In order to resolve the problem of increasing traffic entailed by the economic development, road system is reorganization and new highways are built, and long span bridges over 40m are being constructed in environmental and aesthetic considerations. Most long span bridges that are currently being constructed are in general steel box girder and preflex girder bridges; however these types of breiges are less efficiency than PSC I-type girder bridges in terms of construction cost and maintenance. Therefore, in these study, structural efficiency of PSC I-type girders based on section parameters, concrete compressive strength and other design parameter is observed to develope new PSC I-type girder for long span bridges. As a results of analysis, most important design parameters that control the stress of the girder are found to be the top flange width and the height of girder. In this light, the relationship between the two variables is determined and cross-section details of the girder that most appropriates for the long span bridges are proposed. The use of high strength concrete appears to increase the general design span however the increase rate of the span from increasing concrete ultimate strength appears to be reduced depending on the span. Also, the optimal girder spacing is determined through the parameter studies of design span using the proposed girder.

When a roof frame is subjected to the airblast loading, the conventional way to analyze the damage of the frame or design the frame is to use single degree of freedom (SDOF) model. Although a roof frame consists of beams and girders, a typical SDOF analysis can be conducted only separately for each component. Thus, the rigid body motion of beams by deflections of supporting girders can not be easily considered. Neglecting the beam-girder interaction in the SDOF analysis may cause serious inaccuracies in the response values in both Pressure-Impulse curve (P-I) and Charge Weight-Standoff Diagrams (CWSD). In this paper, an inelastic two degrees of freedom (TDOF) model is developed, based on force equilibrium equations, to consider beam-girder interaction, and to assess if the modified SDOF analysis can be a reasonable design approach.

To simplify the design and reduce the construction cost of traditional multi-girder structural systems, twin I-girder structures are widely used in many countries in recent years. Due to the concern on post-fracture redundancy, however, twin girder bridges are currently classified as fracture critical structures in AASHTO specifications for highway bridges. To investigate the after-fracture behavior of such structures, a composite steel and concrete twin girder specimen was built and an artificial fracture through the web and the bottom flange was created on one main girder. The static loading test was performed to investigate its mechanical performance after a severe fracture occurred on the main girder. Applied load and vertical displacement curves, and the applied load versus strain relationships at key sections were measured. To investigate the load distribution and transfer capacities between two steel girders, the normal strain development on crossbeams was also measured during the loading test. In addition, both shear and normal strains of studs were also measured in the loading test to explore the behavior of shear connectors in such bridges. The functions and structural performance of structural members and possible load transfer paths after main girder fractures in such bridges were also discussed. The test results indicate in this study that a typical twin I-girder can resist a general fracture on one of its two main girders. The presented results can provide references for post-fracture performance and optimization for the design of twin I-girder bridges and similar structures.

PSC I 거더의 장경간화는 단면의 세장비와 자중의 영향 등을 증가시켜 거더의 횡적 불안정에 대한 위험성을 높였다. 특히 최근에는 시공 중 거더의 전도 붕괴사고가 증가하고 있어 거더의 횡적 불안정성에 대한 평가 기술이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 시공 중 전도 붕괴의 한 원인으로 판단되어지고 있는 풍하중에 대하여 PSC I 거더의 횡방향 거동 특성과 안정성을 평가하였다. 거더의 횡방향 불안정성은 주로 거더의 길이와 받침의 강성 변화에 의해 영향을 받는다. 해석결과에 의하면 거더의 경간장이 증가함에 따라 거더의 횡적 불안정성을 유발할 수 있는 임계 풍하중은 감소하고, 거더의 변형과 회전각, 받침의 회전각은 모두 증가하였다. 최종적으로 시공 시 PSC I 거더의 임계 풍하중과 임계 횡변위량을 계산할 수 있는 해석식을 제시함으로써, 시공 시 거더의 횡적 안정성을 유지하기 위한 정량적 관리 수치를 제공할 수 있으리라 판단된다.

최근에 인장강도 800MPa급 고성능 강재가 개발되었지만 플랜지와 복부판의 상호작용을 고려한 플레이트 거더의 국부좌굴에 대한 연구는 아직까지 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구는 HSB 800을 적용한 플레이트 거더의 플랜지 국부좌굴에 대한 강도를 비선형 유한요소해석으로 평가하였다. 비선형 해석 시 I-단면을 갖는 플레이트 거더의 플랜지와 복부판은 3차원 쉘요소로써 초기결함 및 잔류응력을 고려하였으며, 고성능 강재의 재료모델은 다중선형 재료로 모형화하였다. 이를 적용하여 복부판이 조밀, 비조밀 그리고 세장 단면을 갖는 압축 플랜지에 대해 매개변수 해석을 수행하였다. 플레이트 거더의 플랜지 국부좌굴에 대한 거동을 분석하였고, 본 연구의 비선형 해석 결과를 AASHTO LRFD(2012)와 도로교설계기준(한계상태설계법, 2012)의 압축플랜지 공칭휨강도와 비교하여 평가하였다.

Over the past couple decades, externally bonded fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have emerged as a repair and strengthening material for many concrete infrastructure applications. This paper presents an analytical investigation of the use of carbon FRP (CFRP) for a specific problem that occurs in concrete bridge girders wherein the girder ends are damaged by excessive exposure to deicing salts and numerous freezing/thawing cycles. A 3D finite element (FE) model of a full scale prestressed concrete (PC) I-girder is used to investigate the effect of damage to the cover concrete and stirrups in the end region of the girder. Parametric studies are performed using externally bonded CFRP shear laminates to determine the most effective repair schemes for the damaged end region under a short shear span-to-depth ratio. Experimental results on shear pull off tests of CFRP laminates that have undergone accelerated aging are used to calibrate a bond stress-slip model for the interface between the FRP and concrete substrate and approximate the reduced bond stress-slip properties associated with exposure to the environment that causes this type of end region damage. The results of these analyses indicate that this particular application of this material can be effective in recovering the original strength of PC bridge girders with damaged end regions, even after environmental aging.

Prestressed concrete (PC) is the predominant material in highway bridge construction. The use of high-strength concrete has gained wide acceptance in the PC industry. The main target in the highway industry is to increase the durability and the life-span of bridges. Cracking of elements is one aspect which affects durability. Recently, nine 7.62 meter long PC I-beams made with different concrete strength were designed according to a simple, semi-empirical equation developed at the University of Houston (UH) (Laskar et al., ACI Journal 107(3): 330-339, 2010). The UH Method is a function of shear span-to-depth ratio (a/d), concrete strength $\sqrt{f^{\prime}_c}$, web area $b_wd$, and amount of transverse steel. Based on testing these girders, the shear cracking strength of girders with different concrete strength and different shear span-to-depth ratio was investigated and compared to the available approaches in current codes such as ACI 318-11 (2011) and AASHTO LRFD Specifications (2010).

Prestressed concrete (PSC) I-type girders have been used for span length around up to 40 m in domestic region. PSC girders are very cost effective girder type and extending their lengths more than 50 m will bring large benefit in cost. A new design method was proposed by combining two notable design concept in order to extend the applicable span length in this study. First of all, several numbers of openings was introduced in the girder web, and half of the anchorage devices were moved into the openings. In this way, large compressive stress developed at end zone was reduced, and the portion of design load coming from self-weight was reduced as well. Secondly, prestressing force was introduced in the girder not once at the initial stage, but through multiple loading stages. A full scale girder with the length of 50 m with the girder depth of 2 m was fabricated, and a flexural test was conducted in order to verify the performance of newly developed girder. Test results showed that the new holed web design concept can provide a way to design girders longer than 50 meters with the girder height of 2 m.

초간편 강합성 바닥판은 H형강을 거더로 활용하면서 교량가설시 H형강의 횡-비틀림 좌굴을 방지하고 공기를 단축시키기 위하여 개발하였다. 또한 초간편 강합성 바닥판과 H형강 거더의 합성거동을 확보하기 위하여 사용되는 전단연결재를 초간편 강합성 바닥판의 강판과 H형강 거더의 연결방식에 따라 연결볼트를 길게 뽑아 스터드를 대체하여 전단연결재로 사용하는 방식과 유공I형강을 전단연결재로 활용하는 방식으로 개발하였다. 본 연구에서는 이렇게 개발한 신형식 전단연결재에 대한 전단내력 평가를 위하여 Push-Out 실험을 실시하고, 기존 전단연결재의 전단내력 평가식과 비교 분석하였다. Push-Out 실험을 통하여 연결볼트는 스터드와 같은 거동을 하는 것으로 확인하였으며, 도로교 설계기준의 전단내력 평가식은 지름이 큰 연결볼트의 전단내력을 과대평가하는 것으로 나타났다. 용접량의 변화에 따른 유공I형강의 Push-Out 실험에서는 용접량이 적은 경우에는 용접부의 전단내력이 지배하였으나, 용접량이 일정정도 이상인 경우에는 일정한 전단내력을 발휘하는 것으로 나타났다.
