Abstract

In this study nonlinear FEM analysis for steel pylon base of a cable supported bridge is performed in order to compare the results of Akashi-Kaikyo bridge's design specification established in 1970. Due to convenience of its application, the Akashi grand bridge's design specification has been applied to the base design of cable stayed bridges. It has been using linear spring in order to model prestressed high tensioned bars between steel pylon bottom plates and the base concrete. However, the results of nonlinear FEM analysis revealed that the Akashi-Kaikyo bridge's design specification has various problems in the analysis of the steel pylon base. And the steel pylon base has various complex members connecting with each other, and it is main member to resist against the wind load or the earthquake load. Therefore, the nonlinear FEM analysis has to be conducted in order to predict the behavior of steel pylon base exactly. Also, the nonlinear FEM analysis is more reasonable for the load and resistant factor design.

본 연구에서는 강주탑 기부와 기초콘크리트 연결 구조에 대해서 국내에서 특수교량의 강주탑 기부 설계에 보편적으로 적용하고 있는 명석해협대교(明石海峽大橋) 시방기준과 비선형 FEM 해석결과를 비교하였다. 명석해협대교(明石海峽大橋) 시방기준은 1970년도에 만들어진 일본 기준으로 주탑 기부와 PS 강봉 및 기초콘크리트를 스프링으로 선형 모델링하여 설계하는 방법으로서 43년이 지난 지금까지도 간편성을 이유로 이 기준을 적용하고 있다. 그러나 비선형 FEM 해석결과의 비교를 통해 특수 장대교의 강주탑 기부의 해석 및 설계에 이 기준을 적용하는 것은 여러 가지 문제점이 있음을 알 수 있었으며, 풍하중, 지진하중에 주요하게 저항하면서도 다양한 부재들로 복잡하게 연결된 강주탑 기부에 대해서는 한계상태설계법으로 발전하려는 현 시대에 맞추어 실제 거동을 반영하는 비선형 FEM해석을 적용해야 할 것이다.
