The time-dependent temperature distribution across the section in bridges is determined on the basis of the three-dimensional finite element analyses and numerical time integration in this study. The material properties which change with time and thermal stress of concrete are taken into account to effectively trace the early-age structural responses. Since the temperature distribution is nonlinear and depends upon many material constants such as the thermal conductivity, specific heat, hydration heat of concrete, heat transfer coefficients and solar radiation, three representative influencing factors of the construction season, wind velocity and bridge pavement are considered at the parametric studies. The validity of the introduced numerical model is established by comparing the analytical predictions with results from previous analytical studies. On the basis of parametric studies for four different bridge sections, it is found that the creep deformation in concrete bridges must be considered to reach more reasonable design results and the temperature distribution proposed in the Korean bridge design specification need to be improved.

In recent the construction of bridges having hollow sectional piers is gradually increasing since the hollow section is more effective than solid section in resistance against seismic load. It is, therefore, very important to understand the behavior of columns with hollow sections in seismic design. However, many past researches were concentrated only on the flexural deformability of them. In this study the shear characteristics of them have been studied with scale model tests. 7 models having different void and aspect ratios were designed and tested to investigate the effect of them on shear capacities. And then the validity of empirical equations to predict shear capacity was investigated compared with the test results. The test result 80 percent of the valid area of cross section should be adequate. And compared to the proposed four model the experimental shear capacities are in good agreement with the UCB.

The purpose of this study is to propose the more reasonable equation of bond strength of grout-filled splice sleeve. To accomplish this objective, total 60 full-sized specimens were tested under monotonic loading. The experimental variables are compressive strength of mortar, embedment length and size of reinforcing bars. Following conclusions are obtained; 1) If the adequacy of existing equations which estimate the bond strength of grout-filled splice sleeve are investigated, they underestimate the bond strength of grout-filled splice sleeve by 8-18%. Also the existing equations have a tendency to underestimate with decrease in the embedment length of reinforcing bars. 2) From the test result of bond failure, the equation which estimates the confining pressure of grout-filled splice sleeve was proposed by making multiple regression analyses of which independent variables are embedment length of reinforcing bars and compressive strength of mortar. This equation predicted the measured bond capacity of this test more accurately than existing equations and eliminated the deviation according to the embedment length of reinforcing bars.

Water binder ratio combine high-performance concrete shrinkage of less than 0.4 to determine the transformation to a total shrinkage of water to move outside and internal consumption of moisture due to drying shrinkage and autogenous shrinkage, and then, the relative humidity changes and strain to be approached by surface physics describe the relationship between self-desiccation and autogenous shrinkage was set. To verify the self-desiccation in the humidity shrinkage and humidity measurements performed, and the research model, Tazawa, CEB-FIP model than to let the measure and the most similar results in this study based on self-desiccation model, autogenous shrinkage didn't represent the linear shrinkage by the drying shrinkage of the external moving but exponential relationships, unlike with the nature and rapid in the early age properly describes the attributes in shrinkage could see. After this research to move moisture and to reflect the shrinkage model, temperature, moisture transfer, strain analysis by multi-physics model is very similar to the results of mock-up specimen measurements performed for this research, the value measured by the internal consumption of moisture, therefore self-desiccation and a multi-physics model considering autogenous shrinkage might be relevant.

In this study, a shear experiment was conducted to evaluate the structural performance of RC members according to the shape of web opening reinforcement. For a total of 4 RC members specimens, the main variables were with or without web openings, with or without web opening reinforcement, and shape of web opening reinforcement, respectively. In this study, a spiral web opening reinforcement with a mixture of square and octagonal shapes was proposed and compared with the existing band type. As a result of the experiment, the specimen with the proposed web opening reinforcement showed that the shear capacity and the energy dissipation capacity increased compared to other specimens. It was confirmed that the web opening reinforcement proposed in this study had a positive effect on the shear performance and crack control of RC members with web openings.

도로, 철도 등의 횡단통로, 오폐수관로, 지하배수관 등 연약지반에서 상재하중과 부등침하에 의한 파괴 위험을 줄이기 위해 구조적인 안전성과 내구성이 개선된 다양한 관로들이 활용되고 있다. 관은 매설특성에 따라 콘크리트관, 도관, 합성수지관, 덕타일 주철관, 파형강관, 유리섬유 강화 플라스틱과 폴리에스테르수지 콘크리트관 등의 종류로 구분된다(환경부, 2017). 수리설계 시 이러한 관의 단면 규모 결정 및 흐름 특성을 파악하기 위해 관수로 유량측정에 이용되는 Manning의 경험식을 이용하고 있으며, 관로의 주요 재질에 따른 다양한 조도계수가 제시되어 있다. 새로운 재질을 이용하여 제작된 관은 수리실험을 통해 조도계수를 결정하는 것이 바람직하지만, 조도계수 실험은 대규모의 실험시설과 유량공급이 요구되기 때문에 여러 한계가 있다. PE관의 경우, 미국의 ASTM 표준에 의해 저밀도 폴리에틸렌(LDPE), 선형 저밀도 폴리에틸렌(LLDPE), 고밀도 폴리에틸렌(HDPE) 등으로 분류되는데 본 연구에서는 HDPE 재질의 서로 직경이 다른 다중벽관 PE관을 대상으로 조도계수를 결정하기 위한 현장 실규모 수리실험을 수행하였다. 본 실험에서는 식생, 수로의 불규칙성, 수로노선, 침전과 세굴, 장애물, 계절적 변화, 부유물질과 소류사는 무시되며 표면조도, 관의 크기와 형상, 수위와 유량이 조도계수에 영향을 미치는 주요 인자라고 할 수 있다. 수리실험은 실물모형(Prototype)으로 한국농어촌공사 농어촌연구원의 대형수리모형실험장에서 수행되었으며. 길이 24 m, 직경 150 mm의 PE 관은 고정식 개수로, 직경 800 mm의 관은 대형유사순환수로에 각각 설치되었다. 관로의 전면에 차폐막을 설치하여 상류부 수위를 안정시킨 상태에서 실험을 수행하였고, 차폐막으로부터 하류방향으로 약 7 m(측정기준지점), 11 m, 13 m, 15 m, 17 m 떨어진 곳에서 각각 수위와 유속을 측정하였다. 실험 결과, φ150관은 직경대비 수심이 클수록 조도계수가 감소하는 경향이 나타났고, φ800관은 직경대비 수심의 변화에 따른 조도계수의 경향이 크게 드러나지 않았다. 결론적으로 PE관의 조도계수는 수심별로 변화하는 것으로 나타났으며, 특정 수심을 지나면 조도계수가 다시 감소할 것으로 판단된다.

Skid Resistance is a index to represent the friction between tire and road surface, which influences driving safety. Skid resistance varies with the conditions of tire, abrasion of road surface, vehicle speed, drying, wet and freezing condition of road surfaces. Especially, freezing occurs when temperature drops below $0^{\circ}C$ followed by snow or rain causes decrease of skid resistance. To recover the decreased skid resistance deicing work is applied. As a results of deicing works, freezing condition is changed into wet condition. However the wet road surfaces containing the remaining deicings agents may not show the skid resistance of normal wet condition. In this study, skid resistances in the condition of freezing, deicing process and deicing agents remained after snow-removal are evaluated. The test results, skid resistance recover quickly when Pre-wetted salt spreading and NaCl was used as deicing method. Skid resistance of Deicing agents remained on the road surface showed that concrete is higher than asphalt. superior effect. Recovery rate of skid resistance by comparison wet condition is 54~80%.

Frequency content of seismic waves observed in field seismic survey in Korea has almost not exceeded 4kHz(wave length 1m). The limited frequency content not only restricts the minimum size of objects which can be surveyed in seismic tomogrpahic application, but also makes a fundamental limit in the resolution of tomogram. This paper shows the resonable result obtained by confirmimg and resolving the problems which can be occured m measuring procedure for the small - sized section through field application. Seismic tomographic field survey was performed for a concrete construction for railroad bridge in Korea, and to this the tomographic measurements for the stone-build foundation construction for a bell house of church in Germany were compared.

Bending and axial compressive stresses are distributed across the whole upper flange of a box girder bridge which has the span-to-depth ratio (B/L) of below 0.5, according to Korea Bridge Design Specifications (Minister of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs, 2005). Shear lag phenomenon, however, can take place in the construction phase of cable-stayed bridge, in which stresses combining bending moment due to dead weight and cable vertical compression are induced. This study aims to analyze the effective width of flange over which composite stresses are given, which should be calculated during the construction phase of stiffening girder of single plane cable-stayed box girder bridge. The study results indicate that the full width of stiffening girder can be regarded as the effective flange width when the span-to-depth ratio for the deck is below 0.38. In other words, the area, where shear lag is taken into consideration, is larger than the width of box girder in single plane cable-stayed box girder bridges. Therefore, the current practice of considering the full width as the effective flange width regardless of changes of the span-to-depth ratio during the construction stage can produce an unsafe bridge. If the effective flange width is determined according to the single span structural system in the early stage of construction when the span-to depth ratio for the deck is high and composite stresses of every part expect each end of the bridge are calculated, it can result in a safe structural design. Since the span-to-depth ratio gradually decreases, however, it is appropriate to determine the effective width of flange on the basis of the full width and the cantilever structural system.
