The present, most of bridges have been constructed with RC piers in Korea. But the construction of bridges with RC piers is limited to certain working environment and weather that give rise to some series trouble such as weak constructability, quality deterioration and rising of the cost of construction. For this reason, the construction tend to focus on the developing of more effective and economical construction methods. Of all methods, prefabricated precast segment piers have been examined more extensively, it has become a solution of some problems like traffic congestion that usual site placing methods have. The Korea government has the already issued specification earthquake effect. But the existing seismic specification are inapplicable to bridges with prefabricated precast segment piers. This study analyzes structural behabviors of the RC model, prestressted pier moel, the prefabricated precast segment pier with no shearduct model and the prefabricated segment piers with shearduct and changed post tensioning force.

본 고에서는 현재 설계 완료 상태에 있는 서대해대교 사장교의 내풍설계를 위한 풍동실험을 중심으로 풍동실험의 계획단계에서부터 제작방법, 교량가설 지점에서의 기류형태에 대한 MODELING 방법, 풍동실험의 전반적 방법, 난류상태에서의 실험결과 등을 소개하였다. Computer로부터 계산된 고유진동수를 비교한 결과, 그 값이 잘 일치함으로써 모형제작이 우수한 것으로 판단되었다. 교량 자체의 안정성은 100년 빈도 풍속을 기준으로 안전율이 약 2.4를 유지함으로써 매우 안정한 것으로 입증되었고, Vortex Shedding 진동현상도 보이지 않음으로써 교형단면 형상은 적절히 선정되었음이 밝혀졌다. 따라서, 본 실험에서 사용된 방법 및 경험은 향후 건설될 장대교에 대한 내풍설계용 풍동실험에 많은 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.

The approach slab plays an important role in the driving comfort of the connection section on a bridge. On the other hand, the approach slab only calculates the section force of a simple beam, and does not analyze the behavior. In this study, the unsupported length and settlement of approach slabs of IPM Bridges were examined using structural analysis. First, the section force was calculated by designing a simple beam, according to the length of the approach slab. The structural analysis was conducted to examine the behavior of the unsupported length and settlement. As the result, the bending moment decreased when the unsupported length was increased, and the bending moment increased when the settlement was increased. In addition, the design section force was estimated to be larger than the force of structural analysis, and the design of the approach slab according to the design guideline showed no problem in stability. Nevertheless, the vertical displacement exceeded the maintenance criterion of a 1/200 curve when the settlement exceeded 10 mm regardless of the unsupported length. Therefore, excessive settlement occurs in the reinforced earth retaining wall supporting the approach slab, and the design bending moment may be exceeded. Therefore, strict management is required.

인간생활을 하면서 하천을 건너다니기 위해 많은 교량을 설치하여 이용하고 있으며, 현재도 어느 지역 언 하천에선가 교량을 건설 중에 있다. 이러한 교량을 설치할 때 교량의 교각을 설치하는 위치는 경제성이나 구조의 설계 안전성에 의해 노선을 결정하고 설치하고 있다. 물론 하천설계기준이나 도로설계요령에 의하면 설치기준이나 세굴 등에 대한 고려사항을 제시하고 있고 이를 맞추기 위해 노력하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 설계기준에서의 제안은 대부분 일반 직선하천에서 구해진 공식이나 경험에 의해 나타내어진 값이다. 따라서 수리현상이 불규칙적이고 복잡한 합류부에 적용하기에는 다소 역부족이다. 본 실험 연구에서는 합류부를 지닌 하천에서의 교각 설치 위치에 따른 세굴의 영향 및 합류각도에 따른 영향을 분석하기 위해 수리실험을 통해 결과를 도출하고자 하였으며, 그 결과 합류되는 각도에 따라 교각의 최대세굴심이 큰 차이를 나타내고 있으나, 합류부를 지닌 수로에서의 세굴심은 유속이 가장 빠른 곳에서 최대세굴심이 나타나지 않으며 유속보다 접근각도 및 흐름에 의한 하향류에 의해 영향을 받기 때문에 기존의 공식에 의해 계산할 수 없으며 실험을 통한 계산을 하거나 가급적 하천의 중앙부에 설치하는 것을 피해야 할 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, the optimization of frictional bearings that applied to improve the seismic performance of conventional bridges were conducted. The nonlinear dynamic analysis of steel bridges and concrete bridges are carried out with the El Centro and artificial earthquake motions, and the reponses of the bridges were optimized by genetic algorithm. The object functions were considered with two parameters, such as shear forces and displacements at bearing, and the optimum object functions were searched by varying the weighting factors of the two parameters. As results, in case of the steel bridges, the optimum results were obtained when larger weight factor was imposed to the shear force. However, in case of concrete bridges, larger weight factor was need to the displacement for optimum results.

The purpose of this study is development of bridge design guidelines in Kangwondo mountain area. Much damages heve been wrought by Typhoon Rusa(2002), Maemi(2003), Ewinniar(2006) and severe rain storm in July 2006 in Kangwondo mountain area. The partial cause of these much damages are not consider the regional and geomorphologic condition of river in Kangwondo mountain area. Most of the bridge damages were caused by severe wash out the foundation of pier and abutment. As other reasons, dead trees, branches of the trees and floating materials were catched by pier and deck which make difficult or cut off the flow. Design guidelines are presented by analysis the types and reasons of damages of the disaster.

Precast/Prestressed concrete segmental bridges with moderate range of span length normally have a constant section height for economic segment manufacturing. Inside sectional dimension is often controlled for design of non-prismatic section between supports when variable stiffness is required. It is usual, in the preliminary design stage, to adopt trial bridge sections by past experience or by approximately estimated member forces. Three bridge models of different member stiffness have been selected to investigate flexural stiffness effects on member forces for preliminary design stage. The selected bridge stiffness has been determined by the flexibility index from review of the practically usable sections.

The conventional design of prestressed concrete box girder bridges has been based on the linear elastic analyses using simplified geometric models. To overcome the restriction involved in the simplifications, a macro element for the rational analysis of prestressed concrete box girder bridges with variable cross sections is incorporated in the present analysis. Through the adoption of nonlinear material models, the behaviour of prestressed box bridges up to ultimate loading stage can be examined. The time dependent material models included in the present macro element code enable to predict the long term behaviour of prestressed concrete box girder bridges. The proposed macro element code with the nonlinear material models and time dependent routines can be efficiently used for the realistic analysis of prestressed concrete box girder bridges with arbitrary shapes.

Recently, the concrete-steel hybrid extradosed bridge has been proposed as alternative bridge type at long span site. The hybrid extradosed bridge adopts light orthogonal deck girder instead of heavy concrete deck girder at the center span of bridge, and it enables to construct long-span bridge. And also, for this bridge type the decrease of self-weight of girder enables to reduce girder depth and side span length of extradosed bridge, so its type has more efficient structural behavior and makes it possible to perform optimal bridge design. Therefore, it is very important to set up the procedure and parameters of optimal design for concrete-steel hybrid extradosed bridge. In this study, the effects of design parameters (the variation of pylon height, bridge deck depth and orthogonal deck girder length) are discussed. And numerical analysis and sensitivity analysis are carried out according to these parameters. And design weight values about these parameters are quantitatively suggested to reflect characteristics of concrete-steel hybrid bridge.

In this paper, the live load model for the design of high-speed railway bridge is analyzed by statistic and probabilistic methods and the safety level that is given by the load factors of the load combination is analyzed. This study is a part of the development of the limit state design method for the railway bridge, and the train data collected from the Gyeongbu high-speed railway for about one month are utilized. The four different statistical methods are applied to estimate the design load to match the bridge design life and the results are compared. In order to examine the safety level that the design load combination of the railway bridge gives, the reliability indexes are determined and the results are analyzed. The load effect from the current design live load for the high-speed rail bridge which is 0.75 times of the standard train load is came out greater than at least 30-22% that from the estimated load from the measured data. If it is judged based on the ultimate limit state, there is a possibility of additional reduction of the safety factors through the reliability analysis.
