In this study, a new type of isolation bearing is proposed by combining S-shaped steel plate dampers (SSDs) with a spherical steel bearing, and the seismic control effect of a five-span standard high-speed railway bridge is investigated. The advantages of the proposed S-shaped steel damping friction bearing (SSDFB) are that it cannot only lengthen the structural periods, dissipate the seismic energy, but also prevent bridge unseating due to the restraint effectiveness of SSDs in the large relative displacements between the girders and piers. This study first presents a detailed description and working principle of the SSDFB. Then, mechanical modeling of the SSDFB was derived to fundamentally define its cyclic behavior and obtain key mechanical parameters. The numerical model of the SSDFB's critical component SSD was verified by comparing it with the experimental results. After that, parameter studies of the dimensions and number of SSDs, the friction coefficient, and the gap length of the SSDFBs were conducted. Finally, the longitudinal seismic responses of the bridge with SSDFBs were compared with the bridge with spherical bearing and spherical bearing with strengthened shear keys. The results showed that the SSDFB can not only significantly mitigate the shear force responses and residual displacement in bridge substructures but also can effectively reduce girder displacement and prevent bridge unseating, at a cost of inelastic deformation of the SSDs, which is easy to replace. In conclusion, the SSDFB is expected to be a cost-effective option with both multi-stage energy dissipation and restraint capacity, making it particularly suitable for seismic isolation application to high-speed railway bridges.

Orthotropic steel highway bridges exist almost everywhere in world, especially in Europe. The design of these bridges started very early in 20th century and ended with a conventional orthotropic steel bridge structure, which is today specified in DIN FB 103. These bridges were mostly built in 1960's and exhibit damages in steel structural parts. The primary reason of these damages is the high pressure that is induced by wheel- loads and therefore damages develop especially in heavy traffic lanes. Constructive rules are supplied by standards to avoid damages in orthotropic steel structural parts. These rules are first given in detail in the standard DIN 18809 (Steel highway- and pedestrian bridges- design, construction, fabrication) and then in DIN- FB 103 (Steel bridges). Bridges built in the past are today subject to heavier wheel loads and the frequency of loading is also increased. Because the vehicles produced today in 21st century are heavier than before and more people have vehicle in comparison with 20th century. Therefore dimensioning or strengthening of orthotropic steel bridges by using stiffer dimensions and shorter spans is an essence. In the scope of this study the complex geometry of conventional steel orthotropic bridge is generated by FE-Program and the effects of cross beam web thickness and cross beam span on steel bridge are assessed by means of a parameter study. Consequently, dimensional and constructional recommendations in association with cross beam thickness and span will be given by this study.

This paper attempts to extract the fundamental dynamic properties, i.e. natural frequencies, damping ratios of the 48 m-long, $20^{\circ}$ skewed real bridge with PSC girders wrapped by a steel plate. The forced vibration test is achieved by mounting 12 Hz-capacity of artificial oscillator on the top of bridge deck. The acceleration histories at the 9 different locations of deck surface are recorded using accelerometors. From this full-scaled vibration test, the two possible resonance frequencies are detected at 2.38 Hz and 9.86 Hz of the skewed bridge deck by sweeping a beating frequency up to 12 Hz. The absolute acceleration/energy exhibits much higher in case of higher-order twist mode, 9.86 Hz due to the skewness of bridge deck which leads asymmetric situation of vibration. This implies the test bridge is under swinging vertically in fundamental flexure mode while the bridge is also flickered up and down laterally at 9.86 Hz. This is probably by asymmetric geometry of skewed deck. A detailed 3D beam-shell bridge models using finite elements are performed under a series of train loads for modal dynamic analyses. Thereby, the effect of skewness is examined to clarify the lateral flickering caused by asymmetrical geometry of bridge deck.

Recently there have been occurred many loss of life and extensive damage to social infrastructures due to moderate and strong earthquakes all over the world. In this research, major design factors have been evaluated for the establishment of the rational seismic design code of rectangular RC bridge piers. It was concluded from this study that the axial force ratio and the longitudinal steel ratio should be the most important influencing design parameter for the seismic displacement ductility. However those parameters are not considered in the confinement steel ratio of the KHBDS. Thus, the objective of this study is to propose a rational design equation for transverse reinforcements of rectangular RC bridge piers. New confinement steel ratio is proposed by introducing the effect of the axial force and the longitudinal steel to the current KHBDS. It is thought that these new codes could release the rebar congestion problem in the plastic hinge region of RC bridge piers which contribute to the enhancement of constructibility and economization for RC bridge construction.

There has been a strong demand on more economic and lower depth girder bridges for short and medium span range, PRECOM, which is a new type steel-concrete composite girder, has been developed to realize a more economic bridge system with a lower depth girder. In the PRECOM girder bridge, a steel plate girder is simply supported and then concrete form is hung to girder. Thus, the self-weight of the concrete is loaded to the steel girder. To increase the resistance of concrete in the lower casing against tensile stress, compressive force is introduced by prestressed tendon To evaluate the manufacturability and performances of the completed bridge, four 15-m girders and a bridge specimen with two 20m girders wvere constructed. The camber during the construction and introduction of an appropriate compressive force was evaluated. Dynamic data were obtained through the modal testing of the completed girders. Static loading test was also conducted to examine cracks and evaluate the decrease in stiffness and failure behavior under extreme conditions.

To design steel box girder bridge, designers have taken the classical load distribution coefficient methods. Due to the rapidly developing computer technique, steel box girder bridge is simply modeled as grillage method for analyzing the girder, or as fully finite element method for more accurate and detailed analysis. Recently, cruciform space frame method is developed for modeling and analyzing it more simply and easily compared with finite element method. So, this study for the examination of upper methods' characteristics loaded unit moment load and analyzed the distortional deflection with shell element method and cruciform space frame method, and for three span three girder steel box bridge, loading DB-24 loads, analyzed it by upper methods and compared the results.

H 형강은 시공성과 유지관리의 간편성으로부터 교량의 주형과 가설 구조물에 사용하는 경우가 증가하고 있다. 특히 H형강을 교량에 적용하는 경우 지점부의 부모멘트에 의해 지간장 20m 내외가 한계이고, 기존공법의 경우 콘크리트를 사용한 공법에 비해 큰 장점을 가지고 있지 못한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 교량의 장지간화가 가능한 가로거더공법을 개발하여 기존의 강교량의 문제점을 극복한 장지간 H형강 강합성 교량을 개발하고자한다. 여기서는 수치해석적 방법으로 주형과 주형이 연속화되는 시점을 변화시켜 내하력을 계산하고, 그 결과로 부터 합리적인 가로거더공법을 개발하고자한다.

In this study, a series of random field test and dynamic analysis in the time domain were carried out in order to find in the reason of fatigue damage of the main and the secondary members in the 3-span continuous steel plate girder railway bridge being under in service over 60 years. From the measured and the analyzed results, the stress distribution patterns were investigated for the members with fatigue damage. In addition, global and local numerical stress analysis was performed for the members damaged severely by corrosion, to estimate variation of the distribution by corrosion. Finally, a reasonable cut-off ratio in the steel plate railway bridge will be proposed by analyzing the equivalent stress ranges according the ratio.

합리적인 설계 온도하중을 산정하기 위하여, 강상자형교의 시험체가 실물 규모로 제작되었다. 박스단면의 크기는 폭 2.0m, 높이 2.0m, 길이 3.0m이며, 슬래브의 두께는 17 cm이다. 온도 게이지를 사용하여 1년간 온도를 측정하였다. 또한 인근에 시험체와 유사한 방향으로 설치된 같은 형식의 실교량에서도 같은 기간에 온도를 측정하였다. 교량시험체는 21지점, 실교량에서는 19지점에서 온도를 측정하고 각 측점에서 측정온도를 통계 처리하여 추세선과 표준 오차를 산정하고, Euro code에서 제시한 대기온도 $24^{\circ}C{\sim}38^{\circ}C$에서 각 지점의 유효온도를 산정하였다. 교량시험체 모형에서는 $35^{\circ}C$이상에서 Euro code와 실교량과 비교하여 유효온도가 $2^{\circ}C{\sim}3^{\circ}C$ 정도 높게 산정되었다. 제시된 시험체와 실교량에서 Euro code에 대한 유효온도의 상관계수는 87.4%, 93.2%로 계산되었다. 국내 도로교설계기준에 따르면 합성교에서 최고기온은 $40^{\circ}C$로 규정하고 있는데 이는 본 연구에서 산정된 실교량과 Euro code의 유효온도와 거의 근접하는 것으로 평가된다. 각 지역별 최고 온도에 대한 Contour map에서 산정한 대기온도별 최고온도와 본 연구에서 제시한 유효온도를 접목하면 국내 교량 설계 시 각 지역의 특성을 고려한 설계기준이 확립될 수 있을 것이다.
