A study on the evaluation of proper spacing and required flexural rigidity of cross beams in composite two I-section steel girder bridges without a lateral and sway bracing system was performed. Specifically, a 2-lane, 40-m simple span bridge and a 3-span continuous (40+50+10m) bridge were designed, and structural analyses under dead load before and after composite, live, wind, and seismic loads were performed using spacing and flexural rigidity or cross beams as parameters. Through parametric analysis, the effect on the stresses due to the combination of loads and live load distribution was investigated. In addition. material and geometric nonlinear analyses under dead load before composite were performed to evaluate the lateral buckling strength of the steel girders and cross beam. Based on the results or such analyses, the proper spacing and flexural rigidity of cross beams at intermediate points and supports were proposed.

This paper presents results from the theoretical analysis of the lateral load distribution for a railway bridge designed with PSC girders which is one of most popular types of bridge in Korea. Typically, 3 sets of intermediate cross beams within a span have been installed for lateral load distribution. In this paper, the effect on the lateral load distribution by the number of intermediate cross beams were examined by both simple grillage analysis and finite element method. This study showed that at least, one set of cross beams at midspan should be needed to ensure the proper load distribution. However, the effect of cross beams on the load distribution becomes not significant though more than one set of cross beams are installed. Therefore, only one set of cross beans at midspan is recommended for constructibility and economic efficiency.

This paper presents numerical analysis results for the lateral-torsional buckling (LTB) strength of steel I-girder bridges. Current Korean and AASHTO design specifications for LTB consider the buckling strength of a single girder with both its ends constrained. The I-girder bridges are composed of more than one girder, and the girders are interconnected with intermediate cross-beams or cross-frames. Therefore, it should be required to evaluate the effects of cross-beam stiffness and the interactionof girders on LTB strength. It is also necessary to consider the effects of transverse web stiffeners on LTB strength. By considering these parameters, a series of four-girder systemswere numerically modeled using 3D shell elements to estimate the LTB strength while considering initial imperfections and residual stresses.

A study on the evaluationof the proper spacing and required bending rigidity of cross beams in composite multiple I-girder bridge without lateral and sway bracing system was performed. For the purpose, a two-lane 40m simple span and 40+50+40m continuous sample bridge with four girders was designed. For the sample bridges, structural analysis under the design loads including dead load before and after composite, live load, and seismic loads has been performed. The material and geometric nonlinear analysis under dead load before composite has also been performed to evaluate lateral buckling strength of the steel-girder-cross beam grillage. Based on the two phase anlayses, proper spacing and bending righidity of cross beams were proposed.

Recently new construction and reconstruction of the bridge have been required to minimize traffic congestion, environmental disadvantage, to reduce the period of construction, and to improve the quality and workability during the construction. For this reason, the application of modular bridge system, which is assembly of the structural members, is necessary to prepare for near future. Fall of girders can occur at the moment to connect between precast girders during the construction, so appropriate cross beams should be installed to solve the mentioned problem. In this study, understanding the structural characteristics and domestic and international case of cross beam, alternative cross beam system for modular bridge was developed. To inspect the structural characteristics of the alternative system, specimens were built and static loading test was performed. Afterward, the behavior of cross beam interms of joints and load distribution was observed. Experimental results were analyzed and compared with each data. Therefore, the appropriate cross beam system for modular bridge will be chosen and proposed in this paper.

본 연구에서는 광섬유센서를 내장한 스마트강연선을 이용하여 초고성능콘트리트로 제작된 하이브리드 사장교 세그먼트의 횡방향 도입 긴장력을 계측하고 세그먼트 내부의 프리스트레스를 계측하여 즉시손실에 해당하는 정착장치 활동에 의한 손실과 마찰손실을 도로교설계기준(2005)의 설계 마찰손실과 비교하였다. 제작된 2개의 UHPC 사장교 세그먼트는 횡방향 길이 16.7m, 종방향 길이 1.75m, 높이 1.5m이며 각 시험체의 1/4, 1/2, 3/4지점에 긴장력을 계측하기 위해 3개의 FBG센서를 배치하였다. 긴장력은 유압잭을 이용하여 5개의 강연선에 동시에 순차적으로 도입되었으며, 단부에서 최대 도입 긴장력은 세그먼트 1은 734kN, 세그먼트 2는 639kN이었다. 도로교설계기준에 제시된 마찰계수의 중간값(파상마찰계수=0.00405, 곡률마찰계수=0.20)을 사용하여 FBG센서 위치에서 계산된 긴장력은 계측치와 5% 이내의 차이를 보였으며, 정착장치 활동에 의한 순간손실은 긴장단에서 최대 12.8%로 계측되었다. 이로부터 이 연구에서 제시하는 긴장력계측방법의 적용성을 입증할 수 있었으며, 향후 이 방법은 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 교량의 설계기준 마찰계수 개정을 위한 연구에 좋은 도구로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
