Free Cantilever Method(FCM) is one of the most effective construction methods when precast prestressed concrete box girders are erected in the construction site. The special feature of FCM is that precast segments are erected in cantilever on the pier and connected in the middle of span to form the complete superstructure. Therefore each structural subsystem will be shown in each construction step and it should be analyzed for design whenever the segment is erected. In this study, the computer program was developed to optimally design the P.C box girder bridge considering tile construction sequence and verified by comparing the calculated results with the data of existing P.C box girder bridges. the sensitivity analysis was performed to show the efficiency of the developed program.

In this paper, structural characteristics for an extradosed prestressed concrete box girder bridge are investigated in terms of selective parameters. These parameters are mainly associated with the structural details of the extradosed bridge and derived from currently available literatures regarding previous design drawings. The analyses have been carried out using general-purpose structural analysis program, RM-Space Frame. The parameters evaluated for the present study represent the most salient features of the extradosed bridge and are as follows; 1) span length ratio(side-span length to center-span length), 2) boundary condition of girder, 3) height of pylon, 4) anchorage location of external cables and 5) girder stiffness. The analytical predictions indicate that span length ratio and pylon height are reasonably adequate in the range of 0.55 to 0.60 and $L_m/8$ to $L_m/12$ respectively for the bridge under consideration. Also, demonstrated is the boundary condition of girder, in which rigid-connection details give more efficiency than the continuous details. In addition, considering structural characteristics of the extradosed bridge, it is desirable that the girder stiffness should be determined by the stress range of external cables rather than bending moment of girder.

The use of prestressed concrete box girder bridges built by segmentally balanced cantilevers has bloomed in the last decades due to its significant structural and construction advantages in complex topographies. In Colombia, this typology is the most common solution for structures with spans ranging of 80-200 m. Despite its popularity, excessive deflections in bridges worldwide evidenced that time-dependent effects were underestimated. This problem has led to the constant updating of the creep and shrinkage models in international code standards. Differences observed between design processes of box girder bridges of the Colombian code and Eurocode, led to the need for a validation of in-service status of these structures. This study analyzes the long-term behavior of the Tablazo bridge with data scarcity. The measured leveling of this structure is compared with a finite-element model that consider the most widely used creep and shrinkage models in the literature. Finally, an adjusted model evidence excessive deflection on the bridge after six years. Monitoring of this bridge typology in Colombia and updating of the current design code is recommended.

Anchorage zone in prestressed concrete cable stayed bridges is very important area due to the more accurate analysis is needed to estimate the behavior. In the study, since the cable anchorage zone in the prestressed concrete cable-stayed bridge is subject to a large amount of concentrated tendon forces, it shows very complicated stress distributions and causes a serious local cracks. Accordingly, It is necessary to investigate the parameters of affecting the stress properties, such as the cable inclination, the position of anchor plate, the modeling method and the three dimensional effect. The tensile stress distribution of anchorage zone is compared to the actual design condition by varing the stiffness of spring element in the local modeling and an appropriate position of anchor plate is determined. These results would be elementary data to the stress state of anchorage zone and more efficient design.

본 논문에서는 폴리머 콘크리트 박막 교면포장의 적용성을 알아보기 위한 하나의 방법으로 SMA(Stone Mastic Asphalt) 교면포장으로 시공된 실제 교량 및 이와 동일한 조건에서 교면포장을 박막의 폴리머 콘크리트로 대체한 가상의 교량에 대해 정적 해석을 실시하였다. 다양한 교량형식에 대한 평가를 위하여 SMA 교면포장으로 시공된 PSC(Prestressed Concrete) 거더교, 강박스 거더교, PSC 박스 거더교, RC(Reinforced Concrete) 라멘교를 해석하고 비교하였다. 바닥판과 교면포장은 완전히 접착된 것으로 가정하였으며 시공 중 발생한 응력과 처짐은 무시하고 교면포장의 자중과 차량하중으로 인하여 발생된 응력과 처짐을 분석하였다. 해석 결과, 가벼운 단위중량과 얇은 두께로 포장자중이 더 작았던 폴리머 콘크리트를 사용한 교량의 응력과 처짐은 SMA를 사용한 교량보다 작은 것으로 해석되었다. 차량하중으로 인해 폴리머 콘크리트를 사용한 교량에 발생한 응력과 처짐은 얇은 포장 두께로 인한 단면이차모멘트의 감소 때문에 SMA를 사용한 교량보다 크게 나타났다. 포장의 자중과 차량하중이 동시에 작용하는 경우에는 자중 감소효과가 지배적으로 작용하여 폴리머 콘크리트를 사용한 교량의 응력과 처짐이 더 작게 나타났다. 향후 교면포장의 공용성 조사와 경제성 분석을 통한 비교 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

Recently, advanced transit systems are being constructed to reduce traffic congestions in metropolitan areas. For these projects, curved bridges with various curvatures are required. Many curved bridges in the past were constructed using aesthetically unpleasant straight beams with curved slabs or expensive curved steel box girders with curved slabs. Therefore, many recent studies have been performed to develop less expensive and very safe precast prestressed concrete (PSC) curved girder. One method of reducing the construction cost of a PSC curved girder is to use a reusable formwork that can easily be adjusted to change the curvature and length of a girder. A reusable and curvature/dimension adjustable formwork called Multi-tasking formwork is developed for constructing efficient precast PSC curved girders. With the Multi-tasking formwork, two 40 m precast PSC box girders with different curvatures were constructed to build a two-girder curved bridge for a static flexural test to evaluate its safety and serviceability performance. The static flexural test results showed that the initial cracking load was 1400 kN, exceeding the design cracking load of 450 kN. Also, the code allowed deflection of 50 mm occurred at a load of 1800 kN, verifying the safety and serviceability of the precast PSC curved bridge constructed using the multi-tasking formwork.

These should be constructed partially, because many prestressed concrete box girder bridges in situ have large cross section and long span. Therefore, accurate prediction of differences, both elapse time of each construction stage and exposure of atmosphere at each position of cross section, is very important. Though it is importance, engineers are apt to overlook it. This study predicted cracks due to shrinkage and stress concentration phenomenon by each construction stage and then, ascertained reduction of tensile stresses after applying retrofit scheme.

To properly extract the strain components under varying operational conditions is very important in bridge health monitoring. The abnormal sensor readings can be correctly identified and the expected operational performance of the bridge can be better understood if each strain components can be accurately quantified. In this study, strain components under varying load conditions, i.e., temperature variation and live-load variation are evaluated based on field strain measurements collected from a real concrete box-girder bridge. Temperature-induced strain is mainly regarded as the trend variation along with the ambient temperature, thus a smoothing technique based on the wavelet packet decomposition method is proposed to estimate the temperature-induced strain. However, how to effectively extract the vehicle-induced strain is always troublesome because conventional threshold setting-based methods cease to function: if the threshold is set too large, the minor response will be ignored, and if too small, noise will be introduced. Therefore, an autoencoder framework is proposed to evaluate the vehicle-induced strain. After the elimination of temperature and vehicle-induced strain, the left of which, defined as the model error, is used to assess the operational performance of the bridge. As empirical techniques fail to detect the degraded state of the structure, a clustering technique based on Gaussian Mixture Model is employed to identify the damage occurrence and the validity is verified in a simulation study.
