The paper presents a model for analysing the shear-lag effect on the slab of twin-girder composite decks subjected to static actions, support settlements and concrete shrinkage, which are the main actions of interest in composite bridge design. The proposed model includes concrete creep behaviour and shear connection flexibility. The shear-lag in the slab is accounted for by means of a new warping function. The considered actions are then applied to a realistic bridge deck and their effects are discussed. The proposed method is utilised to determine the slab effective widths for three different width-length ratios of the deck. Finally, a comparison between the results obtained with the Eurocode EC4-2 and those obtained with the proposed model is performed.

강 박스거더 교량의 연속지점부 바닥판은 상부플랜지와 합성되는 구조이며 장경간 교량에서는 지점부 바닥판에 인장균열이 발생할 수 있는 구조로서 내구성 저하 등의 문제가 발생하고 있다. 이는 장경간 적용시 고정하중 및 활하중의 영향으로 슬래브의 교축방향 인장응력이 설계인장강도를 초과하기 때문이다. 이에 지점부 슬래브에 교축방향 철근을 추가하여 인장균열을 제어하고 추가의 압축응력 도입이 필요하다. 이러한 문제점 해결을 위해 연속지점부 상부슬래브의 인장응력 구간에 PS강선 긴장으로 압축응력을 도입하는 강 박스거더교의 구조계를 제안하였고, 이에 따른 구조적 성능을 유한요소해석과 실물시험체의 강선긴장 실험을 통해서 비교 검증하였다. PS강선 긴장을 통해 부모멘트부에 발생하는 슬래브의 인장응력 및 균열을 제어할 수 있는 압축응력을 도입하면 기존 강 박스거더교에 비해 구조안전성 개선 및 내구성능을 강화할 수 있다.

Partially earth anchored (PEA) can improve the structural safety and economic feasibility of multiple span cable stayed bridge (CSB). The PEA-CSB can restrain axial compressive load acting on a tower and reduce the global buckling length of a stiffened girder. For these reasons, structural members subject to axial forces can be effectively utilized and material quantity required for a steel deck can be reduced to save construction cost. In this study, the PEA system was verified for its application on a multiple span CSB. The CSB is a four-tower multi-span bridge which has a main span length of 500 m. As high tensile stress was generated at the top of the bridge decks at the mid-span between two main columns, a hybrid deck system for enhancing the bridge deck sections was proposed. While the composite sections made of concrete and steel were used near to the main columns, steel sections were used at the mid-span between two main columns.

강바닥판 박스거더에서 바닥틀은 강바닥판, 종방향 리브 및 횡방향 리브로 구성된다. 본 연구 대상 교량은 약 40년 동안 공용되어온 교량으로 바닥틀을 구성하는 U리브의 연결부에서 피로균열이 발생하여 다이어프램 사이에 U리브를 지지하기 위한 횡방향 리브 플레이트와 종방향 프레임을 설치하여 보강하였으나 추가적인 균열이 발생하였다. 균열이 발생된 U리브에는 볼트 연결 강판접착에 의한 보강이 수행되었으나 일부 보강된 리브에서 균열 및 응력집중이 발생되어 보강방법을 맞대기용접에 의한 보강방법으로 변경하였다. 본 연구에서는 U리브의 응력 변화를 파악하기 위해 프레임 보강 전후 구조해석을 수행하였고, 상시교통하중에 의한 응력변화를 파악하기 위해 변동응력을 측정하여 보강방법에 따른 영향을 분석하였다.

본 연구에서는 연속거더교량에 적용되고 있는 가설공법을 이중합성 박스거더교에 적용하여 발생 단면력을 검토하고, 적용성 측면에서 개선사항을 도출하고자 하였다. 하부콘크리트의 타설높이 및 타설범위는 각각 이중합성단면에 대한 소성모멘트 및 부모멘트영역에 의하여 결정되었다. 검토 가설공법은 일반적인 가설조건을 고려하여 크레인 가설공법, 켄틸레버 가설공법, 압출가설공법 등을 대상으로 하였으며, 이중합성 박스거더 가설 전의 하부콘크리트 타설유무에 따라 두가지의 경우로 구분하여 각각 시공중에 발생하는 단면력을 검토하였다. 또한, 압출가설공법 적용시의 단면력 저감방안으로 압출노즈에 의한 가설방안을 검토하였으며, 가설거더에 대한 압출노즈의 길이비, 단위중량비, 휨강성비 등의 변화에 따른 단면력의 저감정도를 검토하였다. 압출노즈에 의한 가설공법은 이중합성 박스거더교량에도 유효하게 적용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Traffic flow capacity of some old road bridges is insufficient due to limited deck width. In such cases bridge deck widening is a common solution. For multi-girder reinforced concrete (RC) bridges it is possible to add steel-concrete composite girders as the new outermost girders. The deck widening may be combined with bridge strengthening thanks to thickening of the existing deck slab. Joint action of the existing and the added parts of such bridge span must be ensured. It refers especially to the horizontal plane at the interface of the existing slab and the added concrete layer as well as to the vertical planes at the external surfaces of the initially outermost girders where the added girders are connected to the existing bridge span. Since the distribution of the added concrete is non-uniform in the span cross-section the structure is particularly sensitive to the added concrete shrinkage. The shrinkage induces shear forces in the aforementioned planes. Widening of a 12 m long RC multi-girder bridge span is numerically analysed to assess the influence of the added concrete shrinkage. The analysis results show that: a) in the vertical plane of the connection of the added and the existing deck slab the longitudinal shear due to the shrinkage of the added concrete is comparable with the effect of live load, b) it is necessary to provide appropriate longitudinal reinforcement in the deck slab over the added girders due to tension induced by the shrinkage of the added concrete.

본 연구에서는 강박스거더교 바닥판의 아스팔트 두께에 따른 단면 상하 온도차를 산정하고, 이에 따른 설계기준의 자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 아스팔트 두께 0mm, 50mm, 100m, 150mm의 4개 강박스거더 모형시험체를 제작하였다. 각 모형에 17~23개의 온도 센서를 상부 콘크리트와 강박스거더에 부착하였다. 이 센서 중 Euro code와 온도차를 비교 할 수 있는 6개의 온도 게이지를 선정하였다. 각 모형의 기준 대기온도에서 최대 온도와 최저 온도를 계산하고, 이를 바탕으로 온도차(경사)를 산정하여, 4개 각 모형에서 온도차 모델을 제시하였다. 0mm ~ 100mm 온도차 모델은 슬래브 최상단에서 Euro code의 온도차와 비교할 때 -0.9~-1.5도 더 낮은 온도차를 보였다. 전체적으로 측정된 온도차는 Euro code와 비교하여 5.45%~8.33%정도의 오차가 있음을 확인하였다. 산정된 온도와 평균온도의 차를 표준오차의 배수로 산정한 표준오차 계수는 최상단과 최하 단에서 평균 2.50 ~ 2.51배의 값으로 일정한 범위에서 산정되었다. 제시된 온도차 모델은 국내 교량 온도설계 온도차 기준 산정 시 기본 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

An experimental study to evaluate a redundancy capacity in simple span two plate-girder bridges, which are generally classified as a non-redundant load path structure, has been performed under the condition that one of the two girders is seriously damaged. The bottom lateral bracing was selected as an experimental parameter and two 1/5-scale bridge specimens with and without bottom lateral bracing have been prepared. The loading tests were first performed on the intact specimens without cracked girder within elastic range. Thereafter, the ultimate loading tests were conducted on the damaged specimens with an induced crack at the center of a girder. The test results showed that the cross beams and concrete deck redistributed partly the applied load to the uncracked girder, but the lateral bracing system played a significant role of the load redistribution when a girder was damaged. The redundancy was evaluated based on the test results and an appropriate redundancy level was evaluated when the lateral bracing was provided in a seriously damaged simple span two-girder steel bridge.

In this paper, the effects of Tuned Mass dampers (TMDs) on the reduction of the vertical vibrations of a real horizontally curved steel box-girder bridge due to different traffic loads are numerically investigated. The performance of TMDs to reduce the bridge vibrations can be affected by the parameters such as dynamic characteristics of TMDs, the location of TMDs, the speed and weight of vehicles. In the first part of this study, the effects of mass ratio, damping percentage, frequency ratio, and location of TMDs on the performance of TMDs to decrease vertical vibrations of different sections of bridge deck are evaluated. In the second part, the performance of TMD is investigated for different speeds and weights of traffic loads. Results show that the mass ratio of TMDs is the more effective parameter in reducing imposed vertical vibration in comparison with the damping ratio. Furthermore, it is found that TMD is very sensitive to its tuned frequency, i.e., with a little deviation from a suitable frequency, the expected performance of TMD significantly decreased. TMDs have a positive and considerable performance at certain vehicle speeds and this performance declines when the weight of traffic loads is increased. Besides, the results reveal that the highest impact of TMD on the reduction of the vertical vibrations is when free vibrations occur for the bridge deck. In that case, maximum reductions of 24% and 59% are reported in the vertical acceleration of the bridge deck for the forced and free vibration amplitudes, respectively. The maximum reduction of 13% is also obtained for the maximum displacement of the bridge deck. The results are mainly related to the resonance condition.

Maglev is a system that a train runs levitated above a rail. Therefore it is very important to maintain a constant levitation gap for achieving serviceability and ride comfort. This study is a cooperation research subject of the 3-1 subject, performance improvement of maglev track structures, of the Center for Urban Maglev Program in Korea, started in 2006. The aim of this study is development of rapid constructions of bridge superstructure for maglev. At present, precast deck is widely used because of its superiority to cast-in-place concrete on quality and the term of works. The research group suggested basic systems of maglev guideway with PSC-U type and trapezoidal open steel box type girder, and precast deck, cooperating with Korea Railroad Research Institute, the managing institute of the 3-1 subject. In this study, longitudinally full-scale guideway girder system was fabricated and static/dynamic test of the girder was performed for the purpose of the performance evaluation.
