The effects of heat input(1.5~3.6kJ/mm) and postweld heat treatment(PWHT, $600^{\circ}C$, 40hr.) on the TMCP HSB600 steel weldments made by GMAW process were investigated. The tensile strength and CVN impact energy of as-welded specimens decreased with increasing heat input. The fine-grained acicular ferrite was mainly formed in the low heat input while polygonal and side plate ferrites were dominated in the high inputs. Meanwhile, tensile strength and hardness of PWHT weldments decreased due to the coarsening of microstructure and reduction of residual stresses.

High performance steel for bridges requires higher performance in tensile and yield strength, toughness, weldability, etc. The purpose of this study is to investigate the weldability of HSB 600 steel. The effects of heat input (1.4~3.2kJ/mm) and postweld heat treatment (PWHT, $600^{\circ}C$, 40hr.) on the TMCP HSB600 steel weldments made by GMAW process were investigated. The tensile strength and hardness of as-welded specimens decreased with increasing heat input. Charpy V-notch impact energy did not show any significant difference by postweld heat treatment. The fine-grained acicular ferrite was mainly formed in the 2.1kJ/mm of heat input while polygonal and side plate ferrites were dominated in the high inputs. Meanwhile, tensile strength and hardness of PWHT weldments decreased due to the coarsening and globularization of ferrite microstructure and reduction of residual stresses with increasing heat inputs. However, there was no significant difference in the impact energy absorption.

The flexural behavior of HSB I-girder with a non-slender web attributed to inelastic lateral-torsional buckling under uniform bending was investigated using nonlinear finite element analysis of ABAQUS. The girder was assumed to have a compact or noncompact web in order to prevent premature bend-buckling of the web. The unbraced length of the girder was selected so that inelastic lateral-torsional buckling governs the ultimate flexural strength. The compression flange was also assumed to be either compact or noncompact to prevent local buckling of the elastic flange. Both homogeneous sections fabricated from HSB600 or HSB800 steel and hybrid sections with HSB800 flanges and SM570-TMC web were considered. In the FE analysis, the flanges and web of I-girder were modeled as thin shell elements. Initial imperfections and residual stresses were imposed on the FE model. An elasto-plastic strain hardening material was assumed for steel. After establishing the validity of the present FE analysis by comparing FE results with test results in existing literature, the effects of initial imperfection and residual stress on the inelastic lateral-torsional buckling behavior were analyzed. Finite element analysis results for 96 sections demonstrated that the current inelastic strength equations for the compression flange in AASHTO LTFD can be applied to predict the inelastic lateral torsional buckling strength of homogeneous and hybrid HSB I-girders with a non-slender web.

본 논문에서는 교량의 주부재에 교량용 고성능강을 적용하여 설계해 본 후, 이러한 적용이 교량의 진동사용성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 그 영향을 분석해 보고자 한다. 최근들어 교량상의 구조적인 결함이 없더라도 진동에 의해 교량을 통행하는 운전자나 보행자에게 불안감을 주는 경우가 빈번히 발생하기 때문에 진동사용성이란 문제는 보다 부각되고 있다. 특히 고성능강이 개발되고 이를 교량에 적용하게 되면 허용응력의 증가로 이어져 거더의 형고감소를 가능하게 한다. 그러나 이러한 형고의 감소는 교량의 휨강성을 저하시켜 사용성의 악화를 초래할 것이란 예측이 있었다. 따라서 본 연구는 차량-교량의 상호작용에 의해 발생하는 진동영향의 분석을 위해 유한요소해석 프로그램인 Abaqus 6.10을 이용해 수치해석을 수행하였고 이때의 진동영향을 평가했다. 차량-교량 상호작용의 해석을 위해 ASSHTO 기준의 HS 20-44 차량을 해석 대상교량 위로 주행하도록 하였다. 해석대상교량은 인장강도가 각각 600MPa와 800MPa인 교량용 고성능강재(HSB, High-Performance Steel for Bridge)를 적용하여 주거더를 설계한 강플레이트 거더교를 대상으로 삼았다. 차량이 교량을 통과하면서 발생하는 교량의 경간 중앙부에서 발생하는 수직진동의 시간이력을 분석하여 진동평가의 기준으로 삼았다. 해석결과 HSB600과 HSB800으로 각각 설계된 교량은 가속도이력에서는 큰 차이가 없었으나 변위이력에서는 HSB800적용 교량이 진동사용성 측면에서 매우 불리한 거동을 보였다. 따라서 고성능강 적용에 따른 교량의 진동사용성을 평가하기 위해서는 변위를 기준으로한 평가가 이루어져야하며, 변위의 진동을 제어하기 위한 방안이 모색되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

The ultimate flexural strength of HSB I-girders, considering the effect of local bucking, was investigated through a series of nonlinear finite element analysis. The girders were selected such that the inelastic local flange buckling or the plastic yielding of compression flanges governs the flexural strength. Both homogeneous sections fabricated from HSB600 or HSB800 steel and hybrid sections with HSB800 flanges and SM570-TMC web were considered. In the FE analysis, the flanges and web were modeled using thin shell elements and initial imperfections and residual stresses were imposed on the FE model. An elasto-plastic strain hardening material was used for steels. After establishing the validity of present FE analysis by comparing FE results with test results published in the literature, the effects of initial imperfection and residual stress on the inelastic flange local buckling behavior were assessed. The ultimate flexural strengths of 60 I-girders with various compression flange slenderness were obtained by FE analysis and compared with those calculated from the KHBDC, AASHTO LRFD and Eurocode 3 provisions. Based on the comparison, the applicability of design equations in these specifications for the flexural strength of I-girder considering flange local buckling was evaluated.

A connection composed of a circular hollow structural section (HSS) has complicated details, and exhibits a very complex local deformation when it reaches the yield stress. Given these circumstances, proposing a simple design equation considering local deformation is difficult. The design equations of the Korea Building Code (KBC 2009) for HSS joints are simple and are very similar to those of the AISC. These design equations limit the maximum yield stress up to 360MPa and yield ratio (yield strength/tensile strength) up to 0.8. This means that the material with yield strength exceeding 360MPa could be used after verification based on the test or rational analysis for the similar connection. This paper introduces an experimental program and finite element analysis (FEA) for the circular hollow section (CHS) with a transverse gusset plate made of high-strength steel (HSB600) or structural steel (SS400) when the joints are subjected to lateral force. Comparison of the design equations with the results of FEA and test may be used for the modification of the design equations.
