate. The corrected deck slab damage rates were analyzed to determine correlation considering the number of snowy days, the amount of snowfalls, the number of freeze-thaw days, average winter temperature, altitude, the amount of deicing chemicals and equivalent traffic volume, and then both the number of freeze-thaw days and the amount of deicing chemicals were determined to be key factors causing deck slab deterioration. The complex deterioration considering both key factors was represented deck slab damage rate charts, and the average deck slab life was derived. The results of this study will be used as a guideline for highway bridge maintenance to identify the progress of deck slab deterioration for a given bridge and predict the time required deck slab rehabilitation.

According to Korea Highway Bridge Design Code the bridge deck is designed by the strength design method and is regarded as a beam possessing the unit width based on the bending theory. By many researches it is revealed that the existing bridge deck is failed by punching shear. For evaluating the ultimate capacity of bridge deck it is important to estimate the behavior of bridge deck under the punching shear. For the punching strength it is difficult that the existing research results are applied to the simplified composite deck. In this study for comparing characteristics on punching shear the punching shear tests on simplified composite deck and RC deck are performed. The punching shear strength of simplified composite deck is compared with several bridge design codes.

In this study, a new method of fabricated concrete deck bridge construction is proposed. This paper details the method in which concrete multi-girders and fabricated concrete decks are rested on the upper flange of the girder and the female to female type sheat-key is formed to connect girder and deck. The finite element analysis is performed to verify the accuracy of the structural behaviors of the fabricated concrete deck bridge by comparing with experimental results. The first task performed is the analysis of the equilibrium of the member force occurring between the deck and the girder. After verifying equilibrium of the member force determined by the finite element analysis, this process is applied to the analysis of maximum member force as the position of design load. This task is utilized to determine the safety of each member according to the same scale finite element model. The final process in this study is to compare the deflection of girders used in experiment with that of the same scale finite element model to verify the strength of fabricated cincrete deck bridge. By this comparison, it is shown that the behavior of the fabricated concrete deck bridge is almost same as the finite element analysis. The second task is to analyze the load distribution effect according to the number of diaphragms and the composite effect due to the cinnection of the deck and girder by the finite element analysis. From the results of second task, it is found that the load distribution effect is not related to the number of diaphragms in case of the central loading, but is related to the number of diaphragms for eccentric loading. Analysis of the load distribution indicates that the effective number of diaphragm is three. It is also shown that the maximum deflection is decreased to almost one half due to the composite action of the deck and girder.
