In this study, an equivalent boundary conditions (BCs) determination method is developed numerically for a panel reinforced concrete (RC) slab to realistically analyze the deformation and fatigue behaviors of a bridge RC slab. For this purpose, a finite element analysis of a bridge RC slab is carried out beforehand to calculate the stiffness of the bridge RC slab, and then the equivalent BCs for the panel RC slab are determined to achieve the same stiffness at the BCs to the obtained stiffness of the bridge RC slab at the corresponding locations of the bridge RC slab. Moreover, for the simulation of fatigue behaviors, fatigue analysis of the panel RC slab is carried out employing a finite element method based on a numerical model that considers the bridging stress degradation. Both the determined equivalent BCs and the BCs that have been typically applied in past studies are employed. The analysis results confirm that, in contrast to the panel RC slab with typically used BCs, the panel RC slab with equivalent BCs simulate the same bending moment distribution and deformation behaviors of the bridge RC slab. Furthermore, the equivalent BCs reproduce the extensive grid crack pattern in the panel RC slab, which is alike the pattern normally witnessed in a bridge RC slab. Conclusively, the panel RC slab with equivalent BCs behaves identical to the bridge RC slab, and, as a result, it shows more realistic fatigue behaviors observed in the bridge RC slab.

Currently, RC slab bridges in use in Korea account for most of the total bridges, and bridges with a service life of 20 years or more account for about 75%. However, most of these RC slab bridges have a span of less than 20m and are not included in the first and second types of facilities, so maintenance is very neglected. Therefore, in this study, field load test is performed on an aged RC slab bridge, and the performance evaluation is performed based on the structural response results (deflection, impact coefficient, natural frequency, etc.) of the bridge obtained through field load test. In addition, the performance evaluation results obtained through the load test are intended to be used as basic data for the damage evaluation process of the bridge currently under development.

In this thesis, the crack investigation, the damage investigation, the drawing check, and the structural analysis were performed on a curved hollow RC(reinforced concrete) slab bridge structure to assess the structural safety of that. From the crack investigation result, main reason of crack occurrence is guessed with travelling of the large truck. Therefore reinforcement of slab structure is necessary by using the steel plate. When structural analysis, the straight beam model, the curved beam model, and the curved plate model is used. From the results of structural analysis for curved hollow RC slab bridge, the maximum bending moment and the maximum shear force was not a difference in each models. But the vertical displacement of mid span using the curved beam model was greater than that using the other models.

An experimental investigation on the flexural fatigue behavior of a RC bridge slab retrofitted with Carbon Fiber Sheet (CFS) is presented. The test slab was almost identical to the slab of a highway viaduct in terms of the amount of reinforcement, quality of concrete and thickness of the slab, which was 18cm. Repeated load corresponding to 3.0, 4.5 or 6.0 times of the design load was applied to the test slab. Normal type and high-elastic modulus type of CFS were used for strengthening. The test slabs were loaded in dry or wet condition. Two different types of an-choring system were adapted. Some of the test slabs were damaged by the repeated load and retrofitted by CFS, then loaded again to see the improvement of the fatigue life. Infrared Thermography was also performed to investigate the debonding condition of CFS. From the test results, Carbon Fiber Sheet can be applied to the RC bridge slabs as a feasible retrofitting material.

This study was performed to propose the minimum thickness of RC slab that satisfies constructibility, fatigue safety, and serviceability requirements such as deflection control. Three different minimum thicknesses are calculated using concrete shear and rebar fatigue formulas, and deflection control, respectively, and checked by constructiblity. The maximum of these three minimum thicknesses is proposed as the minimum thickness of RC slab, which shows that the minimum thickness requirement of RC slab from Korean Bridge Design Code can be thinner than now.

본 연구에서는 RC슬래브 교량의 내하력을 향상시키기 위해 유리섬유 복합재(CAF)를 이용한 보강방법을 제시하였다. 보강 성능을 평가하기 위해 설계하중 DB 18로 설계된 실험대상 교량의 슬래브 하면에 단위폭당 50 cm로 CAF 복합재를 보강하여 정 동적재하시험을 수행하였다. 정 동적재하시험 결과 RC슬래브의 최대변위, 변형률, 충격계수는 보강전에 비하여 보강후에 각 14.7%, 5.0% 및 33.7% 감소하였다. 시험경간 중앙부에서의 RC슬래브의 공칭저항비는 27% 증가하였고, 공용내하력은 1,2 경간에서 44.6%, 48.9%증가하였다. 결론적으로 설계하중 DB 18로 설계된 노후된 RC슬래브 교량을 현행 1등급교의 설계하중 DB 24로 향상시키는데 CAF 복합재를 이용한 보강방법은 매우 효과적인 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics and reinforcement effects of restored the RC bridge deck with small precast panel through static load tests and to provide the basic information for the damaged slab decks. In the tests for realizing movement of general RC bridge slabs, 6 samples are prepared and tested. All reinforced samples are restored with 1 or 2-layers precast panels by epoxy mortar. The movement of restored slabs is analyzed and compared with the behavior of non-restored slabs. In result of these tests, tension cracks due to bending moment are show, and after static load test there happens finally a punching shear failure, which is the general type of RC bridge failure. The tests show that restoration of the RC slab results in increasing of loading capacity about 30~50% an restoring panels are stick to slab and moving with slab under loading test.

모듈러 기술은 자동차, 플랜트, 조선산업 분야에서 이미 오래전부터 적용해 오던 기술로, 최근 교량 분야에도 적용되고 있다. 모듈러교량은 부재별 세부설계 과정이 생략되고, 모듈별로 표준화 된다는 점에서 기존의 조립식교량과는 차별화 된다. 거더형식 프리캐스트 모듈러교량은 단순지지 교량 형식으로 개발되었으며, 다경간 교량에 적용할 경우 단순지지 교량 형식의 모듈러교량을 연속화하는 방법으로 적용할 수 있다. 거더형식 프리캐스트 모듈러교량의 연속화는 시공이 간편하고 급속시공에 적합한 연결슬래브를 적용하는 방법으로 이루어진다. 연결슬래브는 1950년부터 미국에서 RC 형식으로 사용되기 시작하였으며, 2000년대에는 ECC를 적용한 연결슬래브(ECC 연결슬래브)가 개발된 바 있다. 이 연구에서는 ECC에 비해 재연성이 좋고 경제적인 RC를 적용한 연결슬래브를 다경간 거더형식 프리캐스트 모듈러교량에 적용하였으며, 기존의 RC 형식 연결슬래브를 보완한 형태의 연결슬래브와 수정된 연결슬래브의 설계방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 연결슬래브 설계방법의 검증을 위하여 연결슬래브 바닥판 실험체를 제작하고 연결슬래브의 휨성능 및 균열 사용성 검증실험을 수행하였으며, 이후 실제 교량시스템을 모사한 실험체를 이용하여 200만회 피로성능 검증실험을 수행하였다.

This study surveyed damage to small and medium-sized RC slab bridges, the largest in number in Korea. Four common types of damage were identified, and their static and dynamic structural behaviors were examined through structural analysis. The degree of damage was selected as an analysis parameter for three superstructures of RC slab bridges. After structural analysis, a damage assessment process was proposed that can be used as the basis for establishing maintenance yplans for these bridges. The results of the present study can be used for the safety management of RC slab bridges, classified as bridges suspected of safety flaws or requiring maintenance in load-carrying capacity tests.
