This paper presents an optimum deck and girder system design for minimizing the life-cycle cost (LU) of steel box girder bridges. The problem of optimum LCC design of steel box girder bridges is formulated as that of minimization of the expected total LCC that consists of initial cost, maintenance cost, expected retrofit costs for strength, deflection, and crack. To demonstrate the effect of LCC optimum design of steel box girder bridges, the LCC optimum design is compared with conventional design method for steel box girder bridges design. From the numerical investigations, it may be positively stated that the optimum design of steel box girder bridges based on LCC will lead to more rational, economical and safer design.

A procedure of the design optimization for steel box girder bridges using micro genetic algorithms(μGA) is developed. The effect of population size is investigated and the efficiency and reliability of μGA is demonstrated in the optimum design of steel box girder bridges. Optimum design problems of steel box girder bridges are formulated, where tile design of concrete slab is based on the USD specifications and steel box girder based on LRFD respectively. Design of optimizations of single-span and 2-span steel box girder bridges are performed with the population size of 5, 40, 80, and 120, respectively The μGA-based optimum design of the 3-span steel box girder bridge is compared with SQP results.

본 논문에서는 강상자형교의 바닥판과 주형에 대한 생애주기비용(Life-Cycle Cost : LCC)를 고려한 최적설계 방법을 제안하였다. 생애주기비용의 최적설계 문제는 초기비용, 유지관리비용 그리고 강도와 처짐 그리고 균열에 대한 파손 기대비용의 최소화 문제로 정식화할 수 있다. 기존의 재래적인 설계방법과의 비교를 동해서 강상자형교의 생애주기비용 최적설계의 우수성을 입증하였다. 또한 수치적인 결과의 고찰을 통하여 LCC에 근거한 최적설계가 여타의 설계방법들보다 좀 더 합리적이고 경제적이며 안전한 설계를 유도하는 것으로 분석되었다.

Despite the number of steel bridges being under in service more than 50 years reaches about 50$\%$ in present, the quantitative estimation in maintenance on steel railway bridges is not possible because a ton of the field data in the bridges have not been plentifully accumulated. Therefore, a series of field tests on the steel plate girder bridge, the typical types of steel railway bridges, are executed, and the stress characteristics of main members in steel plate girder railway bridges are quantitatively estimated in this study.

To simplify the design and reduce the construction cost of traditional multi-girder structural systems, twin I-girder structures are widely used in many countries in recent years. Due to the concern on post-fracture redundancy, however, twin girder bridges are currently classified as fracture critical structures in AASHTO specifications for highway bridges. To investigate the after-fracture behavior of such structures, a composite steel and concrete twin girder specimen was built and an artificial fracture through the web and the bottom flange was created on one main girder. The static loading test was performed to investigate its mechanical performance after a severe fracture occurred on the main girder. Applied load and vertical displacement curves, and the applied load versus strain relationships at key sections were measured. To investigate the load distribution and transfer capacities between two steel girders, the normal strain development on crossbeams was also measured during the loading test. In addition, both shear and normal strains of studs were also measured in the loading test to explore the behavior of shear connectors in such bridges. The functions and structural performance of structural members and possible load transfer paths after main girder fractures in such bridges were also discussed. The test results indicate in this study that a typical twin I-girder can resist a general fracture on one of its two main girders. The presented results can provide references for post-fracture performance and optimization for the design of twin I-girder bridges and similar structures.

현재의 교량설계기준에서는 연속거더교량에 대한 활하중 분배계수 규정에 대해 명확한 언급이 되어있지 않다. 따라서 이 논문의 목적은 단순교에 사용되는 시방서 규정 활하중 분배계수가 연속거더교에도 적용이 가능한지를 유한요소해석에 의해 검증하는 것이다. 연속거더교에 대한 활하중 분배의 영향을 검증하기 위해 5개의 공용중인 연속교에 대한 유한요소해석을 실행하였으며 그 결과 연속교에서 정모멘트 구역과 부모멘트 구역에서 활하중의 분배 형태는 매우 비슷하다는 결론을 내릴 수 있었다. 또한 처짐값의 비교에서 얻어진 활하중의 분배와 변형율에 기본한 활하중의 분배 양상의 차이가 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 해석 결과 현재 사용되고 있는 설계기준의 활하중 분배에 대한 규정은 연속거더교에 대해 매우 보수적이라고 판단된다.

Structural optimization algorithm of steel box girder bridges using improved higher-order approximate reanalysis technique is proposed in this paper. The proposed approximation method is a generalization of the convex approximation method. The order of the approximate reanalysis for each function is analytically adjusted in the optimization process. This self-adjusted capability makes the approximate structural analysis values conservative enough to maintain the optimum design point of the approximate problem. The efficiency of proposed optimazation algorithm, compared with conventional algorithm, is successfully demonstrated in the steel box girder bridges. The efficiency and robustness of proposed algorithm is also demonstrated in practical steel box girder bridges.

A previous study evaluated the seismic response of typical multi-span simply supported (MSSS) and multi-span continuous (MSC) steel-girder bridges in the central and southeastern United States. The results showed that the bridges were vulnerable to damage resulting from impact between decks, and large ductility demands on nonductile columns. Furthermore, fixed and expansion bearings were likely to fail during strong ground motion. In this paper, several retrofit measures to improve the seismic performance of typical multi-span simply supported and multi-span continuous steel girder bridges are evaluated, including the use of elastomeric bearings, lead-rubber bearings, and restrainer cables. It is determined that lead-rubber bearings are the most effective retrofit measure for reducing the seismic vulnerability of typical bridges. While isolation provided by elastomeric bearings limits the forces into the columns, the added flexibility results in pounding between decks in the MSSS steel-girder bridge. Restrainer cables, which are becoming a common retrofit measure, are only moderately effective in reducing the seismic vulnerability of MSSS and MSC steel girder bridges.

Steel -Concrete Composite two girder railway bridges applying high performance steel with extra thick plate have economic and aesthetic advantages due to the simplification of manufacturing and construction process. However, steel bridges are seldom adopted in domestic railway bridge, since steel bridges are not efficient as R.C bridges considering dynamic characteristics and noise, etc. While highway bridges do not have lower horizontal bracing and larger interval of diaphragm cross beam, railway bridges install lower horizontal bracings to control the torsion due to heavy eccentrical line load. Accurate finite element analysis were performed with the parameters of existence of bracing and bracing shape, with the cross beam interval and stiffness, etc. To find out the effects of secondary members such as horizontal bracings and diaphragms, static md dynamic analysis have been performed by using finite element method. In this study, few member plate-girder bridges are analyzed with variable span lengths to examine the dynamic behavior and limits of damping. And though lateral bracings are members against torsion, but lateral bracing's absence is no big problem. Time history analysis using mode superposition method makes proof of this result.
