Composite bridges offer many advantages compared to current steel and aluminum bridges. This paper presents the results of a comprehensive on-going research program to develop innovative Diagnostic Prognostic System (DPS) and a structural evaluation of Composite Army Bridge (CAB) system. The DPS is founded on three technologies: optical fiber sensing, remote data transmission, and virtual testing. In developing this system, both laboratory and virtual test were used in different damage scenarios. Health monitoring with DPS entailed comparing live strain data to archived strained data in various bridge locations. For field repairs, a family of composite chords was subjected to simple ramp loads in search of ultimate strength. As such, composite bridge specimens showcased their strengths, heralded the viability of virtual testing, highlighted the efficacy of field repair, and confirmed the merits of health monitoring.

Glass fiber reinforced composite decks have high-strength, light-weight and high durability. The composite decks having vertical snap-fit connections are designed for pedestrian bridges and their structural behaviour are studied. The existing connection method of the composite decks in horizontal direction is replaced by the developed snap-fit connection method in vertical direction. The section shape of the composite decks having the vertical snap-fit connection is designed. The safety of the vertical snap-fit connection is verified by finite element analysis.

Steel lining board usually is used as a floor on the temporary steel bridges. It also is installed in the subway construction site. However, in particular in subway construction, renovations and site of old bridges, these steel lining board structures have a problem such as noise, accidents and slip hazards. So steel composite lining board is being developed to solve this problem. Steel composite lining board consists of compressive concrete showing excellent performance in slip, durability, resistance and noise, lower tensile and shear steel showing high safety, effective and superior workability in many respects. Steel composite lining board structure gradually is used in many construction sites, because it has a high quality such as durability, little noise and slip. In this study, flexural tests of steel composite lining board in accordance with welding patterns were conducted to compare the performance of the structure.

복합 신소재의 건설 분야 적용은 확대되고 있는 추세이고, 높은 비강도 비를 지닌 복합 신소재 교량 바닥 판의 개발은 국내외에서 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 이동 하중을 받는 비등방성 복합재료 적층판의 동적 응답을 정식화하고, 유한요소법을 사용하여 적층에 따른 동적거동 특성을 분석하는 것이다. 수치 해석 모델에 대해서 이동하중의 속도를 증가시키면서 동적 확대 계수를 계산하였다. 또한 적층형식 및 순서, 섬유 보강 각도 등의 변화에 따른 동적 거동 특성을 분석하였다. 본 연구 프로그램의 타당성을 확보하기 위해 휨과 자유 진동 해석에 관한 기존 문헌 결과와 비교하여 검증하였다. 또한 이동 하중에 의한 동적 해석에 대해 모우드 중첩법과 Newmark 직접 적분법을 사용하였다. 이러한 이동 하중과 적층 수, 적층 순서 및 섬유 보강 각도에 따른 수치 해석 결과는 완전 복합 신소재 교량 바닥 판을 개발하는데 있어서 중요한 기초 자료로 제시될 수 있을 것이다.

This paper presents a procedure to minimize the cost of materials of cable-stayed bridges with composite box girder and concrete tower. Two sets of iterations are included in the proposed procedure. The first set of iteration performs the structural analysis for a cable-stayed bridge. The second set of iteration performs the optimization process. The design is formulated as a general mathematical problem with the cost of the bridge as the objective function and bending forces, shear forces, fatigue stresses, buckling and deflection as constraints. The constraints are developed based on the Canadian National Standard CAN/CSA-S6-88. The finite element method is employed to perform the complicated nonlinear structural analysis of the cable-stayed bridges. The internal penalty function method is used in the optimization process. The limit states design method is used to determine the load capacity of the bridge. A computer program written in FORTRAN 77 is developed and its validity is verified by several practical-sized designs.

이 논문은 바닥판 콘크리트 타설 순서에 따른 합성형 교량의 거동을 예측하는 내용을 다루고 있다. 교량의 시간의존적 거동을 묘사하기 위하여 Dirichlet 급수를 사용한 크리프 함수를 사용하였고 단면해석은 적층단면을 사용하였다. 교량의 거동은 단면의 형태와 타설순서의 변화 효과를 고려하여 바닥판 콘크리트 타설에 따른 교축 방향의 모멘트 변화로써 나타내었으며 이 결과들을 이용하여 현장에서 널리 사용되고 있는 폐단면강 box 거더의 연속 바닥판 타설의 적합성을 보이고 있다.

강합성 교량은 자중의 감소, 강성의 증대, 장지간의 적용 등의 재료적 특성에 힘입어 1920년대 이래로 사용되어져 왔다. 그러나 연속교의 경우 내부지점부에서 발생하는 부모멘트로 인하여 콘크리트 부분에 균열이 생기고 콘크리트의 건조수축이나 Creep으로 인한 문제들이 제기 됨에 따라 슬랩앵커를 이용한 부분합성교량이 제기 되었다. 부분합성의 경우 어느 정도의 슬립을 허용하여 이러한 문제를 극복할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 슬랩앵커의 탄성구간에서의 초기 강성값을 실험을 통하여 알아내고, 단순지지인 경우와 연속교의 경우에 대하여 범용 프로그램을 이용하여 슬래브와 강재를 연결시키는 조인트 요소의 강성값을 변화시켜 전단연결재의 강성값에 따른 합성정도와 내부지점부의 콘크리트 슬래브의 인장응력이 어떤 변화양상을 나타내는지 파악하고자 한다.

Fiber-reinforced composite(FRC) was developed as a structural component for dental appliances such as prosthodontic framework. FRC provides the potential for fabrication of a metal-free, excellent esthetic prostheses. It has demonstrated success as a result of its simple fabrication, natural colour, and marginal integrity, and fracture resistance of veneering composite resin and the FRC material. Although it has lots of merits, clinical and objective data are insufficient. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the fracture strength and the marginal fitness of fiber reinforced composite bridge in the posterior region for clinical application. Sixteen bridges of each group. $Targis/Vectris^{(R)}$, $Sculpture-Fibrekor^{(R)}$, and In-Ceram, were fabricated. All specimens were cemented with Panavia 21 to the master dies. Strength evaluation was accomplished by a universal testing machine (Instron). The marginal fitness was measured by using the stereoscope (${\times}50$). The results were as follows. : 1. The fracture strength according to the materials was significantly decreased in order In-Ceram($238.81{\pm}82$), Targis Vectris($176.25{\pm}18.93$), Sculpture-Fibrekor($120.35{\pm}20.08$) bridges. 2. FRC resin bridges were not completely fractured, while In-Ceram bridges were completely fractured in the pontic joint. 3. The marginal accuracy was significantly decreased in order Targis/Vectris ($60.71{\mu}m$), Sculpture-Fibrekor($73.10{\mu}m$) In-ceram Bridge ($83.81{\mu}m$). 4. The fitness of occlusal sites had a lower value than the marginal sites(P<0.001), and the marginal gaps of inner site of the pontic were greater than that of outer sites of the pontic. Fiber reinforced composite bridges are new, esthetic prosthesis and can be clinically used in anterior regions and short span bridges. However, caution must be exercised when extrapolating laboratory data to the clinical situation because there are no long term clinical data regarding the overall success of the FRC.

This paper proposes using the multi-type sensor vibration measurements, such as from a relative displacement sensors and a traditional accelerometer for the damage detection of shear connectors in composite bridge under moving loads. Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) spectra of these responses will be fused with a data fusion approach i.e., Dempster-Shafer method, to detect the damage of shear connectors. Experimental studies on a composite bridge model in the laboratory are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness and performance of using the proposed approach in detecting the damage of shear connectors in composite bridges. Both undamaged and damaged scenarios are considered. The detection results with the data fusion of multi-type sensor measurements show a more reliable and robust performance and accuracy, avoiding the false identifications.
