강재형 모노셀 신축이음장치 성능 연구

A Study on Performance of Steel Monocell Expansion Joints

Abstract

도로교의 신축이음장치 성능시험에 있어 최근에는 많은 연구가 진행되어 있지만, 항공기 활주로 연결 교량에 있어서 국내에 적용사례가 전무하고 성능시험에 대한 기초자료가 없는 상황이다. 본 연구는 활주로 연결 교량이 건설되어있는 인천공항 2단계 확장공사현장에 국내 최초로 적용된 강재형 모노셀 신축이음장치의 성능평가를 위해 전산해석과 KS F 4425기준에 근거하여 수축 신장 및 반복하중시험을 실시하였다. 시제품 제작 전 설계 문서에 기초하여 Midas 해석프로그램으로 전산 분석하였고 시제품을 제작하여 2001년 KS F 4425기준에 근거하여 완제품 성능시험을 시행하였다. 국내 교량의 하중재하시험에 대한 기술 기준은 대부분 차량에 대한 것이고 항공기에 대한 선례가 없어 인천공항공사에 출입하는 항공기 중에서 축하중이 최대치인 F급 $468.4kN/m^2$를 보수적으로 적용하여 200만회 반복재하시험을 진행하였다. 완제품 결과 제품에는 육안검사로 이상 유 무가 관찰되지 않아 충분한 사용성 및 내구성을 확보하였다고 판단된다. 수축 신장의 경우 2,500회 반복 시험 후 KS F 4425 기준에 따른 육안검사로 이상 유 무가 관찰되지 않아 충분한 신축성을 확보하였다고 판단된다. 본 연구의 결과는 선례가 없는 항공기에 대한 신축이음장치의 성능시험에 있어 유용한 현장 시험 자료 및 전산 해석 결과가 참고자료 활용에 가치가 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Studies have been made on performance evaluation of expansion joint systems for an ordinary highway or road bridge. However little study has been made for runway connection bridges at airports. A study on performance evaluated from computer code analysis and shrinkage, extension, and compression repetition tests based on KS F 4425 is conducted to a newly developed expansion joint system which has been installed in a runway connection bridge at Incheon Airport Extension 2 Construction Site. The MIDAS computer code is used to analyze the performance before the manufacture of the mock-up of expansion joint system on the basis of design requirements. Tests based on the KS F 4425 of 2001 year-version are conducted for the mock-up. Domestic codes and standards to validate the performance of the expansion joint system in a connection bridge have been developed for a vehicle. However the expansion joint system tested in this study is installed in a runway connection bridge for an aircraft. Conservatively the heaviest one among airplanes departing and landing at Incheon Airport is assumed level-F $468.4kN/m^2$ and adopted for the tests and analyses in this study. KS F 4425 method is selected for the shrinkage, extension, and compression repetition tests. No remarkable problem was observed for the 2,500-cycle shrinkage and extension and two million-cycle repeatition load tests. The results of this study are expected to contribute to establishment of code and standard for the performance validation of an expansion joint system installed in a runway connection bridge for an aircraft by providing performance test results and computer analysis results based on finite element methods.
