A new type bridge combining an integral bridge and a pair of geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) retaining walls having full-height rigid (FHR) facings, called the GRS integral bridge, is proposed. The geosynthetic reinforcement layers are connected to the FHR facings (i.e., RC parapets) that are integrated with a girder without using any girder-support. GRS integral bridges are basically much more cost-effective in construction and long-term maintenance while having a much higher seismic stability than conventional-type bridges having a girder via movable and fixed supports on a pair of cantilever abutments. GRS integral bridges are better than bridges using GRS retaining walls as abutments and also than conventional integral bridges with unreinforced backfill. To validate the above, a series of static cyclic lateral loading tests of the facing and a series of shaking table tests were performed on smallscaled models of different bridge types.

This article presents theoretical investigations on techniques for the improvement of the dynamic characteristics of slender bridges under wind action. Aerodynamically effective control shields are applied as controlled actuators. The first part of the article describes the modelling of the uncontrolled aeroelastic system. Acting aerodynamic forces are consistently characterised using linear time-invariant transfer elements in terms of rational functions. On this basis, two configuration levels of the uncontrolled system are represented with linear time-invariant state-space models and investigated. The second part of the article addresses controller design and the behaviour of the controlled aeroelastic system. Both fundamental limits for stabilisation and the efficiency for attenuating the influence of gusts are described for different actuator mechanisms. The results are derived and discussed with methods of control theory.

Seismic safety of continuous span concrete bridge can be enhanced by distributing a large seismic lateral load to each supporting pier. A new viscoelastic device called Shock Transmission Unit(STU), which is a simple cylinder-piston assembly packed with a so-called silicone putty compound, enables the lateral seismic load to be transmitted to the pier by installation of the device to movable bearings of the bridge. The seismic safety of concrete bridges having the STU depends on not only safety of the bridges globally but also safety of anchor systems which anchors the STU to concrete pier. An experimental investigation is performed to study the behavior of cast-in-place anchor and post-installed anchor subjected to shear load statically and cyclically according to different edge distance, embedment length, and anchor spacing. Finally, the experimental results are compared with results by design methods of ACI and CCD, and results by FEM analysis.

Prestressed concrete(PSC) bridge structures with a number of continuous spans has been segmentally built in many countries. These methods include incremental launching method, movable scaffolding method, full staging method and balanced cantilever method. In these segmentally constructed prestressed concrete bridges, many construction joints exist and these construction joints are weak points in PSC bridges. The prestress force can be introduced prestress force continuously through the construction joints of PSC bridge superstructure using tendon couplers. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the structural behavior and ultimate flexural strength of construction joints in PSC girder bridge members. To this end, a comprehensive experimental program has been set up and a series of full-scale tests have been performed. Ultimate flexural strength of construction joint in PSC members with tendon couplers is decreased by approximately 10% for non-coupled members.

This study proposes a novel longitudinal self-centering earthquake resistant system for reinforced concrete (RC) continuous bridges by using superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) reinforcement and friction dissipation mechanism. The SMA reinforcing bars are implemented in the fixed piers to provide self-recentering forces, while the friction dampers are used at the movable substructures like end abutments to enhance the energy dissipation of the bridge system. A reasonable balance between self-centering and energy dissipation capacities should be well achieved by properly selecting the parameters of the SMA rebars and friction dampers. A two-span continuous bridge with one fixed pier and two abutments is chosen as a prototype for illustration. Different longitudinal earthquake resistant systems including the proposed one in this study are investigated and compared. The results indicate that compared with the designs of over-dissipation (e.g., excessive friction) and over-self-centering (e.g., pure SMAs), the proposed system with balanced design between self-centering and energy dissipation would perform satisfactorily in controlling both the peak and residual displacement ratios of the bridge system.

The rigidity of pier is important in the analysis of rail on high speed railway bridges. This study is being performed because of followings. 1) Actual longitudinal stiffness of the structure including substructure should be considered in the calculation of longitudinal stresses in rails. 2) There are many uncertainties in piers and foundations for design. 3) Actual guideline for the design of piers is necessary. 4) Measurement on the rigidity of pier according to the types of pier, foundation and soil-condition is needed. Curve for rigidity will be obtained through this study and applied for actual design as the guideline. Stresses in rails can be estimates accurately. A pair of piers, which consists of pot-bearing for fixed support and pad-bearing for movable support, is loaded by steel frame through steel wire ropes. The responses which are intended to measure in the field test are displacements, forces and tilts on the top of piers.

An active mass damper system for flutter control of bridges is presented. Flutter stability of bridge structures is improved with the help of eccentric rotational actuators (ERA). By using a bridge girder model that moves in two degrees of freedom and is subjected to wind, the equations of motion of the controlled structure equipped with ERA are established. In order to take structural nonlinearities into consideration, flutter analysis is carried out by numerical simulation scheme based on a 4th-order Runge-Kutta algorithm. An example demonstrates the performance and efficiency of the proposed device. In comparison with known active mass dampers for flutter control, the movable eccentric mass damper and the rotational mass damper, the power demand is significantly reduced. This is of advantage for an implementation of the proposed device in real bridge girders. A preliminary design of a realization of ERA in a bridge girder is presented.

국내 도로건설사업은 평균 단가 기준으로 개략공사비를 산정한다. 도로의 기초자료를 갱신함으로써 평균 단가를 수정하고 있으나 공사 특성을 전부 반영하기에는 미흡한 실정이다. 설계 진행단계에서 설계 대안을 평가하는데 활용할 수 있는 공사비 예측모델의 필요성이 제기되는 가운데 대표공정을 통해 표준물량을 산출하고 개략공사비 산정모델개발을 통해 실질적인 공사비 예측이 가능한 모델을 개발하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 Prestressed Concrete Box Girder Bridge의 상부공사를 중심으로 연구를 수행하며 $2000{\sim}2007$년 사이에 수행되었던 구조물공 41건에 대한 기초자료를 수집하고 토목공사 수량산출기준에 의한 내역서를 기반으로 Grouping을 실시하여 대표적 특수교량인 ILM(Incremental Launching Method), MSS(Movable Scaffolding System), FSM(Full Staging Method), 그리고 FCM(Free Cantilever Method)등 교량 형식별로 총공사비에서 공사비 비중 및 해당 공종에서의 중요도가 높은 항목을 중심으로 설계 초기단계에서 가용한 정보 수준을 고려하여 대표공종 선정한다. 교량 형식별 선정된 대표공종을 살펴보면 P.S.C 강재설치 및 긴장작업/P.S.C BOX/자재대 및 자재운반비/철근가공 및 조립/증기양생/콘크리트 타설/거푸집/교면 방수/동바리 등 교량형식별 특수성을 제외하면 대표공종들이 순공사비에서 차지하는 비중이 비슷함을 알 수 있다. 공종들이 총공사비에서 차지하는 비율은 ILM(99.47%)/ MSS(99.22%)/ FSM(98.18%)/ FCM(98.12%)로 나타났다.

최근 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 연속 교량은 다양한 공법에 의해 시공되어지고 있으며, 특히 세스먼트로 시공되는 ILM(Incremental Launching Method)과 MSS(Movable Scaffolding System) 공법을 사용하는 경우 교량 단면에서 시공이음이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 시공이음부에서 연속적인 트리스트레스 하중을 도입하기 위해서는 텐던을 겹침이음(overlapping)하거나 텐던 커플러를 사용하는 방법이 있다. 본 연구에서는 텐던 커플러를 사용한 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 교량 부재의 텐던 접속이음에 대한 응력 상태를 구명하고자 하였으며, 이를 위해 텐던의 커플링 효과를 고려한 실험과 유한요소 해석을 수행하였다. 유한요소 해석 결과와 실험에서 얻은 접속이음부의 응력 상태는 비교적 잘 일치하는 것으로 잘 나타났으며, 텐던 커플러를 사용한 접속이음부의 응력 상태는 텐던 커플러를 사용하지 않은 경우에 비해 종방향 및 횡방향 응력 상태가 상당히 다르게 나타나고 있다. 특히 구조적으로 문제가 되는 종방향 압축응력은 접속이음부 주위에서 텐던의 접속 비율이 증가함에 따라 크게 감소하는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 이러한 텐던 접속이음부 주위에서의 종방향 압축 응력의 감소는 활하중, 온도하중 및 건조수축으로 인해 프리스트레스트 교량에 인장응력이 작용할 때 균열이 발생할 수 있는 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구에서 얻은 텐던 접속이음부에서의 응력 상태는 향후 텐던 접속이음부의 구조 거동을 평가하고, 해석 및 설계에 유용한 기초 자료를 제시하고 있다.

According to continuos welded rails on a bridge, temperature changes bring about the expansion of the bridge deck adding axil forces on the track. Moreover, the ballast on the bridge deck expansion joint is moved due to the bridge deck. If bridge decks are longer, the influence is greater, loosening ballast, causing track irregularities, and deteriorating passengers' comfort. Considering structure of bridge itself and tolerance of track irregularities caused by the loosened ballast on bridges, the maximum length of a deck should be less than 80m, which is the same as the standard of the French railway. In this study, an interaction between the expansion related to the bridge length and irregularity in longitudinal level referring to measurements and maintenance works performed in the high-speed railways was analyzed. This research shows that installation of sliding plate or vertical ballast stopper is not a good option since it is difficult to install. On the other hand, installation of movable fastener or gluing is easy but its influence is insignificant. To conclude, switch tie tamping or manual tamping is more effective than others.
