This study aims to examine the interface shear behavior between precast high-strength concrete slabs with pockets and steel beam to achieve accelerated bridge construction (ABC). Twenty-six push-out specimens, with different stud height, stud diameter, stud arrangement, deck thickness, the infilling concrete strength in shear pocket (different types of concrete), steel fiber volume of the infilling concrete in shear pocket concrete and casting method, were tested in this investigation. Based on the experimental results, this study suggests that the larger stud diameter and higher strength concrete promoted the shear capacity and stiffness but with the losing of ductility. The addition of steel fiber in pocket concrete would promote the ductility effectively, but without apparent improvement of bearing capacity or even declining the initial stiffness of specimens. It can also be confirmed that the precast steel-concrete composite structure can be adopted in practice engineering, with an acceptable ductility (6.74 mm) and minor decline of stiffness (4.93%) and shear capacity (0.98%). Due to the inapplicability of current design provision, a more accurate model was proposed, which can be used for predicting the interface shear capacity well for specimens with wide ranges of the stud diameters (from13 mm to 30 mm) and the concrete strength (from 26 MPa to 200 MPa).

In the last decades, research efforts have been spent to investigate the effect of prestressing on the dynamic behaviour of prestressed concrete (PSC) beams. Whereas no agreement has been reached among the achievements obtained by different Researchers and among the theoretical and the experimental results for simply supported beams, very few researches have addressed this problem in continuous PSC beams. This topic is, indeed, worthy of consideration bearing in mind that many relevant bridges and viaducts in the road and railway networks have been designed and constructed with this structural scheme. In this paper the attention is, thus, focused on the dynamic features of continuous PSC bridges taking into account the effect of prestressing. This latter, in fact, contributes to the modification of the distribution of the bending stress along the beam, also by means of the secondary moments, and influences the flexural stiffness of the beam itself. The dynamic properties of a continuous, two spans bridge connected by a nonlinear spring have been extracted by solving an eigenvalue problem in different linearized configurations corresponding to different values of the prestress force. The stiffness of the nonlinear spring has been calculated considering the mechanical behaviour of the PSC beam in the uncracked and in the cracked stage. The application of the proposed methodology to several case studies indicates that the shift from the uncracked to the cracked stage due to an excessive prestress loss is clearly detectable looking at the variation of the dynamic properties of the beam. In service conditions, this shift happens for low values of the prestress losses (up to 20%) for structure with a high value of the ratio between the permanent load and the total load, as happens for instance in long span, continuous box bridges. In such conditions, the detection of the dynamic properties can provide meaningful information regarding the structural state of the PSC beam.

본 연구에서는 순수형 보강토교대의 상부구조로 적용되는 슬래브교에 대한 적용성을 검토하고 보강토 교대의 외적/내적 안정성에 대해 검토하였다. 상부구조인 슬래브교의 연장은 10.0 m ~ 20.0 m, 두께는 0.7 m ~ 0.9 m를 대상으로 하여 구조해석을 수행하여 보강토교대의 교량받침에 작용되는 사하중과 활하중에 의한 반력을 산정하였다. 슬래브교는 연장 20.0m까지 순수형 보강토교대의 허용 접지압 200 kPa을 만족하였다. 순수형 보강토교대의 외적 안정성은 보강토체의 기하형상에 지배되기 때문에 상부구조의 하중에 의한 안전율 변화는 작은 것으로 나타났다. 지지력에 대한 안전율은 기초지반의 강성은 상수이지만 활동력인 상부구조의 하중은 증가되므로 감소되었다. 그리고 상부구조로 인해 보강토옹벽 상단에 작용하는 접지압이 200 kPa을 초과할 경우, 순수형 보강토교대에서는 전면벽체에 작용하는 수평토압이 과도하게 증가되어, 최상단 보강재에서 내적안정성인 인발과 파단에서 허용안전율을 만족하지 못하였다. 순수형 보강토교대의 효율적 설계 및 성능 확보를 위해서는 보강토체 상단에 배치된 보강재의 인발저항력과 장기허용인장력을 증가시키는 것이 필요한 것으로 분석된다.

교량의 노후화는 다양한 원인에 기인하겠지만 겨울철에 제설용으로 살포하는 염화칼슘이 교량부재에 침투하여 부식을 유발하는 것이 대표적인 교량 노후화 원인중 하나라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 교량의 부식에 의한 노후화 정도를 정량화하고 이를 교량의 해석모델에 적용하여 노후화 정도에 따른 지진취약도 해석을 수행하고 노후화 정도와 지진취약도 곡선의 관계를 평가하는 것이다. 노후화 정도를 고려한 지진취약도 해석에 각 손상상태별로 한계값을 적절히 정의하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 손상정도에 따른 변위 연성도 능력의 저하 특성에 관한 기존 연구결과를 활용하여 손상상태를 정의하였다. 세 가지 교량받침과 두 가지 교각 높이에 따른 예제 교량들의 지진취약도 해석으로부터 노후화 정도가 증가할수록 지진취약도가 증가하는 경향이 나타냄을 알 수 있다. 이러한 노후화 정도에 따른 지진취약도의 차이는 손상상태가 경미, 보통, 심각, 붕괴의 상태로 갈수록 증가하는 경향을 나타낸다.

As we see the continuation of the increase in the speed of the High Speed railroad worldwide, there is a concern for a possible problem in the connecting transition zone in the railway infrastructure. Honam High Speed railroad's transition zone in the hub for the rotation structures and other supporting structures such as approach slab, sub slab, approach block, etc. Due to its increase in speed of the design speed, and its important role on the driving stability and credibility of the bearing ground performance, we must seek and fine a prevention plan for a cause of differential settlement, as well as the cause of the derailment. In this dissertation, domestic, as well as international design manuals and the applicability of the control standards are studied. Also through the study target, Honam High Speed railroad zone 4-1, we evaluated the connecting componant of the Yeon-Jeong bridge through the eigenvalue and weight transfer of the train when operated at 300km/h, 350km/h, 400km/h, 450km/h, and were able to achieve detailed assessment by checking track behaviors, looking at various components such as the rotation acceleration according to the inversion of the distance length, displace length, displacement and stress distribution. Through these studied, possibility of operating at 400km/h was evaluated based on the condition of the current design basis.

In practical design of girder bridges or reinforced concrete slab bridges with T-type piers, it is usually assumed that vertical movements of superstructures are completely restrained at the locations of bearings(shoes) on a cap beam of the pier, The resulting vertical reactions are applied to the bearing for the calculation of bending moments and shear forces in the cap beam. However, in reality, the overhang parts of the cap beam will deform under the dead load of superstructures and the live load so that it may act as an elastic foundation. Due to the settlement of the elastic foundation, the actual distribution of the reactions at the bearings along the cap beam may be different from that obtained under the assumption that the vertical movements are fixed at the bearings. In the present study, investigated is the effects of elastic deformations of the T-type pier on the distribution of reactions at the bearings along the cap beam through 3-dimensional finite element analysis. Herein, for this purpose the whole structural system including the superstructure and piers as well is analyzed. It appears that the conventional practice which neglects the elastic deformations of the cap beam exhibits considerably different distributions of the reactions as compared with those obtained from the present finite element analysis. It is, therefore, recommended that in order to assess the reactions at bearings correctly the whole structural system be analyzed using 3-dimensional finite element analysis.

Load bearing structural members in a wide variety of applications accumulate damage over their service life. From a standpoint of both safety and performance, it is desirable to monitor the occurrence, location, and extent of such damage. Structures require complicated element models with a number of degrees of freedom in structural analysis. During experiment much effort and cost is needed for measuring structural parameters. The sparseness and errors of measured data have to be considered during the parameter estimation Of Structures. In this paper we introduces damage identification algorithm by a system identification(S.I) using static and dynamic response. To study the behaviour of the estimators in noisy environment Using Monte Carlo simulation and a data measured perturbation scheme is adopted to investigate the influence of measurement errors on identification results. The assessment result by static and dynamic response were compared, and the efficiency and applicabilities of the proposed algorithm are demonstrated through simulated static and dynamic responses of a truss bridge. The assessment results by each method were compared and we could observe that the 5.1 method is superior to the other conventional methods.

Recently, as the forerunner in establishing the Northeast Asia's logistics base, a lot of marine engineering works such as new ports and container terminals, extension of old ports, new bridges, land reclamation etc. have been progressed. Parallel to it, there is also an increasing demand for improving the safety of construction. In this situation, high resolution seismic reflection profiling can be well used, attempting to classify rocks and sediments under water, if possible, to delineate the distribution of grain sizes in sediments not only for calculating the cost of removing sediments from harbour's channels, but also for estimating the bearing capacities for bridge or port construction. However, the results from the corresponding reflection survey that has been in operation in our country can not be effectively used for engineering purposes mostly due to the insufficient resolution. Thus. in this paper, two innovative strategies are introduced to enhance resolution. The one deals with a newly designed exploration barge that will help reduce several kinds of noises encountered electrically or operationally. The other is associated with an establishment of optimum measuring system comprising e.g. a specially devised hydrophone with a combination of 7 piezoelectric elements. Field experiments performed at Busan harbour are illustrated. The quality of acquired data was thereby fundamentally improved in comparison with that obtained at the same time in a conventional way.

Architectural steel structures with visible tension and compression members are becoming more prevalent as a popular form of construction that reflects the nature of the resistance to the applied loads. These members require the use of structural steel pins at their ends to ensure either axial tension or axial compression in the members. Structural pins have been used as a means of connection for centuries and it would appear that their behaviour is relatively well understood. However, the rules for the design of pins vary quite considerably from code to code and this has caused some confusion amongst consulting structural engineers operating internationally. To provide some insight into this problem, a comprehensive testing program has been carried to examine the influence of parameters such as pin diameter, material properties of the pin, thickness of the loading plates, material properties of the loading plates and the distance of the pin to the edge of the loading plates. The modes of failure have been carefully examined. Based on this study, modifications to current design procedures are proposed that properly take into account the different possible modes of failure.

본 논문은 강교좌장치를 가지고 있는 연속 강교량을 지진으로부터 보호하기 위해서 형상기억합금을 이용한 장치를 제안했다. 예로 사용하고 있는 연속 강교량은 고정단을 가진 교각에 지진하중이 집중하고 상당히 큰 상부구조의 중량으로 인하여 교각에 손상을 입기 쉽고 상판의 교대에 대한 충돌로 교대의 수동변위가 크게 나타날 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 두 가지 종류의 restrainer-damper가 제안되었으며 지진해석을 통해서 효과를 검증하였다. 또한 미주에서 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 강재 케이블의 restraoiner와 성능을 비교하였다.
