In practical design of girder bridges or reinforced concrete slab bridges with T-type piers, it is usually assumed that vertical movements of superstructures are completely restrained at the locations of bearings(shoes) on a cap beam of the pier, The resulting vertical reactions are applied to the bearing for the calculation of bending moments and shear forces in the cap beam. However, in reality, the overhang parts of the cap beam will deform under the dead load of superstructures and the live load so that it may act as an elastic foundation. Due to the settlement of the elastic foundation, the actual distribution of the reactions at the bearings along the cap beam may be different from that obtained under the assumption that the vertical movements are fixed at the bearings. In the present study, investigated is the effects of elastic deformations of the T-type pier on the distribution of reactions at the bearings along the cap beam through 3-dimensional finite element analysis. Herein, for this purpose the whole structural system including the superstructure and piers as well is analyzed. It appears that the conventional practice which neglects the elastic deformations of the cap beam exhibits considerably different distributions of the reactions as compared with those obtained from the present finite element analysis. It is, therefore, recommended that in order to assess the reactions at bearings correctly the whole structural system be analyzed using 3-dimensional finite element analysis.

This paper presents a numerical study on structural behavior of hammer head pier cap beams, extended on verges and reinforced with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates. A 3-D finite element (FE) model along with a simplified analytical model are presented. Concrete damage plasticity (CDP) was adapted in the FE model and an analytical approach predicting the CFRP anchor strength was adapted in both FE and analytical model. Total five quarter-scaled pier cap beams with various CFRP reinforcing schemes were experimentally tested and analyzed with numerical approaches. Comparison between experimental results, FE results, analytical results and current ACI guideline predictions was presented. The FE results showed good agreement with experimental results in terms of failure mode, ultimate capacity, load-displacement response and strain distribution. In addition, the proposed strut-and-tie based analytical model provides the most accurate prediction of ultimate strength of extended cap beams among the three numerical approaches.

A simplified calculation method of natural vibration characteristics of high-speed railway multi-span bridge-longitudinal ballastless track system is proposed. The rail, track slab, base slab, main beam, bearing, pier, cap and pile foundation are taken into account, and the multi-span longitudinal ballastless track-beam-bearing-pier-cap-pile foundation integrated model (MBTIM) is established. The energy equation of each component of the MBTIM based on Timoshenko beam theory is constructed. Using the improved Fourier series, and the Rayleigh-Ritz method and Hamilton principle are combined to obtain the extremum of the total energy function. The simplified calculation formula of the natural vibration frequency of the MBTIM under the influence of vertical and longitudinal vibration is derived and verified by numerical methods. The influence law of the natural vibration frequency of the MBTIM is analyzed considering and not considering the participation of each component of the MBTIM, the damage of the track interlayer component and the stiffness change of each layer component. The results show that the error between the calculation results of the formula and the numerical method in this paper is less than 3%, which verifies the correctness of the method in this paper. The high-order frequency of the MBTIM is significantly affected considering the track, bridge pier, pile soil and pile cap, while considering the influence of pile cap on the low-order and high-order frequency of the MBTIM is large. The influence of component damage such as void beneath slab, mortar debonding and fastener failure on each order frequency of the MBTIM is basically the same, and the influence of component damage less than 10m on the first fourteen order frequency of the MBTIM is small. The bending stiffness of track slab and rail has no obvious influence on the natural frequency of the MBTIM, and the bending stiffness of main beam has influence on the natural frequency of the MBTIM. The bending stiffness of pier and base slab only has obvious influence on the high-order frequency of the MBTIM. The natural vibration characteristics of the MBTIM play an important guiding role in the safety analysis of high-speed train running, the damage detection of track-bridge structure and the seismic design of railway bridge.

The main aim of this study was to evaluate the bending and torsional behaviors of representative regular type cap beams in elevated guideway structures. A1/2 scale model copping beam, excluding the column portion, was designed, constructed, and tested. The copping beam was subjected to horizontal monotonic and cyclic loads with a constant vertical load over the loading stage. The damage was very much dominated by torsion. Experiment results showed that the spiral confinement in the beam helped to restrain the opening of torsional cracks in the column zone. Hence, the torsional strength of the cap beam contributesgreatly to the confinement conditions of the column.

비선형 말뚝두부강성을 고려한 3차원 군말뚝기초 해석기법(YSGroup)을 개발하였으며 이를 기타 해석기법들(탄성 변위법, Croup 6.0, FBPier 3.0)과 비교${\cdot}$분석하였다. 본 해석기법은 말뚝캡을 평면쉘요소로, 교각은 3차원 보요소로, 그리고 개개 말뚝들은 보-기둥요소로 모델링 하였다. 교각 상단에 수평하중을 받는 $2\times2$배열 군말뚝기초에서 지반을 선형으로 가정한 경우를 대상으로 탄성변위법, Group 6.0, FBPier 3.0, 그리고 본 해석기법(YSGroup)을 이용하여 해석한 결과, 본 해석기법과 탄성변위법, Group 6.0은 서로 유사한 말뚝두부변위가 산정되었으나 FBPier 3.0는 다소 큰변위가 산정되었다. 지반의 비선형성이 고려된 상부구조물(교각)의 변위는 본 해석기법(YSGroup)과 FBPier 3.0을 통해 산정 가능하였는데, 이는 본 해석기법과 FBPier 3.0은 유한요소법을 이용하여 상부구조물을 직접 모델링하였기 때문이다. 말뚝두부조건이 힌지조건인 경우의 군말뚝은 말뚝캡의 과다한 회전이 발생할 가능성이 큼을 알 수 있었다.

. 본 연구에서는 지반의 비선형을 고려한 하부구조(말뚝지반말뚝캡)의 복잡한 거동과 상부 피어구조와 연계된 상$\cdot$하부 일체화 해석을 수행할 수 있는 3차원 해석기법을 개발하였다. FBPier 3.0과 Croup 6.0의 중간단계에 해당하는 해석기법으로 각 해석기법의 장점을 취하고 단점을 보완하였다. 군말뚝기초 중 말뚝은 말뚝두부 강성행렬을 이용하여 모델링하였으며, 지반은 비선형 하중전이곡선(t-z, q-z, p-y곡선)으로 나타내었다. 말뚝캡은 6개의 자유도를 갖는 개선된 4절점 평면쉘(Flat shell)요소루 교각(피어)은 3차원 보(Beam)요소로 모델링 하여 상$\cdot$하부 일체해석이 가능하게 하였다. 말뚝두부 강성행렬의 하중크기에 따른 비선형성을 고려하기 위하여 점증하중-할선계수법을 제안하였다. 기존의 비선형 해석기법과의 비교$\cdot$분석 결과, 본 해석기법이 말뚝을 FBPier 5.0과 달리 말뚝두부 강성행렬을 이용하여 모델링 하였어도 말뚝두부 및 교각 상단에서의 변위를 비교적 정확히 산정 가능하였다.
