단층 래티스 돔에 사용되는 접합부는 그 형태나 접합방법에 따라 다양한 거동 특성을 지닌다. 볼 조인트의 경우, 다루기 쉽고 현장 적용에 유리하지만, 강성과 내력이 약하기 때문에 장스팬의 확보에 있어서 불리하다. 용접 접합부는 볼 조인트에 비해 강성과 내력이 우수하고, 장스팬을 확보할 수 있지만, 용접 접합부에 관한 연구 및 실험은 드문 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 단층 래티스 돔에 적용 가능한 용접 접합부를 제안하고, 이를 기존접합부와의 비교하기 위한 실험을 수행하였다. 또한 제안된 접합부에 대해 삽입 플레이트의 길이, 두께, 여장을 변수로 하여 각각의 변수에 의한 실험체의 거동의 변화를 살펴보았다. 실험을 통한 결과를 토대로 하여 새로운 형태의 용접 접합부를 제안하고자 한다.

In the companion paper, a simple but effective analysis procedure termed an Improved Modal Pushover Analysis (IMPA) is proposed to estimate the seismic capacities of multi-span continuous bridge structures on the basis of the modal pushover analysis, which considers all the dynamic modes of a structure. In contrast to previous studies, the IMPA maintains the simplicity of the capacity-demand curve method and gives a better estimation of the maximum dynamic response in a bridge structure. Nevertheless, to verify its applicability, additional parametric studies for multi-span continuous bridges with large differences in the length of adjacent piers are required. This paper, accordingly, concentrates on a parametric study to review the efficiency and limitation in the application of IMPA to bridge structures through a correlation study between various analytical models including the equivalent single-degree-of-freedom method (ESDOF) and modal pushover analysis (MPA) that are usually used in the seismic design of bridge structures. Based on the obtained numerical results, this paper offers practical guidance and/or limitations when using IMPA to predict the seismic response of a bridge effectively.

There are many studies on the optimization of steel trusses in literature; and, a large number of them include a shape optimization. However, only a few of these studies are focused on the prestressed steel trusses. Therefore, this paper aims to determine the amounts of the material and cost savings in steel plane trusses in the case of prestressing. A parallel-chord simply supported steel truss is handled as an example to evaluate the used approach. It is considered that prestressing tendon is settled under the bottom bar, between two end supports, using deviators. Cross-sections of the truss members and height of the truss are taken as the design variables. The prestress losses are calculated in two steps as instantaneous losses and time-dependent losses. Tension increment in prestressing tendon due to the external loads is also considered. A computer program based on genetic algorithm is developed to solve the optimization problem. The handled truss is optimized for different span lengths and different tendon eccentricities using the coded program. The effects of span length and eccentricity of tendon on prestressed truss optimization are investigated. The results of different solutions are compared with each other and those of the non-prestressed solution. It is concluded that the amounts of the material and the cost of a steel plane truss can be reduced up to 19.9% and 14.6%, respectively, by applying prestressing.

This research investigate the behavior of reinforced normal and lightweight aggregate concrete hollow core slabs with different core shapes, shear span to effective depth (a/d). The experimental work includes testing seven reinforced concrete slabs under two vertical line loads. The dimensions of slab specimens were (1.1 m) length, (0.6 m) width and (0.12 m) thickness. The maximum reduction in weight due to aggregate type was (19.28%) and due to cross section (square and circular) cores was (17.37 and 13.64%) respectively. The test results showed that the decrease of shear span to effective depth ratio from 2.9 to 1.9 for lightweight aggregate solid slab cause an increase in ultimate load by (29.06%) and increase in the deflection value at ultimate load or the ultimate deflection by (17.79%). The use of lightweight aggregate concrete in casting solid slabs give a reduction in weight by (19.28%) and in the first cracking and ultimate loads by (16.37%) and (5%) respectively for constant (a/d=2.9).The use of lightweight aggregate concrete in casting hollow circular core slabs with constant (a/d=2.9) (reduction in weight 32.92%) decrease the cracking and ultimate loads by (12%) and (5.18%) respectively with respect to the solid slab. These slab specimens were analyzed numerically by using the finite element computer program ANSYS. Good agreements in terms of behavior, cracking load (load at first visible crack) and ultimate load (maximum value of testing load) was obtained between finite element analysis and experimental test results.

Noise and vibration induced by subway operation are one of the major factor which annoy residents living near railway tracks. While lateral vibration is a major factor in analyzing seismic effect of the structure, vertical vibration became a major concern in considering the subway induced vibration because relatively smaller energy affects only nearby areas than that of earthquake. A characteristics of structural response induced by subway operation has been studied with different total height of the building and different number of spans. Also the frame with different span length has been studied. As the numbers of degrees freedom increase the higher mode effect on vertical vibration increases. Accordingly, the total affecting vertical modes are distributive as the numbers of degrees of freedom increase. Though the total degree of freedom increases, only some of the dominant modes actively affects to the vertical response of the structure. A frame with the number of equal spans could be analyzed by replacing the whole frame as one when we want to predict the response of the vertical vibration. Also it has been found that the seperate frame analysis will give little different result when adjacent span is relatively longer than others.

One of the biggest problems affecting bridges is the transverse cracking and deterioration of concrete bridge decks. The causes of early age cracking are primarily attributed to plastic shrinkage, temperature effects, autogenous shrinkage, and drying shrinkage. The cracks can be influenced by material characteristics, casting sequence, formwork, climate conditions, geometry, and time dependent factors. The cracking of bridge decks not only creates unsightly aesthetic condition but also greatly reduces durability. It leads to a loss of functionality, loss of stiffness, and ultimately loss of structural safety. This investigation consists of field, laboratory, and analytical phases. The experimental and field testing investigate the early age transverse cracking of bridge decks and evaluate the use of sealant materials. The research identifies suitable materials, for crack sealing, with an ability to span cracks of various widths and to achieve performance criteria such as penetration depth, bond strength, and elongation. This paper also analytically examines the effect of a wide range of parameters on the development of cracking such as the number of spans, the span length, girder spacing, deck thickness, concrete compressive strength, dead load, hydration, temperature, shrinkage, and creep. The importance of each parameter is identified and then evaluated. Also, the AASHTO Standard Specification limits liveload deflections to L/800 for ordinary bridges and L/1000 for bridges in urban areas that are subject to pedestrian use. The deflection is found to be an important parameter to affect cracking. A set of recommendations to limit the transverse deck cracks in bridge decks is also presented.

A new-type of FRP-concrete composite bridge deck system is proposed and its behaviors are experimentally studied. The new-typedeck consists of FRP as a permanent form and main tension resisting member and concrete as a compression resisting member. A suitable bonding method such as silica coating is applied to the interface between FRP and concrete to ensure composite behavior. The proposed deck system uses the box-shape FRP member, while a typical FRP-concrete composite deck uses the I-shape FRP member. Theproposed deck system has inherent advantages of a FRP-concrete composite deck like corrosion free and easy construction. The new-type deck shows the equal performances compared to a previous one, and has the advantage of reducing self-weight. In this study, the static tests on 3-span FRP-concrete decks in full scale are carried out, so that load-displacement relation, stress distribution, failure mode and design criteria are analyzed. The test results show that the deflection design criterion (L/800, L: span length) is satisfied at the service load state. No concrete tensile crack occurs in the negative moment region above the main girder, regardless of no tensile reinforcement at upper concrete portion.

본 연구에서는 국토해양부와 통계청에서 제공하는 '도로교량 및 터널 현황' 통계자료를 이용하여 상부구조 형식, 경간장 등을 주요변수로 국내 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 교량의 현황조사 및 비교, 분석을 수행하였다. 경간장 50~100m인 경우 약 76% 이상이 강박스거더교로서 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 교량은 상대적으로 작은 비율을 나타내었다. 따라서 경간장 50~100m에 강박스거더교를 대체하여 적용할 수 있는 고강도 강선 및 고강도 콘크리트를 적용한 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 교량의 개발과 적용이 필요하며, 이를 통해 보다 경제적인 교량 설계 및 시공이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
