Abstract

In this study, the distortional behaviors of tub-section steel girders subjected to torsional loading were analyzed, and predictor equations were developed for estimating the member forces induced in the internal bracing system installed in the steel tub girders. Torsional loadings originated either by eccentric vertical loading or girder curvature were decomposed into the pure torsional force component that does not affect the distortional box deformation, and into the distortional force component that directly induces box distortion. The axial member forces induced in the internal cross frames were formulated as a function of the magnitude of torsional loading through the analytical investigation of the interactions between the distortional force component and internal cross frames. To verify the proposed equations, three-dimensional finite element analysis (3D FEA) was conducted for the straight simple-span girder and the three-span continuous girder samples. Very good agreement was found between the member forces from the FEA and the proposed equations.

본 연구에서는 비틀림 하중을 받는 U형 강박스 거더의 뒤틀림 거동을 해석적으로 분석하여 거더 내부에 설치되는 수직브레이싱의 각 부재에 발생하는 부재력을 산정하는 수식이 개발되었다. 편심하중 또는 거더의 곡률에 의해 발생하는 비틀림하중을 박스단면내 상대적인 변형과는 무관한 순수 비틀림 성분력과 박스 단면내 뒤틀림을 유발하는 뒤틀림 성분력으로 분해하여 뒤틀림 성분력과 이에 저항하는 내부 수직브레이싱의 상호작용 효과를 분석함으로써 각 부재에 발생하는 부재력을 비틀림하중의 함수로 도출하였다. 제안식의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 편심하중을 받는 단경간 직선거더 및 전경간 일정한 곡률을 가지는 3경간 거더 예제를 선정하여 3차원 유한요소 모델링을 수행하고 해석을 통해 얻은 내부 수직브레이싱의 각 부재력을 제안식으로 산정된 값과 비교 분석하였다. 해석 및 제안식으로 결정된 각각의 부재력은 높은 수준으로 일치함을 보였다.
