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.

도로의 진출입로나 인터체인지에 널이 적용되고 있는 곡선교는 곡선반경, 사각 및 받침 간격 등에 따라 직선교보다 복잡한 거동을 나타낸다. 특히 상부구조물의 휨과 비틀림에 의해 솟음현상이 발생할 수 있고, 예각부 받침에는 부반력이 발생할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 곡선교에서 교량의 곡선반경, 받침간격 및 사각이 부반력에 미치는 영향에 대해 분석하였다. 이를 위해 RAMP에 적용 가능한 지간(L)이 50m인 단경간의 강박스거더 곡선교를 대상으로 3차원 격자구조 모델을 이용하여 해석적인 방법으로 지점반력을 산출하였다. 부반력은 교량의 평면형상, 구조계의 형성, 받침의 조건 등에 의해 그 크기가 결정 되므로 매개변수는 곡선반경, 사각 및 받침간격으로 하였으며, 도로교설계기준에 제시된 하중조합에 의해 발생되는 반력의 크기를 계산하였다. 수치해석한 결과에 의하면 부반력은 곡선반경, 받침간격 및 사각이 작을수록 크게 발생하는 것으로 나타났으며, 사각 $60^{\circ}$ 일때 곡선반경 250m 이하에서는 받침간격에 관계없이 항상 부반력이 발생하였고, 사각 $75^{\circ}$일 때 곡선반경 180m에서는 ${\theta}/B$가 0.27 이하, 곡선반경 250m에서는 ${\theta}/B$가 0.32 이하에서 부반력이 발생하지 않았으며, 사각 $90^{\circ}$ 일 때 곡선반경 130m에서는 ${\theta}/B$가 0.38 이하 일 때와 곡선반경이 180m 이상일 때 부반력이 발생하지 않았다. 이상의 결과로부터 설계변수인 곡선반경, 받침간격 및 사각이 곡선교에서 부반력 발생과 밀접한 관계가 있음을 확인하였고, 곡선교의 설계시 설계변수들의 상호관계를 적절히 설정하면 부반력이 발생하지 않는 구조계로 설계가 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

Jilin highway concrete bridge is located in the center of Jilin City, which is positioned in the middle part in Jilin Province in the east north of China. This bridge crosses the Songhua River and connects the north and the south of Jilin City. The main purpose of damages inspection of the bridge components is to ensure the safety of a bridge and to identify any maintenance, repair, or strengthening which that need to be carried out. The damages that occur in reinforced concrete bridges include different types of cracks, scalling and spalling of concrete, corrosion of steel reinforcement, deformation, excessive deflection, and stain. The main objectives of this study are to inspect the appearance of Jilin highway concrete bridge and describe all the damages in the bridge structural members, and to evaluate the structural performance of the bridge structure under dead and live loads. The tests adopted in this study are: (a) the depth of concrete carbonation test, (b) compressive strength of concrete test, (c) corrosion of steel test, (d) static load test, and (e) dynamic load test. According to the damages inspection of the bridge structure appearance, most components of the bridge are in good conditions with the exception arch waves, spandrel arch, deck pavement of new arch bridge, and corbel of simply supported bridge which suffer from serious damages. Load tests results show that the deflection, strain, and cracks development satisfy the requirements of the standards.

Highly curved steel-box bridges are usually constructed as ramp structures for the highway interchange and metropolitan elevated highway junction, but a number of these bridges are deteriorated and damaged to a significant degree due to heavy traffic. The main objective of the study is to develop a practical reliability-based assessment of safety and residual load carrying-capacity of existing curved steel-box ramp bridges. In the paper, for the realistic assessment of safety and residual load carrying-capacity of deteriorated and/or damaged curved steel-box bridges, an interactive non-linear limit state model is formulated based on the von Mises's combined stress yield criterion. It is demonstrated that the proposed model is effective for the assessment of reliability-based safety and the evaluation of residual load carrying-capacity of curved steel-box bridges. In addition, this study comparatively shows the applicability of various reliability analysis methods, and suggests a practical and effective one to be used in practice.

평면에서 곡선을 이루는 들보는 흔히 뒬효과를 고려한 원형곡선부재로 설계된다. 본 연구에서는 곡선교를 단면이 일축대칭이고 단순지지된 원형곡선부재로 이상화시켰다. 경계조건을 만족하는 변위형상함수를 퓨리어급수로 전개하고 이로부터 곡선교의 전동수방정식을 유도하였다. 곡선형교의 특성을 나타낼 수 있는 매개변수-중심각, 곡률계수 및 단면의 대칭성계수-의 변화에 따른 원형곡선부재의 고유진동수 특성분포를 보였다. 몇 개의 해석예를 통하여 고유진동수에 미치는 매개변수의 효과를 조사하였다.

In this study a 3-dimensional analytical model is developed, which can analyses dynamic responses of curved bridges subject to moving vehicles. A 5-axle semi-trailer is modeled to simulate the actual tire forces that are redistributed by vehicle rolling effect due to the centrifugal force. The 1-span curved bridge with two steel box girders is modeled using the frame elements. The dynamic response characteristics of curved box girder bridges are examined and compared for two different support conditions. One is the case that two shoes are arranged at the outer sides of box girders with larger space between the two shoes and the other is that two shoes at the center of each box girder. In the curved bridges, the dynamic effect of moving vehicles influences the reaction force much more than other responses, such as displacement or stress, especially the upward reaction of inner-radius shoes. It is more advantageous for the reaction considering dynamic effect when shoes are arranged further at the outer sides of box girders than when shoes at the center of each box. The shoes for curved bridges with two-box girder system should be arranged to have larger distance.

Stress concentration at haunches of Rahmen bridges was evaluated by means of FEM analysis. The selected haunches were of three different types; straight, skew and curved ones with$55^{\circ}$of angle respectively. The result showed that the effect of stress distribution was the lowest at the curved haunch and the highest at the straight one. Such a result could be used to provide some guidelines for revising related standard specifications.
