A procedure of the design optimization for steel box girder bridges using micro genetic algorithms(μGA) is developed. The effect of population size is investigated and the efficiency and reliability of μGA is demonstrated in the optimum design of steel box girder bridges. Optimum design problems of steel box girder bridges are formulated, where tile design of concrete slab is based on the USD specifications and steel box girder based on LRFD respectively. Design of optimizations of single-span and 2-span steel box girder bridges are performed with the population size of 5, 40, 80, and 120, respectively The μGA-based optimum design of the 3-span steel box girder bridge is compared with SQP results.

As the response spectrum method generally used in the earthquake resistant design is a linear method, the nonlinear behavior of a structure is to be reflected with a specific factor. Such factors are provided in the "Design Criteria for Roadwaybridges"as response modification factors and in the Eurocode 8, Part 2 as behavior factors. In this study a 5-span steel box bridge with single column piers is selected and the behavior factor is determined. The linear time history analyses are carried out with a simple linear model, where the nonlinear behavior of piers leading to the ductile failure mechanism is considered as predetermined characteristic curves.

The earthquake resistant design for roadway bridges introduced in 1992 is conducted according to the "Standard Specification for Roadway Bridges", Division V, Seismic Design and the first revision of the Standard was done in 1996. However, dur to different concepts of the earthquake resistant design from those of the other designs, the provisions given in the Standard are still not applied appropriately. In this paper the verification of the earthquake resistant capacity of a bridge with typical configurations, 5-span steel box girder bridge, is carried out based on the application rules of the present Standard in order to provide clear understandings about the earthquake resistant verification and the earthquake resistant design as well.n as well.

일선대교는 복부 파형강판 복합교랑 형식으로서 연장파 폭원으로는 세계 최대의 규모이다. 총 14개 경간으로 구성된 일선대교는 압출공법(ILM)에 의하여 12개 경간이 연속구조로 건설되고 나머지 2개 경간은 동바리공법(FSM)에 의하여 건설된다. 본 논문에서는 동일한 구조형식으로는 국내에서 최초로 건설되며 해외에서도 유례가 없는 광폭과 장경간의 복부 파형강판 복합교량인 일선대교를 압출공법에 의하여 시공하면서 수행된 구조 안전성분석과 관련된 주제들을 다루고 있다. 이러한 과정을 통하여 지간-형고비, 복부 파형강판의 전단응력, 그리고 압출추진코의 최적 길이 등이 파형강판 복합구조 교량의 시공중 및 사용중 안전성에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 특히, 일선대교와 같은 복부 강재구조를 갖는 복합교량은 박스거더, 추진코, 그리고 연결 격벽의 강성차가 크기 때문에 기존의 방법에 의한 단면력 분석은 적합하지 않은 것으로 확인되었다. 이에 따라 압출 추진코의 길이, 구조물의 강성 등을 변수로 압출중 최대 부모멘트에 대한 검토를 수행하였으며 최종적으로는 상세 구조해석을 통하여 구조물의 시공 중 안전성을 확인하였다.

Composite steel-concrete box girders are frequently used in bridge construction for their economic and structural advantages. An integrated metaheuristic based optimization procedure is proposed for discrete size optimization of straight multi-span steel box girders with the objective of minimizing the self-weight of girder. The metaheuristic algorithm of choice is the Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithm. The optimum design of a box girder is characterized by geometry, serviceability and ultimate limit states specified by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). Size optimization of a practical design example investigates the efficiency of this optimization approach and leads to around 15% of saving in material.

As few multi-tower single-box multi-cell cable-stayed bridges with corrugated steel webs have been built, analysis is mostly achieved by combining single-girder model, beam grillage model and solid model in support of the design. However, such analysis methods usually suffer from major limitations in terms of the engineering applications: single-girder model fails to account for spatial effect such as shear lag effect of the box girder and the relevant effective girder width and eccentric load coefficient; owing to the approximation in the principle equivalence, the plane grillage model cannot accurately capture shear stress distribution and local stress state in both top and bottom flange of composite box girder; and solid model is difficult to be practically combined with the overall calculation. The usual effective width method fails to provide a uniform and accurate "effective length" (and the codes fail to provide a unified design approach at those circumstance) considering different shear lag effects resulting from dead load, prestress and cable tension in the construction. Therefore, a novel spatial grid model has been developed to account for shear lag effect. The theoretical principle of the proposed spatial grid model has been elaborated along with the relevant illustrations of modeling parameters of composite box girder with corrugated steel webs. Then typical transverse and longitudinal shear lag coefficient distribution pattern at the side-span and mid-span key cross sections have been analyzed and summarized to provide reference for similar bridges. The effectiveness and accuracy of spatial grid analysis methods has been finally validated through a practical cable-stayed bridge.

In this research, a newly developed nature-inspired optimization method, the Lion Pride Optimization algorithm (LPOA), is utilized for optimal design of composite steel box girder bridges. A composite box girder bridge is one of the common types of bridges used for medium spans due to their economic, aesthetic, and structural benefits. The aim of the present optimization procedure is to provide a feasible set of design variables in order to minimize the weight of the steel trapezoidal box girders. The solution space is delimited by different types of design constraints specified by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. Additionally, the optimal solution obtained by LPOA is compared to the results of other well-established meta-heuristic algorithms, namely Gray Wolf Optimization (GWO), Ant Lion Optimizer (ALO) and the results of former researches. By this comparison the capability of the LPOA in optimal design of composite steel box girder bridges is demonstrated.

현재 국내에서 설계되고 있는 40~70 m 지간의 강도로교 90% 이상이 박스거더교 형식이며 박스거더교는 휨 강성과 비틀림 강성이 뛰어나 장경간이나 곡선을 갖는 교량 형식으로 적합할 뿐만 아니라 가설현장에서의 작업을 최소화 할 수 있어 현장 안전관리 면에서도 유리한 구조형식이다. 그러나 박스거더는 상하 플랜지와 복부판이 수직, 수평보강재로 보강되는 구조로 부재량과 용접량이 많이 소요되어 비경제적인 교량 형식으로 많이 지적되어 왔다. 따라서, 미국이나 일본에서는 상대적으로 부부재를 줄일 수 있는 보다 경제적인 플레이트거더교가 일반적으로 적용되고 있다. 이러한 플레이트거더교의 한 형식인 소수주거더교는 강합성교량의 합리화를 위해 많이 채용되는 형식으로, 주거더 간격을 종래의 3 m 정도에서 2배 정도인 6 m 이상으로 증가하여 주거더의 개수를 최소화시키는 경제적인 교량형식이다. 또한, 거더 단면의 단순화를 위하여 거더의 복부판에 부착되는 수평보강재와 수직보강재를 최대한 생략할 수 있다. 2주거더교는 소수주거더교의 대표적인 형식으로, 유효폭 10 m 전후의 교량에 적합하여 프랑스를 중심으로 유럽에서는 1960년대부터 본격적으로 개발되어왔다. 국내에서는 소수주거더교 적용시 안전율 확보를 위해 유럽이나 일본 등에 비해 많은 강재량을 사용하고 있으며, 설계자들의 친밀도 부족과 박스거더교에 비해 복잡한 설계 등과 같은 여러가지 실무적용 차원에서 적용이 제한되고 있는 실정이다. 이 연구에서는 합리화 강교량 형식인 소수주거더교의 제작방법을 개선하고 구속콘크리트를 활용하여 강교량에서 공사비와 직결되는 강중을 줄일 수 있는 신형식 강합성거더(Turn Over Composite Girder) 구조형식을 제안하고자 한다. 또한 실물 크기인 20 m 단면회전방법을 적용한 강합성 거더시험체 및 교량시험체를 제작하여 제작성을 평가하고 구조성능 실험을 하여 구조안전성을 평가하였다.

To achieve this goal, two four-span concrete box-girder bridges with typical configurations of California highway bridges are selected as representative bridges: an integral abutment bridge and a seat-type abutment bridge. A detailed numerical model of the representative bridges is created in OpenSees to perform dynamic analyses. To examine the effect of earthquake incidence angle on the fragility of skewed bridges, the representative bridge models are modified with different skew angles. Dynamic analyses for all bridge models are performed for all earthquake incidence angles examined. Simulated results are used to develop demand models and component and system fragility curves for the skewed bridges. The fragility characteristics are compared with regard to earthquake incidence angle. The results suggest that the earthquake incidence angle more significantly affects the seismic demand and fragilities of the integral abutment bridge than the skewed abutment bridge. Finally, a recommendation to account for the randomness due to the ground motion directionality in the fragility assessment is made in the absence of the predetermined earthquake incidence angle.
