An improved finite element modeling technique is proposed for the assessment of load carrying capacity of partially prestressed concrete girder bridges. Based on the finite element method of analysis, shell and frame elements are used to model the slab and girders of the superstructure, respectively. In the modeling of superstructure, the emphasis is placed on the use of rigid link between the middle surface of slab an mid-plane of girder. This paper also includes the comparision of three different equations that are used in the calculation of effective moment of inertia for the partially prestressed concrete girders. Numerical analysis is performed for the unstrengthened and strengthened bridges. The obtained results are compared with those of load test for a prototype bridge. A good agreement is achieved between the numerical solutions by using the proposed method load test results.

Recently, the prestressed concrete box girder bridges are increasingly built at various locations in the world. The mechanical and structural behavior of prestressed concrete brides varies because of time-dependent material properties and sequential change of structural system due to stepwise construction. The time-dependent behavior of concrete is of importance in the design and construction of segmentally constructed and cast-in-place prestressed concrete box girder bridges. The structural response is affected b variations in creep, shrinkage properties of concrete. In this study, the example of time-dependent deformations is extended to establish how the variability in concrete properties affects the accuracy of the calculated deformations in such a bridge, and finally the results are discussed.

The use of high strength concrete in the fabrication and construction of prestressed concrete beam bridges can result in the increase of girder spacings for standard shapes, as well as the increase of span lengths. The increase of girder spacings corresponds to the reduction of the required number of girders. This study shows that the use of high strength concrete make prestressed concrete beam bridges the economical alternative to any other bridge types. Also, this study has the purpose of giving aids to design of prestressed concrete beam. To achieve this purpose this study provides the plots resulting from research on relationships between the concrete strength of prestressed concrete beam, girder spacing and the number of strands in various span lengths.

The Steel-Confined Prestressed Concrete Girder(SCP Girder) has been developed, which maximizes structural advantages of components (concrete, steel plate and tendon) and can be used to construct the middle or long span bridge with low-height girder. And recently, a continuous beam type of SCP Girder has been being developed to decrease size and self weight of girder in comparison with a simply-supported type. In this study, as part of developing the continuous beam type of SCP Girder, a new type of anchorage zone is proposed in order to address tendons effectively and decrease section size of SCP Girder efficiently. And also, the experimental test was carried out using a real scale specimen to examine the behavior of proposed anchorage zone.

There has been a strong demand on more economic and lower depth girder bridges for short and medium span range, PRECOM, which is a new type steel-concrete composite girder, has been developed to realize a more economic bridge system with a lower depth girder. In the PRECOM girder bridge, a steel plate girder is simply supported and then concrete form is hung to girder. Thus, the self-weight of the concrete is loaded to the steel girder. To increase the resistance of concrete in the lower casing against tensile stress, compressive force is introduced by prestressed tendon To evaluate the manufacturability and performances of the completed bridge, four 15-m girders and a bridge specimen with two 20m girders wvere constructed. The camber during the construction and introduction of an appropriate compressive force was evaluated. Dynamic data were obtained through the modal testing of the completed girders. Static loading test was also conducted to examine cracks and evaluate the decrease in stiffness and failure behavior under extreme conditions.

Recently, a large number of box girder bridges with cantilevered decks have been constructed. Especially, segmentally erected prestressed concrete box girder bridges are widely used as economic and aesthetic solutions for long span bridges. Segmental erection is a particularly attractive construction alternative in cases where continuously supported formwork is impractical or uneconomical. In segmentally erected bridges, the structural systems are changed as the construction stages are progressive and redistribution of member forces occurs due to time dependent effects of concrete and relaxation of prestressing steel. Then, in segmentally erected bridges, analysis are required at each construction states. In this study, nonlinear analysis progam of the segmentally erected prestressed concrete box girder bridges is developed in taking into account nonlinearity of material and geometry, time dependent effect of concrete and relaxation of prestressing steel.

The purpose of this study is to examine the accuracy of the code provisions on lateral load distribution factors of prestressed concrete girder bridges. Most designers in Korea use the lever method or lateral load distribution formula in the existing design codes. However, the methods do not account for the effect of bridge skew or direction of diaphragm. Therefore, this study analysed the prestressed concrete girder bridge with grillage model for various girder spacings, directions of diaphragms, span lengths, and skews, and compared the results with those of existing design code. It has been found that lateral load distribution factors were proportional to the girder spacing while they were not significantly affected by the change of span length, direction of diaphragm, and skew. For bending moments, lateral load distribution factors from the grillage analysis were 60%~68% of those from Korean bridge design code. Therefore, the code provisions result in very conservative design. For support reactions, however, lateral load distribution factors from the grillage analysis were slightly greater than those from Korean bridge design code. Therefore, the capacity of bearings of the bridge with a large skew should be determined by grillage analysis.

The analysis and design of composite girders prestressed by external tendons involve difficulties related to the position of anchorages and the construction sequences. In this paper, the efficiency of the external tendon profiles and the position of anchorages in examined for the internal and external prestressing of statically indeterminate structures. It is shown that strengthening of a prestressed girder can be accomplished using a variety of methods; bonded external prestressing, tendon replacement and unbonded external prestressing.

The vibration response of the bridges under the moving vehicular load is of importance for engineers to estimate the serviceability of existing bridges and to design new bridges. This paper deals with the three dimensional vibration analysis of prestressed concrete bridges under moving vehicles. The prestressed bridges are modeled by four-node isoparametric flat shell elements with the transverse shearing deformation taken into account. The usual five degrees-of-freedom (DOFs) per node of the element are appended with a drilling DOF to accommodate the transformation of the local stiffness and mass matrices to the global coordinates. The vehicle is modeled as a single or two-DOF system. A single-span prestressed Tee beam and two-span prestressed box-girder bridge are studied as the two numerical examples. The effects of prestress forces on the natural frequencies and dynamic responses of the bridges are investigated.

최근 건설되는 교량은 철근 콘크리트 대신에 주로 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 교량이 주종을 이루고 있다. 프리스트레스 콘크리트 (PSC)는 철근 콘크리트 (RC)가 지니는 균열발생 문제, 철근의 부식, 누수 등 내구성에 미치는 약점을 보완할 수 있다. 또한 프리스트레싱으로 인한 인장영역의 보완으로 인하여 구조물의 크기를 줄일 수 있다. 하지만 이러한 구조용 주재료인 고강도 콘크리트의 경우는 밀도가 강도에 비하여 상대적으로 크기 때문에 상대적으로 자중을 증대시키는 문제가 있다. 따라서 자중을 감소시킬 수 있는 경량골재를 활용한 중공형 PPC 거더 (Hollowed Prefabricated Prestressed Concrete girder systems using Light Aggregate, 이하 HPPCLA)는 이러한 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 대안이 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 HPPCLA 거더의 성능시험 뿐 만 아니라 수치해석을 수행하였으며, 그 결과 HPPCLA 거더는 전형적인 휨파괴 형상을 나타내었다. 수치해석에서 예상한 바와 같이 PPC 거더의 사용하중인 110 kN에서는 완전한 탄성거동으로 구조물의 사용성에는 무리가 없을 것으로 판단된다.
