최근 건설재료의 효율적 활용과 단면구조의 최적화로써 기존 강합성 거더의 구조성능과 시공성을 향상시키고자 새로운 형상의 강합성 거더 및 거더와 바닥판의 전단합성을 위한 RC 전단연결체가 고안된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 RC 전단연결체의 구조거동 및 전단강도를 평가하였다. 이를 위해 전단철근비를 변수로 하여 Push-out 실험을 실시하였고, 다양한 설계변수에 대한 유한요소해석을 수행하여 그 결과를 분석하였다. 실험 및 유한요소해석 결과에 의하면 RC 전단연결체의 전단강도를 기존 규준식으로 산정할 경우 매우 안전측으로 평가된다. 본 연구에서는 RC 전단연결체의 전단강도를 적절히 산정하기 위해 회귀분석적 방법으로 전단강도 평가식을 제안하였다.

For the estimation of the load effects of the slab-an-girder type structures, the applicability of FEM analysis for RC T-type girder bridges using orthotropic plate elements has been studied in the present study. The present study indicates that the analysis by orthotropic plate elements for RC T-type girder bridges gives reasonable results for sectional force, including moments and shear. The results from the present method gives the values in between full composite and non-composite cases, which are reasonable when compared with actual test results.

An analytical method considering axial equilibrium is proposed for the short- and long-term analyses of shear lag effect in reinforced concrete (RC) box girders. The axial equilibrium of box girders is taken into account by using an additional generalized displacement, referred to as the longitudinal displacement of the web. Three independent shear lag functions are introduced to describe different shear lag intensities of the top, bottom, and cantilever plates. The time-dependent material properties of the concrete are simulated by the age-adjusted effective modulus method (AEMM), while the reinforcement is assumed to behave in a linear-elastic fashion. The differential equations are derived based on the longitudinal displacement of the web, the vertical displacement of the cross section, and the shear lag functions of the flanges. The time-dependent expressions of the generalized displacements are then deduced for box girders subjected to uniformly distributed loads. The accuracy of the proposed method is validated against the finite element results regarding the short- and long-term responses of a simply-supported RC box girder. Furthermore, creep analyses considering and neglecting shrinkage are performed to quantify the time effects on the long-term behavior of a continuous RC box girder. The results show that the proposed method can well evaluate both the short- and long-term behavior of box girders, and that concrete shrinkage has a considerable impact on the concrete stresses and internal forces, while concrete creep can remarkably affect the long-term deflections.

모듈러 기술은 자동차, 플랜트, 조선산업 분야에서 이미 오래전부터 적용해 오던 기술로, 최근 교량 분야에도 적용되고 있다. 모듈러교량은 부재별 세부설계 과정이 생략되고, 모듈별로 표준화 된다는 점에서 기존의 조립식교량과는 차별화 된다. 거더형식 프리캐스트 모듈러교량은 단순지지 교량 형식으로 개발되었으며, 다경간 교량에 적용할 경우 단순지지 교량 형식의 모듈러교량을 연속화하는 방법으로 적용할 수 있다. 거더형식 프리캐스트 모듈러교량의 연속화는 시공이 간편하고 급속시공에 적합한 연결슬래브를 적용하는 방법으로 이루어진다. 연결슬래브는 1950년부터 미국에서 RC 형식으로 사용되기 시작하였으며, 2000년대에는 ECC를 적용한 연결슬래브(ECC 연결슬래브)가 개발된 바 있다. 이 연구에서는 ECC에 비해 재연성이 좋고 경제적인 RC를 적용한 연결슬래브를 다경간 거더형식 프리캐스트 모듈러교량에 적용하였으며, 기존의 RC 형식 연결슬래브를 보완한 형태의 연결슬래브와 수정된 연결슬래브의 설계방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 연결슬래브 설계방법의 검증을 위하여 연결슬래브 바닥판 실험체를 제작하고 연결슬래브의 휨성능 및 균열 사용성 검증실험을 수행하였으며, 이후 실제 교량시스템을 모사한 실험체를 이용하여 200만회 피로성능 검증실험을 수행하였다.

The deterioration of PC box girder may cause serious effect on the durability of PC structure compared to that of RC structures. In the durability assessment of PC box girder bridges, a quantitive model on crack width is considered as a measure of durability. This study suggests a durability limit state model for PC box girder bridges. This durability limit state model in formulated based on the conventional models on the cracks in concrete. And the allowable crack width is taken as an assumed value established by the design specification or provided by the maintenance authority of the structure.

The analysis of simply supported single-cell skew-curved reinforced concrete (RC) box-girder bridges is carried out using a finite element based CsiBridge software. The behaviour of skew-curved box-girder bridges can not be anticipated simply by superimposing the individual effects of skewness and curvature, so it becomes important to examine the behaviour of such bridges considering the combined effects of skewness and curvature. A comprehensive parametric study is performed wherein the combined influence of the skew and curve angles is considered to determine the maximum bending moment, maximum shear force, maximum torsional moment and maximum vertical deflection of the bridge girders. The skew angle is varied from 0° to 60° at an interval of 10°, and the curve angle is varied from 0° to 60° at an interval of 12°. The scantly available literature on such bridges focuses mainly on the analysis of skew-curved bridges under dead and point loads. But, the effects of actual loadings may be different, thus, it is considered in the present study. It is found that the performance of these bridges having more curvature can be improved by introducing the skewness. Finally, several equations are deduced in the non-dimensional form for estimating the forces and deflection in the girders of simply supported skew-curved RC box-girder bridges, based upon the results of the straight one. The developed equations may be helpful to the designers in proportioning, analysing, and designing such bridges, as the correlation coefficient is about 0.99.

Due to susceptibility of bridges in the past earthquakes, vulnerability assessment and strengthening of bridges has gained a particular significance. The objective of the present study is to employ an analytical method for the development of fragility curves, as well as to investigate the effect of strengthening on the RC box-girder bridges. Since fragility curves are used for pre-and post-earthquake planning, this paper has attempted to adopt the most reliable modeling assumptions in order to increase the reliability. Furthermore, to acknowledge the interaction of soil, abutment and pile, the effect of different strengthening methods, such as using steel jacketing and FRP layers, the effect of increase in the bridge pier diameter, and the effect of vertical component of earthquake on the vulnerability of bridges in this study, a three-span RC box-girder bridge was modeled in 9 different cases. Nonlinear dynamic analyses were carried out on the studied bridges subjected to 100 ground motion records via OpenSEES platform. Therefore, the fragility curves were plotted and compared in the four damage states. The results revealed that once the interaction of soil and abutment and the vertical component of the earthquake are accounted for in the calculations, the median fragility is reduced, implying that the bridge becomes more vulnerable. It was also confirmed that steel jackets and FRP layers are suitable methods for pier strengthening which reduces the vulnerability of the bridge.

Traffic flow capacity of some old road bridges is insufficient due to limited deck width. In such cases bridge deck widening is a common solution. For multi-girder reinforced concrete (RC) bridges it is possible to add steel-concrete composite girders as the new outermost girders. The deck widening may be combined with bridge strengthening thanks to thickening of the existing deck slab. Joint action of the existing and the added parts of such bridge span must be ensured. It refers especially to the horizontal plane at the interface of the existing slab and the added concrete layer as well as to the vertical planes at the external surfaces of the initially outermost girders where the added girders are connected to the existing bridge span. Since the distribution of the added concrete is non-uniform in the span cross-section the structure is particularly sensitive to the added concrete shrinkage. The shrinkage induces shear forces in the aforementioned planes. Widening of a 12 m long RC multi-girder bridge span is numerically analysed to assess the influence of the added concrete shrinkage. The analysis results show that: a) in the vertical plane of the connection of the added and the existing deck slab the longitudinal shear due to the shrinkage of the added concrete is comparable with the effect of live load, b) it is necessary to provide appropriate longitudinal reinforcement in the deck slab over the added girders due to tension induced by the shrinkage of the added concrete.
