*Steel bridge on roadway bridge (intersection of bulb ribs and transverse ribs ) [#w63697ab] *国道上の鋼橋(バルブリブと横リブ交差部)[#w63697ab] **1.Field of application [#b13e2644] >Steel bridge of Route 43, Japan.&br; >国道43号の鋼橋 **2.Circumstances of repair [#f8e4b855] >Fatigue cracks at intersection of bulb ribs and transverse ribs were found. >バルブリブと横リブの交差部に疲労き裂が見つかった。 **3.Types of structure [#v1d9856b] >The outline of the bridge structure is as follows.&br; -Bridge length : 211.0m -Span length : 60.0m+91.0m+60.0m -Structure : Box girder bridge with orthotropic deck system >構造諸元は次のとおりである。 -橋長 : 211.0m -支間長: 60.0+91.0+60.0m -形式 : 鋼床版箱桁橋 **4.Details of loading [#c1d84c1c] >Fluctuating loads due to vehicles live load. >活荷重 **5.Description of damage [#y9019615] >Fatigue cracks were detected on boxing weld joints between bottom of bulb ribs and web plates of transverse ribs .Cracks initiated from the toe of the boxing weld joints and propagated at the web plates of the transverse ribs ([[Fig.1>#fig1]]). &br; >バルブリブと横リブ間の溶接部下端(回し溶接)で疲労き裂が見つかった。き裂は回し溶接の止端部を起点とし、横リブのウェブへ進展した([[図.1>#fig1]])。 CENTER:&aname(fig1);&attachref(./bulb_crack.jpg,100%);&br; &br; CENTER:Fig.1 Crack location &br; &br; CENTER:図.1 疲労き裂の位置 &br; &br; >Cause of fatigue cracks was as follows:&br; -Localized stress concentration which resulted from the restraint of the deck plate deflection due to the wheel load. >疲労き裂の原因は以下のとおり:&br; -輪荷重載荷によるデッキプレートのたわみを拘束することによって生じる応力集中 //狭隘なスリット部でのまわし溶接の品質確保が難しい部位であるうえ、応力集中が高い部位であることから、まわし溶接止端部を起点として疲労き裂が発生している。 **6.Repair method applied [#t2b50e0b] >Retrofitting procedures for the cracks were positive attachments by using bolted angle connections between the bulb ribs and the web plates of the transverse ribs([[Fig.2>#fig2]]). &br; &br; >バルブリブと横リブウェブ間にアングル材を設置してボルト固定し補強した([[図.2>#fig2]])。 CENTER:&aname(fig2);&attachref(./angle_connection.jpg,75%);&br; &br; CENTER:Fig.2 Bolted angle connections between the bulb ribs and the web plates of transverse ribs. &br; &br; CENTER:図.2 バルブリブと横リブウェブ間にボルト固定された補強用アングル材 &br; &br; //**Reference [#gbd671ea] //鋼床版バルブリブと横リブ交差部の補強効果の確認、土木学会第64回年次学術講演会(平成21年9月) &br; &br;
