Construction techniques for continuous steel bridges were applied to steel-concrete double composite box girder bridges. Concrete depth and length at the bottom of the steel box in the negative moment region were determined by plastic moment region and negative moment region of the double composite section, respectively. Construction methods, such as crane lifting method, free cantilever method, and incremental launching method were used for the analysis of the construction stage. Two cases of the construction phase were considered and analyzed for the stress resultant of double composite girders. The behavior of the nose-deck elastic system was examined by three-dimensionless parameters, such as the nose length, the unit weight of the launching nose, and the flexural stiffness of the nose. The adoption of the launching nose has become an effective solution in the incremental launching of steel-concrete double composite box girder bridges.

In this study, to evaluate fatigue characteristics of developed composite bridge deck, compression fatigue test at girder support and flexural fatigue test for the 2.8m-long flexural test model were carried out. For the test specimen, DB 24 truck load was applied up to 2,000,000 cycles. In the compression fatigue test, behavior at deck tube and its bonded connection were evaluated. In the flexural fatigue test, deck behavior at mid-span and girder connection were evaluated.

Numerical analysis of wind effects on civil engineering structures was performed. Aerodynamic effect often becomes a governing factor and aeroelastic stability boundary becomes a prime criterion which should be confirmed during the structural design stage of bridges because the long-span suspension bridges are prone to the aeroelastic instabilities caused by wind. If the wind velocity exceeds the critical velocity that the bridge can withstand, then the bridge fails due to the phenomenon of flutter. Navier-Stokes equations were used for the aeroelastic analysis of bridge girder section. The aeroelastic simulation is carried out to study the aeroelastic stability of bridges using both Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) and Computational Structural Dynamic (CSD) schemes. Critical flutter velocities were computed for bridges with different stiffness. It was confirmed that the critical flutter velocity of bridge girder section was sensitive to the change of structural stiffness.

It is proper that the load distribution and the actual stress of members is analyzed by field measurement in estimating to the behavior of truss railway bridges, but those procedures are very difficult. So, the studies for the deduction of the stress, using the indirect data which are able to get from the research and investigation without field measurement, are needed. In this study, to investigate quantitically the variation of the stress of members, the stresses are obtained from the simulation which is considered the the reduction of the section area and the stiffness due to the corrosion and the degree of the stress ratio and the distribution is calculated. As the results, the stress of truss members is almost lineary increased to the decreasing of the area and the lower chord is greatly affected. And the increasing of the stress is predicted by the superposition to the results of the amount of that in each members.

Girder bridges and slab bridges are equipped with a system consisting of a flexible joint unit, support, inverted T shaped abutment, and a separate connecting slab structure. These systems have problems such as an increase in cost due to frequent breakage of the expansion joints and a decrease in durability due to a structure with low moment redistribution. To improve these problems, propose Inegral and Semi-Integral Hybrid Slab Bridge and examine the safety through structural analysis. As a result of the review, Inegral and Semi-Integral Hybrid Slab Bridge was the section stiffness is small. but it is confirmed that the structural safety, ductility and flexibility are higher than existing bridges because the moment redistribution and the force transmission are surely performed.

풍하중이 작용하는 교량의 응답을 구하기 위하여 RFA(Rational Function Approximation)와 같은 시간 영역해석법이 널리 사용되고 있다. 교량 단면의 공기역학적 특성을 정의하는 플러터 계수는 주파수 영역에서 정의되기 때문에, 시간 영역해석을 위하여 inverse Fourier transform을 통해 얻어진 impulse response function을 이용한 중첩 적분법이 제안되었다. 시간 영역해석을 위해서는 플러터 계수에 상관성이 존재해야 함을 밝히고, 최적화 방법을 이용하여 시간 영역 해석을 위한 플러터 계수 산정법을 제안하고자 한다. B/D=20의 구형 단면에 적용하여 제안한 방법의 타당성을 검증하고자 한다.

The variations of water surface elevation due to bridge are studied using one_dimensional dynamic wave equation. The preissmann scheme is used to solve the dynamic wave equation and the bridges was treated as internal boundary conditions. Main causes of bridge backwater are the proportion of the contracted area due to bridge, roughness coefficient and discharge coefficient. The effect of discharge coefficient in weir flow condition is comparatively small. This model is verified by applying to the Suyoung River. which suffered a severe damage by typoon Gladys. The rise of water level through bridge is 1.53-1.08m in the reach of 4.25-6.20km from the downstream of river. The simulation results of the model have good agreements with the observed data.

Bridge Management System (BMS) requires a more objective condition assessment over the lifespan of a given bridge. Thus, a quantitative assessment model of resistance capacity was developed here to meet the requirement for deteriorated concrete bridges. The model focuses on damage mechanisms of concrete bridges deteriorated by traffic loads and environment factors such as chloride and carbonation attacks. Also, it was applied to a typical concrete slab bridge which was severely damaged due to both load and environmental conditions. It was shown that the proposed quantitative model simulates well the deterioration level considering the two damage criteria.

Since the structural system of a prestressed concrete bridge erected by Incremental Launching Method is varying continuosly during construction, the main girder bears alternating stress resultants different from those under a service load condition. The magnitude of these stress resultants depends on span lengths, nose length and stiffness ratios between girder and nose. A parametric study is performed for various span lengths, nose lengths and stiffness ratios. In order to analyze structural systems varying at every launching step two programs are developed; a pre-processor which automatically produces a data file for each stage and a main-processor which can summarize the results of all stages. From the results, the relationships between optimum nose length and stiffness ratio are proposed for various span lengths.

The application of 40MPa high strength concrete was accepted as a goal for improving durability and reducing column's section in concrete bridge piers. As a result of applying 40MPa high strength concrete, it could be achieved that column diameter and coping height were reduced into 0.6m, 0.4m, respectively. And crack by heat evolution of hydration did not generate, because of a careful quality and curing control of high strength concrete.
