지반 침하 및 액상화 등에 따른 과도한 상대변위로 인한 매립배관 시스템의 손상을 저감시키기 위해 종종 벨로우즈 신축이음관은 사용된다. 벨로우즈 신축이음관의 성형과정에서 회선의 벽두께 감소와 같은 구조적인 불확실성이 발생할 수 있으며 특히, 벽두께 감소는 벨로우즈 신축이음관의 성능에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 매립배관 시스템의 효율적인 유지관리를 위해 회선의 벽두께 감소에 의한 벨로우즈 신축이음관의 성능평가는 필요하다. 하지만 회선의 벽두께 감소가 벨로우즈 신축이음관의 성능에 미치는 영향을 조사하는 연구는 미미하다. 따라서 본 연구는 기초적인 연구로써 고충실도 유한요소 모델을 이용하여 단조하중을 받는 벨로우즈 신축이음관의 벽두께 감소에 의한 성능을 평가하고 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 각 회선의 벽두께 감소를 20%로 적용하였을 때 최대하중은 약 3% 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며 2번 회선의 벽두께 감소가 최대하중 감소에 비교적 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

The failure of expansion joints for bridges generally occurs in non-shrinkage mortar another problem is the release of anchors in expansion joints due to the impact and vibration that occurs when cars are driving over a bridge. In this study, to overcome the failure of expansion joints that is related to the failure of non-shrinkage mortar, an elastomeric mortar has been developed. The elastomeric mortar has a highly developed pull-out capacity compared with that of non-shrinkage mortar. Moreover, an anchor system that can be changed easily and prevent the fracture of expansion joints has been developed.

This paper presents design specifications and characteristics of bridge expansion joints to develop new type-joints in fiber reinforced polymer decks. Based on properties of the fiber reinforced polymer decks and fundamental process to calculate their expansion length, new expansion joints fur fiber reinforced polymer decks on typical steel or concrete girder are developed and proposed.

Underground structures without the expansion joint in the settled intervals, the underground structures may suffer from structural crack and the water leakage thereby resulting in the occurance of the efflorescence. In this study, the performance of new expansion joint used in underground structures were verified. The spacing of expansion joint was defined by the finite element analysis. Expansion length, resistance and waterproofing performance of developed expansion joint were confirmed by experiment.

The refraction expansion joints have been newly developed by complementing the problems of shock, noise, replaceability, displacement in the direction perpendicular to bridge, vertical difference, which are problems of existing expansion joints. The Refraction expansion joints are characterized by continuous surfaces with small impact and low noise. The behavior of the Refraction expansion joints performs the bridge expansion behavior by rotation of the link. In the rotational behavior of the link, the bolt is the central axis of the behavior. Therefore, it can be said that the durability of the bolt is very important. However, the theoretical and experimental verification of the bolt durability of the Refraction expansion joint is lacking. In this paper, to verify the fatigue durability of the bolt, test specimens with a 300 mm Refraction expansion joint were fabricated. A strain gauge dedicated to the bolt was installed inside the manufactured test specimen bolt. The test method was applied in accordance with KS F 4425. The fatigue durability of the bolts assembled inside the diaphragm expansion joint was confirmed by the repeated fatigue test of 2,000,000 cycles.

This study addresses the analysis of the behavioral characteristics of bridge expansion joints under wheel loading through wheel load test and the proposal of relevant wheel load specifications for expansion joints. To that goal, specimens of rail and finger expansion joints that are widely used in Korea were fabricated and subjected to static wheel load test using a real tire wheel. The wheel load distribution factor in the rail and finger expansion joints in contact with the wheel load was evaluated. The evaluation revealed that the portion of load sustained by the central rail of rail expansion joint was decreasing with larger wheel load, and that the portion of load sustained by the finger expansion joint was practically insensitive to the increase of the contact area and remained nearly constant. Since the wheel load characteristics showed large difference compared to former design specifications, it appears necessary to prepare rational specifications relative to the distribution of the wheel load contact pressure for the design of expansion joints.

Most of domestic expansion joint system was applied by exposed expansion joint system. There are cases where it is damaged by driving. As the result noise and impact happened, and the social cost due to frequent repair works is increasing. So based on the Asphalt Plug Joint(APJ) system that applied in the United States and Europe, new buried expansion joint system was lately developed a system of Buried Folding Lattice Joint(BFLJ) that changed substructure. In this research, we have tested for durability and flexibility performance of buried expansion joint system that based on the type of asphalt mixture. Also we have evaluated for durability of BFLJ system against vehicle load using accelerated pavement testing. As a result of the experiment, the developed BFLJ system gives high flexibility performance and resolves transformation concentration along the joint section more than APJ system. Also it could be seen that the BFLJ system could overcome the disadvantages of APJ and prevent early damage. Because surface deflection of BFLJ system against vehicle load was measured low, and sub system in the buried expansion joint system was not damaged against vehicle load.

Durability was evaluated by performing a full-scale vertical load fatigue test and a wheel load performance test on the HRS, which reduces the replacement time of the existing expansion joint and improves serviceability to allow partial replacement by lane. As a result of the vertical load fatigue test, the maximum stress of the rail-type expansion joint is 170 MPa, which is about 47.8% of the yield strength of the HRS expansion joint rail 355 MPa. The vertical load fatigue test of the HRS expansion joint with improved serviceability set the size and load of the load plate according to the road bridge design standards, did not show any fracture behavior in the vertical load fatigue test and the wheel load performance test 2 million times, and its durability and safety were verified.

The expansion joint is an important part of the bridge, but the failure is occurred on the non-shrinkage concrete which is connected to the slab of the bridge and the expansion joint, and the other problem is the release of anchors in expansion joint due to the impact and vibration during the driven car on the bridge, especially an overloaded car. In this study, to overcome the failure of non-shrinkage of concrete, high impact resisting mortar is developed. The high impact resisting mortar shall be a polyurethane material compounded with an aggregate system to develop excellent flexibility characteristics, high load bearing capacity.
