본 연구에서는 강합성라멘교의 벽체 배면 철근 커플러 적용 여부에 따른 두 실험체를 제작하여 하 중가력 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 공법에 적용된 주요 기술에 대한 구조적 안전성 및 적정성을 확인 하였으며, 실험체는 설계 내하력 대비 충분한 안전성을 확보하고 있음이 확인되었다. 또한, 경간장 17.3m, 교폭 3.0m, 높이 3.25m의 실험체에 대한 정적성능실험 및 동특성 측정 실험을 수행하였으며, 그 결과 설계 내하력 대비 충분한 안전성을 확보하고 있는 것으로 나타났다.
Recently, a new long span composite rahmen bridge has been developed to complement the short span concrete rahmen bridges. In this study, a static bending test was carried out for steel composite rahmen bridges developed for the purpose of decreasing negative moment at the end of steel girder and positive moment at the center of steel girder by introducing a horizontal prestress to the upper flange of the steel girder end. From this, the reinforcement effect of the introduction to the horizontal prestress was verified and the structural safety for the steel composite rahmen bridges was evaluated. As a result, the maximum tensile strain and the maximum compressive strain of the DL specimen at 800 kN were 16% and 12% smaller than those of the CR specimen, respectively. From this, the DL specimen decreased compressive strain due to the tensile strain of the upper flange caused by introducing the horizontal prestress at the end of the steel girder, and the tensile strain of the lower flange also decreased.
