This paper introduces general concepts of jointless bridges and field construction case of semi-integral bridge with psc girder integrating end-diaphragm. The expansion joints need to satisfy thermal and safety conditions of bridges. General bridges with joints have some problems, which are frequently replacement cycle time from mechanical damage or unstable movement, maintenance cost and more. To solve these problems, Integral Abutment Bridges(IAB) have been applied overseas in the 1930s. In Korea, first IAB was constructed in the early 2000s and precast IAB systems was invented and applied lately. Kyungshin overpass bridge in Incheon is the Semi-IAB constructed, the span length is 2@35=70m and the width is 13.9m. The original plan was to use general joint bridge but design field changed with expectations for advanced economic estimation and maintenance. This changed method of B.I.B bridge construction provided not only workability, construction cost but also safety improvement at the same time.

The 44 events of high tides recorded in the Joseonwangjo-silog (1392-1903) were investigated and analyzed. These 44 records were described with explanation in time sequence after conversion to Gregorean date. Among the 44 events listed in the Joseonwangjo-silog, one event which took place in Youngjo 17th (1741), was caused by the underwater seismic earthquake, and the others were all associated with the storm surges. And the 36 events took place in the western coast, the 7 events in the eastern coast, and the only 3 events in the southern coast.
This case study is evaluation of pier safety for horizontal displacement come from a pile of rock muck under construction, restoration measure and application of repair and reinforcement.
