The deterioration of RC deck slabs has been a serious problem and high portion of budget has been a spent for repair and strengthening of deck slab. The concrete deck slabs are subject to direct application of vehicle loading and accumulation of fatigue damage. Besides, various environmental causes. In this paper, an probabilistic study is carried out to predict exact load effects and structural capacity of deck slab during its service life, and estimate an appropriate remaining life of deck slab. To achieve this purpose the live load model is developed using by influence line including deterioration of deck slab, and deterioration model of bridge deck slab is developed. In addition, the fatigue life of reinforced concrete deck slabs considering corrosion of reinforcement are estimated based on experimental formula. This study will help rational decisions for the management and repair of reinforced concrete deck slabs.

지하투과레이더(GPR)를 이용하여 아스팔트 포장이 있는 교량 바닥판의 상태를 평가할 때, 현재는 포장면에 접한 콘크리트의 상대유전율이 12이상일 때를 손상위험이 높은 곳으로 판단하고 있다. 그러나 콘크리트의 상대유전율은 공극율과 수분율에 따라 변화하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 고속도로 상에 공용 중인 아스팔트 포장 교량 바닥판을 대상으로 다양한 시기에 걸쳐 GPR 조사를 실시하였으며 이로부터 손상평가 기준으로 활용되는 교량 바닥판 콘크리트의 상대유전율 변화에 대해 고찰을 실시하였다. 조사 결과, 손상이 발생되지 않은 경우 포장층 하면에 접한 바닥판 상면 콘크리트의 상대유전율은 보통 콘크리트의 상대유전율 범위로 정규분포에 가깝게 나타났다. 그러나, 열화 손상이 발생된 콘크리트 바닥판의 상대유전율은 조사가 이루어지는 시기와 기상조건의 영향을 받으며, 그 값은 우수의 유입 여부와 콘크리트의 손상 상태에 따라 변화할 가능성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 콘크리트 교량 바닥판의 상태평가를 위해 GPR을 이용하는 경우, 그 조사는 우기 또는 비가 온 이후에 실시함으로써 손상범위를 폭넓게 확인하는 것이 가능하다고 판단된다.

Research has suggested that conventional lightweight concrete can offer durability advantages due to reduced cracking tendency. Although a number of publications exist providing the results of laboratory-based studies on the durability performance of lightweight concrete (with lightweight coarse aggregate) and internally cured concrete (using prewetted lightweight fine aggregate), far fewer field studies of durability performance of conventional lightweight concrete bridge decks in service have been performed. This study was commissioned to provide insight to a highway agency on whether enhanced durability performance, and therefore reduced maintenance and longer lifecycles, could be anticipated from existing lightweight concrete bridge decks that were not intentionally internally cured. To facilitate performance comparison, each lightweight bridge deck selected for inclusion in this study was paired with a companion normalweight bridge deck on a bridge of similar structural type, deck thickness, and geometric configuration, with similar age, traffic, and environmental exposure. The field-observed cracking of the decks was recorded and evaluated, and crack densities for transverse, longitudinal, and pattern cracking of the normalweight and lightweight deck in each pair were compared. Although some trends linking crack prevalence to geographic location, traffic, and age were observed, a distinct difference between the cracking present in the paired lightweight and normalweight bridge decks included in this study was not readily evident. Statistical analysis using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) to adjust for age and traffic influence did not indicate that the type of concrete deck (lightweight or normalweight) is a statistically significant factor in the observed cracking. Therefore, for these service environments, lightweight decks did not consistently demonstrate reduced cracking.

A three-dimensional finite element model for the Jiashao Bridge, the longest multi-span cable-stayed bridge in the world, is established using the commercial software package ANSYS. Dynamic characteristics of the bridge are analyzed and the effects of structural system measures including the rigid hinge, auxiliary piers and longitudinal constraints between the girders and side towers on the dynamic properties including modal frequency, mode shape and effective mass are studied by referring to the Jiashao Bridge. The analysis results reveal that: (i) the installation of the rigid hinge significantly reduces the modal frequency of the first symmetric lateral bending mode of bridge deck. Moreover, the rigid hinge significantly changes the mode shape and effective mass of the first symmetric torsional mode of bridge deck; (ii) the layout of the auxiliary piers in the side-spans has a limited effect on changing the modal frequencies, mode shapes and effective masses of global vibration modes; (iii) the employment of the longitudinal constraints significantly increases the modal frequencies of the vertical bending modes and lateral bending modes of bridge deck and have significant effects on changing the mode shapes of vertical bending modes and lateral bending modes of bridge deck. Moreover, the effective mass of the first anti-symmetric vertical bending of bridge deck in the longitudinal direction of the fully floating system is significantly larger than that of the partially constrained system and fully constrained system. The results obtained indicate that the structural system measures of the multi-span cable-stayed bridge have a great effect on the dynamic properties, which deserves special attention for seismic design and wind-resistant design of the multi-span cable-stayed bridge.

A finite element model (FEM) for predicting early-age behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) bridge deck slabs with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars is presented. In this model, the shrinkage profile of concrete accounted for the effect of surrounding conditions including air flow. The results of the model were verified against the experimental test results, published by the authors. The model was verified for cracking pattern, crack width and spacing, and reinforcement strains in the vicinity of the crack using different types and ratios of longitudinal reinforcement. The FEM was able to predict the experimental results within 6 to 10% error. The verified model was utilized to conduct a parametric study investigating the effect of four key parameters including reinforcement spacing, concrete cover, FRP bar type, and concrete compressive strength on the behavior of FRP-RC bridge deck slabs subjected to restrained shrinkage at early-age. It is concluded that a reinforcement ratio of 0.45% carbon FRP (CFRP) can control the early-age crack width and reinforcement strain in CFRP-RC members subjected to restrained shrinkage. Also, the results indicate that changing the bond-slippage characteristics (sand-coated and ribbed bars) or concrete cover had an insignificant effect on the early-age crack behavior of FRP-RC bridge deck slabs subjected to shrinkage. However, reducing bar spacing and concrete strength resulted in a decrease in crack width and reinforcement strain.

Recently, the use of high-strength concrete is increasing due to the trend of constructing high-rise and long span structures. The benefit of using the high-strength concrete is that it increases the durability and strength while it reduces the cross-sectional area of the bridge deck slabs. Moreover, it offers more safety as these bridge deck slabs applying high-strength requires strict structural performance verification. In this study, the fatigue performance of the bridge deck slabs applying 80 MPa high-strength concrete was verified through various experiments. The experimental results showed that the specimens satisfy the conditions of flexural strength, punching shear strength, deflection and cracking. In conclusion, the bridge deck slabs designed by 80 MPa high-strength concrete are enough safe despite of its low thickness.

라텍스개질콘크리트(LMC)는 일반 콘크리트에 비하여 인장강도와 내구성 등 개선된 재료 특성을 가지고 있으며, 따라서 교량 데크 슬래브의 생애주기를 증대시키기 위하여 교면 포장재로 많이 사용되고 있다. 이러한 사용에는 LMC 포장부와 콘크리트 모반 사이의 우수한 부착성능이 전제된다. 한편 교량 데크 슬래브의 구조적 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 고성능 콘크리트(HPC) 슬래브가 현재 사용되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 일반 콘크리트(NSC) 또는 HPC 교량 데크 슬래브에 타설된 LMC 포장부의 부착거동을 모사하기 위하여, 유한요소해석을 이용한 변수 연구가 수행되었다. 이 연구에서 콘크리트 모반의 수축, 강성, 균열강도와 LMC 포장부의 두께가 콘크리트-LMC 포장부의 균열 발생에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 수치해석연구 결과, HPC 슬래브는 높은 수축량과 강성으로 인하여 콘크리트-LMC 교면 포장부에 균열을 유발할 가능성이 높은 것으로 사료된다.
