Currently, the response correction factor is calculated by comparing the response measured by the load test on a bridge with the response analyzed in the initial analytical model. Then the load rating and the load carrying capacity are evaluated. However, the response correction factor gives a value that fluctuates depending on the measurement location and load condition. In particular, when the initial analytical model is not suitable for representing the behavior of a bridge, the range of variation is large and the analysis response by the calibrated model may give a result that is different from the measured response. In this study, a pseudo-static load test was applied to obtain static response with dynamic components removed under various load conditions of a vehicle moving at a low speed. Static response was measured on two similar PSC-I girder bridges, and the response correction factors for displacement and strain were calculated for each of the two bridges. When the initial analysis model was not properly set up, it is verified that the response of the analytical model corrected by the average response correction factor does not fall within the margin of error with the measured response.

This study was performed to estimate the workability and the static behavior for Bi Prestressed Concrete Girder(Bicon girder) which could introduce effectively prestressed forces into concrete girders. A bicon girder is manufactured by means of introducing pure bending moment that prestress simultaneously the compressive member(steel bar) and the tensile member(steel tendon). Static test was executed for 20m railway bridge girder specimen and evaluated whether pure bending moment was introduced or not, and the behaviors after cracking, and at the ultimate load. Test results showed that a bicon girder had the enough safety in the introduction of pure moment, the serviceability, and the ultimate behavior.

The compaction control method of national road substructure is using field density test to determine the relative compaction and plate bearing test to check the load bearing capacity. However, these two tests digitize a construction site manager's judgment based on his experience, so mechanical basis is weak. Resilient modulus method, which is recently being used to resolve such problem, is evaluated as a rational design method of pavement structure that can rationally reflect the stress-strain state of pavement materials that is caused by the condition of load repetition of vehicle load. However, the method of measuring the resilient modulus is difficult and lengthy, and it has many problems. To replace it, light falling weight test is recently being proposed as a simple test method. Therefore, this research uses dynamic plate loading test, which quickly and simply measures the elastic modulus of the subgrade and sub-base construction and site of maintenance, to judge the possibility of compaction control of the stratum under the road, and it proposes relation formula by analyzing the result of static load test.

To improve the pile design efficiency(design bearing capacity/the strength of materials) from 70 percent(160tonf) to 80 percent(190tonf), this paper analysed the existing pile loading test data and performed the precise dynamic loading test and Bi-directional loading test for the first time in Korea. Analysis result of the existing dynamic loading test data by Davisson method showed that bearing capacity of piles penetrated at weathered rock stratum(N=50/15) exceeded 190tonf. But the analysis result by CAPWAP method showed that piles less than the target bearing capacity were 40% due to the lack of impact energy. To get the target bearing capacity from the dynamic loading test, using the hammer over 6tonf to trigger the enough impact energy is necessary. Allowable bearing capacty of Bi-directional static loading test by Davisson method was 260.0~335tonf(ave. 285.3tonf) and exceeded overwhelmingly the target capacity. And this exceeded the bearing capacity of precise dynamic loading test(ave. 202.3tonf) performed on the same piles over 40%. The difference between the capacity of Bi-directional loading test and dynamic loading test was caused by the insufficient impact energy during dynamic loading test and increase by interlocking effect by near piles during Bi-directional static loading test.

In this study, a structural concrete square beam was developed using the centrifugal molding technique. In order to secure the bending stiffness of the cross section, the hollow rate of the cross section was set to 10% or less. Instead of using the current poor mixture of concrete, a special formwork for producing a centrifugal square beam was manufactured, and a concrete mixing ratio with a high slump (150-200) and a design strength of 100 MPa or more was developed and applied. The produced centrifugally formed rectangular beams were subjected to performance tests according to the standard bending and shear test standards for centrifugally formed members. The static load test results for the four specimens exceeded both the nominal bending strength and nominal shear strength, which are design values through structural design, proving the structural reliability of the ultra-high-strength centrifugally formed square beam.

A fundamental study of drilled shafts subjected to lateral cyclic loading in weathered soil was carried out based on field tests and numerical analysis. The emphasis was given on quantifying the cyclic p-y curve function from lateral cyclic loading tests and three-dimensional finite element analysis. Lateral cyclic loading tests and three-dimensional finite element analysis were carried out to investigate the behavior of drilled shafts according to the direction of cyclic loading. Based on the field tests and numerical analysis, a modified lateral load transfer relationship and design chart with degradation factors were proposed by considering the characteristics of cyclic loading. It was found that the prediction by the proposed p-y curve function is in good agreement with the general trends observed by in-situ measurements, and it represents a practical improvement in the prediction of lateral displacement and bending moment distribution of drilled shafts subjected to cyclic loading.

According to a domestic provision, test levels of the barrier are divided into seven categories(SB1 to SB7) and the corresponding crash conditions are specified. Meanwhile, standard types of concrete barriers with different dimensions have been constructed nation wide. Some studies aimed at finding a proper test level of each type of the concrete barrier have been carried out, but the reliable and consistent results have not been fully established yet. The purpose of this study is to find out the test level corresponding to the concrete barrier of type-2 through static test. AASHTO LRFD was referred to for the loading pattern and a magnitude of the load that simulate a vehicle crash assumed. The test results show that the ultimate strength of the type-2 satisfies the load level required for SB5. However, it seems that the type-2 does not comply with SB6, showing some differences in results from previous analytical studies. In order to take advantage of the static test in establishing the test level of the domestic barrier, more detailed provisions should be specified.

Static loading test was performed on a composite girder with an I-shaped steel girder and SUPER concrete on the top of the steel in order to evaluate flexural behavior characteristics. Total length of the test specimen was 25m long and the depth was 786mm including compressive concrete section('casing' hereafter) with 80MPa strength. 4-point loading on simply-supported beam was applied up to 2,010kN. Results showed that yield strength at tensile steel was 2.7 times greater than service load and the ratio of ductility was 1.481. No cracks were found on the casing surface and the relative slip between different sections was insignificant.

반복하중을 받는 현장타설말뚝에 대한 두 가지의 주요 관심사항은: (a) 지지력의 변화 가능성 그리고 (b) 누적변형량에 의한 기초의 가능성 저하이다. 이러한 인자들에 대한 평가를 위하여, 모형점토지반에 설치된 24개의 모형현장타설말뚝에 대한 정적 및 동적경사재하시험(12개의 압축 및 12개의 인발)을 수행하였다. 경사반복압축재하시험에서는 반복하중에 의한 지지력의 변화가 무시할 정도였으며, 누적변형량은 송전철탑의 기능성에 영향을 줄수도 있을 것으로 사료된다. 그러나, 경사반복인발시험에서는 과도한 누적변형이 발생하게 되어 결과적으로 현장타설말뚝주변과 점토사이의 접촉면적이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 접촉면적의 감소 결과, 반복경사인발하중에 의해서 경사인발지지력의 현저한 감소가 일어난다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 정적경사인발지지력의 50에서 70퍼센트에 해당되는 반복하중을 받는 대부분의 현장타설말뚝들은 인발되었다.
