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.

강교량은 유지관리가 충분히 이루어지지 않거나 , 해안 과 같이 가설위치의 환경이 고온 다습한 경우 단면에 국부적인 부식손상이 발생할 수 있다. 특히 강거더 교량 의 지점부에서는 교대부와 강거더 단부의 공간이 협소하여 상대적으로 습도가 높고 신축이음부로부터의 강 우 및 동결 방지제가 누수되어 침전물을 습윤상태로 유지하게 되므로, 복부판과 지점부 보강재에 집중적으로 부식이 발생되고 있으므로 이로 인한 구조성능 변화를 확인하여야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실제 발생할 수 있는 강거더 단부 복부판과 보강재의 국부부식손상을 모사한 강 재 실험체를 제작하고 이에 대한 단부 지압강도 변화를 실험적으로 평가하였다. 실험결과, 국부적 부식손상은 강거더 단부의 지압강도에 영향 을 주며, 특히 수직 보강재에 의한 영향이 크게 나타남을 확인하였다.

In recent days, many damages have been detected in superannuated bridges. Especially, the fatigue problems become serious in the maintenance of the bridges. It is important to investigate the load bearing capacity of the girder ends ability when some crack damages have occurred in the steel bridge. In this study, typical crack damages have dealt with analytically; one is the crack which occurred in the vicinity of the welding of the sole plate, the other is the crack which occurred in the vicinity of the gusset section of the web. Based on the analytical results, the relation between the load carrying capacity at the girder end and the crack length/direction is discussed. The crack occurred in the part which a tension field forms with cracks of steel girder on which shearing force acts in analysis in case a crack occurs, it turned out that reduction of ultimate shear strength is large.

A cantilever end zone of PSC box girder is cracked frequently by unequal drying shrinkage and tension tie phenomenons. This study is going to show design check process on demonstration to combine above two phenomenons. The case study will contribute to quality improvement using this result.
