Abstract

The bridge approach slabs (BAS) to provide a transitional roadway between a roadway pavement and a bridge structure have not performed adequately due to various factors. The current Korean Roadway Design Guidelines treat the BAS as a simply supported beam with 70% of the span length and do not consider settlement and void development underneath the slab. To investigate the effect of soil settlements on the bending moment of BAS, a beam on elastic support (BAS-ES) was used in the present study. The parameters used in this study were span length, washout length, washout location, and soil modulus. It was shown from the parametric study that washout regions closer to the midspan exhibit maximum moment in the slab. Since voids under the BAS have typically been observed to be closer to bridge abutments, the springs from the abutment were removed to simulate settlement and void development in the model. The design moments based on AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications were compared to those of Korean Standard Specifications for Highway Bridge and Design Trucks for Highway Bridges. Even if the design moment from BAS-ES was used to incorporate the effect of the potential washout, significant savings could still be achieved compared to the current BAS design.

교량과 도로 포장사이의 주행성 향상을 제공하는 교량 접속판(BAS)은 여러 가지 요인으로 제 기능을 발휘하지 못하고 있다. 현행 도로설계요령은 접속판 길이의 70%를 지간으로 한 단순보로 계산하고 있으며 슬래브 아래의 침하와 공극을 고려하지 못한다. BAS의 휨모멘트에 대한 지반침하 영향을 조사하기 위해 탄성지반 보(BAS-ES)를 본 연구에서 사용했다. 사용된 매개변수는 경간장, 유실길이, 유실위치, 지반 반력계수이다. 중앙지간에 가까운 유실이 접속판에 최대모멘트가 발생하는 것을 매개변수 연구를 통해 알 수 있었다. BAS 아래의 공극은 일반적으로 교대 주위에서 발생되므로 사용모델은 침하와 공극을 형상화하기 위해 교대로부터 스프링을 제거하여 유실위치를 고려했다. 탄성지지 보 모델을 사용해 AASHTO LRFD 교량설계기준에 근거한 설계모멘트와 국내 도로교설계기준의 설계모멘트를 비교하였다. 유실을 고려한 탄성지반 접속판의 설계모멘트가 현행 접속판 설계와 비교해 여전히 작게 나타나 비용절감 효과를 꾀할 수 있다.
