Recently, many studies about a high-strength concrete and composite structures are being progressed to get the more economic and stable result in the construction of structure all over the world. One of those studies is about CFTA(Concrete Filled and Tied Steel Tubular Arch) girder that applies an arch structure and a pre-stressed structure to CFT(Concrete Filled Steel Tubular) Structure which is filled with a concrete and improve the stiffness and strength of the structure by the confinement effect of fillers to maximize the efficiency of structure and economic. In this study, non-linear behavior of CFTA girders filled with a general concrete and the high-strength concrete respectively were analyzed by using ABAQUS 6.5-1 and results were compared.

The CFTA girder developed is a concrete filled steel tubular system with arched shape and external post-tensioning (PT) tendons which control the initial camber and the bending stress of the girder. In the present study the effects of the PT tendons on the dynamic behavior of the girder subjected to a moving vehicle load are numerically investigated. Various levels for the tendon quantity and the tendon forces are considered, using the existing FE model of the girder. The vehicle considered is a DB-24 truck and is modeled with two tracks-three axles. Equivalent-load pulse time histories are applied to each node to simulate the moving vehicle, depending on the time of arrival and the discretization. The vehicle speeds are varied from 40 km/hr to 100 km/hr with increment of 20 km/hr. The analysis results show that the tendon forces do not produce any influences on the dynamic responses of the girder. However the dymamic deflection of the girder increases when a smaller amount of tendons is used. The Dynamic Amplification Factors (DAF) are evaluated based on the static and dynamic responses. Much lower values of the DAF are obtained, even no tendons applied, than those provided by the design criteria of the AASHTO LRFD and the Korea Highway Standard Specification.

본 연구에서는 유한요소해석을 이용하여 차량속도 및 긴장재의 설계에 따른 CFTA 거더의 동적거동 및 동적증폭계수를 분석하였다. 긴장재의 해석변수로서는 긴장재의 양과 긴장력을 고려하였으며 차량하중은 도로교설계기준의 DB-24 하중을 선택하였다. 차량하중은 3축-2트랙에 작용하는 등가절점하중으로 변환하여 속도에 따라 시간함수로 모델링하였다. 긴장재의 양은 외측 �� 내측 덕트의 유무에 따라 변화시켰으며 긴장력은 설계긴장력의 0%에서 100%까지 25%씩 증가시켰다. 차량속도는 40km/hr에서 100km/hr까지 20km/hr씩 증가시켰으며, 해석결과 긴장재의 긴장력 변화는 거더의 동적거동에 영향을 주지 않았으며 초기처짐에만 영향을 주었다. 긴장재의 양에 따라서는 거더의 동적거동이 다르게 나타났으며 긴장재의 양이 적을 수록 동적처짐은 증가하였다. 이를 바탕으로 거더의 동적증폭계수(DAF)를 산출하였으며, 이 결과 긴장재가 없는 경우에도 도로교표준시방서에서 정한 기준 값보다 매우 작은 거동을 보였다.
