It is hard to guarantee the strict synchronization of all the jacking-up points in the integral jacking of a large-span continuous box girder bridge. This paper took the Hengliaojing Bridge as background, which need jacking up as an object with 295m length and more than 10,000tons weight, adopted 3D software to calculate the unsynchronized jacking-up working conditions, and studied the relationships between the unsynchronized vertical difference and the girder's deformation behaviour. The aim is to verify the maximum value of the unsynchronized vertical difference, and guide the construction and ensure safety. The monitoring system with its contents is introduced corresponding to the analysis. The results of the deck relative elevations prove that it is difficult to avoid the deck torsional deformation for jacking different; especially the side span shows more deformations for its smaller stiffness. The maximum difference is smaller than the limited value with acceptable stresses in the sections. The jacking heights of the pier in each construction step are controlled regularly according to the design. The shifting of the whole bridge in longitudinal direction is smaller than in transverse direction. The several beginning steps are the key to adjust their support reactions. This study is one parts of the fundamental research for the code "Technical specification for bridge jacking-up and reposition of China". The whole synchronous jacking project of the main bridge set a world record by the World Record Association for the whole bridge jacking project with the longest span of the world.

The Ting Kau Bridge in Hong Kong is a cable-stayed bridge comprising two main spans and two side spans. The bridge deck is supported by three towers, an end pier and an abutment. Each of the three towers consists of a single reinforced concrete mast strengthened by transverse cables and struts. The bridge deck is supported by four inclined planes of cables emanating from anchorages at the tower tops. In view of the heavy traffic on the bridge, and threats from typhoons and earthquakes originated in areas nearby, the dynamic behaviour of long-span cable-supported bridges in the region is always an important consideration in their design. Baseline finite element models of various levels of sophistication have been built not only to match the bridge geometry and cable forces specified on the as-constructed drawings but also to be calibrated using the vibration measurement data captured by the Wind and Structural Health Monitoring System. This paper further describes the analysis of axle loading data, as well as the generation of random axle loads and simulation of vibrations of the bridge using the finite element models. Various factors affecting the vehicular loading on the bridge will also be examined.

In past decades, a maximum standard vessel size for chemical tankers is not normally larger than 55,000 TDW due to the characteristic of chemical product shipment which is so variable but small quantity unlike single product carries such as crude oil tankers. These days, as demand of very large chemical tanker is rising due to the change of market trend of chemical product shipment, 75,000 TDW class chemical tanker has been developed. The newly developed vessel's structure has been designed based on CSR (Common Structural Rule) for double hull oil tankers (hereafter CSR) published by IACS (International Association of Classification Societies). However, due to the large difference from typical oil tankers, many items should be specially considered such as on deck transverse and corrugated bulkheads. In addition, two longitudinal bulkheads without upper stool have been constructed in order to maximise the number of cargo tanks and the volume of each cargo tanks. In this study, key word of the vessel has been briefly reviewed and the structural reliability of the proposed vessel has been investigated.

콘크리트 교량 바닥판은 건조수축 및 온도변화 등에 의하여 초기 일차균열이 발생하고, 사용기간 동안 반복되는 차량하중의 크기와 철근 간격 등에 의하여 초기 균열이 이방향 균열로 점차 진전하게 된다. 바닥판의 거동을 효율적으로 향상시키기 위해서는 보강방향에 대한 고려가 필수적이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 탄소섬유쉬트를 보강재로 사용한 경우의 보강된 바닥판에 대한 비선형 유한요소해석을 실시하였으며, 해석의 정확성을 높이기 위하여 보강된 바닥판의 경계조건과 재료성질을 시험조건과 부합될 수 있도록 모사하였다. 보강방향과 보강량에 대한 해석결과는 시험결과와 비교, 분석함으로써 정확성을 검증하였으며, 이와 함께 보강된 바닥판의 효율성을 검증하기 위하여 보강재량, 폭과 두께 등과 같은 보강변수에 의한 보강후의 구조적 효율성을 고찰하였다.

강바닥판 교량은 비교적 얇은 강판을 서로 용접에 의해 연결한 구조물로서 많은 양의 용접을 피할 수 없다. 강바닥판의 횡리브 복부판에서는 전단력과 비틀림 모멘트가 작용하는 동시에 종리브의 비틀림으로 인한 면내 면외 변형이 작용하기 때문에 종리브-횡리브 복부판-데크플레이트 교차부 및 횡리브복부판 컷아웃(슬릿)부에서 응력집중 현상이 두드러지게 발생하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 강바닥판 구조형식의 피로성능 향상 효과가 큰 교차부에 스캘럽을 두지 않는 동시에 종리브 내부에 횡리브 복부판면과 일치되게 다이아프램을 설치하면 컷아웃부 및 교차부에서의 응력집중 감소효과가 크며, 특히 다이아프램의 설치가 컷아웃부에서의 응력집중 감소효과에 큰 영향을 미치고 있는 연구결과를 바탕으로 다이아프램 상하부면 곡률반경을 대상으로 매개변수해석을 수행한 결과 피로성능에 영향이 큰 응력집중 감소효과가 큰 최적 다이아프램형상을 도출하였다. 또한 최적 다이아프램 형상을 바탕으로 피로성능 향상에 유리한 다이아프램 최적 설치위치를 도출하였다.

윤하중을 직접 받는 강바닥판교는 공용연수 증가에 따라 세로리브와 가로리브 교차부 주위 등의 구조상세 등에서 피로 균열발생 사례가 증가하고 있는데, 이러한 피로균열 억제방안으로는 바닥강판의 두께를 증가시키거나 세로리브 내부에 보강상세 적용 등이 효율적인 것으로 보고되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 연구에서 피로균열 발생이 빈번히 보고되고 있는 가로리브와 세로리브 연결부, 세로리브 및 가로리브 슬릿부를 대상으로 세로리브의 무보강상세 및 보강상세에 대한 구조해석을 수행하여 피로강도 향상을 위한 구조상세를 제안하고자 한다. 해석에서는 세로리브내의 벌크헤드 및 수직리브를 대상으로 형상 및 크기 변화, 부착위치를 변수로 하여 상세 구조해석을 수행하였다. 해석 결 과 보강상세가 있는 경우가 대상 구조상세부에서의 응력감소가 더 크며, 벌크헤드 상세보다는 수직리브 보강상세에서 피로강도 향상이 더 효율적인 것으로 나타났다.

This paper presents the design concept and operation results of float-off for FSO (340,000 DWT Class, ELF AMENAM KPONO Project) built on the ground, without dry dock facilities. It was the first attempt to build FSO, completely, on the ground and launch it using DBU (Double Barge Unit, which was connected by rigid frame structure.) The major characteristics of FSO, which are similar to general VLCC type hull, including topside structure, weigh 51,000 metric ton. In order to have sufficient stability during the deck immersion of DBU, while passing through a minimum water plane area zone, proper trim control was completed with LMC (Load Master Computer). The major features of the monitoring system include calculation for transverse bending moment, shear force, local strength check of each connector, based on component stress, and deformation check during the load-out and float-off. Another major concern during the operation was to avoid damages at the bottom and sides of FSO, due to motion & movement after free-floating; therefore, adequate clearances between DBU and FSO were to be provided, and guide posts were installed to prevent side damage of the DBU casings. This paper also presents various measures that indecate the connector bending moment, damage stability analysis, and mooring of DBU during float off.

The fatigue damage accumulation rates of horizontally curved thin walled box-girder bridge have been estimated from vehicle-induced dynamic stress history using rain flow cycle counting method in the time domain approach. The curved box-girder bridge has been numerically modeled using computationally efficient thin walled box-beam finite elements, which take into account the important structural actions like torsional warping, distortion and distortional warping in addition to the conventional displacement and rotational degrees of freedom. Vehicle model includes heave-pitch-roll degrees of freedom with longitudinal and transverse input to the wheels. The bridge deck unevenness, which is taken as inputs to the vehicle wheels, has been assumed to be a realization of homogeneous random process specified by a power spectral density (PSD) function. The linear damage accumulation theory has been applied to calculate fatigue life. The fatigue life estimated by cycle counting method in time domain has been compared with those found by estimating the PSD of response in frequency domain. The frequency domain method uses an analytical expression involving spectral moment characteristics of stress process. The effects of some of the important parameters on fatigue life of the curved box bridge have been studied.

To study the effects of corner braces on fatigue performance of the U-rib and roof weld in steel bridge decks, the fatigue experiment was carried out to compare characteristics of the crack shape with and without corner braces. The improvement of fatigue life and stress variation after setting corner braces were also analysed. Different parameters of corner brace sizes, arrangements, and detail types were considered in the FEM models to obtain stress distribution and variation at the weld. Furthermore, enhancement of the fatigue performance by corner braces was evaluated. The results demonstrated that the corner brace could improve the fatigue life of the U-rib and roof weld, which exerted even no influence on the crack shape. Moreover, stress of the roof weld was decreased and the crack position was transferred from the root weld to U-rib and corner brace weld. It was suggested no weld scallop should be drilled on the corner brace. A transverse rib with lower height which was set between U-ribs was favourable for improvement of fatigue performance.
