This paper presents a new cost-effective hybrid GFRP-Concrete deck system that the GFRP panel serves as both tensile reinforcement and stay-in-place form. In order to understand the fatigue behavior of such hybrid deck, fatigue test on a full-scale specimen under sagging moment was conducted, and a series of static tests were also carried out after certain repeated loading cycles. The fatigue test results indicated that such hybrid deck has a good fatigue performance even after 3.1 million repeated loading cycles. A three-dimensional finite element model of the hybrid deck was established based on experimental work. The results from finite element analyses are in good agreement with those from the tests. In addition, flexural fatigue analysis considering the reduction in flexural stiffness and modulus under cyclic loading was carried out. The predicted flexural strength agreed well with the analytical strength from finite element simulation, and the calculated fatigue failure cycle was consistent with the result based on related S-N curve and finite element analyses. However, the flexural fatigue analytical results tended to be conservative compared to the tested results in safety side. The presented overall investigation may provide reference for the design and construction of such hybrid deck system.

This paper presents a experimental structural performance of steel-concrete hybrid bridge deck, which has studs to connect steel plate and concrete and T beam to improve structural performance, by steel plate shape, studs and load location. It proved that steel-concrete hybrid deck has a high structural performance and lightweight due to the efficient use of steel plate as a structural member, which has only used as formwork. In failure mode, few specimen failed at punching shear and many specimen at concrete crushing, therefore proved it has sufficient stability to punching shear which is the most frequent damage of bridge deck. Steel-concrete hybrid deck of plane steel plate has a high structural performance, and that of corrugated steel plate has a high reduction of weight.

최근 중앙경간 일부를 강박스 거더로 대체하여 자중을 감소시켜 중앙경간의 장경간화를 시도한 교량형식인 콘크리트-강 복합 엑스트라도즈드교는 기존 엑스트라도즈드 교량을 개선하기 위한 대안으로 제시되고 있다. 콘크리트-강 복합 엑스트라도즈드교는 자중 감소를 통해 중앙경간의 장경간화가 가능할 뿐 아니라 기존형식과 동일한 경우 주거더의 높이와 측경간을 감소시킬 수 있어 구조적 효율성이 매우 우수한 형식으로 평가되고 있다. 따라서 콘크리트-강 복합 엑스트라도즈드교에 대한 최적의 설계기법을 구축하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 콘크리트-강 복합 엑스트라도즈드교에 대한 주요 설계변수(주탑 높이, 주거더 높이 및 강상판 거더 길이)를 도출하고, 이를 바탕으로 설계변수별 수치해석과 그 결과를 이용한 설계변수별 민감도 분석을 실시하여 설계변수가 교량의 설계에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 반영할 수 있는 설계가중값을 도출하였다.

Partially earth anchored (PEA) can improve the structural safety and economic feasibility of multiple span cable stayed bridge (CSB). The PEA-CSB can restrain axial compressive load acting on a tower and reduce the global buckling length of a stiffened girder. For these reasons, structural members subject to axial forces can be effectively utilized and material quantity required for a steel deck can be reduced to save construction cost. In this study, the PEA system was verified for its application on a multiple span CSB. The CSB is a four-tower multi-span bridge which has a main span length of 500 m. As high tensile stress was generated at the top of the bridge decks at the mid-span between two main columns, a hybrid deck system for enhancing the bridge deck sections was proposed. While the composite sections made of concrete and steel were used near to the main columns, steel sections were used at the mid-span between two main columns.

Since the coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) between concrete and GFRP, steel and GFRP are quite different, GFRP laminates with different laminas stacking-sequence present different thermal behavior and currently there is no specification on mechanical properties of GFRP laminates, it is necessary to investigate the thermal influence on composite girder with stay-in-place (SIP) bridge deck at different levels and on different scales. This paper experimentally and theoretically investigated the CTE of GFRP at lamina's and laminate's level on micro-mechanics scales. The theoretical CTE values of laminas and laminates agreed well with test results, indicating that designers could obtain thermal properties of GFRP laminates with different lamina stacking-sequence through micro-mechanics methods. On the basis of the CTE tests and theoretical analysis, the thermal behaviors of composite girder with hybrid GFRP-concrete deck were studied numerically and theoretically on macro-mechanics scales. The theoretical results of concrete and steel components of composite girder agreed well with FE results, but the theoretical results of GFRP profiles were slightly larger than FE and tended to be conservative at a safety level.

본 연구는 재래 철근과 Fiber Reinforced Polymer 보강재를 사용한 Hybrid Reinforcement System의 기본 개념과 적용성에 대해 기술하고 있다. 콘크리트 교량상관은 보로서 지지되고 상하 두층의 보강재로 인장보강되어 있다. HRS를 이용한 콘크리트 교량상판에서는 보 지지점 부근의 부모멘트에 대한 상부 인장력은 FRP 봉으로 저항하고 보 지지점 중앙부근의 하부인장력은 재래의 철근으로 저항한다. HRS를 이용한 콘크리트 교량상판은 FRP 봉은 비 부식성이고, 부식되기 쉬운 철근은 교량상판 위로부터 가급적 멀리하여 부식물질의 침투를 막을 수 있는 장점이 있다. HRS를 이용한 콘크리트 교량상판은 또한 극한상태에서 충분한 연성을 가지고 있다. 그 이유는 1) FRP봉은 철근보다 탄성계수가 낮고 파단시의 최대 변형률이 크며, 2) 충분한 FRP 보강량을 사용하면 극한변형률을 낮출 수 있으며, 3) 부모멘트 구간의 일부를 비부착시켜 극한 변형률을 낮출 수 있다. 실험 연구 결과 보통의 FRP보강비의 범위에서는 FRP 및 HRS 콘크리트 슬래브는 FRP봉의 파단이 아니라 콘크리트의 압축에 의해 파피됨을 보여주고 있다. 그러므로 HRS를 이용한 연속 콘크리트 교량상관에서는 정모멘트부의 하부철근이 먼저 항복하여 소성힌지를 형성하고 나중에 부보멘트나 정모멘트부의 콘크리트가 압축파괴되어 FRP 콘크리트 슬래브에 비하여 상당한 소성에너지를 소모한다.

This paper summarizes the results of the fatigue test of four composite bridge decks in extreme temperatures (-30$^{\circ}C$ and 50$^{\circ}C$ ). The work was performed as part of a research program to evaluate and install multiple FRP bridge deck systems in Dayton, Ohio. A two-span continuous concrete deck was also built on three steel girders for the benchmark tests. Simulated wheel loads were applied simultaneously at two points by two servo-controlled hydraulic actuators specially designed and fabricated to perform under extreme temperatures. Each deck was initially subjected to one million wheel load cycles at low temperature and another one million cycles at high temperature. The results presented in this paper correspond to the fatigue response of each deck for four million load cycles at low temperature and another four million cycles at high temperature. Thus, the deck was subjected to a total of ten million cycles. Quasi-static load-deflection and load-strain responses were determined at predetermined fatigue cycle levels. Except for the progressive reduction in stiffness, no significant distress was observed in any of the composite deck prototypes during ten million load cycles. The effects of extreme temperatures and accumulated load cycles on the load-deflection and load-strain response of FRP composite and FRP-concrete hybrid bridge decks are discussed based on the experimental results.

A hybrid bridge deck is proposed, which includes steel bars, concrete and glass-fiber-reinforced-polymer (GFRP) plates with channel sections. The steel bar in the negative moment region can increase the flexural stiffness, improve the ductility, and reduce the GFRP ratio. Three continuous decks with different steel bar ratios and a simply supported deck were fabricated and tested to study the mechanical performance. The failure mode, deflection, strain distribution, cracks and support reaction were tested and discussed. The steel bar improves the mechanical performance of continuous decks, and a theoretical method is proposed to predict the deformation and the shear capacity. The experimental results show that all specimens failed with shear failure in the positive moment region. The increase of steel bar ratio in the negative moment region can achieve an enhancement in the flexural stiffness and reduce the deflection without increasing GFRP. Moreover, the continuous deck can achieve a yield load, and the negative moment can be carried by GFRP plates after the steel bar yields. Finally, a nonlinear analytical method for the deflection calculation was proposed and verified, with considering the moment redistribution, non-cracked sections and nonlinearity of material. In addition, a simplified calculation method was proposed to predict the shear capacity of GFRP-concrete decks.
