Abstract

A large number of FRP decks are already in service worldwide because the lighter FRP-based bridge decks are ideal for rapid construction to reduce the dead load of superstructures. And the proper design process is demanded for the effective FRP deck application. In this paper, to get the basic prototype of FRP bridge decks, the ratio of individual parameters, which compose the specification of FRP bridge decks, are determined by a finite element analysis. In addition, optimum FRP deck shapes are determined considering complex constraints and material properties of bi-directional characteristics. Upon these results, the prototype of FRP bridge decks is validated.

FRP바닥판은 경량이기 때문에 신속한 시공이 가능하고, 고정하중을 경감시킬 수 있다는 장점이 있어 전 세계적으로 시공 실적이 점차 증가하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 효과적인 FRP바닥판의 적용을 위하여 유한요소해석을 통하여 FRP바닥판을 구성하는 부재별 적정 형상비를 결정하였으며, 향후 FRP바닥판 설계시 기초자료로 활용할 수 있도록 하고자 하였다. 또한, FRP의 이방적 재료 특성과 복잡한 제약조건을 고려한 FRP바닥판의 최적설계를 수행하였으며, 그 결과를 토대로 제안된 FRP바닥판의 기본 단면 형상에 대한 검증을 수행하였다.
