Prestress losses assumed for bridge girder design and deflection analyses are dependent on the concrete modulus of elasticity (MOE). Most design specifications, such as the American Association of State Highways and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) bridge specifications, contain a constant value for the MOE based on the unit weight of concrete and the concrete compressive strength at 28 days. It has been shown in the past that that the concrete MOE varies with the age of concrete. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a time-dependent and variable MOE on the prestress losses assumed for bridge girder design. For this purpose, three different variable MOE models from the literature were investigated: Dischinger (Der Bauingenieur 47/48(20):563-572, 1939a; Der Bauingenieur 5/6(20):53-63, 1939b; Der Bauingenieur, 21/22(20):286-437, 1939c), American Concrete Institute (ACI) 209 (Tech. Rep. ACI 209R-92, 1992) and CEB-FIP (CEB-FIP Model Code, 2010). A typical bridge layout for the Dallas, Texas, USA, area was assumed herein. A prestressed concrete beam design and analysis program from the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) was utilized to determine the prestress losses. The values of the time dependent MOE and also specific prestress losses from each model were compared. The MOE predictions based on the ACI and the CEB-FIP models were close to each other; in long-term, they approach the constant AASHTO value. Dischinger's model provides for higher MOE values. The elastic shortening and the long term losses from the variable MOE models are lower than that using a constant MOE up to deck casting time. In long term, the variable MOE-based losses approach that from the constant MOE predictions. The Dischinger model would result in more conservative girder design while the ACI and the CEB-FIP models would result in designs more consistent with the AASHTO approach.

In this study, an flexural test on half-scale spliced PSC-I girder was conducted to verify the efficiency of the long span spliced girder as suggested by the Korean Highway Design Specification. The experimental results showed that the specimens developed a complex failure mode due to flexural-compression and torsional stress. The cracking moment of each girder was higher the experiment than was calulated by the ACI and the ultimate strength were the almost same. To estimate the safety and the structural efficiency of the spliced girder, the proposed Yielding Resistance Index(YRI) and ductility index by American Concrete Institutes were used based on the energy concept. The proposed YRI defined the ratio of crack resisting energy and the total energy calculated from load-displacement relationship. Based on the analysis of YRI and ductility index, the flexural behavior of the spliced girder was found to be efficient. Through the experimental results, the structural behavior of proposed spliced PSC I-type girder for long span bridge was found to be more efficient than the exsisting PSC I-type girders.

This paper attempts to extract the fundamental dynamic properties, i.e. natural frequencies, damping ratios of the 48 m-long, $20^{\circ}$ skewed real bridge with PSC girders wrapped by a steel plate. The forced vibration test is achieved by mounting 12 Hz-capacity of artificial oscillator on the top of bridge deck. The acceleration histories at the 9 different locations of deck surface are recorded using accelerometors. From this full-scaled vibration test, the two possible resonance frequencies are detected at 2.38 Hz and 9.86 Hz of the skewed bridge deck by sweeping a beating frequency up to 12 Hz. The absolute acceleration/energy exhibits much higher in case of higher-order twist mode, 9.86 Hz due to the skewness of bridge deck which leads asymmetric situation of vibration. This implies the test bridge is under swinging vertically in fundamental flexure mode while the bridge is also flickered up and down laterally at 9.86 Hz. This is probably by asymmetric geometry of skewed deck. A detailed 3D beam-shell bridge models using finite elements are performed under a series of train loads for modal dynamic analyses. Thereby, the effect of skewness is examined to clarify the lateral flickering caused by asymmetrical geometry of bridge deck.

A bridge comprising of two girders, such as a twin steel box-girder bridge, is classified as fracture critical (i.e., non-redundant). In this study, the various bridge components of the twin steel box-girder bridge are investigated to determine if these could be utilized to improve bridge redundancy. Detailed finite-element (FE) models, capable of simulating prominent failure modes observed in a full-scale bridge fracture test, are utilized to evaluate the contributions of the bridge components on the ultimate behavior and redundancy of the bridge sustaining a fracture on one of its girders. The FE models incorporate material nonlinearities of the steel and concrete members, and are capable of capturing the effects of the stud connection failure and railing contact. Analysis results show that the increased tensile strength of the stud connection and (or) concrete strength are effective in improving bridge redundancy. By modulating these factors, redundancy could be significantly enhanced to the extent that the bridge may be excluded from its fracture critical designation.

Grillages are abundant in ship structures and in many other types of structures such as bridges and building floors. Clarkson has shown that plated grillages can be satisfactorily analyzed as gridworks if an appropriate effective breadth is taken into account. Also, it has previously been pointed out, by Nielsen, that grillage calculations could be simplified by use of the Laplace transformation. In this paper, it is assumed that the torsional rigidity of the members and axial load are negligible, also that girders have the same scantling and spacing each other and so stiffeners do. Then the grillages composed of both-end-fixed girders and both-end-hinged stiffeners, which are subjected only to uniform normal loads are investigated. The calculus of variation is used to set up the differential equations and the Laplace transformation is applied to solve the differential equations. The program has been tested by FACOM 28 and the results show good agreements with those by the STRESS, which was developed in M.I.T.. The amount of the data input and computing time are much less than those of the STRESS. But this program has so much restrictions that it is urgent to extend the program to the grillage problems of arbitrary loading and boundary conditions.

This paper deals with the influence on the dynamic response of I-type girder railway bridge with high-speed electric multiple unit(HEMU) train load. This bridge system which has six I-girder and several cross beams, is modeled with plate and frame elements. And the upper slab is assumed to be fully connected with girders using rigid rinks. Span lengths, types of vehicle and running speeds are selected as parameters for analyses. For more exact analysis, it was adopted that 3-dimensional section of bridge models was produced by the assumed design wheel loads of HEMU vehicle at 200~350 km/hr speeds. Dynamic vertical deflections, dynamic amplification factors and vertical accelerations of bridges having 30 and 35 m span length were investigated and compared with the limit values specified in various national railway bridge specifications.

AASHTO Standard의 하중분배계수식은 지간과 주형간격이 클수록 안전측으로 나타나지만, 지간과 주형간격이 작으면 비안전측임을 기존의 유한요소 연구에서 밝혀졌다. AASHTO LRFD는 주형간격, 지간, 바닥판 두께, 그리고 종방향 강성에 따른 분배계수식을 규정하고는 있으나, 이 식은 초기에 알려지지 않은 종방향 강성 때문에 정확한 하중분배계수 값을 결정하기 위해서는 반복절차가 요구되어진다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 2경간 연속 I-형교의 내측 및 외측주형에 대하여 반복설계 과정을 필요로 하지 않는 하중분배계수 간략식을 제안한다. 주형간격, 주형길이, 바닥판 두께, 바닥판 폭, 그리고 브레이싱의 간격 및 크기의 영향을 조사하기 위하여 유한요소법을 사용하였다. GTSTRUDL을 사용하여 교량 상부구조를 편심 보모델로 이상화 하였으며, 바닥판은 쉘요소, 거더는 보요소, 그리고 이 요소들의 합성거동을 위하여 강절링크로 연결하였다. 이 해석으로부터 얻은 분배계수를 AASHTO Standard와 LRFD 방법과 비교하였으며, 다른 매개변수들에 비해 거더간격, 지간, 그리고 바닥판 두께는 분배계수에 미치는 영향이 크게 나타났다. 내측주형에서 LRFD의 분배계수는 대부분의 경우에 안전측으로 나타났지만, 외측주형에서는 지간이 길 경우 비안전측으로 나타났다. 또한, 회귀분석을 수행하여 하중분배계수 간략식을 개발하였으며, 이 식에 의한 하중분배계수는 유한요소결과 보다는 항상 안전측이면서, AASHTO LRFD 보다는 일반적으로 작게 나타났다. 제안된 간략식은 2경간 연속 I-형교에 대한 실제 하중분배계수 산정에서 교량설계자들에게 도움을 줄 것이다.

합성형은 비합성형에 비해 역학적 측면에서 큰 장점을 지닌 것이 사실이지만 사각이 심한 사교들의 경우 합성형은 매우 큰 상판응력을 유발할 수 있기 때문에 종종 이들 사교들에 대한 비합성형 설계가 검토되어지곤 한다. 하지만 이러한 비합성형은 상판과 주형 경계면에서의 미끄러짐(slip)과 같은 구조적인 문제점을 지니고 있어 현장에 적용하기에는 다소 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 사교들의 전반적인 거동에 영향을 미치는 상판과 주형간의 두 가지 상호작용(합성작용과 비합성작용) 효과를 분석하여 사각이 심한 사교들에 대한 합성형의 적용 타당성을 조사하였다. 주형간격, 사각, 상판 종횡비를 매개변수로 총 27개의 단순지지된 사교들에 대한 일련의 연구를 수행하였다. 이전 연구에서 제안된 바 있는 받침들간의 강성조정 개념을 이용하여 합성형 사교의 거동을 개선시킬 수 있는 가능성도 함께 검토하였다. 해석결과로부터 비합성 사교들보다 합성형 사교들에서 훨씬 바람직한 거동이 나타나며 받침들간의 강성조정 방법은 보다 합리적이며 경제적인 합성형 사교 및 하부구조의 설계를 가능하게 해준다.
