The crucial differences between conventional rail with split-type connectors and continuous welded rails are axial stress in the longitudinal direction and stability, as well as other issues generated under the influence of loading effects. Longitudinal stresses generated in continuously welded rails on railway bridges are strongly influenced by the nonlinear behavior of the supporting system comprising sleepers and ballasts. Thus, the track structure interaction cannot be neglected. The rail-support system mentioned above has properties of non-uniform material distribution and uncertainty of construction quality. The linear elastic hypothesis therefore cannot correctly evaluate the stress distribution within the rails. The aim of this study is to apply the nonlinear finite element method using the nonlinear coupling interface between the track and structural model and to illustrate the welded rail behavior under the loading effect and uncertain factors of the ballast. Numerical results of nonlinear finite analysis with a three-dimensional solid and frame element model are presented for a typical track-bridge system. A composite plate girder, modeled by solid and shell elements, is also analyzed to consider the behavior of the welded rail. The analysis result showed buckling under the independent calculations of load cases, including 'temperature change', 'bending of the supporting structure', and 'braking' of the railway vehicle. A parametric study of the load combination method and the loading sequence is also included in this analysis.

The design codes and calculation methods related to soil-steel composite bridges and culverts only specify the minimum soil cover depth. This value is connected with the bridge span and shell height. In the case of static and dynamic loads (like passing vehicles), such approach seems to be quite reasonable. However, it is important to know how the soil cover depth affects the behaviour of soil-steel composite bridges under seismic excitation. This paper presents the results of a numerical study of soil-steel bridges with different soil cover depths (1.00, 2.00, 2.40, 3.00, 4.00, 5.00, 6.00 and 7.00 m) under seismic excitation. In addition, the same soil cover depths with different boundary conditions of the soil-steel bridge were analysed. The analysed bridge has two closed pipe-arches in its cross section. The load-carrying structure was constructed as two shells assembled from corrugated steel plate sheets, designed with a depth of 0.05 m, pitch of 0.15 m, and plate thickness of 0.003 m. The shell span is 4.40 m, and the shell height is 2.80 m. Numerical analysis was conducted using the DIANA programme based on the finite element method. A nonlinear model with El Centro records and the time history method was used to analyse the problem.

A general procedure is presented here to develope seismic design and analysis method for cable-supported bridges like suspension bridges subjected to ground motion. For representing a numerical model of suspension bridges. a new approach which satisfy design conditions for the initial equilibrium state of suspension bridges. without any nonlinear iterations. is proposed. The dynamic behavior of that model is verified by free vibration analysis. This study uses the response spectrum analysis to determine the Peak response of a suspension bridge to earthquake-induced ground motion. The SRSS(Square Root of Sum of Square). modal combination rule, is adopted for each direction, longitudinal and transverse. To illustrate the potential applicability for the seismic design of suspension bridges, a numerical example is presented in which the dynamic response of the Nam-hae suspension bridge subjected to earthquake

The aim of this study is to assess the structural performance of deteriorated reinforced concrete bridge piers, and to provide method for developing improved evaluation method. For a deteriorated bridge piers, once the cover spalls off and bond between the reinforcement and concrete has been lost, compressed reinforcements are likely to buckle. By using a sophisticated nonlinear finite element analysis program, the accuracy and objectivity of the assessment process can be enhanced. A computer program, RCAHEST (Reinforced Concrete Analysis in Higher Evaluation System Technology), is used to analyze reinforced concrete structures. Material nonlinearity is taken into account by comprising tensile, compressive and shear models of cracked concrete and a model of reinforcing steel. Advanced deteriorated material models are developed to predict behaviors of deteriorated reinforced concrete. The proposed numerical method for the structural performance assessment of deteriorated reinforced concrete bridge piers is verified by comparing it with reliable experimental results. Additionally, the studies and discussions presented in this investigation provide an insight into the key behavioral aspects of deteriorated reinforced concrete bridge piers.

비선형동적해석을 통하여 RC 입체라멘교에 대한 지진거동특성 및 파괴메카니즘에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 파이버모델에 기초한 RC 프레임요소를 교각에 도입하여 3차원영역에서 모델링하여 비선형동적해석을 수행하였다. 해석의 정확성을 향상시키기 위하여 균열 진전후 콘크리트와 철근의 부작특성에 의한 재료역학적 특성차이를 고려하기 위하여 파이버는 철근영역(RC zone)과 무근영역(PC zone)으로 영역화하였다. 대상교량은 관성력 중심위치와 교량의 강성중심 위치가 일치하지 않아 비틀림을 동반한 복잡한 지진거동특성을 나타내었다. 이러한 거동특성에 의하여 유연한 교각 옆에 위치하는 상대적 강성이 큰 교각에 과다한 지진하중이 집중되어 파괴에 이르는 것으로 나타났다.

This paper focuses on presenting modeling considerations and insight into the performance of typical straight, curved, and skewed box-girder bridges in California which form the bulk of the bridge inventory in the state. Three case study bridges are chosen: Meloland Road Overpass, Northwest Connector of Interstate 10/215 Interchange, and Painter Street Overpass, having straight, curved, and skewed superstructures, respectively. The efficacy of nonlinear dynamic analysis is established by comparing the response from analytical models to the recorded strong motion data. Finally insights are provided on the component behavioral characteristics and shift in vulnerability for each of the bridge types considered.

본 연구는 신축이음장치를 설치하지 않고 상부구조와 교대를 일체화하는 무조인트 교량의 거동해석에 대한 것이다. 선행연구에서는 민감도 해석을 통해 무조인트 교량의 최적 수치해석 모들은 상대오차에 의한 변위 형상의 유사성과 정밀도를 유지하면서 실용적인 shell 요소 기반 모델이 가장 적합한 것으로 판단하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 shell 요소 기반 모델과 solid 요소 모델간의 벽체 깊이별 거동 분석을 수행하였다. 또한 MIDAS Civil과 ABAQUS를 사용하여 해석 프로그램간 비교를 하였다. 반일체식 교대 교량인 A 교와 B 교의 경우 선형 스프링 조건인 Case 1, +30℃의 경우 지반반력으로 인해 벽체 깊이가 깊어질수록 변위가 감소하였다. -30℃의 경우는 지반반력이 작용하지 않으므로 변위 변화가 미소하였다. 완전일체식 교대 교량인 C 교와 흉벽일체식 교대 교량인 D 교의 경우 말뚝의 저항력으로 인하여 +30℃, -30℃ 모두 벽체 깊이가 깊어질수록 변위가 감소하였다. 해석 프로그램간 비교는 Case 1의 경우 상대오차는 미소하였으나 Case 2의 경우는 차이가 발생하였다. 이는 해석 프로그램에 따른 비선형 스프링의 적용 방식의 차이로 인한 것으로 판단된다.

This paper presents a restart iterative approach for time-domain flutter analysis of long-span bridges using the commercial FE package ANSYS. This approach utilizes the recursive formats of impulse-response-function expressions for bridge's aeroelastic forces. Nonlinear dynamic equilibrium equations are iteratively solved by using the restart technique in ANSYS, which enable the equilibrium state of system to get back to last moment absolutely during iterations. The condition for the onset of flutter instability becomes that, at a certain wind velocity, the amplitude of vibration is invariant with time. A long-span suspension bridge was taken as a numerical example to verify the applicability and accuracy of the proposed method by comparing calculated results with wind tunnel tests. The proposed method enables the bridge designers and engineering practitioners to carry out time-domain flutter analysis of bridges in commercial FE package ANSYS.
