A two-hour fire-resistance PC hollow slab for residential use was developed to secure structural and fire-resistance performance and to be applied to the general building and apartment housing markets. Compared to the existing hollow slab, in order to secure the same or better structural performance and economic feasibility by reducing the quantity, it was attempted to secure the fire resistance performance by reducing the concrete filling rate in the cross section and adjusting the thickness of the upper and lower flanges by optimizing the hollow shape in the cross section of the slab. For structural performance evaluation, experiments were performed on PC hollow slabs by varying the member thickness and the presence or absence of overlaid concrete, and all of the experimental results showed that the design strength was sufficiently exhibited and that stability during construction was possible. The developed synthetic PC hollow slab has secured fire resistance and residential performance so that it can be applied to all buildings, and it is intended to be immediately applied to the field.

Recently, the use of transfer slab system has increased greatly. However, several construction problems are being encountered owing to its excessive thickness. Therefore, in this study, a transfer slab system that uses a reverse drop panel, which can utilize the facility space of the pit floor by reducing the transfer slab thickness, was considered. To investigate the shear behavior of transfer slab system that uses the reverse drop panel, the two-way shear strength of transfer slab-column connection with the reverse drop panel was analyzed using nonlinear FE analysis. In addition, the two-way shear strength evaluations of transfer slab with the reverse drop panel conducted using the existing evaluation methods were verified by comparing the strengths predicted by those methods with the results of nonlinear FE analysis.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study was to investigate the behaviors of the middle slab in a double-deck road tunnel subjected to construction equipment loading from such as a concrete pump car, concrete transmixer, and lifting crane. METHODS: The major construction processes of a middle slab include concrete placement, concrete transportation, and lifting of materials near the emergency passageway section. During the concrete placement, the middle slab is subjected to construction loading due to the presence of the concrete pump car and fully loaded concrete transmixer. During the concrete transportation, the middle slab is subjected to loadings from both the fully loaded and empty concrete transmixer. The emergency passageway section of the middle slab is subjected to crane loading during lifting work. The magnitudes and geometries of these construction loadings are determined and the stresses and deflections of the middle slab under these loadings are analyzed using finite element models of the middle slab. The behaviors of the middle slab under the design truck loadings are also analyzed to compare the results with those under construction loadings. RESULTS : The stresses and deflections of the middle slab under construction loadings are comparable to those under the design truck loadings. Higher stresses can be observed when the concrete transmixers cross paths at the expansion joint section of the middle slab. The behaviors of the middle slab under the construction loadings during concrete placement are very similar regardless of the section types of the middle slab such as the normal, expansion joint, and emergency passageway sections. CONCLUSIONS : When the middle slab is designed, the construction loadings should be considered to determine the primary design loads and to verify the usability of a variety of construction equipment.

Airport concrete pavement slabs show contraction and expansion behavior due to environmental factors such as temperature and humidity. Among the various environmental factors, temperature is the most influential factor in the concrete slab. However, it is inadequate to consider air temperature or surface temperature as influential factors especially for airport concrete slabs with very large thicknesses. Therefore, this study intends to utilize the equivalent linear temperature difference calculated from the data of the thermometer embedded in 5 depths(50mm, 150mm, 250mm, 350mm, 450mm) on the airport concrete slab. Equivalent linear temperature difference is the temperature difference between the uppermost and lowermost part of the concrete slab, which shows the same behavior due to actual temperature. Since the upper part of the concrete slab is more affected by air temperature than the lower part, the daily temperature range is large. Therefore, the equivalent linear temperature difference increases during the day and decreases at night, and concrete slabs show curl-down during the day and curl-up at night. This daily variation of curling behavior causes a difference in HWD experimental results. The HWD(Heavy Weight Deflectometer) test is mainly performed to investigate the condition of the pavement. And the calculated values are deflection, ISM(Impact Stiffness Modulus), LTE(Load Transfer Efficiency). The equivalent linear temperature difference represents the behavior of the concrete slab by the environmental load, and the calculated values by the HWD test represent the behavior. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the behavior of concrete slab by combined load including environmental load and traffic load through correlation analysis between these values. This study was supported by Incheon International Airport Corporation(BEX00625) and Korea Airports Corporation.

Airport concrete slabs behave by combined loads including environmental loads and traffic loads. To analyze the behavior of concrete slabs by combined load, the dynamic strain gages were embedded at 2 depths(50mm, 450mm) and 3 locations(corner, Center and Mid-Edge). And the thermometers were embedded at 5 depths(50mm, 150mm, 250mm, 350mm, 450mm) in actual airport concrete slabs. HWD(Heavy Weight Deflectometer) is a device to measure the deflection by applying an impact load. The values calculated by the HWD test are deflection, ISM(Impact Stiffness Modulus), LTE(Load Transfer Efficiency). Concrete slabs tend to expand during the summer when the temperature is high, and contract during the winter when the temperature is low. In addition, the drying shrinkage occurs as age increases. Field HWD test were conducted in March, May, August, and November to examine seasonal and age-specific changes. Furthermore, the temperature difference between top and bottom of concrete slabs causes the curl-up and curl-down behavior. The test was conducted 3 times at 12o`clock, 16o`clock, 21o`clock, 3o`clock, 7o`clock to examine temporal changes. The strain of the slab at HWD strike was measured 500 times per second because the strain occurred instantaneously, and the temperature was measure 1 times per 10 minutes. The calculated values and the measured values varied according to environmental loads. In order to examine these values in various angles, the equivalent linear temperature difference obtained by converting the temperature by depth into the uppermost lowermost temperature difference, the temperature of the slab which changes seasonally as a whole, and the drying shrinkage which occurs as the age increases are considered. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to clarify the behavior of concrete slabs by combined load considering long - term drying shrinkage, annual variation of temperature, and daily variations. This study was supported by Incheon International Airport Corporation(BEX00625) and Korea Airports Corporation.

Dynamic numerical simulation of pile-supported slab track system embedded in a soft soil and embankment was performed. 3D model was formulated in a time domain to consider the non-linearity of soil by utilizing FLAC 3D, which is a finite difference method program. Soil non-linearity was simulated by adopting the hysteric damping model and liner elements, which could consider soil-pile interface. The long period seismic loads, Hachinohe type strong motions, were applied for estimating seismic respose of the system, Parametric study was carried out by changing subsoil layer profile, embankment height and seismic loading conditions. The most of horizontal permanent displacement was initiated by slope failure. Increase of the embedded height and thickness of the soft soil layer leads increase of member forces of PHC piles; bending moment, and axial force. Finally, basic guidelines for designing pile-supported slab track system under seismic loading are recommended based on the analysis results.

An experimental study on the structural behavior of connection types between approach slab and integral abutment has been done for three typical bar connections. Typical hinge style reinforcing bar detail for its connection is preferred in order to accommodate rotation of the approach slab among engineers. However, the straight horizontal bars can be used as connection detail accomodate structural capacity. Total six specimens with three types of rebar detail are tested for direct tensile and bending load. The characteristic structural behaviors are carefully monitored and all the strain gauge data obtained are analyzed. It is shown that the structural performance of all the specimens well exceed its design allowance. Several design suggestions are given based on careful reviews on the experiment.

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.

PTAS의 한쪽 단부가 교대에 힌지로 연결되는 부분을 해석 모형에 적합하게 포함시킬 수 있는 방법을 마련하였으며, 접속슬래브의 헌치 부분을 삭제한 단순 형상의 접속슬래브 모델의 사용성도 분석하였다. 개발한 모델을 이용하여 교대 뒤채움부 침하에 의한 접속슬래브의 컬링 응력 특성을 분석하였다. 연구 결과, PTAS의 단순화 힌지를 포함한 단순 형상 모델은 실제 형상 모델의 최대인장응력을 산출하기에 적합한 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 컬업시에는 하부지반 침하가 없는 PTAS에서 최대인장응력이 도출되었으며, 컬다운 시에는 하부지반 침하가 진행된 PTAS에서 최대인장응력이 발생하므로 이러한 컬링 응력을 고려하여 설계를 수행하는 것이 적절할 것으로 분석되었다.

최근 들어 슬래브 차음성능에 대한 관심이 커지고 있으며 이에 대응하여 슬래브 두께 증가가 요구되고 있다. 또한 건축물의 효율적인 공간 활용을 위하여 장스팬의 바닥판 시스템이 많이 사용되고 있다. 이러한 요구를 만족하기 위해 개발된 바닥판 시스템중의 하나가 2방향 중공슬래브이다. 2방향 중공슬래브의 구조적 성능을 확인하기 위해서는 지진이 발생하였을 때의 안전성에 대한 검토가 반드시 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 재료비선형 시간이력해석을 통하여 2방향 중공슬래브의 지진하중에 대한 거동을 평가하였다. 효율적인 시간이력해석을 위하여 기존에 제안된 등가플레이트 모델을 사용하였고, 또한 유효보폭법을 적용한 비선형 모델을 이용하여 2방향 중공슬래브를 적용한 예제구조물의 내진성능을 평가하였다. 이를 통하여 2방향 중공슬래브를 사용한 구조물이 동일한 슬래브 두께의 일반 플랫 플레이트 구조물에 비하여 내진성능이 저하되지 않음을 확인 할 수 있었다.

본 연구는 프리스트레스가 도입된 접속슬래브(Single-PTAS: Single Post-Tensioned Approach Slab)의 긴장력 도입에 따른 거동과 환경하중에 대한 거동을 분석하기 위하여 시험시공 현장에서 실험을 통해 수행되었다. 실험을 위해 온도측정센서를 슬래브의 깊이에 따라 장착하였으며, 변위측정게이지를 슬래브의 여러 위치에 설치하여 환경하중 및 긴장력 도입에 따른 슬래브의 변위 변화를 3차원적으로 측정하였다. 실험결과 접속슬래브는 길이가 짧아 긴장력 도입에 의한 급격한 종방향 변위 변화는 관찰되지 않았다. 접속슬래브의 깊이별 일일 온도변화는 깊이가 약 35cm보다 깊을 경우에는 거의 발생하지 않았으며, 수직온도구배는 접속슬래브의 두께가 큰 교대부근에서는 포장과 인접하는 부근에서 보다 작아졌다. 컬링 시 수직변위의 변화 양상 및 크기는 측정 지점의 수직온도구배와 직접적으로 관계가 있었다. Single-PTAS의 거동을 분석한 결과 콘크리트 포장 슬래브와 매우 유사한 거동을 보였으며, 따라서 차륜하중만을 고려하여 단순보로 설계하고 있는 접속슬래브에 포장체의 개념을 도입한 설계방안의 정립이 필요한 것으로 판단되었다.

본 연구는 장스팬 콘크리트 포장 슬래브가 환경하중을 받아 컬링 거동을 할 때의 특성을 분석하기 위하여 수행되었다. 먼저 장스팬 포장 슬래브의 유한요소해석 모델을 구성하여 컬링 시 응력분포 특성 및 슬래브 길이, 두께, 하부지지층 강성, 슬래브 단부 구속 등이 컬링 거동에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 또한 실제 시공된 장스팬 포장 슬래브를 이용하여 현장에서 환경하중에 의한 거동을 측정함으로써 컬링 거동 특성을 실험적으로도 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 장스팬 포장 슬래브는 단부에서 부터 슬래브 중앙을 따라 어느 정도 안쪽으로 들어오면 컬링에 의한 수직변위가 발생하지 않으며 응력은 이곳에서부터 일정하게 최대치를 보이게 된다. 장스팬 포장 슬래브의 길이 및 하부지지층의 강성은 최대 컬링 응력에 영향을 미치지 않았으며, 슬래브 단부의 구속은 컬링 응력이 단부까지 발생하게 하지만 최대 컬링 응력의 크기에는 거의 영향을 미치지 않았다.

지반위에 놓인 콘크리트 슬래브가 온도하중을 받을 때 지반의 전단저항과 슬래브 하부와 지반과의 마찰 등에 의해 생기는 슬래브 하부의 수평저항을 고려하여 지반위에 놓인 콘크리트 슬래브의 거동을 분석하였다. 지반위의 콘크리트 슬래브와 강성도로포장의 해석에 널리 사용되는 탄성지반위의 얇은 판을 이용하여 슬래브 하부의 수평저항을 고려하기 위한 해석 공식을 유도하였다. 이를 이용하여 판요소와 쉘요소를 이용한 유한요소법에 의한 모델을 개발하여 수치해석 결과를 도출하였다. 해석 공식과 수치해석 모델을 이용한 해석 결과를 비교 분석하였고 매우 비슷한 결과가 도출 되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 슬래브의 상부와 하부에 온도 차이가 있을 때와 슬래브의 온도가 전체적으로 감소할 때, 콘크리트 슬래브의 응력 분포에 슬래브 하부의 수평저항이 미치는 민감성을 여러 가지의 다른 슬래브의 두께, 탄성계수, 그리고 지반의 수직탄성계수 등을 고려하여 분석하였다. 해석 결과에서 온도하중을 받을 때 슬래브 하부의 수평저항은 슬래브의 응력에 매우 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 것을 발견하였다.

기존 거더 형식의 교량이나 슬래브 교량에서는 신축이음장치, 받침, 역T형 교대 및 별도의 접속슬래브 구조를 이루는 시스템으로 이루어져 있다. 이러한 시스템은 신축이음부의 빈번한 파손으로 인한 비용증가, 모멘트 재분배가 낮은 구조로 인한 내구성 감소 등의 문제가 있다. 상기의 문제를 개선하기 위해 일체식 및 반일체식 복합 교량을 제안하고 구조해석을 통해 안전성을 검토하였다. 검토결과 단면강성은 작 지만 접속슬래브와 본체 구조가 연속 강결된 다연속‧ 프레임 구조계 형성과 상부구조의 경간과 단면강성의 균형으로 인하여 모멘트재분배와 힘전달이 확실하게 이루어져 기존교량에 비해 구조안전성 높은 구조임을 확인하였다.
