Some as-built drawings in national roadway bridges in Korea were examined. There are many bridge piers, whose aspect ratios are in the vicinity of 2.5. These columns are expected to do shear-flexure behaviour and have large scale effect between full and reduced scale model. In the study, full and 1/2 scale model tests on the shear-flexure behaviour columns were carried out. The seismic performance of existing bridge piers without seismic details were examined by Quasi Static Test

국내 일반 국도상의 교량을 분석한 결과 형상비가 2.5 내외로서 휨-전단 파괴 거동이 예측되는 교각이 다수 존재하는 것으로 나타났으나 기존의 교각 내진 특성 연구는 주로 휨 파괴 거동을 보이는 교각에 대해 수행되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 휨-전단 복합모드가 작용하여 파괴에 이를 가능성이 많은 형상비 2.5 내외인 기존 교각을 대상모델로 선정하고 실물크기 모형 및 축소모형 시험체를 제작하여 준정적 실험(quasi static test)을 수행하였다. 실험결과로부터 상사효과(scale effect)가 교각 내진 성능평가에 미치는 영향을 분석하였고, 또한 비내진 상세인 실험대상 교량에 대해 역량스펙트럼법을 이용하여 내진성능을 평가하였다.

The past bridge design specifications of Korea didn't include 1imitation on the amount of lap splices in the plastic hinge zone of piers, and so do current specifications. But these specifications include just limitation on the minimal length of lap splices. Thus, a large majority of non-seismically designed bridge piers may have lap splices in plastic hinge zone. In this study, model pier was selected among existent bridge piers whose failure mode is complex shear-flexure mode. Full scaled RC pier models whose aspect ratio is about 2.67 were constructed and quasi static test according to the drift level history was implemented. From the test results, effect of the lap splices on the seismic performance of bridges piers was analyzed, and the seismic capacity of the model bridges was evaluated by capacity spectrum method.

Presence of torsional loadings can significantly affect the flow of internal forces and deformation capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) columns. It increases the possibility of brittle shear failure leading to catastrophic collapse of structural members. This necessitates accurate prediction of the torsional behaviour of RC members for their safe design. However, a review of previously published studies indicates that the torsional behaviour of RC members has not been studied in as much depth as the behaviour under flexure and shear in spite of its frequent occurrence in bridge columns. Very few analytical models are available to predict the response of RC members under torsional loads. Softened truss model (STM) developed in the University of Houston is one of them, which is widely used for this purpose. The present study shows that STM prediction is not sufficiently accurate particularly in the post cracking region when compared to test results. An improved analytical model for RC square columns subjected to torsion with and without axial compression is developed. Since concrete is weak in tension, its contribution to torsional capacity of RC members was neglected in the original STM. The present investigation revealed that, disregard to tensile strength of concrete is the main reason behind the discrepancies in the STM predictions. The existing STM is extended in this paper to include the effect of tension stiffening for better prediction of behaviour of square RC columns under torsion. Three different tension stiffening models comprising a linear, a quadratic and an exponential relationship have been considered in this study. The predictions of these models are validated through comparison with test data on local and global behaviour. It was observed that tension stiffening has significant influence on torsional behaviour of square RC members. The exponential and parabolic tension stiffening models were found to yield the most accurate predictions.

1989년 로마프리타지진 및 1995년 효고현 남부지진등 많은 교각에서 휨-전단 파괴에 의한 피해가 발생하였다. 그럼에도 불구하고 지금까지의 교각의 내진성능에 관한 연구는 대부분 휨파괴에 대한 연구가 지배적이었다. RC 교각의 내진성능은 교각의 소성힌지구간의 성능에 좌우되고 있으며, 소성힌지의 연성은 곡률에 의해 평가하는 것이 바람직하다. 실험연구는 지진하중의 손상을 입은 RC교각의 휨전단거동에 관한 소성힌지구간 내의 곡률변화를 평가하였다. 실험에 사용된 7기의 실험체는 형상비 2.5에 횡방향 구속력, 주철근의 겹침이음 그리고 섬유보강을 변수로 가지고 있다. 이 실험체는 유사동적실험 수행을 통해 손상을 주었으며, 유사동적실험 후에는 일정한 축력,$P=0.1f_{ck}A_g$을 유지하면서 변위제어방식으로 유사정적실험을 실시하여 잔류내진성능을 평가하였다. 실험 결과 기초에서 15cm 구간에 가장 큰 곡률이 발생하였으며 파괴도 이 단면에 집중되었다. 또한, 연성도 분석결과 주철근이 겹침이음 된 RC 교각이 낮은 곡률연성도를 보였으며, 이를 섬유보강한 실험체의 휨강성과 곡률연성도는 현저히 개선되었다. 그리고, 교각의 곡률변화를 분석하여 횡구속력을 고려한 등가소성힌지길이 산정식을 제안하였으며, 이 제안된 식을 적용하여 변위연성도와 곡률연성도 관계를 분석하였다.
