Precast R.C. slabs are being used widely for the construction of bridge structures due to their simplicity in construction processes. However, one of the disadvantages in precast R.C. slabs is the existence of transverse joints between two precast slabs. The transverse joints are structurally fragile and the task of strengthening the joints is difficult one due to their structural discontinuity. The aim of this study was to improve the behavior of transverse joints between precast R.C. slabs by introducing prestress with external cables. Three steel-concrete composite bridge specimens, which were prestressed with the external cables anchored on steel girders, were fabricated in the laboratory. Both pretension and post-tension methods were applied to introduce prestressing on the concrete slab with a straight tendon arrangement. Static tests were conducted at service load and ultimate load test was performed to evaluate punching shear capacity of the transverse joint. In this paper, two prestressing methods were tested and their effects were evaluated with respect to the elastic behavior and ultimate loading capacity of the transverse joints.

It is well understood that concentrated forces applied in the plane of a beam or panel (such as a wall or slab) lead to splitting forces developing within a disturbed region forming beyond the bearing zone. In a linearly elastic material the length of the disturbed region is approximately equal to the depth of the member. In concrete structures, however, the length of the disturbed region is a function of the orthotropic properties of the concrete-steel composite. In the detailing of steel reinforcement within the disturbed regions two limit states must be satisfied; strength and serviceability (in this case the serviceability requirement being acceptable crack widths). If the design requires large redistribution of stresses, the member may perform poorly at service and/or overload. In this paper the results of a plane stress finite element investigation of concentrated loads on reinforced concrete panels are presented. Two cases are examined (i) panels loaded concentrically, and (ii) panels loaded eccentrically. The numerical investigation suggests that the bursting force distribution is substantially different from that calculated using elastic design methods currently used in some codes of practice. The optimum solution for a uniformly reinforced bursting region was found to be with the reinforcement distributed from approximately 0.2 times the effective depth of the member ($0.2D_e$) to between $1.2D_e$ and $1.6D_e$. Strut and tie models based on the finite element analyses are proposed herein.

The reduction effect of floor impact noise depends on the various factors such as stiffness and thickness of the concrete slab, finishing If ceiling materials and the composition method. Among the rest it is well known that floating floor system is more effective. Standard floating floor(SFF) type-2 consisted of 50mm lightweight aerated concrete(LAC) and 20mm damping material has been widely used. But LAC construction problem on dry damping material occurred and the reduction effect of floor impact noise has bare minimum qualifications. Thus the aim of this study is to develop 40mm composite damping material(Soundzero Plus) for SFF type-5 which substitute LAC and damping material. 'Soundzero Plus' is satisfied with quality requirement for damping material for SFF. The heat transition rate, $0.45W/m^2{\cdot}K$ is more effective 55% about than the regulation. The test results of floor impact noise by using 'Soundzero Plus' are showed good improvement about 12dB (tested by tapping machine) and 4dB (tested by bang machine) between before and after.

A theoretical presentation of evanescent coupling is offered with respect to the refractive indexes between a side-polished optical fiber and an infinitely planar waveguide with a conductor cladding (PWGCC). The PWG is suspended at a constant distance from an unclad fiber core and attached with the perfect conductor (PEC) on one side. The behavior of the distributed couple. is examined using a coupled mode model, which takes account of the two dimensions of the waveguide configuration. The coupling and propagation of light were found to depend on both the relationship between the refractive index values of each structure and the configuration of the side-polished fiber used in the PWGCC. The spreading of light in the unconfined direction of the PWGCC is described in terms of a simple geometrical interpretation of the synchronization condition that is in agreement with a previous investigation of the problem based on the coupled-mode theory (CMT). The power of the light propagation in the fiber decreased exponentially along the fiber axis as it was transferred to the PWGCC, where it was carried away.

Behavior of RC beam-column joint is very complex as the composite material behaves differently in elastic and inelastic range. The approaches generally used for predicting joint shear strength are either based on theoretical, strut-and-tie or empirical methods. These approaches are incapable of predicting the accurate response of the joint for entire range of loading. In the present study a new generalized RC beam-column joint shear strength model based on hybrid approach i.e. combined strut-and-tie and empirical approach has been proposed. The contribution of governing parameters affecting the joint shear strength under compression has been derived from compressive strut approach whereas; the governing parameters active under tension has been extracted from empirical approach. The proposed model is applicable for various conditions such as, joints reinforced either with or without shear reinforcement, joints with wide beam or wide column, joints with transverse beams and slab, joints reinforced with X-bars, different anchorage of beam bar, and column subjected to various axial loading conditions. The joint shear strength prediction of the proposed model has been compared with 435 experimental results and with eleven popular models from literature. In comparison to other eleven models the prediction of the proposed model is found closest to the experimental results. Moreover, from statistical analysis of the results, the proposed model has the least coefficient of variation. The proposed model is simple in application and can be effectively used by designers.

This paper describes a study of the mapping relationship between the vertical deformation of bridge structures and rail deformation of high-speed railway, taking the interlayer interactions of the bridge subgrade CRTS II ballastless slab track system (HSRBST) into account. The differential equations and natural boundary conditions of the mapping relationship between the vertical deformation of bridge structures and rail deformation were deduced according to the principle of stationary potential energy. Then an analytical model for such relationship was proposed. Both the analytical method proposed in this paper and the finite element numerical method were used to calculate the rail deformations under three typical deformations of bridge structures and the evolution of rail geometry under these circumstances was analyzed. It was shown that numerical and analytical calculation results are well agreed with each other, demonstrating the effectiveness of the analytical model proposed in this paper. The mapping coefficient between bridge structure deformation and rail deformation showed a nonlinear increase with increasing amplitude of the bridge structure deformation. The rail deformation showed an obvious "following feature"; with the increase of bridge span and fastener stiffness, the curve of rail deformation became gentler, the track irregularity wavelength became longer, and the performance of the rail at following the bridge structure deformation was stronger.

This paper presents a designing method for enhancing fire resistance of steel box bridge girders (closed steel box bridge girder supporting a thin concrete slab) through taking into account such parameters namely; fire severity, type of longitudinal stiffeners (I, L, and T shaped), and number of longitudinal stiffeners. A validated 3-D finite element model, developed through the computer program ANSYS, is utilized to go over the fire response of a typical steel box bridge girder using the transient thermo-structural analysis method. Results from the numerical analysis show that fire severity and type of longitudinal stiffeners welded on bottom flange have significant influence on fire resistance of steel box bridge girders. T shaped longitudinal stiffeners applied on bottom flange can highly prevent collapse of steel box bridge girders towards the end of fire exposure. Increase of longitudinal stiffeners on bottom flange and web can slightly enhance fire resistance of steel box bridge girders. Rate of deflection-based criterion can be reliable to evaluate fire resistance of steel box bridge girders in most fire exposure cases. Thus, T shaped longitudinal stiffeners on bottom flange incorporated into bridge fire-resistance design can significantly enhance fire resistance of steel box bridge girders.

본 논문에서는 압엽형강(H형강)을 이용한 초간편 강합성 교량에 대한 3차원 유한요소해석을 실시하여, 다양한 하중조건에 따른 하중분배값을 검토하였다. 유한요소해석에는 범용구조해석 프로그램 ABAQUS(2007)가 사용되었다. 하중분배계수 검토에 고려된 변수로는 콘크리트 슬래브 두께, 강판 두께, 주형길이, 바닥판 폭, 그리고 교량 연속성이 적용되었다. 해석을 통해 얻어진 하중 분배율은 AASHTO Standard 와 LRFD 설계기준의 제안식 및 기존 연구자들이 제안한 식들과 비교 검토되었다. AASHTO Standard는 매우 안전측의 하중분배율을 제안하고 있으며, AASHTO LRFD의 경우 내측주형의 경우 유사한 결과를 나타내기도 했으나 외측주형의 경우 대부분의 경우 큰 값을 나타내었다. 본 연구를 통해 제안된 하중분배값은 유한요소해석 결과를 토대로 안전측으로 제안되었으며, 설계변수별 상세설계에 적용가능하다. 또한 본 논문에서는 초간편 강합성 H형강 교량의 설계 간편성을 극대화하고 안전성을 고려하여 내측주형의 경우 0.42, 외측주형의 경우 0.32를 제안하였다. 본 연구내용에 검토된 매개변수 범위 내에서 간편 하중분배값의 적용이 가능하며, 본 연구의 결과는 초간편 강합성 H형강 교량의 설계 및 시공 활성화에 크게 기여할 것이다.

프리캐스트 방식에 의해 제작이 가능한 격자형 강합성 바닥판의 이음부는 콘크리트 전단키와 고장력볼트 체결로 구성될 수 있으며, 이와같은 이음부 자체에 대한 휨 및 전단성능은 부재요소에 대한 실험을 통해 분석된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 실제 바닥판 구조시스템에서 이음부에 의한 횡방향 하중전달 거동을 분석하고자, 길이 2.5m 및 폭 1m의 단위 바닥판 모듈 한쌍에 이음부를 설치한 실험체를 제작하고 중심 및 편심가력 휨실험을 하였다. 이음부에 하중이 직접 가해지는 중심재하 조건에서 고장력볼트의 설치개수가 30cm 간격 9개에서 60cm 간격 4개로 줄어 들 경우, 재하단계에 따라 이음부의 회전이 비교적 더 크게 증가하고, 이에 따라 바닥판 횡방향으로의 하중전달 정도가 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 그러나, 한쪽 바닥판의 중심에 집중하중이 가해지는 편심재하 조건의 경우에는 횡방향 하중전달 거동에 큰 차이가 없었다. 하중 재하방법별로 이음부의 거동을 비교한 결과, 집중하중에 대한 바닥판 횡방향으로의 하중분배 및 전달량은 이음부 자체의 성능뿐만 아니라 바닥판 슬래브의 펀칭전단에 의해서도 제한되는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한, 펀칭 전단파괴가 발생할 때까지 이음부의 고장력볼트가 항복하지 않은 점을 고려할 때, 이음부 고장력볼트의 설치개수를 4개에서 9개로 증가시키는 것은 실질적으로 강도 보다는 이음부 및 바닥판의 휨강성 성능 증가에 더 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 사료된다.
