이 연구는 2경간 연속 PSC-Beam 교량의 경간 내측 지지점의 바닥판에서 발생할 수 있는 균열의 제어에 관한 내용을 다루고 있다. PSC-Beam 교량은 주형인 PSC-Beam을 거치시킨후 바닥판을 현장타설 콘크리트로 시공된다. 이로 인하여 주형 콘크리트와 바닥판 콘크리트의 시간의존적 거동차이, 주형의 연속화에 따른 거동 등에 의하여 부모멘트가 가장 크게 걸리는 지점부에서 균열이 쉽게 발생된다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 2경간 연속 PSC-Beam 교량의 연속화에 따른 거동을 수치적 방법으로 해석하여 지점부 바닥판의 균열거동이 예측되었다. 이를 위하여 해석모델에는 콘크리트의 시간의존적 현상인 크리프와 건조수축이 고려되었으며, 2경간 연속 PSC-Beam 교량의 거동에 영향을 나타내는 여러 가지 인자가 고려되어 해석되었다. 끝으로 콘크리트의 모델식을 이용하여 지점부 균열을 억제하기 위한 현장에서 관리가능한 방안이 수치적으로 제안되었다.

Epoxy resins are gradually becoming some of the most important and versatile polymers in modem civil engineering. Because epoxy resins have some unigue properties, such as toughness, versatility of viscosity and curing conditions, good handling characteristics, high adhesive strength, inertness, low shrinkage compared to most other thermo-setting resins and concrete, and resistance to chemicals, they have found many applications in construction castings, repair materials, road or bridge deck pavements, coatings, and as structural or non structural adhesives. In this applications, epoxy resins are widely used for polymer concretes, grouting materials, injection glues, and sealants. In this paper, characteristics of deformation of repair material after repaired have been investigated by viscosity of repair material and the width of crack. It is believed that flexural strength of epoxy resin with low viscosity is high because tensile strength is high and elongation at break is low, fracture energy is low.

Latex-modified concrete using ready mix concrete (R-LMC) was developed for application of building construction project (specifically, the rooftop of a parking garage unable to use heavy equipments for bridge deck overlay) due to three major outstanding properties of R-LMC; bond strength, resistance of cracks at early age, and resistance of freezing and thawing. However, R-LMC at the placement stage is required to be sufficiently cured because R-LMC is very sensitive to rate of evaporation of surface moisture. This study focused on effects of different curing methods and climate condition on cracks on the surface of hardened R-LMC considering the chart of rate of evaporation of surface moisture from concrete provided by American Concrete Institute in manual for placement of latex modified concrete.

The architectural design of student circulation space has a pronounced influence on the educational function of a school building. Recent curriculum and new teaching methods have required the sufficient space provided for circulation and various circulation spaces in a school building, such as elevator, pilotis, bridge, atrium, deck, lobby and locker room. However excessive circulation space is wasteful form the standpoint of both initial investment and operation. This study aims to investigate new circulation patterns and functions, and to propose the adequate size in planning a school corridor. For this purpose, it explores the recent trends of the corridor planning represented in the excellent school facilities in 2002. and analyzes the newly-added functions In the school corridor : architectural in-between space, dwelling space for ordinary activities, space for educational media and auxiliary learning space. This research recommends that the corridor width be carefully planned according to the supposed functions in order to achieve the efficiency in the design of school facilities.

A new simple relation for the estimation of modal correlation coefficients is presented. It is obtained from the decomposition of covariances of modal responses into background and resonant contributions, as it is commonly done for the variances. Thanks to appropriate assumptions, the modal correlation coefficients are estimated as weighted sums of two limit values, corresponding to the background and resonant responses respectively. The weighting coefficients are expressed as functions of the background-to-resonant ratios, which makes the proposed formulation convenient and easily accessible. The simplicity of the mathematical formulation facilitates the physical interpretation. It is for example proved that modal correlation coefficients can be non negligable even in case of well separated natural frequencies, which is sometimes unclear in the litterature. The new relation is mainly efficient in case of large finite element models. It is applied and validated on a finite element buffeting analysis of the Viaduct of Millau, the highest bridge deck ever built so far.

There are three examples of noise reduction test by joint improvement. One of them is tested for electric car at joint rail and another is tested at expansion joint and long welded rail and the third is tested at open deck bridge. We can know from the result that the noise reduction effect of rail welding is very different to the type of track and the car. The condition of the test has some differences, but it may be useful reference of noise reduction

Despite of the growing number of built examples, the analysis of non-symmetrical cable-stayed bridges has not received considerable attention from the researchers. In fact, the effects of the main design parameters in the structural behavior of these bridges are not addressed in detail in the literature. To fill this gap, this paper studies the structural response of a number of non-symmetrical cable-stayed bridges. With this aim, a parametric analysis is performed to evaluate the effect of each of the main design parameters (the ratio between the main and the back span length, the pylon, the deck and backstay stiffnesses, the pylon inclination, and the stay configuration) of this kind of bridges. Furthermore, the role of the geometrical nonlinearity and the steel consumption in stays are evaluated.

The demand on a turnout layed on a bridge is rising owing to the increasing number of stations on the viaduct. And also the demand on a turnout with CWR is rising to upgrade running speed of the passing train. A CWR connected with turnout is subjected to additional axial force induced by the actions due to change in temperature, braking and starting force, and bending of the deck. But magnitude and distribution of the axial force in rails of turnout is not clear yet. So, in this study, a field measurement was conducted to know them. The strain gage method was adopted for field test. The FBG sensor for the strain measurement was used to ensure stability of test value and durability of gage for long term. It is expected that we can get data on the axial force in rail connected with turnout with respect to seasonal temperature change by the established field test system.

By applying the newly developed techniques of polymer impregnated concrete (PIC) severely deteriorated and low quality concrete can be restored to an adequate structural material. Early deterioration of concrete causes severe problems for bridge deck concrete, pavement concrete for highways and airports, hydraulic structures and buiilding structures. Deterioration has its orgin in cracks on concrete surface, scaling of spalling due to freezing and thawing, neutralization of concrete, penetrations of water, salt, and calcium chloride. The objective of this study is to develope the new surface impregnants and strengthening techniques for them. It is found that the new impregnants and strengthening techniques developed in this study can retian the charecteristics of the existing concrete and decrease deterioration, and also increase durability, chemical resistance, strength, stiffness and ductility of the existing concrete.

Very-Early-Strength Latex-Modified Concrete(VESLMC) provides the repairing material with short curing time as well as excellent bond strength, flexural strength and impermeability against water and chloride. In 2001, VESLMC introduced in Korea and improved superior material through research and development on material properties and durability. In 2003, the field test progressed for study problems of VESLMC field application. This paper introduced equipment improvement for bridge deck repair save both repair time and labor, while producing quality VESLMC structures.
