This study predicts the stress history for truss bridge with local damages by using global-local model combination method. For this end, the global structure is modeled by 3D frame elements and the selected local details are modeled by shell elements. Then superposition principle enable the global-local model to be combined interactively. Because the frame model cannot consider the rigidity of gusset plate and the interation of structural members due to the complexity of stress distribution in truss connection. The section modification factors are proposed to calibrate the stiffness of global frame element. The global-local model combination is verified by comparing the numerical results with experimental data obtained from the proof loading test to the operating truss bridge. Furthermore, stress histrories of the truss bridge are generated in the consideration of the rigidity of truss connection with local damage by using the combination method.

A bimodal tram is a new design vehicle introduced to improve a current transportation system, and it has advantages of a bus and a subway. A pipe truss bridge, an exclusive road of the bimodal tram, is constructed for introduction of the bimodal tram. An analysis of dynamic response characteristics is required because this new bridge has never constructed before. A speed increasing test on the pipe truss bridge was conducted with attaching a sensor to bottom of the bridge. Also, Dynamic response characteristics were analyzed by measuring displacements, the maximum vertical and horizontal acceleration about the new bridge through the experiment.

To replace a steel box bridge for constructions of medium span bridges in Korea, the Hybrid Truss Bridge (HTB) is being considered as an alternative bridge type. The core technology of HTB is the connection joint that links the concrete slabs and steel truss pipes. Various construction companies in Japan have developed unique connection systems and applied to the real bridge constructions after verifying their performances through the experimental evaluation. In this study, the fatigue test of a hybrid truss girder has been performed in order to verify the newly proposed hinge type connection joint`s static and fatigue capacities. Through this fatigue test results, it is founded that the structural detail to improve the fatigue capacity should be developed. The hinge connection system with circular ribs has been proposed by means of structural finite element analyses. And then the fatigue test for this connection joint has been performed and it is proved that this connection joint has enough fatigue capacity. Finally, it is expected that the hinge connection system with circular ribs developed by in this study can be easily applied to the real bridge.

수많은 판형부재로 구성된 대형 트러스교에서는 불량용접된 부재가 존재할 수 있으며, 이는 교량의 피로수명에 결정적인 영향을 줄 수 있다. 이러한 교량에서 용접불량부를 조사하고 부재단면중 용접불량을 고려한 유효단면을 가정하여 피로수명을 예측하는 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 이를 위하여 피로수명에 영향을 미치는 교통량을 분석하고 차량모델을 가정하여 유효등가응력을 산정하였으며 모형피로시험에서 구한 응력-반복횟수곡선을 이용하여 피로수명을 예측하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 분석기법은 불량용접부와 교통량이 강교량의 피로수명에 미치는 영향을 예측하는데 매우 유용함을 알 수 있다.

산업의 발달과 건설재료의 개발 및 설계 시공 기술의 급속한 발전으로 더 가볍고 더 긴 경간을 가진 교량이 건설되고 있다. 그러나 교량이 더 길어지고 가벼워질수록 풍하중에 의한 영향은 더욱 크게 받게 되어 여러 종류의 피해를 입게 된다. 이제는 어느 정도 잘 알려진 1940년에 발생한 Tacoma Narrow교의 붕괴사고는 내풍 설계의 필요성을 극단적으로 보여주는 대표적인 예로서 본격적인 내풍 공학 연구에 시발점이 되었다. 현재까지 아직 시공은 되지 않았으나 기본 설계 및 내풍안정성 평가가 완료되 주경간장 3,300m의 Messina교 및 2,800m의 일본해협횡단도로 프로젝트 초장대 현수교(안)의 출현까지 짧은 기간 동안 비약적인 기술 성장을 이루고 있다. 장대교량의 설계시 많은 풍동실험을 거쳐서 내풍안정성이 뛰어난 단면을 찾게 된다. Akashi교의 경우에도 트러스, 싱글박스, 트윈박스 등의 다양한 단면에 대한 풍동실험을 수행한 끝에 최종적으로 트러스 단면을 선택하였다. Great Belt교에서는 싱글박스 단면을 대상으로 다양한 단부 각도에 대한 결과를 바탕으로 최종 단면을 선정하였다. Stonecutter 교에는 트윈박스를 채용하여 기존 싱글박스를 뛰어넘는 도약을 단행하였다. 그리고 Messina교의 경우에는 약 20년에 걸쳐서 설계를 진행해 오면서 점진적으로 단면을 개선하여 최종적으로 트리플박스 단면을 채택하였다. 국내에서도 광양대교의 설계시 싱글박스에서 시작하여 트윈박스의 간격 최적화를 통하여 최종단면을 도출하였다. Akashi교는 최장경간장을 자랑하지만 고전적인 트러스 단면을 사용함으로써 Great Belt교, Stonecutter교, Messina교 등과 같이 혁신적인 단면을 채택한 교량에 비하여 상대적으로 기술적 가치를 인정받지 못하고 있다. 따라서 새로운 내풍 단면의 개발은 교량 설계를 위한 실용적인 측면에서 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 경제적이고 내풍안정성이 우수한 도전적인 현수교 단면을 개발하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 이를 위하여 먼저 교량 계획 단계에 필요한 자료를 제공하기 위하여 기존 강박스 현수교의 제원을 수집하고 그 특성을 분석하여 각종 구조 변수들이 내풍안정성에 미치는 상대적인 영향을 평가하고, 근사적으로 고유진동수를 추정할 수 있는 추정식을 제시하였다. 그 다음으로 초장대 현수교 단면을 개발하기 위하여 다양한 풍동실험을 수행하고 가능한 단면 형상을 제시하였다.

The service life of steel bridges can be assured only when their strength, serviceability and fatigue safety are fulfilled. However, at the present time, the continuous research for fatigue of steel bridges is desperately required since not much research work has been done so far. In this study, a guideline on the fatigue design is suggested for the practical purpose in order to establish the long-term safety of steel bridges against fatigue. The continuous steel truss bridge was analyzed for the cumulative reversals of the actual traffic, stress ranges and fatigue strength. From the results, the domestic fatigue design procedure was found to be fairly overestimated in comparison to the design code of other foreign countries. Therefore, it is necessary to review the current fatigue design specifications and have the new and rationalized design criteria in the future domestic fatigue design guidance.

Hybrid Truss Bridge (HTB) uses steel truss webs instead of concrete webs in prestressed box girder bridges, which is becoming popular due to its structural benefits such as relatively light self-weight and good aesthetics appearance. Since the core technology of this bridge is the connection system between concrete slabs and steel truss members, several connection systems were proposed and experimentally evaluated. Also, the selected joint system was applied to the real bride design and construction. The research was performed on the connection system, since it can affect the global behavior of this bridge such as flexural and fatigue behaviors as well as the local behavior around the connection region. The evaluation study showed that HTB applied to a curved bridge or an eccentrically loaded bridge had a weak torsional capacity compared to an ordinary PSC box girder bridge due to the open cross-sectional characteristic of HTB. Therefore, three types of girders with different joint system between truss web member and concrete slab were tested for their torsional capacity. In this study, the three different types of HTB girders under torsional loading were simulated using FEM analysis to investigate the torsional behavior of HTB girders more in detail. The results are discussed in detail in the paper.
