Generally, PSC girder bridge uses total gross cross section to resist applied loads unlike reinforced concrete member. Also, it is used as short and middle span (less than 30 m) bridges due to advantages such as ease of design and construction, reduction of cost, and convenience of maintenance. But, due to recent increased public interests for environmental friendly and appearance appealing bridges all over the world, the demands for longer span bridges have been continuously increasing. This trend is shown not only in ordinary long span bridge types such as cable supported bridges but also in PSC girder bridges. In order to meet the increasing demands for new type of long span bridges, PSC hollow box girder with H-type steel as compression reinforcements is developed for bridge with a single span of more than 50 m. The developed PSC girder applies compressive prestressing at H-type compression reinforcements using unbonded PS tendon. The purpose of compressive prestressing is to recover plastic displacement of PSC girder after long term service by releasing the prestressing. The static test composed of 4 different stages in 3-point bending test is performed to verify safety of the bridge. First stage loading is applied until tensile cracks form. Then in second stage, the load is removed and the girder is unloaded. In third stage, after removal of loading, recovery of remaining plastic deformation is verified as the compressive prestressing is removed at H-type reinforcements. Then, in fourth stage, loading is continued until the girder fails. The experimental results showed that the first crack occurs at 1,615 kN with a corresponding displacement of 187.0 mm. The introduction of the additional compressive stress in the lower part of the girder from the removal of unbonded compressive prestressing of the H-type steel showed a capacity improvement of about 60% (7.7 mm) recovery of the residual deformation (18.7 mm) that occurred from load increase. By using prestressed H-type steel as compression reinforcements in the upper part of cross section, repair and rehabilitation of PSC girders are relatively easy, and the cost of maintenance is expected to decrease.

The PSC bridge being built by ILM may have greater bending moment during its construction rather than after completion. When it occurs, Engineer should suggest to reduce stress-resultants than to make bigger cross-section with considering stability ,economics, and proper span-to-depth ratio. The used method is to install extruded nose at the end of girder. It substitutes the weighted segment for the light. From the reference, the stiffness of extruded nose, is 1/10 of the main girder, and the length is 60 to 70% of the length of the span, with little justification. In this study, the proper length and stiffness of the nose element is determined by the parametric study and idealizing procedure. The results about the extruded nose through the mixing of the parameter of its stiffness and length, the proper length of extruded nose is 80% of the longest span and the proper stiffenss is 13% of the bending stiffness of the superstructure and the proper length of extruded nose is 70% of the longest span and the proper stiffness is 9.5% of the bending stiffness of the superstructure.

강원도 산간지역에 위치한 소하천의 경우 유송잡물 및 토석류에 의하여 교량이 파괴되거나, 통수능이 작아져 댐의 역할을 하게 됨으로 인해 교량 상류지역이 침수피해를 입는 경우가 많이 발생하고 있으며 강원도 산간지역에 설치된 소규모 수공구조물들은 교량의 경우 교각이 많아 경간장이 짧고, 교량 상판이 제방고 보다 낮게 설치되어 있는 등 하천흐름에 장애를 주는 많은 요인들을 내재하고 있어 홍수시 하천유량의 증가에 따른 하천흐름 해석, 유송잡물의 발생원인 및 수공구조물에 미치는 영향들에 관한 판단기준 마련이 시급한 실정이다. 유송잡물의 발생경로는 대부분 산지계류에서 집중호우시 산사태발생에 따른 유목과 토석류 발생이 주원인이 된다. 또한 유송잡물은 큰 홍수시 고수위가 오랜 시간동안 지속될 경우 가장 많이 발생하는데 이때 발생한 유송잡물은 개별적으로 이송되고 일반적으로 하천의 중앙으로 이동하는 경향이 있으며 수심이 깊고 유속이 빠른 곳에 집중된다. 또한 유송잡물은 큰 홍수시 고수위가 오랜 시간동안 지속될 경우 가장 많이 발생하는데 이때 발생한 유송잡물은 개별적으로 이송되고 일반적으로 하천의 중앙으로 이동하는 경향이 있으며 수심이 깊고 유속이 빠른 곳에 집중된다. 본 연구에서는 홍수시 유송잡물 이동특성에 대한 국내 외 문헌조사, 현장피해사례조사 및 현장모니터링 조사를 실시하고 1차원 모형인 HEC-RAS와 2차원 모형인 RMA-2를 이용하여 수리모델링 분석에 따른 수치모의를 실시하고 분석하였다.

본 논문에서는 교량의 주부재에 교량용 고성능강을 적용하여 설계해 본 후, 이러한 적용이 교량의 진동사용성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 그 영향을 분석해 보고자 한다. 최근들어 교량상의 구조적인 결함이 없더라도 진동에 의해 교량을 통행하는 운전자나 보행자에게 불안감을 주는 경우가 빈번히 발생하기 때문에 진동사용성이란 문제는 보다 부각되고 있다. 특히 고성능강이 개발되고 이를 교량에 적용하게 되면 허용응력의 증가로 이어져 거더의 형고감소를 가능하게 한다. 그러나 이러한 형고의 감소는 교량의 휨강성을 저하시켜 사용성의 악화를 초래할 것이란 예측이 있었다. 따라서 본 연구는 차량-교량의 상호작용에 의해 발생하는 진동영향의 분석을 위해 유한요소해석 프로그램인 Abaqus 6.10을 이용해 수치해석을 수행하였고 이때의 진동영향을 평가했다. 차량-교량 상호작용의 해석을 위해 ASSHTO 기준의 HS 20-44 차량을 해석 대상교량 위로 주행하도록 하였다. 해석대상교량은 인장강도가 각각 600MPa와 800MPa인 교량용 고성능강재(HSB, High-Performance Steel for Bridge)를 적용하여 주거더를 설계한 강플레이트 거더교를 대상으로 삼았다. 차량이 교량을 통과하면서 발생하는 교량의 경간 중앙부에서 발생하는 수직진동의 시간이력을 분석하여 진동평가의 기준으로 삼았다. 해석결과 HSB600과 HSB800으로 각각 설계된 교량은 가속도이력에서는 큰 차이가 없었으나 변위이력에서는 HSB800적용 교량이 진동사용성 측면에서 매우 불리한 거동을 보였다. 따라서 고성능강 적용에 따른 교량의 진동사용성을 평가하기 위해서는 변위를 기준으로한 평가가 이루어져야하며, 변위의 진동을 제어하기 위한 방안이 모색되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

As Cable-stayed bridges were constructed to the long span, they have become bigger and had weaknesses to vibration induced by earthquake, wind and vehicle loads. Structural damages induced by these loads affect the characteristic of vibration modes of structure. Damage detection of cable-stayed bridges by using existing safety diagnosis is difficult to detect the characteristic change of overall structural action. Also it requires very much time and cost. So in this study, the investigation of characteristic change of structural action and the detection of structural damages is analyzed by using characteristic properties of vibration mode before and after structural damage.

In this paper, vehicle-bridge interaction analysis under a series of moving vehicles to simulate a lane load was performed to estimate impact factor of the main cable, hanger and girder for the selected suspension bridges with 404m and 1545m main span. Korea Bridge Design Code(Limit State Design) was selected for the live model in which KL-510 truck was modeled 6-d.o.f. vehicle and a lane load was simulated by a series of single-axle vehicles. For the 404m main span bridge, hinge-type and floating-type girders at the tower were considered to examine the impact factor according to the connection and supporting type of the girders. The parameters considered herein are the types of live load-a truck only and a truck plus lane load, eccentricity of moving vehicles, road surface roughness and vehicle speed. The road surface roughness was randomly generated based on ISO 8608 and it was applied to the truck only. The impact factors were also evaluated by using the influence line method that is commonly used in cable-supported bridges and compared with those from vehicle-bridge interaction analysis.

Cholethorax (bilious pleural effusion) is an extravasation of bile into the thoracic cavity via a pleurobiliary fistula (and also a bronchobiliary fistula). It is an extremely rare complication of thoraco-abdominal injuries. It can be caused by congenital anomaly and also by hepatobiliary trauma, severe infection or iatrogenic procedures. The definitive diagnosis is made with aspiration of bilious fluid from the pleural space during thoracentesis, by finding a fistulous tract during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) or cholagioscopy, or with finding an abnormal pleural accumulation of radioisotope during hepatobiliary nuclear imaging. Its symptoms include coughing, fever, dyspnea and pleuritc chest pain. Herein we report on a case of cholethorax following performance of percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy (PTCS) to remove incidentally discovered common bile duct (CBD) stones.

Twelve reinforced concrete continuous deep beams having web openings within interior shear spans were tested to failure. All beams tested had the same geometrical dimensions. The main variables investigated were the opening size and amount of inclined reinforcement around openings. An effective inclined reinforcement factor combining the influence of the opening size and amount of inclined reinforcement on the structural behavior of the beams tested is proposed. It was observed that the load distribution, diagonal crack width, and load capacity of beams tested were greatly dependent on the effective inclined reinforcement factor which ranged from 0 to 0.171 for the test specimens. The higher this factor, the smaller the diagonal crack width and its development rate. A higher load capacity also developed in beams having effective inclined reinforcement factor above 0.077 than in the corresponding solid deep beams. A numerical technique based on the upper bound analysis of the plasticity theory is proposed to evaluate the load capacity of continuous deep beams having openings within interior shear spans. Predictions obtained from the proposed formulas are in good agreement with test results.

The reinforced concrete members are designed to fail in flexural to lead ductile fracture. In the building structures, the failure is typically imposed on beams to prevent damages in columns. However, progression of plastic collapse mechanism may ultimately develop, a plastic hinge at the bottem end of the first floor column, which then can be subjected to shear or bond finally due to large axial force and small shear span-to-depth ratio. In this study, 10 RC column specimens failed in shear after flexural yielding was investigated to determine the factors affecting the plastic hinge length. The findings of this study showed that the most effective factor affecting the plastic hinge length was an axial force. As an axial force increase, an axial strain and a ductility ratio were decreased obviously. The test also shows the observed plastic hinge length was about 0.8~1.2d and the this result has difference compared with forward research.
