A Collapse of bridge by ship's collision to the bridge post may lead a great calamity. This paper investigates on avoiding collision between a ship and bridge by improvement of environmental factors, submitting a counter plan of reducing collision effect by triangular type of collision protecting bar and ship maneuvering skills. Putting up collision protecting bar fences of triangular type around the bridge posts would decrease the collision impact force by 75 percent.

There is a concern with worldwide deterioration of highway bridges, particularly reinforced concrete. The advantages of fibre reinforced plastic(FRP) composites over conventional materials motivate their use in highway bridges for replacement of structures. Recently, an FRP deck has been installed on a state highway, located in New York State, as an experimental project. In this paper, a systematic approach for analysis of this FRP deck bridge is presented. Multi-step linear numerical analyses have been performed using the finite element method to study the structural behavior and the possible failure mechanism of the FRP deck-superstructure system. Deck's self-weight and ply orientations at the interface between steel girders and FRP deck are considered in this study. From this research, the results of the numerical analyses were corroborated with field test results. Analytical results reveal several potential failure mechanism for the FRP deck and truss bridge system. The results presented in this study may be used to propose engineering design guideline for new and replacement FRP bridge deck structure.

교량(橋梁)의 동적응답(動的應答)을 파악하기 위해서는 노면(路面)조도에 의해 영향을 받는 차량의 거동 파악이 중요하게 된다. 최근, 교량의 상판(床版)등에서 발생되는 피로(疲勞)의 영향에 대한 관심이 고조되어 서서히 교통진동의 3차원 모델링에 대한 중요성이 대두되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 교량에 발생되는 교통진동(交通振動)의 영향을 좀더 정확히 표현하기 위하여 3차원 해석 방법을 제시한다. 해석방법으로 유한 요소법이 이용되었고, 차량 모델링은 하나의 전축(煎軸)과 두 개의 후축(後軸)을 갖는 8자유도계(自由度系) 차량 모델을 이용하여 수치 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 동적(動的) 연립미분방정식(聯立微分方程式)의 해법에서는 Newmark-${\beta}$법(法)을 이용하였고, 가상 노면요철(凹凸)모델링에서는 정상불규칙과정(定常不規則過程)으로 가정하여 노면 요철(凹凸)을 생성하여 시뮬레이션에 사용하였다. 또한 실제 차량 및 교량에서의 실측치와 비교하여 모델의 검증을 수행하였다.

고속열차(KTX)를 지지하는 구조물은 차량과 지속적인 접촉을 갖는 구조를 가지고 있으므로 고속열차의 운행 안정성(동적거동)을 고려한 설계가 필요하다. 또한, 상부 구조물은 고속열차의 연행이동집중하중을 지지하며, 이러한 하중조건을 갖는 차량이 운행할 때 상부 구조물은 설계 기준사항들을 만족해야한다. 호남고속철도 설계지침에 의하면 고속열차(KTX)의 운행 안정성을 평가하기 위한 항목들로 대상 교량의 고유진동수, 상판 수직가속도, 면틀림 그리고 승차감을 고려한 연직처침 등이 요구된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 KTX의 실 열차하중을 고려하여 연행이동집중하중으로 아치 교량의 동적거동을 검토하였으며, 호남고속철도 설계지침을 적용하여 대상 교량의 운행 안정성을 평가하였다.

The concrete work of bridge decks is performed in a high place, which may reduce safety and productivity. In addition, the conventional method for deck forms require a great deal of manpower, and a form (sheathing) board is damaged when removed after curing. As a result, the concrete deck work of bridge construction becomes the cause of delayed construction and increased cost. To solve these problems, SMART form, a system form, is developed. SMART form is a temporary device for easier installation and removal, by mounting it to the lower flange of a bridge girder and using a mechanical behavior of the form system for deck concrete pouring. For stable installation and removal of the developed SMART form, geometric behaviors should be analyzed to prove its validity. Furthermore, the validity of geometric behaviors when the SMART form size is altered in response to the various arrangement of bridge girders should be proved. Thus, the study is intended to analyze the geometric validity of the form system for bridge deck concrete pouring. The structural stability of the form system for bridge deck concrete pouring can be secured, which will be applied in the field.

Unlike general construction works, bridge construction is mostly done in a high place. The conventional deck form of bridge is installed between precast concrete girders using sleepers, bridging joints and plywoods, and after concrete is poured to the deck, the form materials are removed at high altitudes. When removing the form, it may be dropped on ground, damaging the materials and resulting in economic loss. In addition, safety accidents are likely as the works are performed in a high place, and as the manpower increases, the cost increases. Also, it is difficult to install and remove temporary equipment. Therefore, it is required to develop a system form that allows easier and quicker installation and removal by unskilled workers and ensures safety of workers. In this regard, the study is intended to analyze requirements for the system form for pouring concrete to bridge decks, which can be easily installed and removed. The study result will be used as basic information for development of the system form for pouring concrete to bridge decks.

Most widened bridges have been constructed by the joining-construction method that makes new and existmg bridges structurally a single structure. Since the joining-constructiori method has several problems in design and construction viewpoint, this study is conducted in order to investigate the flexural fatigue behavior of RC slabs, which are widened and influenced by traffic-induced vibration of existmg bridge during placing and curing of new concrete, with the prototype fatigue test. It was found that stress concentration at the jclmts anti slips between steel bar and concrete are occured. Hut, the general tx:havinrs are similar to the original state and joining-construction method using expansive concrete nut~gated the influence of the trafflc-induced vibration.

Since the joining-construction method has several problems in design and construction viewpoint, this study is conducted in order to investigate the structural behaviors of RC slabs, which are widened and influenced by traffic-induced vibration of existing bridge during placing and curing of new concrete, with the prototype flexural strength test and FEM analysis. It was found that cracks are generated in construction joint at low applied load and that stress concentration at the joints and slips between steel bar and concrete are occured. But, the decreasing of load carrying capacity is negligible according to the traffic-induced vibration as well as the difference of construction method.

This study investigates the effect of carbon fiber sheet (CFS) and carbon fiber strand sheet (CFSS) on the fatigue resistance and compressive strength of RC slabs. The results of a comparison of the number of equivalent cycles between the CFS- and CFSS-reinforced RC slab test specimens obtained from a fatigue test indicate that the CFSS-reinforced RC slab has 1.2~1.3 times greater effect of reinforcement than the CFS-reinforced RC slab. This study also indicates that the fatigue resistance of the CFS- and CFSS-reinforced RC slabs is ensured when the compressive strength of concrete is not lower than the specified design strength prescribed in the Specifications for Highway Bridges but is not ensured when the compressive strength of concrete is lower than the specified design strength, although the effect of reinforcement is secured.

n the event of an earthquake, additional stresses can occur in the continuous welded rails (CWR) of High-speed railway (HSR) bridges due to relative displacements at expansion joints, and this stress can cause derailment. The amplification of ground motion occurs as a result of site effects, and this is pronounced at the site of a soft surface soil layer and of a rigid surface soil layer over a soft one. As a result, the amplified ground motion leads to an amplified seismic response in HSR bridges. A change in bridge pier height affects the seismic behavior of the bridge. A HSR bridge with gravel ballast tracks will show different dynamic behavior during an earthquake than one with concrete ballast tracks. The seismic responses of HSR bridges and their CWR are analyzed considering the derailment-inducing factors.
