This study deals with behavior of steel box girder bridges according to the concrete slab casting sequences and sectional types. The time dependent behavior of bridges caused by the differential setting of slab concrete resulting from time gap for each part of slab deck in a sequential placing method produces is analyzed. In correlation studies between girder section types and placing sequences, time dependent effects of concrete creep and shrinkage are implemented in the analytical model proposed in the previous study. Finally, field recommendations in terms of concrete slump and relative humidity are suggested to prevent early transverse cracking of concrete slabs.

Recently, unexpected cracks in the concrete deck slab of composite steel bridges have been widely reported at an early age of concrete placing due to the concrete placing sequence and methods. Accordingly, the analytical research was carried out to verify the negative moment at an internal supports due to the several concrete pouring sequence and to determine the reasonable concrete placing method on the deck slab of composite steel bridge. The results show that the conventional concrete-placing method, which pours concrete first on the positive moment regions and then negative regions, leads to the minimum moment at an internal supports. However, the conventional method produces two impractical construction joints on every spans and makes field engineer to pour concrete continuously. In conclusion, this concrete-placing method was verified to be reasonable only when the construction joint was placed at the $\frac{5}{8}l{\sim}\frac{6}{8}l$ location of the middle span.

This paper deals with the prediction of behavior of composite girder bridges according to the placing sequences of concrete deck. Based on a degenerate kernel of compliance function in the form of Dirichlet series, the time-dependent behaviors of bridges are simulated, and the layer approach is adopted to determine the equilibrium condition in a section. The variation of bending moments along the bridge length caused by the slab casting sequence is reviewed and correlation studies between section types and placing sequences are conducted with the objective to establish the validity of the continuous placing of concrete deck on the closed steel box-girder which is broadly used in practice.

In this study, both experimental and analytical study for behavior of the existing composite steel box girder bridges, constructed along with the procedure of continuous placing slab, are conducted to establish the validity of the proposed model. The layer approach is adopted to determine the equilibrium condition in a section to consider the different material properties and concrete cracking across the sectional depth, and the beam element stiffness is constructed on the basis of the assumed displacement field formulation and the 3-points Gaussian Integration. In addition, the effects of creep and shrinkage of concrete for time-dependent behavior of the bridge are taken into consideration. Finally, both analytical and experimental results are compared.

The purpose of this study is to consider structural issues and analyze construction sequences when constructing hanging floors supported by Mega truss. Since suspended structures were supported by the Mega truss, vertical load on suspended structures was needed to transfer from low to high. Deflection management of structures was the primary point under construction. The results of this study were as follows; The steel structures, which has relatively lighter self-weight, were constructed upwards after the base floor steel truss erection. Concrete Placing, which has relatively heavier self-weight, were performed in two phases to minimize structure's deflection. Slab was placed downwards from the top floor to lower floor whereas column was places upwards. Deflection measurements were carried out at every construction sequences.
