철도교량의 경제성 확보를 전제로 PSC I형 거더의 장경간화 추세는 근간에 가장 활발히 진행되고 있는 연구이며, 이에 따른 교량의 강성확보를 위한 거더의 효율적인 기하형상 선정은 우선시 되어야할 과제이다. 본 연구에서는 회전반경과 휨효율을 기반으로 확장된 상부플랜지의 거더 단면을 선정하였으며, 본 거더가 적용된 경간장 25m, 30m, 35m, 40m PSC I형 거더교를 대상으로 수치해석을 수행하여 국내 및 국외의 동적성능 기준과의 부합여부를 검증하였다. 또한 경간장 40m PSC I형 거더의 동적성능을 상대적으로 비교하기 위해서 현재 호남고속철도에서 적용된 40m PSC Box 거더교를 대상으로 동적 해석을 수행하였고 KTX열차와 화물열차 주행 시의 동적안정성을 수치해석적으로 검토하여 국내 및 국외의 동적 안정성 기준과 부합여부를 검토하였다. 추가로 표준열차하중과 충격계수를 고려하여 정적해석을 수행하고 한계치와의 부합여부를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 검토대상 PSC I형 거더 철도교는 모든 항목에서 국내 철도교량 관련 정적, 동적안정성 기준치를 만족하는 것으로 분석되었다.

In this paper, experimental investigations on high strength steel (HSS) stud connected steel-concrete composite (SCC) girders to understand the effect of shear connector density on their flexural behaviour is presented. SCC girder specimens were designed for three different shear capacities (100%, 85%, and 70%), by varying the number of stud connectors in the shear span. Three SCC girder specimens were tested under monotonic/quasi-static loading, while three similar girder specimens were subjected to non-reversal cyclic loading under simply supported end conditions. Details of casting the specimens, experimental set-up, and method of testing, instrumentation for the measurement of deflection, interface-slip and strain are discussed. It is found that SCC girder specimen designed for full shear capacity exhibits interface slip for loads beyond 25% of the ultimate load capacity. Specimens with lesser degree of shear connection show lower values of load at initiation of slip. Very good ductility is exhibited by all the HSS stud connected SCC girder specimens. It is observed that the ultimate moment of resistance as well as ductility gets reduced for HSS stud connected SCC girder with reduction in stud shear connector density. Efficiency factor indicating the effectiveness of high strength stud connectors in resisting interface forces is estimated to be 0.8 from the analysis. Failure mode is primarily flexure with fracturing of stud connectors and characterised by flexural cracking and crushing of concrete at top in the pure bending region. Local buckling in the top flange of steel beam was also observed at the loads near to failure, which is influenced by spacing of studs and top flange thickness of rolled steel section. One of the recommendations is that the ultimate load capacity can be limited to 1.5 times the plastic moment capacity of the section such that the post peak load reduction is kept within limits. Load-deflection behaviour for monotonic tests compared well with the envelope of load-deflection curves for cyclic tests. It is concluded from the experimental investigations that use of HSS studs will reduce their numbers for given loading, which is advantageous in case of long spans. Buckling of top flange of rolled section is observed at failure stage. Provision of lips in the top flange is suggested to avoid this buckling. This is possible in case of longer spans, where normally built-up sections are used.
