In this study, the severing tests of prestressing steel in old PSCI bridges were carried out. The behavior of the bridge is investigated by measuring the displacement and strain at midpoints of severing girder. The effects of severing some prestressing steel were not noticeable enough to be visible.

In this study, the grouting condition and the corrosion of prestressing steel in old PSCI bridges were investigated. There are many places where the construction quality of the grout is poor to prevent the corrosion of prestressing steel. Partial surface corrosion was found regardless of the construction condition of the grout.

It is necessary to improve the structure inspection system that integrates various new technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and the internet of things, which are core technologies of the 4th industrial revolution in oder to cope with continuously increase in the number of structures and to maintain efficient maintenance against aging.

Due to limited human resources, budget and difficulties in accessibility, inspections are not available at proper time. Advanced Technology such as ICT, Sensing, and AI can innovate the management of structure. So, we introduce our developed equipment and future management plan.

Road bridges are affected by de-icing chemicals, which are used to prevent snow and ice on the road. Corrosion of steel girders due to de-icing chemicals are becoming common problems. The deterioration of steel girder ends due to deck joint leakage and occasional spray from passing vehicles usually cause section losses and strength reduction. This report presents th results of a study carried out to repair corroded steel box girder bridge.

This study carried out an investigation about damage characteristic of substructure such as pier and abutment of highway bridge. The applied methodology was the average damage analysis according to service life. By using above methodology, damage characteristic of substructure penetrated water included de-icing salt was investigated. It was found that the area where was under heavy snow exhibited higher amount of average damage than that of the area where was under much less snow.

The maintenance costs will be increased due to the aging of the bridge. Thus, the maintenance strategy considering the damage characteristic of elements is needed for the efficient maintenance of the bridge. The objective of this research is to investigate the minimizing strategy of maintenance costs for highway bridges.

Life expectancy of bridges may be reduced mainly due to leakage, freeze-and-thaw, de-icing chemicals, and traffic volumes, which results in early deteriorations. This study suggests the bridge management strategies to extend the service life.

The Goal of research is that budget maintenance of Bridge Shoes in Highway were estimated in network-level bridges. We determined the life cycle of Bridge Shoes with HBMS(Highway Bridge Management System) data by the survival analysis probability model. We developed the method that predicted cost of maintenance in all bridge shoes of the highway bridge in Korea.

To suggest the preliminary data for effective maintenance of bridge structures, the damage patterns of expressway bridges are quantitatively analyzed in the present study. The defects are the primary damage, and the deterioration occurred around the joint.

We have carried out the bridge inspections according to the laws not considering the technical knowledge. It is reasonable to optimize the inspection practice within the limited resources. This study reviews the expressway bridge inspection types, interval, scheme and so on

The lifetime of painting is shorter than the lifetime of the bridge. Thus, ongoing maintenance for the lifetime of the bridge is needed. In addition, determination of the repainting period in order to maintenance costs predict is very important. In previous studies were calculated repainting period using survey of experts and some field data. In this study, the properties of the repainting period were analyzed using repainting data of bridge maintenance system.

일정 지역 교량 붕괴 DB를 활용하여 붕괴 원인을 파악하고 붕괴율과 붕괴확률을 결정하였다. 붕괴 원인을 타연구와 비교하였으며 주요 원인은 수압에 의해 발생함을 알 수 있었다. 매년 발생가능한 교량 붕괴율은 1/4,700정도 였으며, 이 수치는 미국 전역에 적용 가능할 것으로 추정한다. 현행 교량설계법과 비교하기 위해 설계수명 75년 동안의 파괴확률을 계산한 결과 1/63정도로서 LRFD 설계법에서 제시하는 파괴확률 1/5,000보다 높았다. 붕괴된 교량의 준공시점과 설계법 변천에 따른 붕괴율 차이는 확인하기 어려웠다. 미국 전체 교량에 대해 붕괴율을 적용한 결과 매년 87건에서 222건 정도의 붕괴가 발생할 것으로 예상한다.

Recently, most of concrete bridge deck in Two-Girder bridges have problem that transverse cracking has occurred. The Causes of Cracks in slabs of Two-Girder bridges are the mutual combination of several factors, such as concrete mix, the change in curvature due to the continuous pouring, heat of hydration, and plastic shrinkage. In this paper, Step-by-step analysis was carried out using the tensile stress of the concrete deck construction considering of the nodal temperature distribution, and the time and temperature of the upper plate of the material changes, the drying shrinkage, creep. distribution reinforcement bars in order to prevent the construction of the initial concrete cracking tensile stress share all this stress were examined. In this paper, investigation for crack causes were conducted to design and improvements were developed for future design through the analysis of concrete tensile stress.
