Controlling vibrations and noise in steel box girders is important for reducing noise pollution and avoiding discomfort to residents of dwellings along bridges. The fundamental approach to solving this problem involves first identifying the main path of transmission of the vibration energy and then cutting it off by using targeted measures. However, this requires an investigation of the characteristics of flow of vibration energy in the steel box girder, whereas most studies in the area have focused on analyzing its single-point frequency response and overall vibrations. To solve this problem, this study examines the transmission of vibrations through the segments of a steel box girder when it is subjected to harmonic loads through structural intensity analysis based on standard finite element software and a post-processing code created by the authors. We identified several frequencies that dominated the vibrations of the steel box girder as well as the factors that influenced their emergence. We also assessed the contributions of a variety of vibrational waves to power flow, and the results showed that bending waves were dominant in the top plate and in-plane waves in the vertical plate of the girder. Finally, we analyzed the effects of commonly used stiffened structures and steel-concrete composite structures on the flow of vibration energy in the girder, and verified their positive impacts on energy regionalization. In addition to providing an efficient tool for the relevant analyses, the work here informs research on optimizing steel box girders to reduce vibrations and noise in them.

강사장교의 거더와 주탑은 축력과 모멘트를 동시에 받는 보-기둥 부재이기 때문에 단일 힘을 고려하는 일반도로교의 내하율 산정식은 강사장교의 거더와 주탑에 적용할 수 없다. 현재, 사장교의 거더와 주탑에 적용 가능한 이론적인 내하율 산정방법은 아직 정립되지 않았다. 본 논문에서는 축력과 모멘트를 동시에 받는 부재의 상관공식을 적용하여 강사장교 거더와 주탑의 내하율을 산정하기 위한 식을 제안하였다. 영향선해석을 수행하여 각 부재에 압축력 최대, 정 및 부모멘트 최대의 경우에 활하중 재하 형태를 결정하였고 각 부재의 내하율 산정절차를 정리하였다. 제안된 내하율 산정방법의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 실교량 모델인 돌산대교에 대한 적용예를 제시하였다. 일반도로교의 내하율 산정식은 돌산대교 거더와 주탑의 내하율을 과대평가 하였으며, 제안된 내하율 산정식은 축력과 모멘트를 동시에 지지하는 사장교 거더와 주탑의 거동을 적절히 반영하였다.

최근 세계적으로 FRP 복합재료를 이용한 다양한 연구가 진행 중에 있다. 본 연구 과제중 가격 경쟁력을 위해 유리 섬유를 이용한 신개념의 FRP+콘크리트 합성 거더 모듈을 제안하고 장경간 교량에 적용될 수 있도록 하중 재하실험을 수행한 바 있다. 실험 결과 콘크리트 충진으로 인하여 성능이 현저하게 개선되는 것으로 평가되었다. 본 연구에서는 소형화된 모듈의 FRP+콘크리트 합성거더에 대하여 거동을 해석하고 실험결과와 비교, 분석하였다. 또한, 큰 단면을 위해 모듈화된 FRP 거더 4개를 연결하여 어떠한 거동을 보이는지 예측해 보았다. 해석을 위해 FRP 거더면끼리는 충분한 접촉강도를 가지고 있으므로 완전 부착으로 가정하였다. 그 결과 콘크리트가 충진되지 않은 FRP 거더는 처짐 허용량을 초과하였지만, 콘크리트가 충진된 FRP 거더는 상대적으로 적은 처짐량을 보여 주여 충진된 FRP거더를 실제 구조물에 사용되더라도 추가 보완 연구를 통해 처짐으로 인한 사용성의 문제를 해결 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Steel-concrete composite structures have been extensively used in building, bridges, and other civil engineering infrastructure. Shear stud connectors between steel and concrete are essential in composite members to guarantee the effectiveness of their behavior in terms of strength and deformability. This study focuses on investigating the shear stiffness of headed studs embedded in several types of concrete with wide range of compressive strength, and their effects on the elastic behavior of steel-concrete composite girders were evaluated. Firstly, totally 206 monotonic push-out tests from the literature were reviewed to investigate the shear stiffness of headed studs embedded in various types of concrete (NC, HPC, UHPC etc.). Shear stiffness of studs is defined as the secant stiffness of the load-slip curve at 0.5V_u, and a formulation for predicting defined shear stiffness in elastic state was proposed, indicating that the stud diameter and the elastic modulus of steel and concrete are the main factors. And the shear stiffness predicted by the new formula agree well with test results for studs with a diameter ranging from 10 to 30 mm in the concrete with compressive strength ranging from 22.0 to 200.0MPa. Then, the effects of shear stiffness on the elastic behaviors of composite girders with different sizes and under different loading conditions were analyzed, the equations for calculating the stress and deformation of simply supported composite girders considering the influence of connection's shear stiffness were derived under different loading conditions using classical linear partial-interaction theory. As the increasing of shear stiffness, the stress and deflection at the most unfavorable section under partial connected condition tend to be those under full connected condition, but the approaching speed decreases gradually. Finally, the connector's shear stiffness was recommended for fully connection in composite girders with different dimensions under different loading conditions. The findings from present study may provide a reference for the prediction of shear stiffness for headed studs and the elastic design of steel-concrete composite girder.

Shear studs are often used to connect steel girders and concrete deck to form a composite bridge system. The application of precast concrete deck to steel-concrete composite bridges can improve the strength of decks and reduce the shrinkage and creep effect on the long-term behavior of structures. How to ensure the connection between steel girders and concrete deck directly influences the composite behavior between steel girder and precast concrete deck as well as the behavior of the structure system. Compared with traditional multi-I girder systems, a twin-I girder composite bridge system is more simplified but may lead to additional requirements on the shear studs connecting steel girders and decks due to the larger girder spacing. Up to date, only very limited quantity of researches has been conducted regarding the behavior of shear studs on twin-I girder bridge systems. One convenient way for steel composite bridge system is to cast concrete deck in place with shear studs uniformly-distributed along the span direction. For steel composite bridge system using precast concrete deck, voids are included in the precast concrete deck segments, and they are casted with cast-in-place concrete after the concrete segments are erected. In this paper, several sets of push-out tests are conducted, which are used to investigate the heavier of shear studs within the voids in the precast concrete deck. The test data are analyzed and compared with those from finite element models. A simplified shear stud model is proposed using a beam element instead of solid elements. It is used in the finite element model analyses of the twin-I girder composite bridge system to relieve the computational efforts of the shear studs. Additionally, a parametric study is developed to find the effects of void size, void spacing, and shear stud diameter and spacing. Finally, the recommendations are given for the design of precast deck using void for twin I-girder bridge systems.

Steel box girders are popular to the Practicing engineers for the its large Pure torsional constant. But closed box girders at-e susceptible to the eccentric loading due to the distortion of the cross section. Distorton of the box girder develops the warping normal stress and transverse flexural stress in the cross section and their magnitudes can be large unless internal diaphragms are installed sufficiently. In this study, stiffness matrix and equivalent nodal force vector are formulated on the basis of displacement method. Shape functions are directly derived from the homogeneous solution of the governing differential equation of the distortion. New finite element formulations were coded into a computer program. Several numerical examples were presented to show the validity of developed program.

A new bridge system described in this paper uses concrete-filled steel tube (CFT) girders as a replacement for conventional girders. Experimental investigations were carried out to comprehend the flexural behavior of CFT girder-slab deck composite section. The experimental investigation consisted of designing and constructing a test specimen and loading it to collapse in bending to check the applicability of the system. The test results showed that concrete filled steel tube girders have good ductility and maintain its strength up to the end of the loading. In the test, the flexural behavior of each specimen of CFT girder-deck composite section is identified.

To the installed CWR (Continuously Welded Rail) on steel plate girder bridges without ballast, shoes were replaced by the shoe for reduced axial force. During 9 months, from summer to winter, expansion by a temperature on girders, axial forces by a temperature on CWR, etc. are tested and the results are evaluated. Also, with the numerical analysis, the results - axial forces by a temperature on CWR, deformations of girders, etc. are compared and evaluated. From the longitudinal displacement on girders, occurred by run of trains, because of looking for the stability, the bearings for reducing axial forces are applied to the railway bridges. It is verified that the bearings for reducing axial forces disperse the axial forces by a temperature from the measurement of the forces on CWR of plate girder bridges,.

The first diagonal cracking and ultimate shear load of reinforced girder made of ultra high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) were investigated in this paper. Eleven girders were tested in which eight girders failed in shear. A simplified formulation for the first diagonal cracking load was proposed. An analytical model to predict the ultimate shear load was formulated based on the two bounds theory. A fiber reinforcing parameter was constituted based on the random assumption of steel fiber uniform distribution. The predicted values were compared with the conventional predictions and the test results. The proposed equation can be used for the first cracking status analysis, while the proposed equations for computing the ultimate shear strength can be used for the ultimate failure status analysis, which can also be utilized for numerical limit analysis of reinforced UHPFRC girder. The established fiber reinforcing theoretical model can also be a reference for micro-mechanics analysis of UHPFRC.

현재의 AASHTO LRFD 및 Eurocode 3 기준은 수평보강 플레이트거더의 휨강도를 과소 평가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 웨브보강으로 인한 웨브-플랜지 상호작용을 적절히 고려치 않는 것에 그 원인이 있다. 즉, 웨브 보강 시 압축플랜지의 회전을 구속하는 효과가 증가하여 압축플랜지의 좌굴강도가 증가한다. 또한 압축플랜지와 수평보강재가 웨브의 회전을 구속함으로써 웨브의 일정 영역이 항복강도에 도달하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 수평보강재로 1단 보강된 플레이트 거더에 대해 압축플랜지의 좌굴강도 증가와 웨브의 실제 응력분포를 고려하여 휨강도를 합리적으로 평가하기 위한 모델을 제안하였다. 일반강(SM490) 및 고강도강(HSB800) 플레이트거더에 대해 비선형해석으로부터 휨강도를 평가하고 본 제안 모델의 적용성을 분석하였다.
