'Distortional buckling' is one of the predominant buckling types that may occur in a steel-concrete composite box beam (SCCBB) under a negative moment. The key factors, which affect the buckling modes, are the torsional and lateral restraints of the bottom plate of a SCCBB. Therefore, this article investigates the equivalent lateral and torsional restraint rigidity of the bottom plate of a SCCBB under a negative moment; the results of which show a linear coupling relationship between the applied forces and the lateral and/or torsional restraint stiffness, which are not depended on the cross-sectional properties of a SCCBB completely. The mathematical formulas for calculating the lateral and torsional restraint rigidity of the bottom plate can be used to estimate: (1) the critical distortional buckling stress of SCCBBs under a negative moment; and (2) the critical distortional moment of SCCBBs. This article develops an improved calculation method for SCCBBs on an elastic foundation, which takes into account the coupling effect between the applied forces and the lateral and/or torsional restraint rigidity of the bottom plate. This article analyzes the accuracy of the following calculation methods by using 24 examples of SCCBBs: (1) the conventional energy method; (2) the improved calculation method, as it has been derived in this article; and (3) the ANSYS finite element method. The results verify that the improved calculation method, as it has been proved in this article, is more accurate and reliable than that of the current energy method, which has been noted in the references.

In this study, the equivalent plate model is developed using a finite element method(FEM) based on the first order shear deformation theory(FSDT). The substructure synthesis method is used to consider the control surface. For the verification of the equivalent model, the results of free vibration analysis are compared with the ones of 3D wing structure modeled by using the MSC/NASTRAN.

현재 국내에서 설계되고 있는 40~70 m 지간의 강도로교 90% 이상이 박스거더교 형식이며 박스거더교는 휨 강성과 비틀림 강성이 뛰어나 장경간이나 곡선을 갖는 교량 형식으로 적합할 뿐만 아니라 가설현장에서의 작업을 최소화 할 수 있어 현장 안전관리 면에서도 유리한 구조형식이다. 그러나 박스거더는 상하 플랜지와 복부판이 수직, 수평보강재로 보강되는 구조로 부재량과 용접량이 많이 소요되어 비경제적인 교량 형식으로 많이 지적되어 왔다. 따라서, 미국이나 일본에서는 상대적으로 부부재를 줄일 수 있는 보다 경제적인 플레이트거더교가 일반적으로 적용되고 있다. 이러한 플레이트거더교의 한 형식인 소수주거더교는 강합성교량의 합리화를 위해 많이 채용되는 형식으로, 주거더 간격을 종래의 3 m 정도에서 2배 정도인 6 m 이상으로 증가하여 주거더의 개수를 최소화시키는 경제적인 교량형식이다. 또한, 거더 단면의 단순화를 위하여 거더의 복부판에 부착되는 수평보강재와 수직보강재를 최대한 생략할 수 있다. 2주거더교는 소수주거더교의 대표적인 형식으로, 유효폭 10 m 전후의 교량에 적합하여 프랑스를 중심으로 유럽에서는 1960년대부터 본격적으로 개발되어왔다. 국내에서는 소수주거더교 적용시 안전율 확보를 위해 유럽이나 일본 등에 비해 많은 강재량을 사용하고 있으며, 설계자들의 친밀도 부족과 박스거더교에 비해 복잡한 설계 등과 같은 여러가지 실무적용 차원에서 적용이 제한되고 있는 실정이다. 이 연구에서는 합리화 강교량 형식인 소수주거더교의 제작방법을 개선하고 구속콘크리트를 활용하여 강교량에서 공사비와 직결되는 강중을 줄일 수 있는 신형식 강합성거더(Turn Over Composite Girder) 구조형식을 제안하고자 한다. 또한 실물 크기인 20 m 단면회전방법을 적용한 강합성 거더시험체 및 교량시험체를 제작하여 제작성을 평가하고 구조성능 실험을 하여 구조안전성을 평가하였다.

This paper proposes a modified bar simulation method for analyzing the shear lag effect of variable sectional box girder with multiple cells. This theoretical method formulates the equivalent area of stiffening bars and the allocation proportion of shear flows in webs, and re-derives the governing differential equations of bar simulation method. The feasibility of the proposed method is verified by the model test and finite element (FE) analysis of a simply supported multi-cell box girder with constant depth. Subsequently, parametric analysis is conducted to explore the mechanism of shear lag effect of varied sectional cantilever box girder with multiple cells. Results show that the shear lag behavior of variable box-section cantilever box girder is weaker than that of box girder with constant section. It is recommended to make the gradient of shear flow in the web with respect to span length vary as smoothly as possible for eliminating the shear lag effect of box girder. An effective countermeasure for diminishing shear lag effect is to increase the number of box chambers or change the variation manner of bridge depth. The shear lag effect of varied sectional cantilever box girder will get more server when the length of central flanges is shorter than 0.26 or longer than 0.36 times of total width of top flange, as well as the cantilever length exceeds 0.29 times of total length of box's flange. Therefore, the distance between central webs can adjust the shear lag effect of box girder. Especially, the width ratio of cantilever plate with respect to total length of top flange is proposed to be no more 1/3.

The traditional prestressed concrete composite box-girders with corrugated steel webs have several drawbacks such as large deflection and potential local buckling. In this study, two methods were investigated to optimize and improve the prestressed concrete composite box-girders with corrugated steel webs. The first method was to replace the concrete bottom slab with a steel plate and the second method was to support the concrete bottom slab on the steel flanges. The behavior of the prestressed concrete composite box-girders with corrugated steel webs with either method was studied by experiments on three specimens. The test results showed that behavior of the optimized and upgraded prestressed concrete composite box-girders with corrugated steel webs, including ultimate bearing capacity, flexural stiffness, and crack resistance, is greatly improved. In addition, the influence of different shear connectors, including perfobond leisten (PBL) and stud shear connectors, on the behavior of prestressed concrete composite box-girders with corrugated steel webs was studied. The results showed that PBL shear connectors can greatly improve the ultimate bearing capacity, flexural stiffness and crack resistance property of the prestressed concrete composite box-girders with corrugated steel webs. However, for the efficiency of prestressing introduced into the girder, the PBL shear connectors do not perform as well as the stud shear connectors.

Vibration causes noise and makes structure unstable. Especially, due to the effort of lightening, deformation of flexible structure is increased in its shape. Just a little disturbance causes vibration and low damping ratio causes residual vibration lasts long time. In this paper, by using a neuro-controller, which is one of the algorithm of adaptive control. we performed adaptive control of flexible cantilever plate and opened box structure with piezoelectric materials. The proposed adaptive vibration control algorithm, a neuro-controller, is proved in its effectiveness by applying to a opened box structure. The neuro-controller was implemented with DSP, and the real-time adaptive vibration control experiment results confirm that neuro-controller is reliable.

Vibration causes noise and sometimes makes structure unstable. Especially, due to the efforts of lightening, deformation of flexible structure is increased in its shape. Just a little disturbance can cause vibration and low damping ratio makes residual vibration last long time. This research is concerned with the model reference neuro-controller design for the vibration suppression of smart structures. By using a model reference neurocontroller, which is one of the algorithms of adaptive control, we performed an adaptive control of flexible cantilever plate and opened box structure with piezoelectric materials. The proposed adaptive vibration control algorithm, a model reference neuro-controller, was proved in its effectiveness by applying to an opened box structure. The model reference neuro-controller is implemented with DSP, and the real-time adaptive vibration control experiment results confirm that the model reference neuro-controller is reliable.

This study investigates the effects of a bridge deck's width-to-depth (B/H) ratio and turbulence on buffeting response and flutter critical wind speed of long-span bridges by conducting section model tests. A streamlined box section and a plate girder section, each with four B/H ratios, were tested in smooth and turbulent flows. The results show that for the box girders, the response increases with the B/H ratio, especially in the vertical direction. For the plate girders, the vertical response also increases with the B/H ratio. However, the torsional response decreases as the B/H ratio increases. Increasing the B/H ratio and intensity of turbulence tends to improve the bridge's aerodynamic stability. Experimental results obtained from the section model tests agree reasonably with the calculated results obtained from a numerical analysis.
