  • In this study, in order to increase the span length, the temporary bridge which the center part of span is strengthened by small H-beam and the end part of span is strengthened by steel plate is designed and constructed. Real behavior of proposed temporary bridge is analyzed by field loading test. Analyzed shear buckling strengths and nonlinear behavior of suggested temporary bridge are compared with the those of general temporary bridge. From the field loading test results, it is analyzed that real static behavior of suggested temporary bridge is agree with the analyzed behavior which is considered in design process. Under the proposed design condition, it is investigated that the shear buckling strength of suggested temporary bridge is about 40% higher than that of general temporary bridge, and the ultimate strength of suggested temporary bridge is about higher than that of general temporary bridge. From the study results, it is concluded that the proposed temporary bridge can be applied by the needs of field condition.

  • Cross-beam in the existing temporary bridge system is usually installed to prevent the lateral-torsional buckling of girders and to promote the construction efficiency. However, most of this cross-beams are connected to the girder web by bolts, and therefore, gravitational load resisting capacity of the cross-beams are negligibly small. In recent years, new temporary bridge system, in which the cross-beams and girders are connected to resist the external loads as a unit, was developed. In this paper, we present the experimental and analytical study results pertaining to the structural behavior and load carrying capacity of new temporary bridge system. From the results of study, it was found that the continuous cross-beam increased the flexural rigidity and reduced the maximum flexural stress in the girder. In addition, it was also found that the new temporary bridge system developed is more appropriate for the application in the long-span temporary bridge.

  • Installing the temporary bridge after excavating the railway requires installing movable cross beam, but as it doesn't requires isolating the catenary or cutting the rail, it's applicable to double-track with frequent operation. In this study, a displacement meter was placed on temporary bridge to monitor the displacement pattern in curve section (R400) completed using temporary bridge method, and wheel load, lateral pressure and derailment coefficient were measured to evaluate the load imposed on track and the stability in curve section (R400) for quantitative evaluation of training running safety. As a result of the measurement, when trains passing over a temporary bridge, the maximum value of Wheel load and Lateral Force is analyzed as the 51% and 81% of standard level according to foreign country's performance tests, There is no trouble with stability analysis in Wheel load and Lateral Force occurring. Additionally, Wheel load and Lateral Force considered as the safety standard are tested 49% of limiting value regardless of trains, which the norm value quite well, there is no problem with train running.

  • The bridge deck section composed of a concrete slab resting on two I-beam girders are known to be susceptible to flutter instability and vortex shedding. Moreover, the cable stayed bridge in construction is more vulnerable to wind rather than in service when the free cantilever construction method is applied. This paper describes the effect of the dynamic wind loads on the bridge during construction and the effect of alternative temporary stabilizing measures. Therefore, a series of wind tunnel tests and numerical analysis were carried out to determine if any countermeasures were required.

  • Concrete placement and temporary formwork of bridge deck overhangs result in unbalanced eccentric loads that cause exterior girders to rotate during construction. These construction loads affect the global and local stability of the girders and produce permanent girder rotation after construction. In addition to construction loads, the skew angle of the bridge also contributes to girder rotation. To prevent rotation (in both skewed and non-skewed bridges), a number of techniques have been suggested to temporarily brace the girders using transverse tie bars connecting the top flanges and embedded in the deck, temporary horizontal and diagonal steel pipes placed between the webs of the exterior and first interior girders, and permanent cross frames. This study includes a rigorous three-dimensional finite element analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of several bracing systems for non-skewed and several skewed bridges. In this paper, skew angles of $0^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, and $45^{\circ}$ were considered for single- and three-span bridges. The results showed that permanent cross frames worked well for all bridges, whereas temporary measures have limited application depending on the skew angle of the bridge.

  • Glass-fiber reinforced polyester (GFRP) composite material is a promising alternative to existing construction materials such as steel, concrete and wood due to light weight and high durability of GFRP composite material. If a temporary arch bridge is built by GFRP composite deck, rapid construction of the bridge and reuse of the GFRP composite deck are possible. In this paper, we develop a type of temporary arch bridges that can be built by easy assembling of GFRP composite decks. For this purpose, several possible types of temporary arch bridges are suggested and verified by finite element analysis.

  • Most rahmen-type temporary bridges are constructed with limited bridge length to prevent excessive horizontal forces due to the thermal expansion of main girder. To achieve a long length temporary bridge several independent bridges are required and they can not share the bents, at the rahmen-type ends, with the adjacent ones. The additional bents require more cost and reduce the section space under bridges. In order to remove extra bents with keeping the rahmen effect at the bridge ends, this study proposes a new rahmen-type movable joint system for temporary bridges.

  • Design of steel $bridge^{\circ}AEs$ temporary works has conducted relying on the experiences of engineers based on the previous similar projects. Consequently, there have been arguments against over-design of temporary bents to be required at the actual construction sites, and unnecessary design changes have been issued at the construction stage. In this study, we have developed an optimum design support system for temporary works of the steel bridge construction through establishing the database for the materials to be needed for implementation of temporary works. We've also improved the accuracy and efficiency of the works through the design optimization for temporary works, and contributed to reduce design changes as well as to utilize the design informations at the construction stage.

  • Young Jong Grand Bridge is approach traffic road of New Inchon International Airport which covers hub airport function in northeast asia. The total span length of this bridge is $4,420{\cal}m$ and this main bridge type is, the first in the world, Double Deck Self Anchored Suspension Bridge, designed as double deck systems to be arranged by road and railroad. Approach bridges to be connected with main span also are composed double deck steel truss and steel box girder to consider a continuity with this span. Our company erected $1,375{\cal}m$(about 60,000tons) of double deck steel truss bridge type which is composed by 6 traffic lane on upper deck and 4 traffic lane and Double track railroad on lower deck. The original installation method of this bridge was planed to install about 75 meters bridge blocks to use floating crane, after temporary bent was constructed between permanent piers. But this method which had to construct many temporary bents in the sea had the matter that construction periods can become lengthen and construction cost can be risen. To overcome the uncertainty to ensure high qualify of bridge and economic project execution, our company developed new bridge erection method to assure both quality control and economic construction work. The new erection method which was developed by us was one that could transport and install long bridge block, $120{\cal}m$ unit at a time and that temporary bent was not required. We hope that this paper is used as technical data which will erect bridge in the western sea and others marine region.
