Abstract

Due to the increasing number of deteriorated bridges worldwide, the importance of maintenance and replacement of existing bridges are being emphasized. Cast-in-place concrete deck which is mainly applied to deck replacement of existing bridges have problems such as deterioration concerns by initial crack, labor cost increase, difficulties of maintenance and replacement, construction time increase, and indirect cost increase by traffic congestion. On the contrary, a precast concrete deck is considered as an effective alternative because of its quality assurance and accelerated construction. The connection method ensuring the required strength and durability is especially important, because the connection part of the precast concrete deck is vulnerable to cracks and leakage. Therefore, this study proposes precast bridge decks with ribbed connection which are more improved than existing bridge deck joints, and flexural performance is verified through various parameter tests.

전 세계적으로 노후교량이 급증함에 따라 교량 신설 뿐만 아니라 교체 및 유지관리의 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 기존 교량의 교체 및 신설에 주로 적용되고 있는 현장타설바닥판은 초기균열로 인한 품질저하 우려, 인건비 상승, 보수 및 교체의 어려움, 공기 증가 그리고 도심지 교통체증으로 인한 간접비용 증가 등 여러 문제점을 내포하고 있다. 반면에 공장에서 사전 제작후 현장에서 조립되는 프리캐스트 바닥판 공법은 공장제작으로 품질확보, 급속시공이 가능하므로 기존 현장타설 바닥판의 효과적인 대안으로 제시되고 있다. 이러한 프리캐스트 바닥판은 바닥판간 이음부가 균열 및 누수 등으로 가장 취약하므로 소요강도와 내구성을 확보할 수 있는 바닥판 간 이음부 연결기술이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 기존공법을 개선한 요철형 이음단면을 갖는 프리캐스트 교량 바닥판을 제안하고 이음형식별 요소실험을 통해 휨성능을 비교 및 검증하였다.
