The objective of this study is the compensation countermeasure following settlement of culvert which is installed to the back of abutment as a whole, cause analysis about settlement, considering rational repair reinforcement method, and researching the points to be considered for structure design and construction.
In this study, the process for the cause of lateral movement of bridges is suggested. Based on the monitoring of shoe and pier movement, the lateral movement of birdges is studied. As a result, the process is applicable for the small lateral movement of the bridges.
In this study, the rahmen bridge damaged by the chloride attack was investigated. According to the investigation, the degraded concretes on cantilever kerb and end part were intensively observed. Thus, the chloride content test and half-cell method were performed to evaluate the degraded parts. As a result, the contents of chloride on degraded parts were C and D grade. On the other hand, the half-cell potential values of rebar in degraded concrete were measured with the minor corrosion. Thus, the freeze-thawing action due to deicing water is more influential than the expansion of rebar corrosion by chloride attack. Consequently, the economical repairs of degraded parts is more favorable than the replacement of the degraded parts. Also, it is necessary to inhibit the corrosion of rebar in concrete.
