An efficient method for the construction of bridge piers

Shahid Nasir; Supratic Gupta; Hidetaka Umehara; Ikuo Hirasawa

Abstract In this paper, a new method for the construction of bridge piers using precast prestressed concrete (PPC) panels as formwork is proposed in order to increase the efficiency of construction. Scaled down experiments were performed to check the feasibility of the proposed method. Experiments were carried out on six different reinforced concrete column specimens. These experiments were performed to check whether the PPC panels acted as an integral part of the structure due to good bonding between panels and core concrete. Load–displacement behavior, crack pattern and other experimental data were analyzed and the experimental results compared with numerical simulations to check the effectiveness of the construction method. It was interesting to observe that the use of panels did not create any weakness in the structural behavior of the specimen and can be used effectively for the construction of bridge piers.

Properties of Low-Shrinkage, High-Strength SCC Using Shrinkage-Reducing Admixture, Blast Furnace Slag and Limestone Aggregates

K. Saito; M. Kinoshita; Hidetaka Umehara; R. Yoshida

It is indicated that the risk of early age shrinkage cracking on highstrength self-compacting concrete (SCC) increases due to autogenous shrinkage caused by low water-to-cement ratio (w/c) and high cement content. For the purpose of reducing the shrinkage strain of high-strength SCC, three kinds of shrinkage-reducing concrete materials, shrinkage-reducing admixture (SRA), blast furnace slag aggregate (BFS) and limestone aggregates were examined. It was found that these materials each showed excellent shrinkage-reducing effect better than each ordinary material when they were used separately. In addition, the authors have found that the shrinkage-reducing mechanisms were individually different and the shrinkage-reducing effect was approximately 45% to 61% when used all together.

RESEARCH ON THE PRACTICAL USE OF SD490 REBARS FOR THE AXIAL REINFORCEMENTS OF RC BRIDGE PIERS

Hiroshi Asai; Akio Kasuga; Jiro Iida; Hidetaka Umehara

都市内高速道路において限られた敷地内に橋脚を建設する場合, 高強度鉄筋を使用して断面を縮小することが求められる. 名古屋高速道路の一路線の橋脚を試算した結果, 材質SD490の鉄筋と設計基準強度40N/mm2とを組み合わせて断面を縮小できるが, 従来の鉄筋に比べて破断伸びが小さく, 軸方向鉄筋の早期破断が懸念された. そこで, 材質SD490の鉄筋を軸方向鉄筋に用いた橋脚模型試験体の正負交番載荷実験を実施し, 現行の保有水平耐力法が適用できることを示した. また, 鉄筋単体に座屈を与えた低サイクル疲労試験を実施し, 材質SD490と材質SD345の鉄筋が同等の疲労寿命を有すことを示した. さらに, 正負交番載荷試験における軸方向鉄筋の破断をマイナー則を用いて算出できることを示した.

STUDY ON CREEP BEHAVIOR IN THE UNLOADING PROCESS FOR EARLY AGED CONCRETE

Keishiro Iriya; Tatsuya Hattori; Takafumi Negi; Hidetaka Umehara

若材齢コンクリートのクリープ挙動に関する研究のうち, 除荷後のクリープ挙動のモデル化について研究した. モデル化の方法として, (1) 除荷後の回復ひずみ関数を構築する方法 (2) クリープ関数を基に重ね合わせ法を適用する方法などがあるが, この両者について実験値と比較して, その適応性を検討した. クリープ試験より, 除荷後の回復ひずみは, 除荷時の応力強度比に依存していることが明らかになったので, 除荷時の応力強度比に着目した回復ひずみ関数を構築した. その関数を段階的に応力が減少する条件下のクリープ試験結果と比較した結果, 良く一致することを確認した. 一方, 重ね合わせ法に関しては, 圧縮応力載荷後の除荷過程を引張応力の増加と考えると実験値とよく一致するが, 圧縮クリープ関数を用いた場合でも適用は可能である.

FUNDAMENTAL STUDIES OF INJECTING PROPERTIES FOR INORGANIC REPAIRING MATERIALS

Takeo Iisaka; Takanori Sumi; Hidetaka Umehara

コンクリート構造物には種々の原因によりひび割れが発生する. ひび割れの補修には, 有機系材料のエポキシ樹脂が数多く用いられている. 無機系材料は粒径が大きいために注入性が劣り, 注入用としてあまり利用されていなかった. しかし, 近年, この材料は粒径を微細にすることによってひび割れに注入する補修材料として利用され始めている.本研究では, 無機系補修材料の特性を明らかにするとともに, 模擬ひび割れを利用して材料の注入性から注入状態を推定したものである.

A STUDY ON THE EFFECT OF CONTROL METHOD OF THERMAL CRACKING IN MASS CONCRETE SLAB

Hidetaka Umehara; Hirotomo Yoshida

There are many methods ranging over design and construction to control thermal cracking in mass concrete structures. However, it is necessary to evaluate the effect of each method quantitively in order to control thermal cracking effectively.In this study the equations to express the effect of the methods, for example, concreting temperature, curing method, and lift separation, to control thermal cracking in mass concrete slab are obtained in the result of thermal stress analysis. The most effective method according to the size of the structure and the external restraining level can be selected easily using these equations.
