Department, of Civil Engineering, Hyundai Institute of ‘Seoul National University Construction Technology ABSTRACT ‘This paper presents a construction error control system to improve the construction accuracy of composite cable stayed bridges constructed by the free cantilever method. In free cantilever method structural system Changes according to the progress in construction, Then ertors may be accumulated and amplified through Complicated construction steps. Even if the section dimensions are controlled within the specification allowance limit, cable force and girder deflection will have errors far exceeding the allowance limits. Although the design is accurate and comect construction is done, a certain amount of errors in cable tension and geometry js inevitable, Thus, the feedback process of measurement and adjustment is required for more accurate construction. The error control system consists of the processes of measurement, construction stage analysis, error factor estimation, prediction and optimum adjustment. In the analysis system composite action of Concrete slab and steel girder evaluated by the proposed stiffness matrix. Output results are accumulated for cach load increment, Also, various construction commands are defined to simulate complicated construction Procedure. The optimum adjustment system can reduce overall errors evenly to avoid undesirable distortion and overstress, The ero factor estimation and prediction system can calculate the quantitative value of error factors and show behavior of structutes at later steps. Adjustments can be possible based on final step information. The proposed system can provide tools for adjustment and cable adjustment base applications, -51- 1.0 INTRODUCTION ‘The concept of using cables as main part of bridge system is not new. However such trials had ret with litle success for a long time due to the fact that the system was not fully understood and suitable materials were not used. Today, advanced manufacturing technology have given rise to the introduction of high strength steel, development of sophisticated welding techniques and so forth ‘And rapidly developed computer systems provide designers tools to get theoretical understanding of such complicated system. During the last few decades, the system found wide application and significant advances have been made with respect to the analysis of cable stayed bridges. Construction methods have been developed with advance of technology. Nowadays, various construction methods are used to build cable stayed bridges, Because of some advantages, free cantilever method is generally used for long. span rmulti-cable type cable-stayed bridges. ‘The main advantage of cantilever method is the elimination of false work, This clears the below the bridges ‘and overcomes unfavorable field conditions. On the contrary cantilever method forms. different structural system during and after construction. In cantilever method, the structural system changes occasionally according to the progress in constriction. ‘The errors are accumulated and amplified through complicated construction steps. Also, the cantilevers have structural characteristic of a comparatively large deflection. Because of rmulti-cable and slender girder which are generally used in cantilever method, the structure are easily deflected by cable fore Although the design is accurate and correct ‘construction is done, a certain amount of deviation of deflection and cable tension is inevitable. Since the load intensity, modulus of elasticity and erection themselves have errors to some extent Even if section dimensions are controlled within the specification allowance limit, cable force and ‘girder deflection are to have errors far exceeding, the allowance limits. Without any adjustments, undesirable deflection may occur. Therefore, the cantilever constructed bridge must be controlled carefully with a series of processes such as measurement and adjustment feedback. The objective of the present study is to develop construction error control system for cantilever constructed composite cable stayed bridges, The proposed control system consists of a construction stage analysis system, error factor estimation, prediction and optimum adjustment system, Tn construction stage analysis, the composite action of two other member, steel girder and concrete slab, can be calculated using composite frame element, Also, stress history due to different ‘construction procedure is considered. To simulate the complicated construction process, various construction commands are defined. Those include change of support condition, erection of new clement, casting concrete slab, installing and removing cable, change of cable force, adjustment cable length, operation of tendon, control of crane loads and so on, Sage rai By [Femara] ‘ajust Sytem fesse orien | Fig, 1 Flow chart of the control system — 52 - Adjustment only for mimimizing cable force errors or deflection errors may produce undesirable overstress and distortion. The optimum adjustment system calculates the adjustments Which can reduce evenly the overall errors in cable tension and girder deflection. By use of weight coefficients, users can control the error residuals intentionally which remain after adjustment. There are so many error factors which cause errors to the cable force and deflection during construction steps. The error factor estimation system calculates quantitative estimation of error factors from the resultant errors of tension and deflection, By use of the estimated error factors, the analysis system can predict the behavior of structure in later stages. Thus, adjustments for later steps can be possible 2.0 ANALYSIS SYSTEM 2. FRAME ELEMENT Stiffness matrices of concrete slab and steel girder are transformed for the deformation with respect to neutral axis of composite member.
