U형 세그멘탈 콘크리트 교량 모델의 차량충돌 수치해석

초록

This paper studied on stability of the U-channel segmental concrete bridge under vehicle-impact loads. The U-channel bridge has a dangerous factor which collapses the bridge structure when the edge beams are ruptured. Therefore, it is necessary to verify behaviors of the bridge system under vehicle-impact loads. Static and dynamic vehicle impact simulations were carried out on the basis of AASHTO LRFD design specifications. In case of the static analysis, equivalent static loads specified in the AASHTO codes are loaded on the edge beams and in case of the dynamic analysis, FEM vehicle models are modeled by applying the dynamic test specifications of AASHTO codes. As a result, it is shown that U-channel bridge system has sufficient safety against static and dynamic impact loads specified in the AASHTO LRFD design specifications.
