For the evaluation of load carrying capacity of continuous bridges, the testing target span should be selected where peak impact factor can be expected. In this paper, two and three continuous bridges with equal span length are considered and the moving vehicle load analysis is performed. All possible vehicle speeds are applied to the bridges and the peak impact factors obtained for each span are investigated. From the results, the maximum peak impact factors are developed at the middle of the first span to the direction of vehicle moving.

The goal of this experimental works is to evaluate the influence of shear strength according to shear span to depth ratio of RC deep beam with high-strength hooked bars. A total of 3 specimens were constructed and tested in three-point bending up to failure. The test variables included the shear span to depth ratio (0.75, 1.0, 1.25). Specimens had a failure mode of shear fracture. For specimen with shorter shear span to depth ratio, it showed that maximum shear strength was higher and that more brittle behavior occurred.

From test results, it showed that maximum shear strength of specimen with shorter shear span to depth ratio was higher.

Four shear-deficient reinforced concrete (RC) beam specimens with different shear span ratios were tested using a well-instrumented drop-weight impact machine to gain a better understanding of the effect of shear span ratio on impact behavior of RC beams strengthened with carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP). The results demonstrated that the shear span ratio could change the failure modes for strengthened specimens and also affect the impact resistance.

This study has been considering cable stayed bridge for structural health monitoring purpose . To monitor the bridge, 6 different locations (like 2 points from deck, 2 points from pylon, 1 points from side span and 1 points from girder) were introduce to find the satellite signal received from the GPS antenna. According to the World Geodetic System 1984(WGS-84) coordinate system, the GPS station signal was measured in the 6 observed points. After that, Statistical moment analysis is applied to assess the condition of those 6 position of this long span bridge. Finally, the Statistical moment analysis results clearly indicate the present condition of the long span bridge at 6 different locations. The time series statistical moments really able to detect the damage condition and localization of the long span bridge.

This study presents the results of an experimental program carried out for estimating the variation of the flexural rigidity of reinforced concrete beams with different shear span-to-depth ratios. The specimens are designed to have identical sectional dimension, tension and compression reinforcement ratios, and material properties, except shear span-to-depth ratio. Experimental results showed that the flexural rigidity of reinforced concrete beams was affected by the shear span-to-depth ratio of specimens.

This research is an experimental study attempting to use MR-dampers to control the complex behavior of multi-span bridge structures due to external loads such as seismic loads. For the purposes of this study, the model of components in each structure is identified, and then based on the results, a simplified system of the structure is derived. The performance of MR-dampers for complex behavior control is evaluated separately, according to the self-performance of MR-dampers and according to the performance based on applications of control algorithms. Based on the simplified system, Lyapunov control algorithm and Clipped-optimal control algorithm are applied. As a result, MR-damper is proven to be effective in the complex behavior control of multi-span bridge structures.

To ensure durability and light weight of bridges, high-strength concrete is required for long-span deck slabs. Such a technology eventually extends the life of bridges and improves the economic efficiency. The results of this study examines the minimum thickness of long-span deck slabs built with high strength concrete. The minimum thickness is examined based on the limit states indicated in the Korean Highway Bridge Design Code(limit state design).

본 연구의 목적은 고강도 SFRC 보의 강섬유 보강효과를 평가하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위하여 13개의 실험체를 제작하여 성능실험을 실시하였다. 실험 변수는 전단경간비, 강섬유 혼입률, 전단보강근비이며 콘크리트 강도는 60 MPa이다. 기존 연구결과와 재료 및 부재 실험결과에 대한 분석에 의하면, 전단경간비 2.5와 강섬유 혼입률 1.0%인 경우가 강섬유 보강효과가 최대로 발휘되는 것으로 평가되었다. 강섬유 보강 및 전단경간비를 고려한 기존 전단내력식은 고강도 SFRC보의 내력을 과소평가하는 것으로 평가되었다. 향후 고강도 SFRC 보의 강도특성에 대한 보완 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

Structural damping includes material damping, friction effects at bearing and expansion joints, friction at bolted joints and mechanical damping by damper. There is not analytical basis for estimating the damping ratios. Structural damping ratios can be estimated by measuring forced vibration amplitude of a certain mode but it is almost impossible to vibrate the actual bridges to a certain mode by force. Therefore, RD technique utilizing a lot of ambient vibration data can be a practical method to estimate damping ratio. In this study, the damping ratio is estimated by analyzing the ambient vibration data of three steel cable stayed bridges.
