Structural optimization algorithm of steel box girder bridges using improved higher-order approximate reanalysis technique is proposed in this paper. The proposed approximation method is a generalization of the convex approximation method. The order of the approximate reanalysis for each function is analytically adjusted in the optimization process. This self-adjusted capability makes the approximate structural analysis values conservative enough to maintain the optimum design point of the approximate problem. The efficiency of proposed optimazation algorithm, compared with conventional algorithm, is successfully demonstrated in the steel box girder bridges. The efficiency and robustness of proposed algorithm is also demonstrated in practical steel box girder bridges.

공용중인 고속철도의 PSC Box 교량의 긴장력 관리는 교량 성능에 있어 매우 중요한 기능으로 교량 유지관리시 세밀한 관리가 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 열차(활하중) 재하시험 없이 측정한 상시처짐 결과를 이용하여 PSC Box girder 내부의 긴장력 감소 수준과 긴장력 손실에 다른 재긴장 예측 시기를 연구하고자 한다. PSC Box 거더의 긴장력 감소에 따른 재긴장 시기 예측결과, 준공 이후 약 17년 이전에서는 긴장력 감소(Jacking force loss) 곡선이 완만한 것으로 나나낫다. 그러나 17년 이후에서는 긴장력 감소 곡선이 급격하게 변화되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 공용연수 증가에 따라 긴장력이 감소하는 것으로 확인되었고, 구조물의 노후화가 진행될수록 긴장재의 손신을 더 급격하게 증가되는 것으로 분석되었다. 향후 공용중인 PSC Box 교량중에서 준공 이후 18년 이상 경과된 구조물의 경우 긴장재 및 주변 손상에 대한 정밀조사가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

A model has been proposed that can predict the ultimate torsional strength of single-box multi-cell reinforced concrete box girder under combined loading of bending, shear and torsion. Compared with the single-cell box girder, this model takes the influence of inner webs on the distribution of shear flow into account. According to the softening truss theory and thin walled tube theory, a failure criterion is presented and a ultimate torsional strength calculating procedure is established for single-box multi-cell reinforced concrete box girder under combined actions, which considers the effect of tensile stress among the concrete cracks, Mohr stress compatibility and the softened constitutive law of concrete. In this paper the computer program is also compiled to speed up the calculation. The model has been validated by comparing the predicted and experimental members loaded under torsion combined with different ratios of bending and shear. The theoretical torsional strength was in good agreement with the experimental results.

This paper develops practical and realistic reliability models and methods for the evalusion of system reliability and system reliability-based rating of R.C box-girder bridge superstructures. The precise prediction of reserved carrying capacity of bridge as a system is extremely difficult expecially when the bridges are highly redundant and significantly deteriorated or damaged. This paper proposes a new approach for the evaluation of reserved system carrying capacity of bridges in terms of equivalent system-strength, which may be defined as a bridge system-strength corresponding to the system reliability of the bridge. This can be derived from an inverse process based on the concept of FOSM form of system reliability index. The strength limit state models for R.C box-girder bridges suggested in the paper are based on the basic bending and shear strength. and the system reliability problem of box-girder superstructure is formulated as parallel-series models obtained from the FMA(Failure Mode Approach) based on major failure mechanism or critical failure states of each girder. AFOSM and IST(Importance Sampling Technique) simulation algorithm is used for the reliability analysis of the proposed models.

Although just developed in recent years, curved box girder has widely used in modern highway system due to their load resistance capacity as well as aesthetic considerations. According to recent literature reviews on curved box girder designs, distortional load was not considered as much as it deserves to be. In practice, the effect of distributional force is very small in straight bridge systems but yet unknown how it is in curved bridge systems. For the reason, this paper will show up an extensive parametric study on distortional behavior of curved box girder with trapezoidal section. Based on Dabrowski formulas, using finite element method, various bridges were investigated. In this study, following parameters will be included: span length, curvature radius, section height, section width, and internal section angle (web slope). From the obtained results, some initial geometric parameters are proposed for curved box girder bridges.

Box girder bridges are now widely used in bridge construction, and it is necessary to perform load rating regularly to evaluate the load capacity of box girder bridges. Load testing is a common measure for load rating. However, the bridge must be loaded by many trucks under different loading conditions, which is time-consuming and laborious. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a load rating method for box girder bridges based on rapid moving loads testing. The method includes three steps. First, the quasi-influence factors of the bridge are obtained by crossing the bridge with rapidly moving loads, and the structural modal parameters are simultaneously obtained from the dynamic data to supplement. Second, an objective function is constructed, consisting of the quasi-influence factors at several measurement points and structural modal parameters. The finite element model for load rating is then updated based on the Rosenbrock method. Third, on this basis, a load rating method is proposed using the updated model. The load rating method proposed in this paper can considerably reduce the time duration of traditional static load testing and effectively utilize the dynamic and static properties of box girder bridges to obtain an accurate finite element model. The load capacity obtained based on the updated model can avoid the inconsistency of the evaluation results for the different structural members using the adjustment factors specified in codes.

압축강도 160MPa와 길이 15.4m를 가진 초고강도 섬유보강 분절 박스거더에 대한 휨거동 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 변수로는 PS강재의 면적, 강섬유 혼입률과 복부와 상부 플랜지의 종방향 철근이다. 하부플랜지의 두 개 텐던에 16개, 12개, 7개씩을 배치하고, 강섬유 혼입률은 2.0%, 1.5%, 1%를 사용하였다. 하부에 32개의 강연선을 배근한 박스거더는 과보강 강재 거동을 보였으며, 24개의 강연선을 배근한 거더는 강연선 32개를 설치한 거더와 비슷한 최대하중을 보이면서 처짐이 많은 저보강 강재 거동을 보였다. 강연선을 14개 설치한 박스거더는 24개 설치한 거더 내하력의 1/2정도 최대하중을 보이며, 연성거동을 보이고 있다. 설계기준의 강재지수에 따른 보 파괴거동의 분류에 대한 식의 유효성을 검토한 결과 지수 판별식은 초고강도 박스거더의 거동을 정확하게 반영하지 못하고 있으며, 박스거더의 기하학적 형태를 세부적으로 고려하고, 강재의 변형률 0.005에 해당하는 기준값을 새로 산정해야할 것으로 판단된다.

This paper is to investigate the dynamic characteristics of prestressed concrete (PSC) girder that has been spliced with precast box segments. A 20 m long full-scale spliced precast concrete box railway girder was fabricated and tested to identify its dynamic properties against a monolithic girder. The monolithic girder has the same geometric and material properties with respect to the spliced girder. Dynamic parameters including natural frequency, mode shape, and damping ratio were identified using the a digitally controlled exciter. Modal analyses were performed based on three-dimensional finite element models, and the calculated modal parameters were compared with test results. Finally, the characteristic decrease of natural frequency due to damage for each girder has been examined after the load test.

In this study, the optimization program is developed to provide preliminary designs of steel-box girder bridges with minimum cost. The advantages of steel-box girder deck, when comparing with other girder types, are higher torsional rigidity and better resistance against corrosion. To achieve more rational design, systematic design procedure is required, by which the design constraints on steel-box girder are satisfied and the design variables with minimum cost are obtained. In the Proposed optmum design Process, the design variables are forced to be selected from the available discrete value set. The efficiency of the developed program has been verified by companing with previous designed sections and the resulting optimum cost with discrete variables has been compared with those of continuous variables.
