Abstract

Horizontally curved bridges are subjected to torsional loads by their vertical dead loads only as well as eccentric loads, which cause negative reactions at supports. In this paper, effects of bridge curvature on vertical reactions at supports are investigated for 48.8 m length simple span steel box girder bridges with elastomeric bearings by varying curvature angle from 0.49 to 1.35 rad. In order to expect magnitude and direction of reactions including possibility of negative reactions, reaction evaluation equations have been analytically developed by separating a superstructure of curved bridge into independent components. Concrete slabs and bottom flanges in steel box section are assumed geometrical annular sectors in area dimension, and top flanges and webs that have very narrow projected areas are assumed geometrical arcs in line dimension. Proposed equations have relatively simple forms and prediction values are on very good agreement with those from finite element analyses by difference of 1% order.

평면내 곡선교량은 편심하중뿐만 아니라 자중만으로도 비틀림하중을 받게 되고, 이는 지점부 부반력 발생의 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 경간장 48.8m를 가지는 단경간 곡선강박스 거더교량에 대해 내부곡률각도를 0.49~1.35rad으로 조정하면서 곡률효과에 따라 지점에서 발생하는 수직반력을 분석하였다. 부반력 발생가능성을 고려하여 반력 크기 및 방향을 예측하기 위해 곡선교량 상부구조를 각 독립된 요소로 분리하여 반력산정식을 해석적으로 개발하였다. 콘크리트 바닥판 및 강재 하부플랜지는 각각 면의 차원을 가지는 기학학적 환형섹터로, 수평면내에서 폭이 좁게 투영되어 나타나는 상부플랜지 및 복부판은 선의 차원을 가지는 기하학적 호로 가정되었다. 제안된 반력산정식의 형식은 비교적 단순하고 그 예측값은 유한요소해석으로 얻은 값과 비교하였을 때 오차가 1% 수준으로 잘 일치하였다.
