This paper presents a strategy for the quality assurance of the continuous preflex composite girder bridge through the camber management of the girder during construction. The construction stages which require welding, balanced preflexion loads at the ends, etc. may cause unexpected large deformation to the preflex girder. Furthermore, these defects can be detected by measurements and analyses of the girder behavior which is sometimes time consuming. In the present study, preflex girder's camber data at equally spaced nodes in each construction stage are obtained and analyzed for the quality control of thee span continuous preflex girder composite bridge.

The length-depth ratio of the preflex and PSC girder is very important variable. But PSC girder is very difficult to reduce the depth. If the bridge that girder depth is most important variable, then generally the great part of engineers are use the preflex girder that more expensive method then PSC girder. This paper introduce the design example that replace the preflex girder with the IPC girder The bridge span is 44m, and depth is 1.15m. The depth is restrained in 1.15m by several conditions. And it is compare preflex with IPC girder in semi condition. These two girders are very different in economy and execution. So, this paper present more economic and easy construction method.

기존의 연속 프리플렉스 거더교는 내측지점부 바닥판 콘크리트에 압축력을 도입시키기 위해 내측지점을 상승시키고 부모멘트 구간만큼의 바닥판 콘크리트를 타설하고 하강시키는 시공법을 사용하였다. 그러나 상기의 시공법은 장시간의 내측지점 상승 작업과 종곡선의 굴곡 문제 등 여러 가지 시공상 문제점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 이러한 문제점을 해소하기 위해 내측지점 및 외측지점을 하강시키는 공정만을 이용한 개선된 연속 프리플렉스 합성형 거더교의 시공법을 제시하였으며, 특정화된 연속 프리플렉스 거더교의 설계 프로그램에만 의존하지 않고 프리플렉스 거더교의 단면을 쉽게 추정할 수 있는 체계화된 설계식을 제시하였다.

Represtressed preflex beams do not allow tensile stress under service load by introducing additional prestressing at the lower concrete of beams. In this study, optimal design of represetressed preflex beams are numerically investigated. Design variables are dimension of plate girder. Object function is the total weight of plate girder. Constraints of the stress of plate girder and upper and lower concrete flange and lower and upper bounds on the design variables are imposed. Structural analysis is performed by D.A.R.P.(Design and Analysis of Represtressed Preflex beams). For numerical optimization, ADS(Garret N. Vanderplaats) program is used. From result of application examples, optimum designs of different cases are successfully obtained. The design program developed in this study seems efficient and robust for the optimization of represtressed preflex beams.

Preflex beam is a method of construction designed to hold the pre-compressive stresses over the concrete pier by the preflexion load. During the fabrication of the girder, welding causes residual stresses. The welding residual stresses must be relieved in order to generate the accurate compressive pre-stresses. In this study, to determine the thermal distribution characteristics on the girder by welding, both three-dimensional finite element analysis and two-dimensional finite element analysis, in a quasi-steady state, is carried out. After comparing each result between the three-dimensional analysis and the two-dimensional analysis, finite element analysis is carried out against the actual girder, and the welding thermal distribution characteristic over the preflex beam is analyzed. It is possible to provide the input data for the analysis of the welding residual stresses.

Preflex beams are prestressed by the predeflection technique, which enables the use of concrete-encased high strength steel beams where deflection or cracking of concrete, or both, would otherwise be excessive. This study presents the analysis of the two span preflex composite girder bridges with Load and Resistance Factor Design(LRFD), which is most widely used design nile in the advanced states. The results show that the comparison of LRR with Allowable Stress Design(ASD) according to span length.

The studies are conducted to investigate the fatigue and fracture, behavior of preflex girder. In this work, the fatigue tests using by constant amplitude fatigue loading and 4-point-loading to maintain pure bending condition in the mid-span of preflex girder will be performed. It is expected from the results of the studies to provide the fatigue strength and the S-N curve of preflex girders. In addition, it will be ensured that fracture initiation occurs in the welded part of horseshoe-type shear connector as well as in other welded joints.

본 연구에서는 내측지점의 상승 하강을 이용하여 부모멘트구간에 프리스트레스를 도입하는 3경간 연속 프리플렉스 합성형교의 설계방법을 제시하고 이를 전산 프로그램화하여 최적설계를 수행하였다. 최적설계를 위한 목적함수로는 3경간 연속 프리플렉스 합성형교의 재료비용으로 결정하고, 제약방정식은 설계과정 및 시방서에 명시된 최소 설계단면제원과 부재별 허용응력에 근거하여 구성하였다. 최적설계기법으로는 기존의 2경간 최적화 연구에서 제시된 수치적 최적화기법의 하나인 순차 비제약 최소화기법을 재검토 및 수정하여 설계를 수행하였다. 민감도분석 결과에 근거하여 지간길이에 따른 최적설계단면을 결정하고, 여기서 정해진 최종 설계단면을 단순보형 프리플렉스 합성형교의 설계단면과 비교하였다. 그리고 각 지간별 합성보의 형고를 변화시키면서 최적화를 수행하여 형고와 재료비용과의 관계도를 제시하고 최적형고를 결정하였다.

In the current study, ordinary design of Represstessed Pre-Flex (RPF) girder by classical beam theory and numerical model taking buckled shape into consideration were compared with field-survey data to find imperfections on the RPF girder before prestressing and after preflexion. It should be noted that the ordinary design do not consider deformed shape of steel girder in RPF beam. The deformed shapes of steel girder due to the incomplete fabrication that could be caused by self-weight, preflexion misalignment, existence of lateral bracing at mid-span and stiffness of reaction frame were found using a newly developed model which was verified against a deformation survey conducted on actual RPF girder in the field. The final observed deformed shapes of RPF after concrete shrinkage and before prestressing were classified into W, C and Unsymmetric shapes in regard to both survey and analytical results. The deformation survey showed negligible amount of unwanted deformation compared to the large size of the RPF girders. The shallower width of the bottom flange of steel girder caused amount of lateral torsional buckling under self-weight and preflexion thereby affecting the unwanted final overall shape of the RPF girders. However, it was found that the unwanted deformation of RPF girders by fabrication errors even though it is negligible compared to the size of the girder, caused unsymmetrical stress contours in concrete and additional tensile stress and raise some safety issues.
