Various PSC and steel-concrete composite railway bridges are being developed for short-medium spans with structural and economic efficiency. According to the design concept, the prestressed composite girder bridge has the advantages of being lightweight and having low girder depth, with the capacity for long spans. However, the dynamic behavior under a passing train is one of the critical issues concerning these railway bridges designed with more flexibility. Therefore, it is very important to evaluate the modal parameters before performing dynamic analyses. In this paper, real-scale prestressed composite girders were fabricated as a test model and modal testing was carried out to evaluate modal parameters including natural frequency and modal damping ratio. During the modal testing, a digitally controlled vibration exciter as well as an impact hammer was applied to obtain frequency-response functions, and the modal parameters were also evaluated after the fracture of test models. With application of reliable properties from modal tests, the estimation of dynamic performances of prestressed composite girder railway bridges can be obtained from various parametric studies on dynamic behavior under the passage of a moving train.

To analyzing the validity for using the stiffness ratio in evaluating edge stiffness effect of the composite girder bridges, modification factors are analyzed with changing girder spacing. The relation between stiffness ratio, loading type, girder spacing and modification factors is analyzed. From the results of comparing modification factors analyzed from the field loading test and the established design method with the modification factor analyzed from this study, it was concluded that evaluating the edge stiffness effect using stiffness ratio is possible.

Fiber Reinforced Polymer, FRP has a light weight, a high tensile strength based on design, non-electronic, non-magnetic, and rust-resistant feature, etc and many researches are being conducted recently on FRP in the construction area. Among them, GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) is excellent in price competitiveness and is widely being used. However, since GFRP has a relative low modulus of elasticity and causes excessive deflection, the section must be large to be used as a structural component and an investigative review must be carried out in design to set the limit for deflection by the use load. Therefore, in order to solve the mentioned technical problems, this study suggested a section of a module form such that application of a large-scale section is possible. Also, to secure the low rigidity of FRP, this study developed a new FRP+ concrete composite girder form that confined the concrete. To identify the structural movement of the developed FRP+ concrete composite girder, shear strength test was carried out.

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.

The objective of this research aims at improving the structural and economical efficiency of small and medium-span reinforced concrete bridge slab with the Inverted-T girders (hereinafter, called as IT). This IT method has an advantage over minimizing the construction process which could cause environmental pollution and traffic congestion. Especially it is thought that this new composite bridge slab with IT girders has better aesthetic view and visibility than existing old bridges, and is also a good methodology to solve labor shortage problems due to coming aging society. Therefore, this IT method should be one of very effective construction technologies to improve the constructibility and to reduce the construction cost.

최근 현장타설 바닥판의 대안으로 강합성 바닥판을 이용하여 바닥판의 공용년수를 증진시키고 공기 단축 및 시공의 간편성, 교통흐름의 원활화등을 위한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존 I형강 매입형 강합성 바닥판을 기본으로 한 새로운 형식의 초간편 강합성 바닥판을 제시하여 거동패널의 거동에 대해 연구하였다. 하부강판과 I형강의 용접량의 변화, I형강의 복부에 유공 유무, 유공의 위치변화에 대한 특성을 파악하였다 이때 H형강의 상부 플랜지는 강판과 용접된 것으로 가정하였으며, 가설시 합성전 단면에 대한 거동 분석이므로 하중은 강판, I형강, 콘크리트의 자중만 고려되었다. 연구결과, 하부강판과 I형강의 용접길이 변화시 전체용접에 비해 30%용접을 수행시 중앙부 단면에서 최대 휨 인장응력이 증가하는 결과를 보였으며, I형강 복부에 유공이 있을시 유공이 없는 경우 보다 처짐량이 약간 증가함을 확인하였다. 또한 I형강 복부의 유공 위치를 변화시킨 결과 거더패널 강바닥판의 거동에는 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 나타났다.
