The newly proposed Precast Segmental Mettled (PSM), which makes use of precast elements for election, is relatively new, efficient and fast mettled for the construction of prestressed box girder bridges. A precast segment of 25m long pretensioned in the fabrication yard is transported by a special trailer and a launching truss to its final position. The segments are then connected in the site by post-tensioning to make a continuous prestressed concrete box girder bridges. The purpose of this parer is to analyze and evaluate the design of precast prestressed concrete box girder bridges. The detailed analyses including time-dependent behavior of PSM bridges are conducted. The major results and findings, which have been obtained from finite element analysis of PSM bridge, are discussed in this paper and these results will be a good base for the design and analysis of a new precast bridges.

In this study, an investigation on the geometry control of the precast segmental method(PSM) was performed and GEOCON was developed. It is an interactive software to control the 3-dimensional geometry of precast segmental bridges during the construction progress. Specially, this paper emphasized that the fabrication stage of the precast segment is the most important for the geometry control in the PSM and also descussed about some problems which can be overlooked in developing and using the geometry control softwares by explaining the GEOCON's characteristics. GEOCON was successfully applied to the surrounding road of Pusan harbor.

The occurrence of unexpected horizontal offset in the instrument or target will result in accumulated horizontal deviation in segment alignment with traditional short-line match method. A geometry control method, the four-point method, is developed for precast segmental bridges to avoid the influences of unexpected horizontal offset. The concept of the four-point method is elucidated. Furthermore, the detailed instruments and instructions are introduced. Finally, the four-point method is validated through a practical engineering application. According to the survey data, after short-line match precast construction, the vertical deviations on both sides vary between -5 mm and 5 mm in almost all segments, and the horizontal deviations vary between -4 mm and 4 mm in all segments. Without on-site adjustment, the maximum vertical and horizontal closure gaps are 12.3 and 26.1 mm, respectively. The four-point method is suggested to alleviate the issues associated with relatively poor soil conditions in casting yard.

One of the main objectives of this study is to propose a realistic limit state model for reliability-based safety assessment of precast segmental prestressed concrete box girder bridges, considering 1) combined effects of bending, shear and torsional forces, and 2) the difference between transverse reinforcments of box girder. A improved limit state model is derived from a modified interaction equation compared with the Bruno's equation. A Drectional sampling algorithm is used for reliability analysis of the proposed model.

최근 프리캐스트 PSC 거더 형식의 교량이 널리 시공되고 있으며, 거더의 경간과 운송제한을 극복하기 위하여 분절거더의 시공이 증가하고 있다. 분절 공법을 적용한 세그먼트 간의 접합면에는 불연속면이 존재할 수 있으므로 교량의 건전성에 있어 접합부의 일체거동이 매우 중요하다. 분절 접합부는 접합부의 형태, 전단키 유무, 구속력의 크기에 따라 거동차이를 보이기 때문에 이러한 영향인자를 변수로 한 접합부 거동 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 프리캐스트 PSC 거더교의 접합부 거동을 평가하기 위하여 전단키의 형상, 구속력 도입여부를 변수로 한 전단키 유한요소해석과 축소모형시험을 실시하고, 그 결과를 비교하여 전단키와 구속력 효과를 평가하였으며, 접합부에 1/2~1/3의 돌출높이비를 갖는 전단키를 설치하고 콘크리트 강도의 1/2 수준의 구속력을 도입하는 것이 분절 접합부 거동향상에 효과적이라는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 분절 공법으로 시공된 실제 프리캐스트 PSC 거더 교량의 재하시험을 실시하고 접합부 세그먼트 간의 처짐차이를 측정하여 분절부 거동을 평가하는 방법을 제안하였다.

In recent years, precast prestressed concrete segmental box girder bridges have been increasingly constructed Expansion disphragm segment of this type bridge transfers forces from the superstructure onto bearing or column, and plays an important roll of anchorage zone for longitudinal prestressed forces. Non-linear stresses occur inside of diaphragms by these extensive concentrated forces. In this study, the strut-and-tie models are proposed to design an expansion segment rationally. A formula to determine the effective transverse prestressed forces is proposed on the basis of these models. The present study is expected to provide an effective tool to design expansion segment of prestressed concrete bridges rationally.

The design of segmental bridges, a structure that typically employs precast prestressed concrete elements and the balanced cantilever construction method for the deck, may demand a highly complex structural analysis for increased precision of the results. This work presents a comprehensive numerical analysis of a 3D finite element model using the software ANSYS, version 21.2, to simulate the constructive deck stages of the New Guaiba Bridge, a structure located in Porto Alegre city, southern Brazil. The materials concrete and steel were considered viscoelastic. The concrete used a Generalized Kelvin model, with subroutines written in FORTRAN and added to the main model through the customization tool UPF (User Programmable Features). The steel prestressing tendons used a Generalized Maxwell model available in ANSYS. The balanced cantilever constructive steps of a span of the New Guaiba Bridge were then numerically simulated to follow the actual constructive sequence of the bridge. A comparison between the results obtained with the numerical model and the actual vertical displacement data monitored during the bridge's construction was carried out, showing a good correlation.

본 연구는 일체형과 분절형 거더의 거동차이 최소화 및 PSI(Precast PSC-Segmental I Grider)거더의 역학적 거동 특성을 실험적으로 검증하기 위하여 실물 크기의 거더를 일체형(CG)실험체 1본, 분절형(SGT1, SGT2, SGT3)실험체 3본을 제작하여 실험을 수행하였다. 일체형(CG)실험체는 단 경간으로 25 m의 길이로 제작하였고, 분절형 실험체는 각 세그멘트를 5 m 길이로 제작하고 1차 긴장력을 도입하여 하나의 거더로 일체화 시킨 후, 슬래브를 타설한 다음 2차 긴장력을 도입하는 방법으로 제작하였다. 실험결과 모멘트는 실험값과 이론값의 오차가 매우 작거나 실험값이 이론값에 비해 약간 더 큰 것으로 나타나 PSI거더의 이론이 신뢰성이 있는 것으로 나타났다.

This study is intended to propose practical but systematic and rational approaches for proof load test and integrity assessment of segmental PC box-girder bridges. The proposed models cover the whole range of field tests and assessment of such as inspections, nondestructive tests, static and dynamic load tests, structural analysis, and integrity assessment for the evaluation of load carrying capacity, serviceability, and durability of PC box-girder bridges. They are applied to a newly constructed precast segmental PC box-girder bridge which is a part of the Seoul interior circuit elevated expressway.

The construction of segmental precast concrete bridge is an increase due to its superior performance and economic advantages. This type of bridge is appropriate for spans within 30 to 150 m (100 to 500 ft), known as mega-projects and the design optimization would lead to considerable economic benefits. A box-girder cross section superstructure of balanced cantilever construction method is assessed here. The depth of cross section, (variable along the span linearly), bottom flange thickness, and the count of strands are considered as design variables. The optimum design is characterized by geometry, serviceability, ductility, and ultimate limit states specified by AASHTO. Genetic algorithm (GA) is applied in two fronts: as to the saving in construction cost 8% and as to concrete volume 6%. The sensitivity analysis is run by considering different parameters like span/depth ratio, relation between superstructure cost, span length and concrete compressive strength.
