Most of the bridge systems, including the girders, cross-beams, and concrete decks behave as specially orthotropic plates. In general, the analytical solution for such complex system is very difficult to obtain. In this paper presented, a design method of slab bridge of simple supported made by composite materials. For the design of bridge made by the composite materials, cross-section was used the form-core shape because of this shape is economical and profitable, and for output of the stress value used finite difference method. In this paper, the rate of tensile strength reduction due to increased size was considered. Strength-failure analysis procedure, using the reduced tensile strength, was presented. And also numerical study was made for these cases.

To improve the effectiveness and economics the bridge design methodology considering the bridge/rail longitudinal analysis and bridge/vehicle dynamic effect suggested in this study. The reliability-based Life-Cycle Costs(LCC) effective optimum design is applied to a 2-main steel girder bridge, 5$\times$(1@50m) for comparison with conventional design, initial cost optimization and equivalent LCC optimization. As a result of the optimum design based on reliability, it may be stated that the design of High-Speed railway bridges considering the bridge/rail longitudinal analysis and bridge/vehicle dynamic effect are more efficient than typical existing bridges and LCC optimization without respect to bridge/rail longitudinal analysis and bridge/vehicle dynamic effect. The result of optimization design considering the interaction, design methodology suggested in this study, is higher than result of initial cost optimization design in initial cost, but that has the advantage than result of initial cost optimization design in expected LCC.

The main girders and cross-beams of an H-beam bridge consisted of factory-made H-beams, providing better conditions for quality control. Also, on-site fabrication works can be minimized and most of the stiffeners can be omitted, enabling simple and economic construction. In this study, the effect of the Multi-Stepwise TPSM (M-TPSM) on improving the maximum span length and section efficiency is analyzed. Compared to a 30-m-long, five-girder conventional plate girder bridge, structural analysis results showed that 50.7~55.1% of the girder height and 24.1~26.2% of the self-weight may be reduced by the application of M-TPSM to a five-girder H-beam bridge constructed with H-$900{\times}300$beams. In case of conventional H-beam bridges without M-TPSM, it was found that seven girders are required for a similar level of load-carrying capacity. Therefore, it is concluded that by the application of the M-TPSM, the H-beam bridge would become one of most cost-competitive options for short- and medium-span bridges.

The conventional design of prestressed concrete box girder bridges has been based on the linear elastic analyses using simplified geometric models. To overcome the restriction involved in the simplifications, a macro element for the rational analysis of prestressed concrete box girder bridges with variable cross sections is incorporated in the present analysis. Through the adoption of nonlinear material models, the behaviour of prestressed box bridges up to ultimate loading stage can be examined. The time dependent material models included in the present macro element code enable to predict the long term behaviour of prestressed concrete box girder bridges. The proposed macro element code with the nonlinear material models and time dependent routines can be efficiently used for the realistic analysis of prestressed concrete box girder bridges with arbitrary shapes.

Recently, the maintenance activity for aging of bridge structures was difficult because of traffic jam, environment pollution and increasing cost. And to solve these problems, modular bridge research has been studied. After static and cyclic loading test was conducted for serviceability and bending performance with one way slab, effective moment of inertia of modular specimen was analyzed to estimate the deflection by KCI(2012). To conduct the test, one integral slab and three modular slabs were made for static loading and one integral and modular slab were made for cyclic. As a result of the test, the modular slab had the similar bending performance of the integral. But the ultimate deflection showed the insufficient which was smaller than 20%. In the cyclic loading test, the modular slab has different behavior of deflection with the integral, so it was evaluated difficult for serviceability. In addition, effective moment of inertia by KCI(2012) was not estimated for modular slab with connection. The new value of m which was ratio between moments is 4.53 based on result of test for predicting deflection of modular.

In the study, computational fluid dynamics analysis was performed to estimate wind force coefficients for a box-type concrete girder bridge under the influence of wind. The drag, lift and pitching moment coefficients were obtained for the bridge section without noise barrier and compared with those of the bridge section with noise barriers of various heights. The shear stress transport $k-{\omega}$ turbulence model was employed to estimate the wind force coefficients, and the contribution of the friction drag force to the total drag force was investigated. It was found from the study that the drag force coefficients increased as the height of noise barrier increased when a wind blew horizontally, and that the contribution of the friction drag force was highest for the bridge section without noise barrier. It is concluded that the impact of the height of noise barriers should be considered in the design of bridges, and the friction force played an important role in evaluating wind forces on bridges.

하천유량측정은 불가피하게 사교형태의 교량에서 측정을 해야하는 경우가 적지 않다. 이러한 교량에서의 유량측정은 수위-단면적이 과대산정되어 유량 역시 크게 산정되므로 이에 대한 보정을 필요로 한다. 본 연구에서는 왕숙천에 위치한 퇴계원 수위관측소 하류 400m 위치에서의 도섭법을 통한 횡단면 측선각도 변화에 따른 유량차의 비교와 오산천에 위치한 약 $45^{\circ}$ 사교(탑동대교)의 탑동 수위관측소 위치의 교량법을 이용한 유량측정 성과, 한탄강에 위치한 약 $15^{\circ}$ 사교(한탄대교)의 전곡 수위관측소 상류 1km에 위치한 한탄대교에서의 교량법 측정 성과에 따른 유량차를 비교 분석하였다. 한강유역 왕숙천, 오산천, 한탄강에 위치한 퇴계원 지점, 탑동 지점, 전곡 지점에서 실시간 수위에 따른 유속을 측정하였으며, 퇴계원 지점에서는 횡단면에 직각인 측선을 기준 값으로 제시하고, 횡단방향각의 정도를 $10^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $50^{\circ}$으로 늘려 산정을 하였고, 탑동과 전곡 지점에서는 사교에서의 횡단각을 측정하여 사교의 각을 산정한 후 보정 전 후의 유량 값을 비교 분석하였다. 측정에 사용된 기기는 Price AA 유속계이고, 측정방법은 도섭법과 교량법을 적용하였다. 그 결과 직각인 측선에서 측정한 유량보다 사교형태에서 측정한 유량이 크게 산정되었다. 각 지점의 보정전 후 유량비는 탑동 지점 약 41.42%, 전곡 지점 약 3.53%로 산정되어 $15^{\circ}$ 사교의 전곡 지점에 비해 $45^{\circ}$ 사교의 탑동 지점의 보정전 후 유량차이가 크게 나타남에 따라 각이 클수록 유량 역시 과대하게 산정됨을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 유량측정을 실시할 경우 유량의 흐름방향을 기준으로 직각의 유량측정을 실시하여 유량을 산정하되 부득이한 경우로 사교에서의 측정이 이루어졌을시 흐름 방향을 기준으로 각도를 측정하여 크게 나타나는 수위-단면적에 각보정하여 유량을 산정함이 오차를 줄일 수 있으며, 신뢰성 있는 유량자료 생산의 방법이라 할 수 있겠다.

In this paper presented, a design method of sandwich slab bridge of simple supported made by composite materials. Many of the bridge systems, including the girders and cross-beams, and concrete decks behave as the special orthotropic plates. Such systems with sections, boundary conditions other than Navier or Levy solution types, or with irregular cross sections, analytical solution is very difficult to obtain. Thus, Finite Difference Method is used for analysis of the pertinent problem. For the design of bridge made by the composite materials, cross-section is used the form-core shape because of this shape is economical and profitable, and for output of the stress value used F.D.M. Based the experimental of a composite specialist, an equation expressing the rate of decrease of tensile strength of glass fibers based on increase of mass was obtained. From these equations, one can estimate the rate of tensile strength reduction due to increased size. Tasi-Wu failure criterion for stress space is used. Strength-failure analysis procedure, using these reduced tensile strength, is presented.

Member force, strain and stress distribution of a section are obtained for optimized standard 25m~45m PSSC composite bridge subjected to dead and live load in order to interpret the effect of prestressing and deformation of tendon. The stress and strain distribution and moment capacity are obtained for both noncomposite and composite section and for allowable stress limit state, yield limit state and strength limit state. Reliability analysis is conducted after assuming limit states for stress and flexural strength. The reliability index for standard PSSC composite bridge which is designed to satisfy the allowable stress for flexural strength are higher than 3.5 which is required reliability indexes on American code for LRFD. Reliability of PSSC girder which is designed based on allowable stress of bridge design code is high for flexural strength.
