*Steel bridge on roadway bridge (at coped end) [#u38ec4a0] **1.Field of application [#v2c8b50f] >鋼橋、首都高速道路,東京, Japan.&br; **2.損傷状況 [#gd0b4d9a] >桁端切り欠き部に疲労亀裂が見つかった。 in 1978 after 14 years of service.&br; CENTER:&aname(fig1);&attachref(ScreenHunter_04 Jul. 04 10.37.jpg);&br; CENTER:Fig.1 Elevation and cross section &br; CENTER:&aname(fig1);&attachref(./ScreenHunter_04 Jul. 04 10.37.jpg,50%);&br; CENTER:Fig.1 最近の損傷報告写真 &br; **3.Types of structure [#t777b1cc] >The outline of the bridge structure is as follows.&br; -Span length : 31.0 m -Structure : Simple composite plate girder bridge. -Deck : Reinforced concrete deck ( 18.0 cm thickness ) -Structural steel : SS 41 >Elevation and cross section are shown in [[figure 1>#fig1]]. The number of the main girders which are spaced at 2.4 to 3.2 m and are seven. The main girders are deep at 1.8m and are coped at the ends. &br; &br; CENTER:&aname(fig1);&attachref(Copede1.jpg);&br; CENTER:Fig.1 Elevation and cross section &br; &br; &br; **4.Details of loading [#r9adbfba] >Fluctuating loads due to highway live load. **5.Description of damage [#t9ef3387] >Fatigue cracks were found in the coped end of the main girder and the swells of the girder webs also occurred in the girder ends due to buckling ([[Fig.2>#fig2]]).&br; >Cause of fatigue cracks was as follows:&br; -Concentration of stress unforeseen in design. -Functional disorder of the movable support. &br; &br; CENTER:&aname(fig2);&attachref(Copede2.jpg);&br; CENTER:Fig.2 Crack location and swell range of the girder web.&br; &br; &br; **6.Repair method applied [#wd8df069] > Repair of parts subjected to cracking had been performed by stop hole and bolt connection as shown in [[figure 3>#fig3]]. After completion of repair, inspection indicated that fatigue crack re-initiated from the stop hole. Therefore, additional repair and strengthening were required. &br; &br; > New plates with the rib plates were bolt connected to both sides of the girder webs ([[Fig.4>#fig4]]). This repair made the swell of the girder web reform. These new plates of 9mm thickness played the role of transmitting the load. &br; &br; CENTER:&aname(fig3);&attachref(Copede3.gif);&br; CENTER:Fig.3 Primary repair.&br; &br; &br; CENTER:&aname(fig4);&attachref(Copede4.gif);&br; CENTER:Fig.4 Final repair&br; &br; &br;
