Evaluation of the Serviceability of the Transverse Joint of a Modular Bridge under a Cyclic Load

Article Preview

Abstract:

Modular bridges have structurally weak joints that require a structural safety review. In this study, a static bending test was conducted on a specimen that was prestressed after grouting of its joints with shear keys. The results were compared with those of integral specimens to analyze the structural behavior characteristics of the specimen with grouted joints. Through cyclic loading tests (200,000 and 2,000,000 times), the long-term serviceability was examined in terms of deflections and cracks.
