UHPFRC 15 M 분절형 박스거더에 대한 비선형 재료 및 비선형 기하학적 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. UHPFRC의 인장 및 압축 영역에서의 구성방정식은 공시체 시험을 기반으로 하였고, 체적 대비 강섬유 혼입률이 각각 1.0%, 1.5% 및 2.0%에 대해 해석을 수행하였다. UHPFRC를 위한 3차원 8 node hexahedron brick model과 1차원 embedded steel element를 기반으로 모델링하였다. UHPFRC 박스거더 단면에서 하부플랜지에 14개, 24개, 32개의 15.2mm 강연선을 모델링하여 실험결과와 비교하였다. 하중과 변위관계, 선형거동에서 비선형거동으로 변하는 시점에서 하중 및 중립축 변화 과정이 실험결과와 비교해 볼 때 정확하게 산출되었다. 따라서, 압축 및 인장구역에서 구성방정식을 반영한 재료적 비선형해석, UHPFRC 분절형 박스의 기하학적 비선형 해석이 유효함을 알 수 있다.

PURPOSES : Hollows are easily made, and bearing capacity can be lowered near underground structures because sublayers of pavement settle for a long time due to difficult compaction at the position. If loadings are applied in this condition, distresses may occur in pavement and, as the result, its lifespan can decrease due to the stress larger than that expected in design phase. Although reinforced slab is installed on side of box culvert to minimize the distresses, length of the reinforced slab is fixed as 6m in Korea without any theoretical consideration. The purpose of this paper is investigating the behavior of concrete pavement according to the cover depth of the box culvert ad the length of the reinforced slab. METHODS : The distresses of concrete pavement slabs were investigated and cover depth was surveyed at position where the box culverts were located in expressways. The concrete pavements including the box culverts were modeled by finite element method and their behaviors according to the soil cover depth were analyzed. Wheel loading was applied after considering self weight of the pavement and temperature gradient of the concrete pavement slab at Yeojoo, Gyeonggi where a test road was located. After installing pavement joint at various positions, behavior of the pavement was analyzed by changing the soil cover depth and length of the reinforced slab. RESULTS : As the result, the tensile stress developed in the pavement slab according to the joint position, cover depth, and reinforced slab length was figured out. CONCLUSIONS : More reasonable and economic design of the concrete pavement including the box culvert is expected by the research results.

After the application of the formuar for the reinforcement index to the behavior of the UHPFRC box girders, reinforcement index does not determine the characteristic of behavior of UHPFRC box girder exactly. So the index should consider the dimension precisely and reference value corresponding to the 0.005 strain of the prestressing strands.

This paper presents a new strengthening method for underground RC box structures against seismic loads. Numerical results confirmed that the proposed pre-flexed member system can enhance the seismic capacity of the underground RC box structures.
