Prestressed composite girder with concrete infilled steel tubes(PSC-CFT girder) is new type of bridge girder which enhances the resisting capacities due to the double composite action of PSC composite girder and concrete infilled tube. The flexural behaviors of PSC-CFT girder in the negative moment regions are investigated based on the experimental observations recently performed on two of 3.6m long specimens. The mechanical and structural roles and failure mechanism of the composite action are discussed through comparing the test results with those numerically predicted by the three methods of one and three-dimensional nonlinear finite element analysis, and section analysis method.

Prestressed composite girder with concrete infilled steel tubes(PSC-CFT girder) is new type of bridge girder which enhances the resisting capacities due to the double composite action of PSC composite girder and concrete infilled tube. The flexural behaviors of PSC-CFT girder in the positive moment regions are investigated based on the experimental observations recently performed on two of 4.4m long specimens. The mechanical and structural roles and failure mechanism of the composite action are discussed through comparing the test results with those numerically predicted by the three methods of one- and three-dimensional nonlinear finite element analyses, and section analysis method.

Recently, many studies about a high-strength concrete and composite structures are being progressed to get the more economic and stable result in the construction of structure all over the world. One of those studies is about CFTA(Concrete Filled and Tied Steel Tubular Arch) girder that applies an arch structure and a pre-stressed structure to CFT(Concrete Filled Steel Tubular) Structure which is filled with a concrete and improve the stiffness and strength of the structure by the confinement effect of fillers to maximize the efficiency of structure and economic. In this study, non-linear behavior of CFTA girders filled with a general concrete and the high-strength concrete respectively were analyzed by using ABAQUS 6.5-1 and results were compared.

강관의 내부에 콘크리트를 충전한 콘크리트 충전 강관 구조(CFT 구조, Concrete Filled Steel Tubular Structure)는 강재와 콘크리트의 단점을 상호 보완하고, 장점을 극대화 할 수 있다는 이점 때문에 최근 실제 구조물의 시공에 적용하는 사례가 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 이와 같은 CFT 거더의 장점을 살리면서 CFT 거더보다 더 뛰어난 경제적, 구조적 효율성을 얻기 위해 기존의 CFT 구조에 아치 형식과 프리스트레스를 도입한 CFTA(Concrete Filled and Tied Tubular Arch) 거더에 관한 연구가 현재 진행중이다. 본 연구에서는 CFTA 거더의 현장 실험과의 비교를 위해 ABAQUS 6.5-1을 이용하여 CFTA 거더의 유한요소 해석을 수행하였고, 이를 바탕으로 구조물의 선형거동을 분석하였다. 또한 구조물의 위험도 분석을 위해 본 구조물의 가장 약점으로 지적되고 있는 외부로 노출되어 있는 긴장재의 차량 충돌에 의한 사고를 가정하여 이를 고려한 유한 요소 해석을 수행하여 CFTA 구조물의 동적 및 정적 안전성 평가를 수행하고 그 결과를 분석하였다.

A new bridge system described in this paper uses concrete-filled steel tube (CFT) girders as a replacement for conventional girders. Experimental investigations were carried out to comprehend the flexural behavior of CFT girder. Specimens were manufactured considering several parameters such as the strength of filling material, the eventual presence and number of inner shear connectors to evaluate the bending bearing capacity of CFT girder. The experimental investigation consisted of designing and constructing a test specimen and loading it to collapse in bending to check the applicability of the system. Test results showed that concrete filled steel tube girders have good ductility and maintain their strength up to the end of the loading. The stiffening effect of the ㄱ-shaped perfobond rib is determined to contribute relatively to the increase of the bending bearing capacity.

Interface behavior and confining effects of concrete-infilled steel tube (CFT) composite beam were investigate based on the experimental observations and numerical analyses. For this purpose, laboratory four-points bending tests were performed for the two test specimens of 1,000mm long CFT composite beams. The test beams were made of ${\phi}110mm$ and 4.5mm thick steel tube and 10mm thick steel web and bottom flange. Therefore, concrete infilled in steel tube was in compression through the entire cross section due to the web and bottom flange. Two end section conditions, with end section cap and without end section cap, were considered in experiments to monitor the relative slip displacement at ends and induce confining effects at center. In numerical aspects, finite element analysis considering steel-concrete interface behavior was performed and compared to the experimental results.

CFT(Concrete Filled Steel Tubular) Structure filled steel tubes with a concrete improves the stiffness and strength of the structure by the confinement effect of fillers. CFTA(Concrete Filled and Tied Steel Tubular Arch) girder is a new type structure that applies an arch structure and a pre-stressed structure to CFT Structure to maximize the efficiency of structure and economic. One of conspicuous characteristics of CFTA girder is exposed tendon and that is pointed out as the weak point of this girder. Therefore in this study, safety estimation for the exposed tendon is performed and dynamic analysis is also performed by the collision numerical simulation. For analyzing this model, ABAQUS 6.5-1 was used.

This paper presents an experimental study on the structural behavior of composite CFT truss girder bridge with full depth precast panels. The length of span is 20,000 mm. The CFT truss girder is a tubular truss composed of chord members made of concrete-filled and hollow circular tubes. To determine fundamental structural characteristics such as the strength and deformation properties of composite CFT truss girder bridge, static and dynamic tests were conducted. The natural frequencies calculated by the FEM are in good agreement with experimental results obtained from dynamic test. Bracing have only a small effect on the natural frequencies of composite CFT truss girder bridge as indicated by the FEM results. The yield strength and deformation of the composite CFT truss girder bridges were investigated through a static bending test. Besides, the test results showed that uniform distribution of shear connectors can be applicable in composite CFT truss girder bridges.
