Recently the slab span-jointing method has been employed as one of the retrofit technologies to enhance the capacity of existing simple beam bridges in many cases. In general this method makes simple beam bridges behave like multi-span continuous bridges under service loads excluding self weight in company with external prestress force method in the field. In this paper the continuation effect has been studied for the retrofitted bridges by the experimental and numerical approaches. The results show that the deflections and stresses of members are reduced due to the increase of the total stiffness of bridge system and the efficiency of bridge continuation based on the slab span-jointing method is about 40 % when comparing with the case of continuous bridges.

A method to calculate maximum dynamic deflection, which is close to the measured deflection, was proposed by comparing the real deflection with the claculated one in three span continuous highway steel bridge. From this, the pattern of variation of impact factors depending an vehicle speeds and weights was studied in simple and continuous bridges. From the numerical analysis, it was known that the maximum dynamic deflection which is close to the measured one could be obtained by using the transformed flexural rigidity of a bridge, and the factors are generally increased with increasing vehicle speed. However, it was thought that there are some problems in the code specification about the impact factors of the continuous bridges.

As the geometrical characteristic of the curved bridge, the seismic response of curved bridges are different from straight bridges. This study analyzed the seismic response of the curved bridges considering diverse factors such as radius of curvature, direction of seismic load and support condition. The improved simple modeling of the curved bridge for seismic analysis is proposed, and it is compared with the detail modeling in order to verify the simple modeling. Three simply supported curved bridges and six 3-span continuous bridges are selected for seismic analysis. The behavior of curved bridges are evaluated in terms of the displacement and the force at supports and piers under seismic load applied in various directions. The results of this study show that upward reaction force may appear in simply supported curved bridge under seismic load. And continuous curved bridges are affected by the direction of the seismic load.

Long-rails in railways and high-speed railway are subjected to additional stresses resulted from the displacements inconsistence between upper structures, and this phenomenon is more remarkable in continuous bridges than in simple bridges. For the sake of safety, railways have to guarantee trains to stop safely without derailment even in the event of earthquake. The influences of acceleration, braking, and temperature were analyzed by static nonlinear method. But earthquake loads that require dynamic nonlinear analysis are not considered in these methods. Because linear relation between relative displacements of decks and rail stresses is not guaranteed at the nonlinear systems such as long rails on the bridges, it is required compute to rail stresses considering both braking and earthquake load by nonlinear dynamic analysis method. In this study, dynamic analysis method with material non-linearity for rails on continuous bridges according to the Taiwan High Speed Railway(THSR) Design Specification volume 9 was developed. And additional stresses and displacements of long rails for acceleration, braking, and earthquake loads were analyzed by this method.

본 연구는 합성교량의 경우 브라켓이나 가로보에 사용되고 비합성교량의 경우 연결재로 사용되는 스랩앵커를 Push-Out Test를 하여 실험으로 얻은 특성을 실제 소수주형모델에 적용하여 FEM해석을 통하여 거동특성을 파악 하고자 한다. 일반적으로 전단연결재 실험의 경우 콘크리트 슬래브와 강재 주형 사이에 직접 길이 방향 전단력을 작용시킬 수 있을 뿐 아니라 실험의 편리함 때문에 주로 Push-out 실험이 많이 이용되고 있다. 본 실험에서는 BS-5400에 제시된 바에 근거하여 실험체를 제작하였다. 이 실험을 통하여 탄성구간에서의 강성(k) 값을 알아내어 3D FEM 해석에 적용한다. 이때 콘크리트 바닥판과 강재와의 연결을 축 방향으로는 특정한 강성 값을 넣을 수 있는 Joint Element를 사용하여 연결시키고, 1경간 단순지지와 2경간 연속교에 대하여 연구를 수행하는데, 1경간 단순지지의 경우에는 Joint Element에 여러 강성 값과 실험을 통해 얻은 강성 값을 적용하여 합성거동을 파악하고 강성 값에 따른 합성정도를 규명하고자 한다. 또한 2경간 연속교에서는 슬랩앵커의 강성 값을 적용하여 많이 문제시되고 있는 내부지점부에 슬랩앵커를 사용하였을 때 슬래브의 인장응력이 어떤 변화양상을 나타내는지 파악 하고자한다.

In this study, the structural analysis was conducted to the comparison of reaction force and contact pressure on the design truck load (DB-24 and KL-510) of slab bridge supported by MSEW abutment. As a result of the structural analysis, the reaction force acting on the abutment at the continuous bridge was reduced rather than the simple span bridge. The reaction force due to the dead load was estimated to be about twice as large as that of the live load, and the influence of the live load on the total reaction force was relatively small. The contact pressure of the MSEW abutment was estimated to be the largest in the simple span bridge. The influence of contact pressure on the type of live load was relatively small. Therefore, it is considered to be more advantageous to apply the MSEW abutment to the continuous bridge than to the simple span bridge because the contact pressure acting on the abutment on the continuous bridge is estimated to be small. Since the reaction force and the load sharing ratio acting on the MSEW abutment depending on various conditions, it is necessary to examine the contact pressure in various types of bridges and specifications.

The inelastic design of the three-span continuous composite plate girder with consideration of moment redistribution over the interior pier is performed using the LRFD method. The design of the girder section, based on the inelastic method, is compared with that by the conventional elastic design. The length of the center span for the three-span continuous bridge ranges from 40m to 70m and the relative ratio of the span length is assumed to be 4:5:4. Although the AASHTO- LRFD specifications are applied in the design of the composite girder, the recently proposed new design live load is used. After determining the maximum positive and negative sections by the elastic design for various limit states, the amount of moment redistributed to the maximum positive moment section is calculated. With the increased design moment due to moment redistribution from the interior pier, the maximum positive section designed by the elastic method is checked for the strength limit state and the service limit state. The maximum negative moment section is redesigned by reducing the size of the steel girder relative to the section designed by the elastic method and the new section is checked for the service limit state. Based on the design results for the five bridges considered in this study, it is estimated that about 23% of steel can be saved in the interior pier section if it is designed by the inelastic method compared with that designed by the elastic method.
