The finite strip method is presented for the analysis of steel deck bridges. Like the Pelikan-Esslinger design method for the steel deck bridges, steel deck is treated as an equivalent orthotropic plate. In the presented method, the deck is discretised by finite strips in the longitudinal direction and the effect of main girder or floor beam deflection can also be accounted for. In this method, the terms of harmonic series at elastically support such as transverse floor or diaphragm in steel deck become coupled. Solutions of this method are compared with other available analytical and numerical solution, and good agreement is observed.

This study evaluated the localized stress condition of the real corroded deck surface of an orthotropic steel bridge because severe corrosion damage on the deck surface and fatigue cracking were reported. Thus, a three-dimensional finite element (FE) analysis model was created based on measurements of the corroded orthotropic steel deck surface to examine the stress level dependence on the corrosion condition. Based on the FE analysis results, it could be confirmed that a high stress concentration and irregular stress distribution can develop on the deck surface. The stress level was also increased by approximately 1.3-1.5 times as a result of the irregular corroded surface. It was concluded that this stress concentration could increase the possibility of fatigue cracking in the deck surface because of the surface roughness of the orthotropic steel bridge deck.

The stiffness of pavement is scarcely considered in structural analysis of the superstructure bridge. It will be reasonable in the case of asphalt concrete pavement over concrete deck plate because stiffness of the pavement compared with concrete deck plate can be ignored. Additionally, it is considered correct to do a design with a safety. However, various pavement materials which have even value reaching to the elastic modulus of concrete are applied to the orthotropic steel deck plate which has a relatively less stiffness comparing with the concrete deck plate. In this paper, the steel plate deck of the bridge of real project was modeled considering the pavement stiffness for the FEM analysis and the linear elastic analysis was performed. It was assumed to be perfectly bonded between the steel plate deck and the pavement and the temperature effect was ignored. It was analyzed on the vertical deflection of steel deck plate influencing to the serviceability of pavement and the bending stress of steel deck plate related to the fatigue life. As a result, It was indicated that the structural behavior of the orthotropic steel deck plate could be affected by the stiffness of pavement in some cases.

교량은 계속적으로 변하는 하중 환경에 의해서 다른 구조물에 비해 비교적 빨리 노후화 되기 때문에 초기비용 이외에도 교량의 유지관리, 교통의 원활한 소통 또는 적체 등에 따른 비용, 교량의 손상에 따른 보수보강 및 교량의 해체 재건설 등 추가적인 비용의 영향이 크므로 공용간 생애주기 비용(LCC)을 설계단계에서부터 체계적이고 합리적으로 고려되어야 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 강상판교의 설계에 있어서 주형의 휨 전단, 사용성, 피로에 대한 보강기대비용 등을 포함하는 LCC에 근거한 비용함수모형을 이용하여 이를 최적설계에 적용하고 기존의 설계방법과 비교 분석하였다. 적용예제의 결과에 나타난 바와 같이 LCC를 고려한 강상판 교량의 최적설계는 더욱 합리적이고, 경제적이며, 안전한 설계를 유동할 수 있으리라 판단된다.

The pavement stiffness is scarcely used in structural analysis to design the superstructure of bridge. It is reasonable not to consider it in the case of asphalt concrete pavement over concrete deck because the pavement stiffness compared with the concrete deck plate can be ignored. However, sometimes, the pavement materials have a similar amount of elastic modulus to concrete and are applied to the orthotropic steel deck plate which has relatively less stiffness compared with the concrete deck plate. In this paper, the steel plate deck of a real bridge project was analyzed by considering the pavement stiffness by linear elastic FEM. It was assumed that a perfect bond between the steel plate deck and the pavement exited. The results indicated that the structural behavior of the orthotropic steel deck plate can be estimated enough to affect the evaluation result of structural capacity in some cases. Therefore, the investigations by experimental tests and more advanced numerical model are indispensible in figuring the design formula for considering the effects of pavement stiffness in the structural analysis of an orthotropic bridge.

Recent, more and more steel deck bridges are adopted for the design of long span bridges and the upgrading of existing concrete deck bridges, mainly because of reduced self weight, higher stiffness and efficient erection compared to concrete decks. The main objective of this study is to propose on formulation of the design optimizations to develop an optimal desist program required for optimum desist for orthotropic steel-deck bridges. The objective function of the optimization is formulated as a minimum initial cost design problem. The behavior and design constraints are formulated based on the ASD and LRFD criteria of the Korean Bridge Design Code(1996). The optimum design program developed in this study consists of two steps. In the first step the system optimization of the steel box girder bridges is carried out. And in the second step the program provided the optimum design of the orthotropic steel-deck with close ribs. In the optimal design program the analysis module for the deck optimization is based on the Pelican Esslinger method. The optimizer module of the program utilizes the ADS(Automated Desist Synthesis) routines using the optimization techniques fuor constrained optimization. From the results of real application examples, The cost effectiveness of optimum orthotropic steel-deck bridges designs based on both ASD and LRFD methods is investigated by comparing the results with those of conventional designs, and it may be concluded that the design developed in this study seems efficient and robust for the optimization of orthotropic steel-deck bridges

This paper presents a experimental structural performance of steel-concrete hybrid bridge deck, which has studs to connect steel plate and concrete and T beam to improve structural performance, by steel plate shape, studs and load location. It proved that steel-concrete hybrid deck has a high structural performance and lightweight due to the efficient use of steel plate as a structural member, which has only used as formwork. In failure mode, few specimen failed at punching shear and many specimen at concrete crushing, therefore proved it has sufficient stability to punching shear which is the most frequent damage of bridge deck. Steel-concrete hybrid deck of plane steel plate has a high structural performance, and that of corrugated steel plate has a high reduction of weight.

An orthotropic steel deck system is widely adapted form for a long-span bridge. It has many advantages, such as the big reduction of dead weight, the simplicity for erection, and the reduction of the construction period. However, an orthotropic steel deck system requires a lot of welding work, which may result in defects and deformation of connection. Therefore, the research for the general behavior and fatigue strength of the several details in orthotropic steel deck bridge is necessary. The fatigue failure with distortion results from secondary stress by out-of-plane deformation; these kinds of cracks are very difficult to measure, and can not be precisely calculated through finite element analysis. This stress concentration phenomenon generates the fatigue failure around the lower scallop of the transverse rib. This paper presents improved details of the intersection between the longitudinal rib and the transverse rib of an orthotropic steel deck bridge by the third dimensional hit size test, and the finite element method, which can minimize local stress through parametric study.

강재의 품질향상으로 강교에 있어서 재료자체의 파괴보다는 반복하중에 의한 피로균열 문제가 더욱 중요한 요소가 되었다. 재료의 항복으로 인한 교량의 붕괴 등의 사례는 거의 보고되고 있지 않지만 용접부에 발생하는 피로균열에 대한 사례는 매우 많이 보고되고 있다. 종리브와 횡리브, 데크 플레이트로 구성된 직교이방성 강바닥판의 피로응력은 강바닥판을 구성하는 요소들의 구성 형태 및 물성과 밀접한 관련이 있다. 본 논문에서는 Pelikan-Esslinger method와 signed Von-Mises 등가응력 개념을 활용하여 직교이방성 강바닥판의 피로응력을 산정하는 방법을 제시하고, 직교이방성 강바닥판 구성요소들의 구성형태와 물성을 변화시켜 피로응력에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 직교이방성 강바닥판의 피로응력과 구성요소의 상관관계 경향을 분석함으로써 설계 및 유지보수 시에 더 효율적인 대안을 찾는데 도움이 될 수 있을 것이다.

In orthotropic steel decks, it is likely to have defects due to fatigue damages because most of structural joints(the connection of longitudinal rib and transverse rib, the connection of deck plate and longitudinal rib) are connected by welds. However. orthotropic steel decks have many advantages. such as light weight and reduction of construction time. in comparison with concrete decks. Therefore. they are mostly used in long-span bridges and urban highway bridges. This study consists of the cause identication of fatigue damage and the suggestion of rational thickness on deck plate about the connection of deck plate and longitudinal rib. The results are as follows: fatigue damage cause at the connection of deck plate and longitudinal rib is local deformation in deck plate. And, rational thickness of deck plate is 16mm thickness.
