Long span bridges such as steel cable stayed and suspension bridges are usually more flexible than short to medium span bridges and expected to have large deformations. Deflections due to live load for long span bridges are important since it controls the overall heights of the bridge for securing the clearance under the bridge and serviceability for securing the comfort of passengers or pedestrians. In case of sea-crossing bridges, the clearance of bridges is determined considering the height of the ship master from the surface of the water, the trim of the ship, the psychological free space, the tide height, and live load deflection. In the design of bridges, live load deflection is limited to a certain value to minimize the vibrations. However, there are not much studies that consider the live load deflection and its effects for long span bridges. The purpose of this study is to investigate the suitability of live load deflection limit and its actual effects on serviceability of bridges for steel cable-stayed and suspension bridges. Analytical study is performed to calculate the natural frequencies and deflections by design live load. Results are compared with various design limits and related studies by Barker et al. (2011) and Saadeghvaziri et al. (2012). Two long span bridges are selected for the case study, Yi Sun-Sin grand bridge (suspension bridge, main span length = 1545 m) and Young-Hung grand bridge (cable stayed bridge, main span length = 240 m). Long-term measured deflection data by GNSS system are collected from Yi Sun-Sin grand bridge and compared with the theoretical values. Probability of exceedance against various deflection limits are calculated from probability distribution of 10-min maximum deflection. The results of the study on the limitation of live load deflection are expected to be useful reference for the design, the proper planning and deflection review of the long span bridges around the world.

With the further increase of span length, the cable-stayed bridge tends to be more slender, and becomes more susceptible to the seismic action. By taking a super long-span cable-stayed bridge with main span of 1400m as example, structural response of the bridge under the E1 horizontal and vertical seismic excitations is investigated numerically by the multimode seismic response spectrum and time-history analysis respectively, the seismic behavior and also the effect of structural nonlinearity on the seismic response of super long-span cable-stayed bridge are revealed. Furthermore, the effect of structural parameters including the girder depth and width, the tower structural style, the tower height-to-span ratio, the side-tomain span ratio, the auxiliary piers in side spans and the anchorage system of stay cables etc on the seismic performance of super long-span cable-stayed bridge is investigated numerically by the multimode seismic response spectrum analysis, and the favorable earthquake-resistant structural system of super long-span cable-stayed bridge is proposed.

In comparison with the common two-tower suspension bridge, due to the lack of effective longitudinal restraint of the center tower, the three-tower suspension bridge becomes a structural system with greater flexibility, and more susceptible to the wind action. By taking a three-tower suspension bridge-the Taizhou Bridge over the Yangtze River with two main spans of 1080 m as example, effects of structural parameters including the cable sag to span ratio, the side to main span ratio, the deck's dead load, the deck's bearing system, longitudinal structural form of the center tower and the cable system on the aerodynamic stability of the bridge are investigated numerically by 3D nonlinear aerodynamic stability analysis, the favorable structural system of three-tower suspension bridge with good wind stability is discussed. The results show that good aerodynamic stability can be obtained for three-tower suspension bridge as the cable sag to span ratio is assumed ranging from 1/10 to 1/11, the central buckle are provided between main cables and the deck at midpoint of main spans, the longitudinal bending stiffness of the center tower is strengthened, and the spatial cable system or double cable system is employed.

A systematic reliability evaluation approach for torsional divergence analysis of long span suspension bridges is proposed, consisting of the first order reliability method and a simplified torsional divergence analysis method. The proposed method was implemented in the deterministic torsional divergence analysis program SIMTDB through a new strategy involving interfacing the proposed method with SIMTDB via a freely available MATLAB software tool (FERUM). A numerical example involving a detailed computational model of a long span suspension bridge with a main span of 888 m is presented to demonstrate the applicability and merits of the proposed method and the associated software strategy. Finally, the most influential random variables on the reliability of long span suspension bridges against torsional divergence failure are identified by a sensitivity analysis.

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the near-optimal parameters of continuous beam subject to a moving load. The computer-aided optimization technique is used to obtain the near-optimal parameters. The computer program is developed to obtain the natural frequency parameters and the forced vibration responses to a transit point load for the continuous beam with variable support spacing, mass and stiffness. The optimization function to describe the design efficiency is defined as a linear combination of four dimensionless span characteristics: the maximum dynamic stress; the stress difference between span segments; the rms deflection under the transit point load; and the total span mass. Studies of three span beams show that the beam with near-optimal parameters can improve design efficiency by 12 to 24 percent when compared to a reference configuration beams of the same total span length.

The objective of this experimental study is to understand the shear behavior of reinforced concrete continuous deep beams. The main variables considered were concrete strength and shear span-to-depth ratio. Specimens of 4 two-span continuous deep beams were tested and compared with the strength of simple span beams. The results show that the influence of concrete strength on the shear strength of continuous deep beams is comparable to that on simple span deep beams. However, the effect of span-to-depth ratio is significantly greater than simple span deep beams.

인천항의 송도 신도시와 영종도 인천국제공항을 이어주는 제2연륙교 건설사업이 1999년 민간제안사업으로 정부에 제안되어 3차례에 걸친 통항 안전성 연구에도 불구하고 적정 교각폭이 결정되지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 인천항의 제2연륙교 설치시 왕복통항이가능한 교각폭으로 설계한 경우를 대비하여 10,000G/T이상 선박이 일방통항으로 항로폭을 설계할 경우의 항만운용효율 변화 및 경제성을 분석 하고자 한다. 연구결과, 제2연륙교 항로의 왕복통항대비 10,000G/T 이상 일방통항시 제2연륙교 주경간 항로에서의 총대기시간은 2011년도에 20,362시간, 2020년에는 24,544시간으로 평가되었다. 따라서 10,000G/T이상 선박의 일방통항에 따른 체선$\cdot$체화비용으로 2011년에 약 197억원, 2020년에는 약 233억원이 될 것으로 추정되므로 제2연륙교가 완공될 2008년부터 2040년까지의 33년간의 총 체선$\cdot$체화비용은 약 7,689억원으로 평가되었다.

본 연구는 기존의 연구성과들을 바탕으로 단부 RC조 중앙부 S조로 이루어진 합성보의 내력평가를 이론적으로 고찰한 것으로 다음의 결론을 얻었다. RC구간 길이가 증가할수록 Vsrc,test/Vsrc,the의 비는 점진적으로 감소하며 그 경향은 a/d=3.5이상에서 더욱 현저함을 알 수 있었다. 많은 보강방법 중에서는 수직+수평 보강 방법이 우수한 결과를 보였다. 그리고, 주근정착길이 0.15L에서 내력상승률이 현저하며, Vsrc,Eq(3)~(5)식 일 때 실험치를 일반적으로 과소평가하는 경향을 나타냈다. 전단스팬비와 주근정착길이, 철골철근비의 변화를 주요변수로 하여 회귀분석에 의한 내력 평가식을 제안하였다.

In this study, a time domain analysis is presented for investigation on the buffeting response of cable-stayed bridge during both erection and completion stages. The main span length and width of deck are 520 m and 15.1m, each. Since the ratio of span over width is 34.44, aerodynamic stability of the bridge during erection is expected to dominate the safety of the bridge in construction stage. Several conclusions regarding different construction stages and temporary wind cables are obtained.

Long continuous bridge deck can become contracted considerably as temperature drops, which can lead to a large expansion of sleeper span at the end of it. Since this huge sleeper span then can cause problems both with safety of train operation and structural stability of tracks, it is necessary to take the issue into consideration systematically in the designing process of the bridge. In this paper, an evaluation process through the analysis of train-track interaction was presented which can basically review the effects of the expansion of sleeper span at the end of long continuous bridge deck on the safety of the train and the structural stability of the track. The analyses of the interaction between the light rail train and tracks were carried out targeting the sleeper span as a main parameter. The safety of train operation and structural stability of tracks in a light rail system due to the expansion of the sleeper span were evaluated by comparing the numerical results with the related criteria.
