Steel box girders have two webs and two flanges on top that are usually connected with shear connectors to the concrete deck and are also known as tub girders. The end diaphragms of such bridges comprise of a stiffened steel plate welded to the inside of the girder at each end. The diaphragms play a major role in transferring vertical and lateral loads to the bearings and substructure. A review of literature shows that the cyclic behavior of diaphragms under earthquake loading has not been studied previously. This paper uses a nonlinear finite element model to study the behavior of the end diaphragms under gravity and seismic loads. Different bearing device and stiffener configurations have been considered. Affected areas of the diaphragm are distinguished.

Generally, diaphragms are installed in the box girder to prevent or decrease the distortion of the cross section. In engineering practice, diaphragms are spaced in 5m intervals without reasonable basis. the usual diaphragm type is solid-plate type. It is considered to be noneconomical design to the almost design engineers. In this paper, the parametric study was performed to present the design proposal about the diaphragm stiffness and spacing only in the single cell box girder. For that, the distortional warping normal stress, bending normal stress and transverse bending normal stress were analyzed using finite element program 'SMB' for the accurate structural analysis.

The ㄱ type perfobond rib shear connector is a ㄱ type flat steel plate with a number of holes punched through. This connector can be effectively used in girder with high shear. The ㄱ type perfobond rib shear connector exhibit very stiff behaviour under service load conditions and also had the characteristic of retaining a significant amount of load after the attainment of ultimate capacity. The ㄱ type perfobond rib shear connector with safety factor of 3 is applied shear connector of CFT composite girder. From static test result of CFT composite girder, relative displacement of 0.01mm measured at the service load moment. At design of the ㄱ type perfobond rib shear connector, applying safety factor of 3 was more conservative than test result.

The needs for strengthening and rehabilitation of the concrete bridges are a growing concern in many countries and has been emphasized in various researches and papers. Traditional external post-tensioning method using either steel bars or tendons is commonly used as a strengthening method. However, the method has some disadvantages such as stress concentration at the anchorages. Multi-stepwise thermal prestressing method is a newly proposed method for strengthening and rehabilitation of concrete girder bridges. Founded on a simple concept of thermal expansion and contraction of steel, the method is a hybrid method of external post-tensioning and steel plate bonding, combining the merits of two methods. In this paper, basic concepts on strengthening and rehabilitation of concrete girder are presented and an illustrative experiment is introduced.

Life cycle cost is one of important factors in the evaluation of economy feasibility. Load carrying capacity curves for girders and decks are derived on the basis of bridge diagnostic results and condition grade curves to determine the service life and life cycle profile. The total life cycle costs including initial cost, damage cost, maintenance cost, user cost, and etc for the service life are calculated for steel box girder, PSC-I girder and rationalized plate girder. The optimal designs are performed for various service lifes and different superstructure types. The effects of parameters on the life cycle cost are investigated and the economy feasibility is evaluated through the sensitivity analysis.

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.

Ultra high performance concrete(UHPC) has an excellent strength, toughness, and durability. It seems that it is very efficiently applicable for various structures such as bridge, building. When it is used to bridge girder, It is possible to reduce the amount of concrete and steel, to cut down costs for construction. This paper estimated whether it was applicable and how it was efficient. It was confirmed that the height of girder could be reduced by 40% or more in using UHPC. We can also think that the stirrups can be removed considering the ductile tensile behavior of UHPC and that its very high compressive strength make the anchor plate smaller from this study.

도로의 부속시설인 교량은 시공과정에서 콘크리트 및 강재와 같이 환경영향이 큰 자원을 다량 소비하며 이로 인해 큰 환경적 부담을 발생시킨다. 교량의 시공으로 인해 발생하는 환경영향을 줄이기 위해서는 초기 설계단계에서 합리적인 자료를 토대로 환경영향에 대한 검토가 수행되어야 한다. 이 연구는 초기 설계단계의 교량형식 선정과정에서 LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) 기반의 환경영향평가가 가능한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 기 시공된 4가지 형식(일반 PSC거더, IPC거더, e-Beam, DR거더)의 PSC교량에 대한 설계자료를 수집하고 LCA를 수행하여 환경부하 원단위값과 영향요인을 분석하였다. 분석결과 IPC거더의 환경영향이 가장 작게 나타났고, e-Beam의 환경영향은 IPC거더 보다 133.7% 크게 평가되었다. 또한 콘크리트, 철근, PC강연선, 각재, 쉬즈관, 강판이 PSC거더 전체 환경영향의 약 98.5%를 발생시키는 주요인자로 도출되었다.

본 논문에서는 아치 형상을 갖는 강재 거더에 콘크리트가 충진되고 외부에 긴장력을 도입하여 구조적 효율성을 높인 CFTA 거더(Concrete-Filled and Tied Steel Tubular Arch Girder)의 아치효과와 구조적 성능을 검증하기 위해 정적하중재하실험을 수행하였고, 실험결과의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. CFTA 거더는 강재, 콘크리트, PS강재 등을 이용하여 각 재료의 역학적 장점을 최대한 발휘하도록 형상화하였다. 본 연구에서는 프레임해석프로그램으로 지간장 12m인 축소모형을 설계하였으며, 해석결과에 근거하여 정적재하실험이 수행되었다. 정적재하실험 결과, CFTA 거더의 구조적 성능과 안전성이 검증되었으며, 아치 효과에 의해 타 구조형식과는 다른 처짐 형상이 나타났다. 또한 ABAQUS 프로그램을 이용한 유한요소해석을 통해 차량 충돌 안정성과 정적재하실험결과의 타당성을 입증하였다.
