When vehicles pass the connection between the bridge and earthwork, the difference of both sections' stiffness produces an increasing wheelload. As a consequence, it results in the excessive vibration of vehicles and the damage of bearing system. In general, steel plate girder railway bridges without ballast track have larger stiffness than the bridge with ballast, and produces larger impulse on the bridge superstructure. Thus, it is necessary to reduce the differences of both stiffness. This study presents parametric studies on the behavior of plate girder bridges and their tracks by means of various stiffnesses and the length of approach zone. The results of numerical study showed that the smaller the stiffness of both sides and the longer the length of approach zone, the variation of wheelload becomes smaller. Hence, it gives less burden into the plate girder bridges and their tracks. It is expected that the results of parametric study can be used as a preliminary data for the determination of economical length on the approach zone and the stiffness of both sides.

Field measurements were conducted to analysis lateral dynamic characteristics of existing steel plate girder railway bridges without ballast. Three bridges which have 9m, 12m, 18m span length in Kyoung-Bu Line were selected for test. According to the each bridge, dynamic lateral deflections and accelerations were measured. From the present study, it was observed that dynamic lateral amplification phenomena caused by a fluctuation of lateral force were occurred under the current running circumstances. Lateral deflections were occurred below than that specified in Korean railway bridge specification, but lateral accelerations is a match for vertical accelerations. From now on, it is in need a plan to reduce lateral accelerations for the conventional railway Line speed up.

Recently, the plate girder bridge is offen designed a temporary bridge for underground roadway construction have not interrupt railroad operation. The integral support plate girder bridge which have longitudinal girder and cross-girder is improved workability and reduction cost and of construction time. The cross beam of the integral support plate girder bridge has a normal box shape to distribute load on the main girde to end both side girder. In this study, On the change to the web distance of the cross box shows characteristics of related to the stresses and displacements on the flange and web plate. Afterward, the various analysis contributed to the safety improvement of crossbeam of the integral support crossbeam plate girder bridge.

From the using CWR (Continuously Welded Rail) on steel plate girder bridges without ballast, axial forces are occurred from a temperature on CWR and girders. Because of the additional axial forces, studies in order to CWR and developments of devices are proceeding. The track system of steel plate girder bridges is poor. When CWR is used for the system, the resistance on sleepers is increased from a temperature. So it is increasing an effect on CWR and, for solving the effect, longitudinal forces for buckle are being decreased. It is possible that opposite cases can be happened and it is also compared and studied. Therefore, we present a reasonable model for analyzing CWR within the property of steel plate girder railway bridges in Korea. Furthermore, the results analyzed for stability is compared and evaluated with tests. Finally, a reasonable method for the installation of CWR on bridges without ballast is suggested.

This paper deals with the influence on the dynamic response of I-type girder railway bridge with high-speed electric multiple unit(HEMU) train load. This bridge system which has six I-girder and several cross beams, is modeled with plate and frame elements. And the upper slab is assumed to be fully connected with girders using rigid rinks. Span lengths, types of vehicle and running speeds are selected as parameters for analyses. For more exact analysis, it was adopted that 3-dimensional section of bridge models was produced by the assumed design wheel loads of HEMU vehicle at 200~350 km/hr speeds. Dynamic vertical deflections, dynamic amplification factors and vertical accelerations of bridges having 30 and 35 m span length were investigated and compared with the limit values specified in various national railway bridge specifications.

High speed railway structure, contact of vehicle needs to design considering the running stability(dynamic behavior). Also, upper structure has to satisfy design standard about moving load, high speed train(KTX). So, the high speed railway structure has to satisfy the requirement of natural frequency, vertical acceleration on deck, face distortion and vertical displacement considering ride comfort, which is suggested Ho-nam high speed railway design standard. In this study, it was investigated and evaluated to the dynamic behavior for tow plate Girder railway bridge subjected to moving load considering real high speed train loads.

A dynamic characteristics of existing steel plate girder railway bridges without ballast were investigated from the finite element analysis. Span lengths, types of vehicle and running speeds are selected as parameters for analyses. For more exact analysis, it was adopted that 3-dimensional bridge models and wheel loads were produced by averaging field measured wheel loads of running vehicles at various speeds. Dynamic vertical deflections, dynamic amplification factors and vertical accelerations of bridges having 9m, 12m and 18m span length were investigated and compared with the limit values specified in Korean railway bridge specification.

There has been a strong demand on more economic and lower depth girder bridges for short and medium span range, PRECOM, which is a new type steel-concrete composite girder, has been developed to realize a more economic bridge system with a lower depth girder. In the PRECOM girder bridge, a steel plate girder is simply supported and then concrete form is hung to girder. Thus, the self-weight of the concrete is loaded to the steel girder. To increase the resistance of concrete in the lower casing against tensile stress, compressive force is introduced by prestressed tendon To evaluate the manufacturability and performances of the completed bridge, four 15-m girders and a bridge specimen with two 20m girders wvere constructed. The camber during the construction and introduction of an appropriate compressive force was evaluated. Dynamic data were obtained through the modal testing of the completed girders. Static loading test was also conducted to examine cracks and evaluate the decrease in stiffness and failure behavior under extreme conditions.

An ultimate strength evaluation of the through plate girder bridge using nonlinear inelastic analysis is presented. In this method, separate member capacity checks after analysis are not required, because the stability and strength of the structural system and its component members can be rigorously treated in analysis. The method captures the inelastic redistribution of internal forces throughout a structural system, and allows an economic use of material for highly indeterminate steel bridges.

In this paper, we introduce the Partial Half-Through Type Plate Girder Bridge proposed by Hyundai Development Co. and KRTC Consortium in Turn-Key Based design last year, and this type of bridge may be adapted to the railway bridge under similar conditions. This bridge across the North Han River was to be concerned its find view and the protection of water source. For its location is inside the dam, it required the long span and the clearance for the flood also. Its new composite section was able to diminish the deflection and vibration. Its shop-fabrication could control its quality easily, and might to be launched. This structural type have satisfied its functions, construction situations, and overall safeties, so this is the field-oriented type. However the composition and connections of the proposed members are different to the recent forms, and difficult to be applied to present specifications. Therefore it requires a certification on the application for more safety by not only analytical verifications but also experimental studies. Nevertheless, this type of bridge may have some more applications from now on.
