Hollows are easily made and bearing capacity is lowered near underground structures of concrete pavement because of poor compaction and long term settlement of the ground. Distresses occur and lifespan is shortened because of larger stress induced by external loadings expected than that in the design. In this paper, the distresses of the concrete pavement slab over box culverts were investigated at the Korea Expressway Corporation(KEC) test road. The transverse cracking of the slabs over the culverts was compared between up and down lines with different soil cover depth. The box culvert without soil cover and concrete pavement were modeled and analyzed by the finite element method(FEM) to verify the transverse cracking at the test road. Wheel loading was applied after self weight of the pavement and temperature gradient of the concrete slab at Yeojoo, Gyeonggi where the test road is located were considered. Positions of maximum tensile stress and corresponding positions of the wheel loading were found for each loading combination. Joint position minimizing the maximum tensile stress was found and optimal slab length over the culverts with diverse size were suggested.

According to the functions of city are getting more complicate and diverse, recently the concerns about underground space have been risen, and many infra-structures for social activities are now constructed under the ground. To maintain these kind of infra-structures effectively, it is necessary for concerned workers to access easily to the existing drawings and design information. and to modify the design drawings immediately o the changes of design value. And in the field of construction, immediate structural analysis and generation of design drawings will help to promote manufacturing ability, the quality of products, and the effectiveness of maintenance of design materials effectively.

This paper deals with the characteristics of deformation of the underground corrugated steel plate culverts constructed in the areas where the minimum depth of within 1.5 m soil cover is not secured in the bottom of highways. The underground corrugated steel plate culverts at shallow depth are often designed and constructed with the consideration of the minimum depth of soil cover according to the design standards, which was made in order to minimize any deformation. Additionally, if under unfavorable conditions, slabs are set up for stress relaxation to disperse and minimize the weight of loads transferred to the corrugated steel plate culverts. Nevertheless, if the underground corrugated steel plate culverts are built in areas where the minimum depth of soil cover inevitably cannot be secured, there may occur some deformation. In this paper, a research was carried out to identify the characteristics of deformation in areas where the minimum depth of soil cover is not secured. The result shows that there existed the deterioration of pavement and in its smoothness around the corners of slabs for stress relaxation. To this end, this paper studied the structural stability of the underground corrugated steel plate culverts established in the areas with no minimum depth of soil cover secured, with the consideration of causes and solutions of pavement deterioration.

하천내에서 작은 물고기의 국지적인 회유 또는 이동 습성은 먹이를 구하고, 산란 및 성장과 집단에서 분산하고, 위험으로부터 도피하는 것에 밀접한 연관이 있다. 하천의 합류부와 연결부에 제방(levee), 도로(road) 등이 설치되는 경우 일반적으로 암거형태의 인공수로로 상 하류를 연결되는데, 암거내 수리특성상 평수시 저유량, 고유속, 저수심의 수리특성을 보인다. 이러한 수리특성은 물고기가 이동하는데 장애(barrier)가 되어 생태적으로 하천내 종다양성 감소와 일부 어종의 멸종을 초래한다. 어도 설치시 설계기준에서 가장 주목할 부분은 어도를 이용할 대상어종의 범위와 유영능력이다. 하천설계기준(2005, 한국수자원학회)에서 제시된 물고기의 유영능력은 대부분 국외 어종을 대상으로 외국에서 실험한 결과를 이용하고 있다. 그러므로 이러한 기준이 국내 어종에 대해 적합한지에 대한 검토가 필요하다. 본 실험의 목적은 국지회유성인 피라미와 각시붕어가 인공수로를 통과할 때의 유영행동 중 소상성공율과 유영속력을 평가하고자 함이다. 유영행동의 실험방법은 Brett(1967)에 의해 제안된 2가지 방법인 증진유속방법과 고정유속 방법중에서 물고기의 이동경로와 소상능력을 확인하기에 용이한 고정유속방법을 사용하였다. 또한, 효과적인 실험을 위해 실험어종(피라미 100마리, 각시붕어 100마리)이 실험 중에 최적의 건강상태를 유지할 수 있도록 물고기의 적응 기간(24시간)과 실험 중 휴식기간을 두었다. 실험결과 체형이 방추형(fujiform)인 피라미의 경우 평균유속 $0.7{\sim}0.8m/s$구간에서 소상성공율이 61%에서 26%로 급격하게 하락하는 현상이 나타났다. 그리고 측편형(compressiform)의 체형을 가진 각시붕어의 경우 평균유속 0.4m/s에서 소상성공율이 25%로 나타났으며 그 이상의 유속에서는 10%이하로 나타났다. 실험어종의 이동경로를 분석한 결과 대부분 수로바닥에 밀착하여 최저유속구간을 이용하여 이동하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이동경로의 지점유속은 평균 유속의 70%정도로 나타났다. 실제 하천에 설치된 인공수로가 생태통로의 기능을 유지하기 위해서는 평상시 수리특성이 대상어종의 유영능력을 초과하지 않도록 설계되어야 한다. 특히, 하천에 설치된 인공수로의 길이가 $5{\sim}10m$정도일 경우라면 피라미의 소상 가능성을 50% 이상 확보하기 위해서는 평수시 설계유속이 0.7m/s를 초과하지 않아야 할 것으로 판단된다.

The structures that use the bridge plates are considered to have advantages such as short work term, excellent economical efficiency and low maintenance cost. Bridge plates are being widely used for water ducts and eco-corridors as replacements of reinforced concrete ducts. Bridge plates are deep and have greater pitch as compare to conventionally deep corrugated steel plate. They are expected to be increasingly used in the future. The structures that use bridge plates have two forms, such as arch type and box type. The arch type structures are designed based on the compressive strength, and the box type structures, based on the moment in the plate member. In this study, the ultimate strength and moment strength of the connection part of the specimens were examined by their thickness. Static and bending tests used to evaluate the performance of bridge plate. Finally, These results were used in the design process.

In this study, computer program for the optimum design of two continuous box culvert was developed. It was shown that even though the starting points and optimization method are different, the objective function and optimum design variables converge to a value within a close range respectively, and consequently the optimum design program developed in this study is reliable and robust. MMFD is the most efficient one from the viewpoint of convergency and computing time.
