    ( patent 10-1999-007572, patent 10-1999-045825, patent 10-1999-04582)

 1. Introduction

 1. brief

 beam bridge of P.S.C & Preflex connecting existing simple method is acted constructal moment redistribution. At this time , because it occur negative moment in continuous span , concrete of slab is cracked and problem of a drop bridge' persistence is occured.
 [this method of construction is improvement of ability method  introducing the compressive force using Up-Down Method  at concrete of slab negative moment.
this method improve by DB-24 then existing P.S.C and the Preflex.

2. construction method

 1) this method of construction  part removing slab

  after removing slab at negative moment of P.S.C and the Preflex., it arrange reinforce and make concrete except the section inside support 0.1L. this time, cross beam lower neutrality axis make concrete. then the remander section is made concrete, cure the concrete surface, after down, finish.

 2) this method of construction  entirety removing slab
  
   after removing  the entirety slab., it make concrete at the section positive moment. then cure the concrete surface, up support, it make concrete at the section negative moment, it is finished making bridge by down support.

 1. simple bridge

 when it need to change slab of existing bridge, equal upper step. only addition  breaking concrete. if existing bridge slab do not change, the step is the next.
 

 

  removing concrete of center girder( preserving existing reinforced rod)

  the method connecting at the section inside support

      it is point that bending tension moment at upper girder and bending       compression moment at upper girder for continuing P.S.C and the Preflex       Beam.

   1. method A (P.S.C Beam)

   For bending tension stress at continuing support using chemical anchor at PSC    Beam's upper, it  correspond effectively, and connecting with girder is planed    for compressive stress at lower girder.

1. outline

  Presently existing bridge have many problem. so it require repair & reinforcement
  existing method of repair & reinforcement have variety problem.
  this method of construction overcome the problem of other existing method of   repair & reinforcement : it is made improvement of unreliable injecting by loading   pre-load at structure occurring bending crack and pure into injection. then it is   made improvement of repair & reinforcement by getting rid of pre-load. the   reason is that bending crack concrete occur compressive stress. so this   method of repair & reinforcement is fitting and trusting.

  comparing a method of construction

   we apply this method to simple PSC composition beam of reinforcing as    External Prestressing method. then  we compare stress condition

   * the subject bridge : moonle overpass
   * the time of completed : 1979
   * type of upper structure :single span PSC composit beam
   * external state : deterioration of slab and girder, crack occur at PSC beam,       bending crack  length 20~80cm, wide 0.1~0.3m. result of crack's deep, crack       exceed reinforce rod's cover.
      so need structural reinforcement.
   *  profile factor's rate : 15%

    This method is repair method : after clearing rot, lowering stiffness is repair.

  * rotting of inner support in Box wall
    water store at inner support because  of camber. so it occur rotting of inner     support in Box wall

  1. outline

  Presently existing continuity bridge was constructed without preparing negative   moment at inner support. so slab concrete was cracked and stiffness and   durability was decline. finally, this crack is made dark action as structure and   dark effect as using & durability.
  improvement of continuity bridge's ability method using weight is a method   introducing compressive stress at negative moment inner support. so crack is   prevented and this method have an advantage at deflection & shock.

     step 1 removing slab at section negative moment
          

      step 2 loading after repairing across beam

  load is decided by tension reinforced rod quantity and moment . this moment is   that across beam's ability resistant.

      step 3 removing after concreting slab at section negative moment

  through step 1~step 3 , induce compressive stress at section negative   moment's slab. so it is  
  resisted negative moment acting live load. this method is applied at plate   continuous bridge and steel box continuous bridge's repair method and over 3   span.
