In the recent years, steel box girder bridges have been extensively used due to high bending stiffness, torsional rigidity, and rapid construction. Therefore, researches related to this girder bridge have been widely conducted. This paper investigates the effect of residual stresses and geometric imperfections on the load-carrying capacity of steel box girder bridges spanning 30 m and 50 m. A three - dimensional finite element model of the steel box girder with a closed section was developed and analyzed using ABAQUS software. Nonlinear inelastic analysis was used to capture the actual response of the girder bridge accurately. Based on the results of analyses, the superimposed mode of webs and flanges was recommended for considering the influence of initial geometric imperfections of the steel box model. In addition, 4% and 16% strength reduction rates on the load - carrying capacity of the perfect structural system were respectively recommended for the girders with compact and non-compact sections, whose designs satisfy the requirements specified in AASHTO LRFD standard. As a consequence, the research results would help designers eliminate the complexity in modeling residual stresses and geometric imperfections when designing the steel box girder bridge.

In this study, the optimization program is developed to provide preliminary designs of steel-box girder bridges with minimum cost. The advantages of steel-box girder deck, when comparing with other girder types, are higher torsional rigidity and better resistance against corrosion. To achieve more rational design, systematic design procedure is required, by which the design constraints on steel-box girder are satisfied and the design variables with minimum cost are obtained. In the Proposed optmum design Process, the design variables are forced to be selected from the available discrete value set. The efficiency of the developed program has been verified by companing with previous designed sections and the resulting optimum cost with discrete variables has been compared with those of continuous variables.

The intensity of train load in the railway bridges is relatively large and continues to repeat. Also, the speed of vehicles is very fast. For these reasons, analyses for dynamic response under train load are necessary in the railway bridges. In other words, the dynamic characteristics of steel-composite bridges under train loads should be investigated considering effects of dynamic responses such as vibrations, repeated displacements and acceleration of bridge members. Therefore, in this study, static and dynamic analyses for the steel box girder bridges and I-girder bridges are carried out. Based on analyses results, we investigated and compared dynamic response considering the impact factors of domestic and foreign design specifications.

최근 강박스거더교량 가로보와 박스거더 연결부에 니브레이스(Knee-brace) 설치가 일반화 되어있다. 니브레이스는 가로보-박스거더 연결부의 응력완화 및 횡변형 방지를 목적으로 설치되는 보강재나, 구조적 보강효과에 대해서는 아직 명확하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 유한요소해석을 통하여 니브레이스의 보강효과를 검토하였다. 가로보-박스거더 높이비와 니브레이스 유무를 변수로한 구조해석을 통하여 부재별 응력흐름, 응력수준과 가로보 처짐을 검토하였다. 그리고 수치해석결과의 비교를 통하여 니브레이스의 보강효과를 평가하였다. 유한요소해석 결과는 니브레이스가 박스거더-가로보 연결부의 보강재로서 응력완화 및 구조적 보강효과가 매우 낮음을 보이고 있다.

This paper presents an optimal decision model for minimizing the life-cycle cost of steel box girder bridges. The point is that it takes into account service life process as a whole, and the life-cycle costs include initial (design, testing, and construction) costs, maintenance costs and expected failure costs. The problem is formulated as that of minimization of expected total life-cycle cost with respect to the design variables. The optimal solution identifies those values of the decision variables that result in minimum expected total cost. The performance constraints in the form of flexural failure and shear failure are those specified in the design code. Based on extensive numerical investigations, it may be positively stated that the optimum design of steel box girder bridges based on life-cycle cost approach proposed in this study provides a lot more rational and economical design, and thus the proposed approach will propose the development of new concepts and design methodologies that may have important implications in the next generation performance-based design codes and standards.

본 연구에서는 연속거더교량에 적용되고 있는 가설공법을 이중합성 박스거더교에 적용하여 발생 단면력을 검토하고, 적용성 측면에서 개선사항을 도출하고자 하였다. 하부콘크리트의 타설높이 및 타설범위는 각각 이중합성단면에 대한 소성모멘트 및 부모멘트영역에 의하여 결정되었다. 검토 가설공법은 일반적인 가설조건을 고려하여 크레인 가설공법, 켄틸레버 가설공법, 압출가설공법 등을 대상으로 하였으며, 이중합성 박스거더 가설 전의 하부콘크리트 타설유무에 따라 두가지의 경우로 구분하여 각각 시공중에 발생하는 단면력을 검토하였다. 또한, 압출가설공법 적용시의 단면력 저감방안으로 압출노즈에 의한 가설방안을 검토하였으며, 가설거더에 대한 압출노즈의 길이비, 단위중량비, 휨강성비 등의 변화에 따른 단면력의 저감정도를 검토하였다. 압출노즈에 의한 가설공법은 이중합성 박스거더교량에도 유효하게 적용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In case of continuous steel box-girder bridges, the magnitude of the longitudinal tensile stress on concrete in internal support is larger than the tensile strength of concrete. In this paper, the parametric study was performed to present the effective magnitude of the longitudinal prestress for reducing the longitudinal tensile stress to decrease under the tensile strength of concrete. The parametric study is conducted with changing the steel box-girder section and the span length of bridge. Three dimensional finite element analyses are conducted with ABAQUS program. The behavior of the steel box-girder bridge with prestress is investigated through experimental works on a analogous steel box-girder bridge model, and their results are compared with those of analytical studies.

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.
