This study is for the strengthening method of continuous bridge through external tendon strengthening that is the most general and effective among concrete bridge's strengthening method. Recently, it is numerous that slab's parts between spans have continuity for improving trafficable ability. However, in this case, slab would have a crack; bridge's durability would be damaged, and also it is too difficult to manage and maintain bridge due to the tensile strength of negative moment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to demonstrate load-carrying through experiments and develop new external pre-stressing strengthening method for reinforcing continuous bridge.

Seismic strengthening is essential for existing bridge piers which are deficient to resist the earthquake. The concrete and CFRP jackets with a bottom-anchoring method are used to strengthen railway bridge piers with low reinforcement ratio. Quasi-static tests of scaled down model piers are performed to evaluate the seismic performance of the original and strengthened bridge pier. The fracture characteristics indicate that the vulnerable position of the railway bridge pier with low reinforcement ratio during earthquake is the pier-footing region and shows flexural failure mode. The force-displacement relationships show that the two strengthening techniques using CFRP and concrete jackets can both provide a significant improvement in load-carrying capacity for railway bridge piers with low reinforcement ratio. It is clear that the bottom-anchoring method by using planted steel bars can guarantee the CFRP and concrete jackets to work jointly with original concrete piers Furthermore, it can be found that the use of CFRP jacket offers advantages over concrete jacket in improving the energy dissipation capacity under lateral cyclic loading. Therefore, the seismic strengthening techniques by the use of CFRP and concrete jackets provide alternative choices for the large numbers of existing railway bridge piers with low reinforcement ratio in China.

The deterioration of existing bridges has become a major problem around the world. In the paper, a new model and an associated stress checking method are proposed for concrete box girders strengthened by external prestressing. The new model called the spatial grid model can analyze all the spatial behaviors clearly by transforming the box girder into discrete orthogonal grids which are equivalent to plate elements. Then the three-layer stresses are employed as the stress checking indices to evaluate the stress state of the plate elements. The initial stress check before strengthening reveals the cracked and potential cracking areas for existing bridges, making the strengthening design more targeted and scientific; the subsequent stress check after strengthening evaluates the strengthening effect and ensures safety. A deficient bridge is selected as the practical example, verifying the accuracy and applicability of the proposed model and stress checking method. The results show that principal stresses in the middle layer of plate elements reflect the main effects of external prestressing and thus are the key stress checking indices for strengthening. Moreover, principal stresses check should be conducted in all parts of the strengthened structure not only in the webs. As for the local effects of external prestressing especially in the areas near anchorage and deviator, normal stresses check in the outer and inner layers dominates and local strengthening measures should be taken if necessary.

콘크리트 교량 바닥판은 건조수축 및 온도변화 등에 의하여 초기 일차균열이 발생하고, 사용기간 동안 반복되는 차량하중의 크기와 철근 간격 등에 의하여 초기 균열이 이방향 균열로 점차 진전하게 된다. 바닥판의 거동을 효율적으로 향상시키기 위해서는 보강방향에 대한 고려가 필수적이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 탄소섬유쉬트를 보강재로 사용한 경우의 보강된 바닥판에 대한 비선형 유한요소해석을 실시하였으며, 해석의 정확성을 높이기 위하여 보강된 바닥판의 경계조건과 재료성질을 시험조건과 부합될 수 있도록 모사하였다. 보강방향과 보강량에 대한 해석결과는 시험결과와 비교, 분석함으로써 정확성을 검증하였으며, 이와 함께 보강된 바닥판의 효율성을 검증하기 위하여 보강재량, 폭과 두께 등과 같은 보강변수에 의한 보강후의 구조적 효율성을 고찰하였다.

Numerous PSC bridges are stregthened by the combined use of continuity of simple spans and addition of external prestressing. In this case prestressing sequences should be carefully checked due to the effect on the stress and camber of girders and slab. Various prestressing sequences were applied in this field test and measured values were analysed. This results show that preatressing sequences affact the stress and deflection of bridge members, so the prestressing sequence should be considered at the desist and construction stages of deteriorated bridges.

External pre-stressing strengthening method is the most popular way to strengthen concrete structures because of its efficiency and economic advantage. The laboratory test was performed to reinforce the slave bridge with the external tendon strengthening by longitudinally and transversally, which is concerned with formal feature of slave bridge, generally. Based on this test, anchoring device to strengthen the external tendon strengthening method was established and its strengthening effects were verified by evaluating the load bearing capacity.

교량은 도로나 철도 네트워크를 구성하는 중요한 사회기반시설로 부재의 파손으로 인한 보수, 보강, 교체에 따른 교통통제나 갑작스런 붕괴 등이 발생할 경우 사회경제적으로 커다란 손실과 인명사상을 유발하기 때문에 일정한 안전수준 이상으로 관리되어야 한다. 사용연수의 증가에 따라 열화 손상되거나, 사고, 천재지변 등으로 인해 문제가 발생한 교량의 성능을 회복시키기 위하여 다양한 보강 공법들이 연구되고 있다. 그러나 어떤 공법을 사용하는 것이 합리적인가에 대한 판단기준 없이 의사결정을 수행하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 개략 설계된 여러 보강대안 중 최적 보강공법을 선정하는 문제를 해결하기 위해, 의사결정인자를 도출하고 불확실성을 고려한 정량적 평가 및 의사결정방법을 제안하였으며, 이를 간략한 예제에 적용하여 개발된 모델의 합리성 및 적용성을 검토하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 방법론은 불확실성이 존재하는 대안들 가운데 최적의 대안을 선택하는 분야에 응용하여 적용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The preservation of historic masonry-arch railway bridges is of paramount importance due to their economic benefits. These bridges which belong to past centuries may nowadays be expected to carry loads higher than those for which they were designed. Such an increase in loads may be because of increase in transportation speed or in the capacity of freight-wagons. Anyway, adequate increase in their load-carrying-capacity through structural-strengthening is required. Moreover, the increasing costs of material/construction urge engineers to optimize their designs to obtain the minimum-cost one. This paper proposes a novel numerical optimization method to minimize the costs associated with strengthening of masonry-arch railway bridges. To do so, the stress/displacement responses of Sahand-Goltappeh bridge are assessed under ordinary train pass as a case study. For this aim, 3D-Finite-Element-Model is created and calibrated using experimental test results. Then, it is strengthened such that following goals are achieved simultaneously: (1) the load-carrying-capacity of the bridge is increased; (2) the structural response of the bridge is reduced to a certain limit; and, (3) the costs needed for such strengthening are minimized as far as possible. The results of the case study demonstrate the applicability/superiority of the proposed approach. Some economic measures are also recommended to further reduce the total strengthening cost.

본 연구에서는 장기공용 중 외부강선보강공법에 의하여 보강된 PSC Beam교량에 대한 강선 파단 시험을 통하여 보강효과를 분석하였다. 외부강선 보강효과를 분석하기 위하여 기 보강된 강선을 인위적으로 절단하면서, 교량의 처짐과 변형률을 측정하였다. 또한 강선절단 전과 후에 재하시험을 실시하여 교량의 거동변화를 평가하였다. 실험결과에 의하면 외부강선 절단 전과 후의 재하시험을 통하여 보강효과가 교량의 거동특성을 크게 변화시키지는 않지만, 보강시의 긴장력에 의하여 고유진동수는 증가하였다. 외부강선 절단시의 처짐과 응력 계측결과로부터 보강효과가 충분히 유지되고 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 구조해석 결과와도 잘 일치하였다. 따라서 외부강선을 이용하여 노후교량을 보강할 경우 정밀구조해석을 통하여 그 효과를 예측할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
