Deflection in terms of serviceability of reinforced concrete structures is considered as one of significant factor. Domestic concrete specification offers a procedure to evaluate deflection using effective moment of inertia at cracked section, which has been known as Branson's equation in ACI. Branson's equation was derived from statistical analysis of maximum deflection of flexural members, but is somewhat weak in no reflection of bond characteristics between reinforced bars and concrete, such as tension stiffening effect. Therefore, present code creates difference from actual deflection. In this study, experiments about deflection of RC beams was completed to compare domestic standard and Eurocode 2, which calculates deflection considering tension stiffening effect. Four RC beams were built and tested, and initial modulus of elasticity and tensile strength of concrete used in the test was calculated by each design standard.

캔틸레버 공법으로 시공되는 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 박스거더 교량의 구조적 거동은 단계적 시공에 따른 구조물의 순차적 변화 및 콘크리트의 재료적 특성에 의해 시간 의존적 거동을 나타낸다. 콘크리트의 시간의존적 특성, 즉 콘크리트의 크리프 및 건조수축 특성은 현장타설 세그멘탈 캔딜레버공법으로 가설되는 콘크리트 교량의 설계 및 시공에서 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트의 크리프 및 건조수축 특성이 교량의 시간의존적 거동, 특히 처짐 및 텐던응력예측에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 교량해석은 본 연구진에 의해 개발된 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 교량해석기법 및 프로그램을 이용하여 크리프의 ACI 모델, CEB-FIB모델, 그리고 국내 도로교 시방서 모델을 고려하여 해석하였다. 해석결과 최종크리프 값의 크기에 따라 장기처짐의 발생량이 차이가 큰 것으로 나타나고 있으며, 최종건조수축량과 상대습도도 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 ACI 모델과 CEB-FIB모델간에도 차이가 큰 것으로 나타나 실제교량의 크리프 특성 및 건조수축 특성의 정확한 예측이 교량의 정밀시공 및 거동예측에 매우 중요한 것으로 나타나고 있다.

현재 고속도로 상의 노후 교량에 대하여는 재하시험을 통하여 정량적인 내하력 평가를 수행하고, 만족스러운 수준의 내하력이 확보되지 않은 경우에는 보수, 보강 또는 교체를 수행한다. 그러나 교통량이 많은 고속도로사의 교량에 대해서는 재하시험이 매우 어렵고, 센서 케이블 작업으로 인하여 작업성이 떨어지는 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점들을 개선하기 위하여 상시교통하중에 의한 교량 내하력 평가 시스템에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 내하력 평가 대상 교량에 대하여 상시진동계측을 수행하였으며, 계측된 데이터를 통하여 교량의 동특성을 추정하였다. 추정된 동특성을 바탕으로 초기 해석 모델을 Downhill Simplex 방법을 이용하여 개선하였으며, 개선된 교량 모델을 이용하여 재하시험을 시뮬레이션 함으로써, 처짐 보정 계수를 구하였다.

A new procedure needs to be developed to predict the dynamic layer properties under moving truck loads. In this study, a computer code to evaluate layer moduli of asphalt concrete pavement from measured interior deflections at various depths were developed and verified from numerical model tests. Interior deflections of the pavement are measured from Multi-Depth Deflectometer(MDD). It was found that errors between the given and backcalculated moduli in numerical analysis were less than 0.32% for several numerical models tested. When impact loads were used, a technique to determine the depth to virtual rigid base was proposed through the analysis of compressive wave velocity and impulse loading durations. It was found that errors between the given and backcalculated moduli in numerical analysis were less than 0.114% when virtual rigid base was considered in numerical analysis. The pavement behavior must be evaluated under various vehicle speeds when determining the dynamic interaction between the loading vehicle and pavement system. To evaluate the dynamic behavior on asphalt concrete pavement under various vehicle speeds, truck moving tests were carried out. From the test results with respect to vehicle speed, it was found that the vehicle speed had significant effect on actual response of the pavement system. The lower vehicle speed generates the higher interior deflections, and the lower dynamic modulus.

Recently, in field of bridge construction, modular technology has been studied to reduce construction period, traffic impact and environmental impact. This study is a part of research related to the modular bridges. The aim of the study is to analyze the structural behavior and evaluate a serviceability for transverse connection of modular slab bridge. A total of four specimens were fabricated. including a control beam for finding the maximum load by static test. And one control beam and two segmental beams were fabricated for cyclic loading test. As the test result, the beams that were introduced 100% of the design prestressing force showed a smaller maximum deflection, residual deflection and crack width than the control beam. The beam for serviceability evaluation was satisfied with structural serviceability limits of the deflection and crack.

This paper describes a proposal for average crack width and immediate deflection calculation in structural concrete members. The model is mathematically derived from actual bond stressslip relationships and tension stiffening effect between reinforcement and the surrounding concrete, and the actual strains of steel and concrete are integrated respectively along the embedded length between the adjacent cracks so as to obtain the difference in the axial elongation. With these, a model for average crack width and immediate deflection in reinforced concrete flexural members are proposed utilizing difference in the axial elongation and average steel strain and moment-curvature relationship with taking account of bond characteristics. The model is applied to the test specimens available in literatures, and the crack width and deflections predicted by the proposal equation in this study are closed to the experimentally measured data compared the current code provisions.

Current composite steel and concrete bridges are designed using full-interaction theory assuming there is no relative slip, between the steel and concrete components along their interface, because of the complexities of partial-interaction analysis techniques. However, in the assessment of existing composite bridges this simplification may not be warranted as it is often necesary to extract the correct capacity and endurance from the structure. This may only be achieved using partial-interaction theory which tuly reflects the behaviour of the structure. In this paper, Parametric analyses have been carried out in order to confirm the partial-interaction curvatures with deflection effect using the finite element method. Therefore, the model is considered for simply supported steel and concrete composite bridges with a uniform distribution of connectors subjected to a single concentrated load. For the case studies, this study applicate a parameters such as the number and space of stud shear connector and elastic modulus of concrete slabs. From this study, it is known that partial-interaction effect was in the increase to the increasing the deflection of composite bridges, and stiffness and strength of slab concrete considering the occurrence of crack effect seriously to the partial-interaction behavior.

Coating is one of the methods used to solve the problem of corrosion of reinforcement in concrete structures. There are few research reported in the literature regarding the effect of zinc-coating on flexural behavior compared to epoxy coating. The objective of this study was to determine whether zinc-coated rebar adversely affects flexural behavior. Concrete beams reinforced with black or zinc-coated steel were tested in flexure. The test variables included the presence of rebar surface coating with zinc, steel ratio used and cover depth. The study concentrated on comparing crack pattern, crack width, deflection and strain. The ultimate flexural capacity of beams reinforced with zinc-coated bars was not different from that of black steel reinforced beams. The results from deflection and crack width measurements were indicative of no significant variation for the different rebar surface conditions. In addition, it was found that load-strain curve of beam reinforced with zinc-coated steel was similar to that of beam reinforced with zinc-coated steel. Therefore, the test results indicated that the use of zinc-coated rebar had no adverse effect on flexural behavior compared to the use of black rebar.

In this study, we analyzed the structural safety and vibration characteristics of rotational drive in 3D CT scan equipment using finite element analysis. The analysis results showed a safety factor of 9.2 and a left and right vertical deflectional deviation of 0.24mm from the maximum equivalent stress. After applying weight compensation of 27.7kgf, the structural analysis reduced the safety factor to 7.6, but the deflectional deviation of the left and right structure was reduced to 0mm. Also, we presented the optimum design of rotational drive through the vibration analysis.
