Concrete filled rectangular steel tubular (CFRST) composite truss girder is composed of the CFRST truss and concrete slab. The failure mechanism of the girder was different under bending and shear failure modes. The bending and shear strength of the girder were investigated experimentally. The influences of composite effect and shear to span ratio on failure modes of the girder was studied. Results indicated that the top chord and the joint of the truss were strengthened by the composited effect. The failure modes of the specimens were changed from the joint on top chord to the bottom chord. However, the composite effect had limited effect on the failure modes of the girder with small shear to span ratio. The concrete slab and top chord can be regarded as the composite top chord. In this case, the axial force distribution of the girder was close to the pin-jointed truss model. An approach of strength prediction was proposed which can take the composite effect and shear to span ratio into account. The approach gave accurate predictions on the strength of CFRST composite truss girder under different bending and shear failure modes.

To achieve a rational detail of the girder-abutment joints in composite integral bridges, and validate the performance of the joints with perfobond connectors, this paper proposes two innovative types of I-shaped steel girder-concrete abutment joints with perfobond connectors intended for the most of bearing capacity and the convenience of concrete pouring. The major difference between the two joints is the presence of the top flange inside the abutments. Two scaled models were investigated with tests and finite element method, and the damage mechanism was revealed. Results show that the joints meet design requirements no matter the top flange exists or not. Compared to the joint without top flange, the initial stiffness of the one with top flange is higher by 7%, and the strength is higher by 50%. The moment decreases linearly in both types of the joints. At design loads, perfobond connectors take about 70% and 50% of the external moment with and without top flange respectively, while at ultimate loads, perfobond connectors take 53% and 26% of the external moment respectively. The ultimate strengths of the reduced sections are suggested to be taken as the bending strengths of the joints.

PSCB 거더교는 상하부 플랜지와 복부가 일체화된 폐합된 단면으로 일반적으로 거더와 바닥판이 분리된 교량과 구조적 특성이 상이하여 PSCB 거더교의 특성을 반영한 유지관리 방안이 필요하다. 고속도로 PSCB 거더교의 정밀안전진단 보고서를 수집하여 손상 유형을 분석한 결과, 공용 중 발생되는 열화·손상은 대부분 상부플랜지에 집중되어 있다. 특히 상부플랜지 하면의 교축방향 균열은 분석대상 PSCB 거더교의 약 70 %에서 발생되었고, 이는 외부하중에 의한 구조적 균열 보다 수화열, 건조수축 등 간접하중에 의한 균열로 판단된다. 공용중인 PSCB 거더교의 내구성 향상 및 유지관리 비용 절감 등을 위해서는 설계단계부터 구속 건조수축 균열의 제어가 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 PSCB 거더교 상부플랜지 하면 균열의 주요 원인인 구속 상태에서의 건조수축으로 인하여 발생되는 균열에 대하여 Gilbert Model을 이용하여 직접 계산하고, 철근량, 철근직경 및 간격 등 영향인자를 분석하였다. 분석결과, 간접하중으로 인하여 발생되는 균열폭은 H16 철근 기준 철근비 0.01 이하, 철근비 0.01 기준 H19보다 직경이 큰 철근의 경우 허용 균열폭 0.2 mm를 초과하는 것으로 나타났으며, 최종적으로 균열폭 검토 결과를 바탕으로 PSCB 거더교 상부플랜지의 균열폭 제어 방안을 제안하였다.

The chloride attack of the top mat of reinforcing bars is a major cause of deterioration of comcrete deck of plate girder bridges. This is caused by a current design method which requires a top mat of reinforcing bars to resist a negative bending moment in bridge decks. In recently, empirical evidence has indicated that the top transverse reinforcing bars can patially or fully be eliminated without jeopardizing the structural integrity of a deck. So, one of the most efficient way to increase durability of concrete deck of bridges is the development of new design method that reduce or eliminate the top mat reinforcing bars, mad it is possible by the exact analysis that considering the negative bending moment reducing effect which introduced by relative deflection of plate girders. In this study, we develop the new bridge deck analysis method that considered the effect of relative girder deflection by applying the principles of slope deflection method of frames, and that is fine tuned with results of finite element analysis. This new approach evaluate a bending moment in a deck based on the effect of relative girder deflection as well as the magnitude of wheel loads, the girder spacing and stiffness, deck stiffness and the span length

Excessively elevated temperature can lead to cracks in prestressed concrete (PC) continuous bridge with box girder on the pier top at cement hydration age. This paper presents a case study for evaluating the behavior of PC box girder during the early hydration age using a two-stage computational model, in the form of computer program ANSYS, namely, 3-D temperature evaluation and determination of mechanical response in PC box girders. A numerical model considering time-dependent wind speed and ambient temperature in ANSYS for tracing the thermal and mechanical response of box girder is developed. The predicted results were compared to show good agreement with the measured data from the PC box girder of the Zhaoshi Bridge in China. Then, based on the validated numerical model three parameters were incorporated to analyze the evolution of the temperature and stress within box girder caused by cement hydration heat. The results of case study indicate that the wind speed can change the degradation history of temperature and stress and reduce peak value of them. The initial casting temperature of concrete is the most significant parameter which controls cracking of PC box girder on pier top at cement hydration age. Increasing the curing temperature is detrimental to prevent cracking.

PSCB 거더교는 고속도로에서 공용중인 교량의 4%로 많은 비중을 차지하고 있지는 않지만, PSCB 거더교의 약 98%가 1·2종 교량이며 전체 교량 연장의 약 16%(192km)를 차지하는 만큼 유지관리가 매우 중요한 교량 형식 중 하나이다. PSCB 거더교의 손상유형을 분석하기 위해 고속도로 공용중 교량의 가설공법, 제설환경 노출등급 비율을 고려한 62개소(477경간) 정밀안전진단 보고서를 선정하여 상세 분석을 수행함과 동시에 실제 열화·손상이 발생한 교량의 현장조사를 수행하였으며, 그 결과 대부분의 열화·손상 원인은 교면포장으로 유입된 우수(염수)가 상부플랜지와 계면 사이에 체수되어 콘크리트가 열화되고, 이후 교면포장의 균열 및 파손, 철근의 부식·팽창으로 인한 콘크리트 박락 등으로 진전되어 나타난 것으로 조사되었다. 또한, 상부플랜지 하면에 발생한 교축방향 균열 원인은 수화열, 건조수축 등으로 인한 균열로 판단된다. 결론적으로 PSCB 거더교의 특성을 고려한 합리적인 유지관리를 위해서는 시공초기 발생되는 상부플랜지 하면 교축방향 균열 제어를 위한 설계측면의 개선 방안이 제시되어야 할 것이며, 공용중 발생되는 열화는 상부플랜지 열화 이전 교면포장의 유지관리를 통한 선제적 대응과 제설환경 노출등급에 따른 차별화된 유지관리 방안이 제시되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

In Top-Down construction for underground structures, the placement of slab as a horizontal supporting member against lateral earth pressure is an important process in determining construction time and cost. Usually, a reinforced concrete perimeter girder distributes concentrated lateral loads from earth retaining structures such as Cast-in-place (CIP) piles. By combining the function of the R/C perimeter girder and horizontal slabs, the Opened Slab Method is efficient for reducing construction time by elimination of time-consuming formwork for traditional perimeter girders. The structural performance of the method is also discussed in this paper.

This paper proposes a modified bar simulation method for analyzing the shear lag effect of variable sectional box girder with multiple cells. This theoretical method formulates the equivalent area of stiffening bars and the allocation proportion of shear flows in webs, and re-derives the governing differential equations of bar simulation method. The feasibility of the proposed method is verified by the model test and finite element (FE) analysis of a simply supported multi-cell box girder with constant depth. Subsequently, parametric analysis is conducted to explore the mechanism of shear lag effect of varied sectional cantilever box girder with multiple cells. Results show that the shear lag behavior of variable box-section cantilever box girder is weaker than that of box girder with constant section. It is recommended to make the gradient of shear flow in the web with respect to span length vary as smoothly as possible for eliminating the shear lag effect of box girder. An effective countermeasure for diminishing shear lag effect is to increase the number of box chambers or change the variation manner of bridge depth. The shear lag effect of varied sectional cantilever box girder will get more server when the length of central flanges is shorter than 0.26 or longer than 0.36 times of total width of top flange, as well as the cantilever length exceeds 0.29 times of total length of box's flange. Therefore, the distance between central webs can adjust the shear lag effect of box girder. Especially, the width ratio of cantilever plate with respect to total length of top flange is proposed to be no more 1/3.

본 연구에서는 개구제형 트윈 거더 교량의 곡률에 따른 상부수평브레이싱 부재력 산정식의 적절성 및 적용성을 검토하였다. 이를 위해 3경간 연속교를 대상으로 곡률반경을 50m에서 1,200m로 변화시켜 상부수평브레이싱의 부재력 산정식과 3차원 유한요소해석을 통한 부재력을 비교하였다. 그리하여 상부수평브레이싱의 공칭부재력을 계산할 수 있는 보정계수를 제안하였다. 특히 상부수평브레이싱 수직재 부재력 산정식은 3차원 유한요소해석결과와 잘 부합하지 않는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 가로보의 유무에 따른 교축직각방향 강성의 영향이라 판단된다. 그리고 사재와 수직재의 휨, 비틀림, 뒤틀림 및 수평분력의 영향을 곡률별로 도식화하여 나타내었다.

In designing a railroad bridge, the fatigue is one of the main factors to be considered for ensuring safe operation. Especially, for a new type of a structural member, which has not been adopted to railroad bridges, the fatigue performance should be checked. In this paper, the fatigue characteristics of an IT girder are examined. The IT girder is a new type of a prestressed concrete girder which has two prestressed H-beams in the top of the girder to give the girder additional sectional capacity. To obtain the fatigue performance, a 10m IT girder specimen is designed, and a repeated load test is performed by applying the load cyclically two million times. The magnitude of the repeated load is determined considering the stress level under the service condition. During the test, static load tests are performed to identify the stiffness degradation. The fatigue performance of the girder is checked according to the Japanese and the CEB-FIB design codes. The fatigue test result shows that the IT girder satisfies both design codes.
