A Method to Reduce Moment due to Time-Dependent Behavior of Bride Piers

장기 거동을 고려한 교각의 모멘트 감소 기법

The short piers of bridge which is constructed by cantilever method may not be flexible enough to accommodate longitudinal movement of box girders. The constraint effects of longitudinal movement of box girders can introduce large stresses, and consequently large moments into short piers. This study is aimed at proposing a method to reduce moment of short piers in bridge constructed by cantilever method. Numerical analyses are carried out depending on the parameters such as control force and height of piers. Numerical results of the study represent that long-term moment of piers can be controlled effectively by employing the proposed method.
