Glass fiber reinforced composite decks have high-strength, light-weight and high durability. The composite decks having vertical snap-fit connections are designed for pedestrian bridges and their structural behaviour are studied. The existing connection method of the composite decks in horizontal direction is replaced by the developed snap-fit connection method in vertical direction. The section shape of the composite decks having the vertical snap-fit connection is designed. The safety of the vertical snap-fit connection is verified by finite element analysis.

Due to many advantages such as lightweight, high durability and speedy construction, increasing number of bridges of various girder types are being built recently with glass-fiber reinforced composite deck. A profile of the composite deck, called 'Delta deck', is developed which has 3 trapezoidal cells of 200mm depth. This paper introduces how to develop 'Delta deck' and its application to the world largest composite-deck bridge, which is 300m long and 35m wide and is currently under construction.

It is proposed to analyze the vibration of slab with MTMD and vibration-induced noise. Substructure synthesis is introduced to develope the interaction between the slab and MTMD which are defined in different space and acoustic power is obtained from the velocity field of slab. Numerical analysis is performed to show that the vibration and noise of slab can be reduced by MTMD. A living room of wall type apartment including the wall and MTMD is modeled and analyzed by FEM program Numerical analysis shows that the vibration and noise control effect is different depending on the location and mass ratio of MTMD. Futhermore, noise is more effectively reduced when the vibration of higher modes of slab are reduced rather than lower modes.

Fatigue Behavior of a GFRP bridge deck consisting of rectangular unit modules is studied by an experimental method. The experiment focuses on how the damage in the transverse direction influence the overall behavior of the deck It is proposed filling the space in each module with a soft foam. Using the recent experimental data, the fatigue behavior is discussed. If the space of the deck is filled with the foam, the fatigue life of the deck was increased about 1,000 times for the same level of the stress variation as the reference deck not filled.

In this study, the Ground Penetrating Radar(GPR) was tested to evaluate the condition of concrete decks. Test results obtained by CPR were compared with values measured from drilled cores and damage mapping by the visual survey. It is shown that GPR can provide highly accurate measurements of layer properties of concrete decks and can map areas of deterioration in bridge decks by dielectric constants. The deck condition can be grouped into categories of "good" or "distressed". The ground penetrating radar data shows promise for producing rapid and accurate condition assessment for bridge decks. And these data can be used to evaluate highway bridge condition and make cost-effective bridge deck rehabilitation by accurately estimating the quantity of deteriorated concrete.

Building structures which are in need of large open space make the damping effect of the structures decrease greatly. Assembly and office buildings with a lower natural frequency have a higher possibility of experiencing excessive vibration induced by human activities. These excessive vibration make the residents uncomfortable and the serviceability deterioration. The loads induced by human activities were classified into two types. First type is in place loads as like jumping, foot stamping and body bouncing. The other type is moving loads as like walking, running and dancing. A series of laboratories experiments had been conducted to study the dynamic loads induced by human activities, The earlier works were mainly concerned to parameters study of dynamic loads as like activity type, weight, sex, surface condition of structure and etc. In this paper, we have measured directly the walking loads by using the platform. And we have evaluated and analyzed load-time history of walking loads. One of the most important parameter is pacing rate (walking speed) in the walking loads. The difference between the maximum value and minimum value of walking loads depends on the walking speed.

In the conventional reinforced-concrete bridge deck, concrete and steels are likely to be deteriorated and corroded under the influence of noxious environment. To cope with these problems caused in the conventional reinforced-concrete bridge deck, pultruded composite bridge deck having light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance and durability is developed. For the DB24 truck load pultruded composite bridge deck is designed and fabricated. For the fabricated and assembled deck panel, structural testing such as flexural test, local fatigue test, flexural fatigue test are conducted to verify the deck capacity experimentally. In this paper design for deck profile, details of connection and experimental results of composite bridge deck are presented.

The constructability of Formwork has a importantly influence on the duration and cost in a construction project. However, the existing studies on the formwork are mainly focused on a method of construction. Although a layout planning of forms, especially, is an important factors affecting the constructability and cost, it is done by engineers empirically and intuitionally after completion of structure design. Therefore this study suggest a decision support model for optimal formwork layout model based on the rearrangement of structural members by using Genetic Algorithm to improve constructability of formwork.

In this study, examined heavy-weight floor impact sound to rahmen structure(steel reinforced concrete structure) and bearing-wall structure(box frame type structure) that have slab thickness of 4 form at a standard laboratory through noise and vibration measured. The results of ANSYS modeling of structures was predicted that the nature natural frequency increased according to change of thickness of each slab by finite element analysis, and acceleration value decreased. Rahmen structures compares with bearing-wall structure, nature frequency was predicted low. Measurement results of natural frequency and acceleration level for structures at a standard laboratory, tendency department such as ANSYS modeling appeared. Rahmen structures appeared that reduction effect is less in Acceleration level and heavy impact sound transmission level comparing with bearing-wall structure.
