This paper presents the performance verification test and nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete(RC) strut and concrete filled tube(CFT) strut using super concrete(SC; high strength concrete) for bridges. Reinforce concrete strut as well as CFT strut are poured by 80MPa characteristic strength and CFT strut are used steel pipe with 400 MPa yield strength. Test specimen are manufactured 3 types of strut that 2 types of RC strut and 1 type of CFT strut. Nonlinear finite element analysis was conducted by ABAQUS of commercial FEM software. The results of real scale test specimens are compared with the finite element nonlinear analysis output through load-displacement relation. Through this study, it was investigated that the results of the experiment and those of the analysis are adequately similar.

In this study, to examine the application of strut of high strength concrete, an parameter study was performed. High strength concrete has high capacity for the strut member, especially 80MPa concrete strut has equal quality to 40MPa concrete strut with FRP. Also it is insignificant that the difference of member force between variation in boundary condition on the strut of PSC Box Girder.

In this study, to examine the application of strut of high strength concrete, an experimental study and analysis was performed. High strength concrete has high capacity for the strut member, especially 80MPa concrete strut has equal quality to 40MPa concrete strut with FRP.

This paper presents an nonlinear analysis to investigate the high strength concrete through the comparison with the concrete filled steel tubes and concrete filled GFRP. As a result, the high strength concrete has higher strength than the normal strength concrete filled CFGFRP that is widely used for the compressive strut member of the PSC Box Girder bridge. Therefore, it is confirmed that the high strength concrete is appropriate for the compressive struts of the PSC Box Girder Bridge.

본 연구에서는 고유동 고강도 콘크리트의 현장타설에의 적용성 검토를 위해 거푸집의 측압검토를 수행하였다. 이를 위해 타설높이 및 타설속도를 주요변수로 정하여 실험체를 제작한 후, 수행한 실험으로부터 측압 및 온도변화를 측정하였다. 고유동 고강도 콘크리트의 최대 측압은 굳지 않은 콘크리트의 측압으로 나타났으며, 타설 직후 측압이 감소하기 시작하여 12시간 이후 안정화를 보였다. 3~4시간 이후 안 정화가 나타나는 보통 콘크리트와 측압이 감소하는 경향은 유사하다. 타설속도가 빠를수록 최대 측압이 크게 발생하였으며, 시간의 경과에 따른 감소량은 거의 유사하였다. 또한 수화열과 측압감소 사이에 직접적인 연관성은 나타나지 않았다.

These days structures with ultra high strength concrete and steel are increasing because of the rising demands for high-rise buildings and long span bridges. The techniques of high strength material has been developed rapidly, as they have a lot of benefits such as the reduction of the amount. In this paper, we performed the basic research of practical application examples of the bridge and the structural characteristics of ultra-high-strength concrete and steel strand.

A deterioration of typical reinforced concrete bridge deck is due to the use of calcium chloride, cracks and water penetration inside of the deck slab with steel reinforcement. Therefore, in order to eliminate the defects of reinforced-concrete decks in terms of material, the steel-straped deck system is studied and developed by maximizing the arching effect while the girders are restrained using straps in lateral direction to the bridge. This parametric study was performed to analyze the structural characteristics of steel-straped deck, and to identify the factors of the thickness, span length and lateral restraint stiffness of deck slab considering the concrete nonlinearity.
