The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of precast concrete pier cap system. The proposed precast pier cap provides an alternative to current cast-in-place systems, particularly for projects in which a reduced construction time is desired. Five large-scale pier cap specimens were constructed and tested under quasistatic monotonic loading. The computer program, RCAHEST (Reinforced Concrete Analysis in Higher Evaluation System Technology) was used for the analysis of reinforced concrete structures. A bonded tendon element is used based on the finite element method, and can represent the interaction between the tendon and concrete of a prestressed concrete member. A joint element is used in order to predict the inelastic behaviors of segmental joints with a shear key. This study documents the testing of the precast concrete pier cap system under monotonic loading and presents conclusions and design recommendations based on the experimental and analytical findings. Additional full-scale experimental research is needed to refine and confirm design details, especially for actual detailing employed in the field.

사전제작 기술은 교량을 더 안전하고 주변과 친화적인 환경을 구축하며 작업 환경에 제한이 있을 경우에도 품질과 내구성을 개선하며 공사를 수행할 수 있다. 콘크리트 충전강관을 이용한 모듈러 하부구조 교각을 제안하였다. 프리캐스트 피어캡은 피어테이블과 프리스트레스를 도입한 프리캐스트 세그먼트로 구성되어 있다. 피어테이블은 매입형 강재를 사용하여 응력의 집중을 완화하였다. 피어캡과 교각은 4개 또는 6개의 CFT기둥으로 연결된다. 피어캡의 전단강도는 피어테이블에서 연장시킨 전단 스터럽에 의해 저항하게 된다. 횡방향 프리스트레스 힘은 사용하중에 의한 인장 응력을 제어하기 위하여 도입되었다. 이 논문에서는 모듈러 구조의 유효성을 정적실험을 통하여 평가하였다. 제안된 피어캡은 설계 요구사항들을 연속 철근과 프리스트레스에 의해 만족시켰다. 모듈러 구조의 표준화는 급속교체 및 교량의 급속시공에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있다.

This paper presents a numerical study on structural behavior of hammer head pier cap beams, extended on verges and reinforced with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates. A 3-D finite element (FE) model along with a simplified analytical model are presented. Concrete damage plasticity (CDP) was adapted in the FE model and an analytical approach predicting the CFRP anchor strength was adapted in both FE and analytical model. Total five quarter-scaled pier cap beams with various CFRP reinforcing schemes were experimentally tested and analyzed with numerical approaches. Comparison between experimental results, FE results, analytical results and current ACI guideline predictions was presented. The FE results showed good agreement with experimental results in terms of failure mode, ultimate capacity, load-displacement response and strain distribution. In addition, the proposed strut-and-tie based analytical model provides the most accurate prediction of ultimate strength of extended cap beams among the three numerical approaches.

Modeling techniques of piled pier were reviewed and the influences of pile cap's boundary conditions were analyzed in this study. Among various modeling techniques, equivalent cantilever method seems relatively simple for modeling pile groups and it has some problems to determine the virtual fixed points. Through the analyses, it was found that the method of nonlinear p-y model with soil springs was more appropriate than equivalent cantilever method. The method modeling a pile group using stiffness matrix seems useful for practical design, which can represent the nonlinear three-dimensional behavior of a piled pier. In this study, the stiffness matrix of a pile group could be estimated efficiently and precisely using three-dimensional nonlinear analysis programs of pile groups (FBPier 3.0, YSGroup).

In practical design of girder bridges or reinforced concrete slab bridges with T-type piers, it is usually assumed that vertical movements of superstructures are completely restrained at the locations of bearings(shoes) on a cap beam of the pier, The resulting vertical reactions are applied to the bearing for the calculation of bending moments and shear forces in the cap beam. However, in reality, the overhang parts of the cap beam will deform under the dead load of superstructures and the live load so that it may act as an elastic foundation. Due to the settlement of the elastic foundation, the actual distribution of the reactions at the bearings along the cap beam may be different from that obtained under the assumption that the vertical movements are fixed at the bearings. In the present study, investigated is the effects of elastic deformations of the T-type pier on the distribution of reactions at the bearings along the cap beam through 3-dimensional finite element analysis. Herein, for this purpose the whole structural system including the superstructure and piers as well is analyzed. It appears that the conventional practice which neglects the elastic deformations of the cap beam exhibits considerably different distributions of the reactions as compared with those obtained from the present finite element analysis. It is, therefore, recommended that in order to assess the reactions at bearings correctly the whole structural system be analyzed using 3-dimensional finite element analysis.

A simplified calculation method of natural vibration characteristics of high-speed railway multi-span bridge-longitudinal ballastless track system is proposed. The rail, track slab, base slab, main beam, bearing, pier, cap and pile foundation are taken into account, and the multi-span longitudinal ballastless track-beam-bearing-pier-cap-pile foundation integrated model (MBTIM) is established. The energy equation of each component of the MBTIM based on Timoshenko beam theory is constructed. Using the improved Fourier series, and the Rayleigh-Ritz method and Hamilton principle are combined to obtain the extremum of the total energy function. The simplified calculation formula of the natural vibration frequency of the MBTIM under the influence of vertical and longitudinal vibration is derived and verified by numerical methods. The influence law of the natural vibration frequency of the MBTIM is analyzed considering and not considering the participation of each component of the MBTIM, the damage of the track interlayer component and the stiffness change of each layer component. The results show that the error between the calculation results of the formula and the numerical method in this paper is less than 3%, which verifies the correctness of the method in this paper. The high-order frequency of the MBTIM is significantly affected considering the track, bridge pier, pile soil and pile cap, while considering the influence of pile cap on the low-order and high-order frequency of the MBTIM is large. The influence of component damage such as void beneath slab, mortar debonding and fastener failure on each order frequency of the MBTIM is basically the same, and the influence of component damage less than 10m on the first fourteen order frequency of the MBTIM is small. The bending stiffness of track slab and rail has no obvious influence on the natural frequency of the MBTIM, and the bending stiffness of main beam has influence on the natural frequency of the MBTIM. The bending stiffness of pier and base slab only has obvious influence on the high-order frequency of the MBTIM. The natural vibration characteristics of the MBTIM play an important guiding role in the safety analysis of high-speed train running, the damage detection of track-bridge structure and the seismic design of railway bridge.

건설환경의 지속적인 변화로 인하여 교량 건설비용의 최소화뿐만 아니라 공용기간중의 유지관리를 포함한 전체 비용의 최소화 및 최적화의 요구가 증가하고 있다. 이러한 이유로 교량의 상부구조에서 하부구조로 힘을 전달하기 위해 사용되는 교량받침 대신에 스터드나 연결철근 등과 같은 연결재를 사용하여 교량의 상부구조와 하부구조를 라멘식으로 일체화 시킨 교량형식이 제시되고 있다. 이 논문은 교량의 상부구조 형식을 연속 UD PSC 거더로 하여 철근콘크리트 교각과 일체화 시킨 교각일체형 연속 UD PSC 거더교를 대상으로 한다. 교각일체형 연속 UD PSC 거더교는 라멘교 형식과 거더교 형식을 결합한 교량으로 일반 받침형식의 교량과 상이한 거동특성을 나타낸다. 하지만 거동 특성에 대해 명확히 규명되어 있지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 해석적 방법을 이용하여 교각일체형 연속 UD PSC 거더교의 동적거동 특성을 분석하고 2, 3경간 교각일체형 연속 UD PSC 거더교에 적용할 수 있는 충격계수 산정식을 제시하였다.

최근 CFRP (탄소섬유보강폴리머) 보강재를 이용한 콘크리트 구조물 보강이 교량 및 건축물 등에 널리 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 교각 두부 보강에 프리스트레스가 도입된 표면매립 CFRP를 적용하였다. 적용된 공법의 효율성을 검증하기 위해 7개의 실험체를 제작하였으며, 기준 실험체, 외부 강선 보강 실험체, 탄소판 보강 실험체, 탄소 바 보강 실험체로 구성되어 있다. 보강재의 종류, 프리스트레스력의 크기를 실험 변수로 두어 실험을 하였으며, 실험 결과 프리스트레스가 도입된 표면매립 CFRP 보강 실험체의 극한강도가 기준 실험체에 비해 약 $20{\sim}33%$ 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 동일한 프리스트레스 도입량을 갖는 프리스트레스가 도입된 표면매립 CFRP 보강 실험체와 외부강선보강 실험체는 극한하중이 유사한 것으로 나타났다.
