건설 재료가 나날이 발전함에 따라 재료 강도는 과거에 비하여 획기적으로 증대 되었으며, 이는 구조물의 자중을 경감 시켜 경제적인 설계를 가능하게 할 뿐 아니라, 심미적 요건까지 만족 시키고 있다. 특히 고강도 강재의 경우, 항복강도는 약 480MPa로, 일반 구조용 강재 보다 약 50% 더 크다. 그러나 고강도 재료의 사용은 단면을 세장하게 하여 국부 좌굴 안정성에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 세장 단면은 탄성 좌굴을 일으킬 수 있으며, 탄성 좌굴 강도는 경계조건에 대하여 매우 민감하다. I형 거더의 경우 복부판은 압축 플랜지의 경계조건을 결정하므로, 복부판의 강성은 얇은 압축 플랜지의 탄성 좌굴 강도에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 유한요소해석을 통해 플랜지 및 복부판의 세장비가 휨 모멘트를 받는 이축대칭 I형 거더의 플랜지 탄성좌굴에 미치는 영향을 분석 하였다. 유한요소해석결과, 탄성좌굴강도와 좌굴모드는 복부판의 지지조건의 영향 뿐 아니라 플랜지와 복부판의 세장비의 비율에 따라 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 판단된다.

프리스트레스드 콘크리트(Prestressed Concrete, PSC) 거더는 프리텐션과 포스트텐션 긴장 방식으로 구분되고, 단면 형상에서는 I형과 U형으로 구분된다. 각 긴장 방식과 단면 형상에 따른 장단점이 있고, 각각의 방식으로 교량 건설 현장에 적용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 프리텐션 긴장 방식과 U형 단면의 단점을 극복하여 적용한 새로운 거더 형식을 제안하고 구조 성능을 검증하고자 하였다. 프리텐션 긴장 방식의 거더는 반력대가 필요한 관계로 주로 공장에서 제작되며, 이동을 위하여 무게와 경간장이 제한되는 단점이 있다. 또한 U형 단면의 경우 전도 등 시공 시 구조 안정성이 높으나, 자중이 I형에 비해 상대적으로 커서 현장 제작 후 포스트텐션 긴장 방식이 주로 적용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 현장 프리텐션 긴장 방식을 적용한 PSC 거더 제작 방식 제시하고 40 m급 실대형 실험체를 제작하여 구조 성능을 검증하였다.

There are numerous structural details (Longitudinal beam, web plate, U-ribs and I-ribs) in the top and bottom plates of steel box girders, which have significant influences on the longitudinal stress (normal stress) distribution. Clarifying the influence of these structural details on the normal stress distribution is important. In this paper, the ultra-wide steel box girder with large cantilevers of the Jinhai Bridge in China, which is the widest cable-stayed bridge in the world, has been analyzed. A 1:4.5 scale laboratory model of the steel box girder has been manufactured, and the influence of structural details on the normal stress distribution in the top and bottom plates for four different load cases has been analyzed in detail. Furthermore, a three-dimensional finite element model has been established to further investigate the influence regularity of structural details on the normal stress. The experimental and finite element analysis (FEA) results have shown that different structural details of the top and bottom plates have varying effects on the normal stress distribution. Notably, the U-ribs and I-ribs of the top and bottom plates introduce periodicity to the normal stress distribution. The period of the influence of U-ribs on the normal stress distribution is the sum of the single U-rib width and the U-rib spacing, and that of the influence of I-ribs on the normal stress distribution is equal to the spacing of the I-ribs. Furthermore, the same structural details but located at different positions, will have a different effect on the normal stress distribution.

본 논문은 중공슬래브 교량의 장점을 극대화하여 프라캐스트로 제작된 PSC-I거더의 단순한 조립을 통해 중공슬래브를 형성시키는 교량공법을 제안하고 이를 검증하였다. 하천이나 단지 내 교량과 같이 저형고 거더교가 요구되는 현장에 고가인 강합성 계열의 교량이 적용되어 과도한 공사비가 소요되고 있으며, 다양한 장점을 갖는 중공슬래브 교량이 콘크라트의 현장타설로 인해 중공부에 구조적 균열이 발생하여 그 적용성이 확장되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구를 통해 새로운 거더공법을 대안으로 제시하고 설계기준에 따른 강도와 응력검토, 제작을 위한 거푸집의 설계, 시공단계별 절차 등 현업적용을 위한 기반기술을 개발하였으며, 조립된 거더가 일체로 거동하도록 각 거더의 횡방향 연결을 위한 다양한 공법을 제시하고 적정성을 검토하였다. 또한, 실물크기의 실험체 거더 2본을 제작하고 시공과정에서의 문제점들을 도출하였으며, 하중재하 실험을 수행하여 거더의 성능과 적용성을 검토하였다. 실험결과, 하중의 편측 재하시 발생한 수직변위 계측을 통해 두 거더가 일체로 거동하는 것을 확인하였으며, 설계하중 내에서 선형탄성 휨 거동을 보이며 예상된 설계 강도를 넘어서는 우수한 성능을 나타내었다.

This paper is dedicated to the buckling behaviors of strengthened perforated plates under edge shear loading, which is a typical load pattern of steel plates in civil engineering, especially in plate and box girders. The square plates considered each has a centric circular hole and is simply supported on four edges in the out-of-plane direction. Three types of strengthening stiffeners named ringed stiffener (RS), flat stiffener (FSA and FSB) and strip stiffener (SSA, SSB and SSC) are mainly discussed. The finite element method (FEM) has been employed to analyse the elastic and elasto-plastic buckling behavior of unstrengthened and strengthened perforated plates. Results show that most of the strengthened perforated plates behave higher buckling strengths than the unstrengthened ones, while the enhancements in elastic buckling stress and elasto-plastic ultimate strength are closely related to stiffener types as well as plate geometric parameters including plate slenderness ratio and hole diameter to plate width ratio. The critical slenderness ratios of shear loaded strengthened perforated plates, which determine the practical buckling pattern (i.e., elastic or elasto-plastic buckling) of the plates, are also studied. Based on the contrastive analyses of strengthening efficiency considering the influence of stiffener consumption, the most efficient cutout-strengthening methods for shear loaded perforated square plates with different slenderness ratios and circular hole diameter to plate width ratios are preliminarily identified.

The cross-section warping due to the passage of high-speed trains can be a relevant issue to consider in the dynamic analysis of bridges due to (i) the usual layout of railway systems, resulting in eccentric moving loads; and (ii) the use of cross-sections prone to warping deformations. A thin-walled beam formulation for the dynamic analysis of bridges including the cross section warping is presented in this paper. Towards a numerical implementation of the beam formulation, a finite element with seven degrees of freedom is proposed. In order to easily consider the compatibility between elements, and since the coupling between flexural and torsional effects occurs in non-symmetric cross-sections due to dynamic effects, a single axis is considered for the element. The coupled flexural-torsional free vibration of thin-walled beams is analysed through the presented beam model, comparing the results with analytical solutions presented in the literature. The dynamic analysis due to an eccentric moving load, which results in a coupled flexural-torsional vibration, is considered in the literature by analytical solutions, being therefore of a limited applicability in practice engineering. In this paper, the dynamic response due to an eccentric moving load is obtained from the proposed finite element beam model that includes warping by a modal analysis.

Composite beams with corrugated steel webs represent a new innovative system which has emerged in the past decade for medium span in the construction technology. The use of composite beams with corrugated steel webs results in a range of benefits, including flexible spaces and reduced foundation costs in the construction technology. The thin corrugated web affords a significant weight reduction of these beams, compared with hot-rolled or welded ones. In the current research, an optimal designed I-girder beam with corrugated web has been proposed to improve the structural performance of continuous composite girder under bending moment. The experimental program has been conducted for six simply supported composite beams with different loading conditions. The tested specimens are designed by using one of the stochastic techniques called hunting search algorithm. In the optimization process, besides the thickness of concrete slab and studs, corrugated web properties are considered as design variables. The design constraints are respectively implemented from Eurocode 3, BS-8110 and DIN 18-800 Teil-1. The last part of the study focuses on performing a numerical study on composite beams by utilizing finite element analysis and the bending behavior of steel girders with corrugated webs experimentally and numerically verified the results. A nonlinear analysis was carried out using the finite element software ANSYS on the composite beams which were modelled using the elements ten-node high order quadrilateral type.

Castellated beams fabricated from standard I-sections are being used for several structural applications such as commercial and industrial buildings, multistory buildings, warehouses and portal frames in view of numerous advantages. The advantages include enhanced moment of inertia, stiffness, flexural resistance, reduction in weight of structure, by passing the used plate girders, the passage of service through the web openings etc. In the present study, experimental and numerical investigations were carried out on concrete encased steel castellated beams with hexagonal openings under flexural loading. Various positions of openings such as along the neutral axis, above the neutral axis and below the neutral axis were considered for the study. From the experimental findings, it has been observed that the load-carrying capacity of the castellated beam with web opening above neutral axis is found to be higher compared to other configurations. Nonlinear finite element analysis was performed by using general purpose finite element software ABAQUS considering the material nonlinearities. Concrete damage plasticity model was employed to model the nonlinearity of concrete and elasto-plastic model for steel. It has been observed that FE model could able to capture the behaviour of concrete encased steel castellated beams and the predicted values are in good agreement with the corresponding experimental values.

In common structural systems, there are some limitations to provide adequate lateral stiffness, high ductility, and architectural openings simultaneously. Consequently, the concept of T-Resisting Frame (TRF) has been introduced to improve the performance of structures. In this study, Configuration of TRF is a Vertical I-shaped Plate Girder (V.P.G) which is placed in the middle of the span and connected to side columns by two Horizontal Plate Girders (H.P.Gs) at each story level. System performance is improved by utilizing rigid connections in link beams (H.P.Gs). Plastic deformation leads to tension field action in H.P.Gs and causes energy dissipation in TRF; therefore, V.P.G. High plastic deformation in web of TRF's members affects the ductility of system. Moreover, in order to prevent shear buckling in web of TRF's members and improve overall performance of the system, appropriate criteria for placement of web stiffeners are presented in this study. In addition, an experimental study is conducted by applying cyclic loading and using finite element models. As a result, hysteresis curves indicate adequate lateral stiffness, stable hysteretic behavior, and high ductility factor of 6.73.
