Minimizing the girder number and appling the long span deck of plate girder bridge is the main factors in the practical and economic design of the Twin Steel Girder Bridge. Therefore, it is important to verify the ability of the long span concrete deck. In this paper, to improve the problem, the precast concrete full depth deck has been used instead of cast-in-place concrete deck. The precast concrete full depth deck having longitudinal and transverse prestress is efficient to design of the long span concrete slabs. This paper introduces the design concept of Twin Steel Bridge using the precast concrete full depth deck and applied design case.

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.

To study the reasonable design thermal loads, a steel box girder bridge specimen, which has no concrete slab, was manufactured with real size dimensions. The temperature data was obtained at the web and diaphragm using thermo gauges that were attached according to height. In the hottest day, the temperature differences between the top and bottom of the bridge model were calculated. The temperatures in the actual bridge were measured and the temperature of the bridge specimen was compared. The temperature gradient models were proposed in both the web and the diaphragm. The proposed models showed a correlation of approximately 95.8% compared to the Euro code. This study can provide basis data for temperature-load design in the nation.

A new bridge system described in this paper uses concrete-filled steel tube (CFT) girders as a replacement for conventional girders. Experimental investigations were carried out to comprehend the flexural behavior of CFT girder. Specimens were manufactured considering several parameters such as the strength of filling material, the eventual presence and number of inner shear connectors to evaluate the bending bearing capacity of CFT girder. The experimental investigation consisted of designing and constructing a test specimen and loading it to collapse in bending to check the applicability of the system. Test results showed that concrete filled steel tube girders have good ductility and maintain their strength up to the end of the loading. The stiffening effect of the ㄱ-shaped perfobond rib is determined to contribute relatively to the increase of the bending bearing capacity.

Prestressed concrete (PSC) bridges are vulnerable to corrosion and fracture of tendons, and in particular, structures using the internal post-tensioned with grouted system have difficulties in maintenance due to limitations of inspection. In this study, the actual behavior of PSC I girder bridge was analyzed according to tendon damage. The target PSC I girder bridge, an decommissioned highway bridge of upper and lower bridges, had the service period of 33 years and 20 years, respectively. Deflection and concrete strain were measured according to the location of damaged tendon and loading method. Regardless of the age of the bridge, its structural performance decreased when the damaged tendon was closer to the center of the girder. The change in behavior increased as the truck load approached to the girder where the tendon cut. If the load was applied to the adjacent girder where the tendon was cut, the structural performance was likely to be maintained due to the influence of the entire structural system. The change in deflection was difficult to observe visually, while the concrete strain exceeded the cracking strain. Therefore, it is recommended that future monitoring and inspection of PSC I girder bridges should focus on concrete strain or cracking.

The main objective of the paper is to investigate the static behavior of a prestressed concrete (PSC) girder that has been spliced with precast box segments. A 20 m long full-scale spliced PSC girder is fabricated and tested to compare its static performance against a monolithic girder. The monolithic girder has the same geometric and material properties with respect to the spliced girder. This includes infernal strain, deflections, neutral axis position, and crack patterns for both girders. The test also consists of monitoring relative displacements occurring across the joints. Both the horizontal displacement (gap) and vertical displacement (sliding) are measured throughout the loading procedure. All results have been compared to those obtained from the monolithic girder. It has been demonstrated that the spliced girder offers close behavior with respect to the monolithic girder up to the crack load. Both girders exhibits ductile flexural failure rather than abrupt shear failure at joints.

A method is presented for the analysis of curved segmentally erected prestressed concrete box girder bridges including time-dependent effects due to load history, temperature history, creep, shrinkage, aging of concrete and relaxation of prestressing steel. The segments can be either precast or cast-in-place. Thin-walled beam theory and finite element method are combined to develop a curved nonprismatic thin-walled box beam element. The element consists of three nodes and each node has eight displacement degrees of freedom, including transverse distortion and longitudinal warping of the cross section.

The span deflection among the monitoring items of bridge measurement system in real time is representative behaviour and important index of superstructure condition. the limit of span deflection in Standard Specifications for Highway Bridge in Korea has been applied to the method that is making the management-criteria for span deflection in bridge measurement system. But the limit concern mainly serviceability of divers. So it is difficult to find the safety factor of the limit from the viewpoint of bridge safety. This study estimated the safety factor of the limit of span-deflection in Standard Specifications for Highway Bridge in Korea from the viewpoint of bridge safety by the indoor structural test.

압출공법(incremental launching method)은 교대 배후에 거더 제작장소를 설치하고, 콘크리트를 이어쳐서 교량거더를 제작하고, 이것을 잭(jack)으로 밀어내는 가설방법이다. 이 공법에 의해 시공되는 교량의 상부단면은 시공 중에 지간의 중앙부와 지점부에 일시적이나마 모두 위치하게 된다. 따라서 단면들은 자중에 의해 발생되는 최대 정모멘트와 최대 부모멘트, 그리고 최대 전단력을 모두 경험하게 되는 구조적 특성을 가지고 있다. 한편 거더의 캔틸레버 작용을 감소시키기 위하여 거더의 선단에 압출추진코(launching nose)를 부착시킨다. 상부단면에 발생하는 이 일시적인 응력의 크기는 압출추진코의 단면특성에 따라 달라진다. 본 논문에서는 압출추진코와 상부단면의 상호작용에 관한 해석식의 정확성을 유지하고, 활용도를 높이기 위해서 압출추진코를 유사등단면(강성;등단면, 중량;변단면)으로 가정하여 단순화된 해석식을 제안하였고, 압출추진코의 단면이 등단면으로 가정한 기존 해석식의 정확성을 향상시키기 위해서 다이아프램의 중량을 집중하중으로 치환시켜 변형된 등단면 해석식을 제안하였다. 그리고 제안된 2개의 해석식의 정확성과 활용성을 판단하기 위해 실제 ILM교량 설계자료들을 통해 전산구조해석 프로그램과, 기존 해석식들과 비교 분석 하였다.
