Abstract
In this paper, stress analysis anda 3-point bending fatigue test were conducted on the full-scale specimen to investigate the effects of misalignment at the U-rib welded joint due to misfitting in the steel deck bridge. In addition, the researchers investigated the direction and starting point of fatigue cracks by SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) and beach mark. The results of the stress analysis show that maximum stress occurred at the bottom corner of the U-rib, and that the stress was large when the magnitude of the misalignment was large. On the other hand, the results of the static loading test of the full-scale specimen show that stress was large at the bottom corner of the U-rib. In addition, fatigue life was short when the misalignment was large and fatigue life was short when the misalignment was large and fatigue life was short when the misalignment was large and fatigue life was large when the misalignment was small, as indicated by the results of both the static loading test and the fatigue test. From the observation of the failure surface, fatigue cracks began manifesting at the root of the base metal and proceeded to the bead surface (weld toe).
본 연구에서는 강교량의 강상판에서 많이 사용되는 U리브 현장이음부에 대해 시공오차로 인한 단차의 영향을 조사하기 위해 실물 대모형에 대해 응력해석을 실시하였다. 또한 실물대모형 시험체를 제작하여 3점 휨 피로실험을 실시하였으며, 주사형전자현미경(SEM) 및 비치마크를 이용하여 피로균열 발생점 및 피로균열전파방향을 조사하였다. 실물대모형 모델에 대한 응력해석 결과, U리브의 하면 우각부에 응력이 크게 나타났으며, 단차가 커질수록 응력이 현저히 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 실물대모형 시험체에 대한 정하중 및 피로실험에서도 U리브 하면의 우각부에 응력이 크게 나타났으며, 단차가 크면 피로수명은 단축되고 단차가 적으면 피로수명은 길어졌다. 또한 파단면 조사결과, 피로균열은 모재측 루트부에서 발생하여 용접비드 표면측으로 전파되었다.
