A Study on the Structural Performance of Post Tensioned Concrete Beam and Slab Subjected to High Temperature

This research was planned to evaluate the structural performance of post tensioned(PT) concrete member subjected to fire. Prime objective was to suggest some techniques to evaluate the performance of post tensioned concrete beam and slab exposed to high temperature through experiment. To accomplish this objective, the following two scopes have been proceeded to verify the strength reducing ratio of strands and find out the difference of resisting force at the PT concrete members exposed to high temperature through the fire test. The properties of prestressing steel(tendon) in PT concrete beam and slab under variable temperatures were reviewed. The test of this study was shown that stress relaxation occurred at high temperature, and some restoration of tensional force appeared as it got cooling down. The residual tension of the post tensioned beams at 4 hours after reaching the target temperature were 70% at $400^{\circ}C$, 10% at $600^{\circ}C$ and 2% at $800^{\circ}C$. The post tensioned slabs were 94% at $400^{\circ}C$, 84.5% at $600^{\circ}C$ and 62% at $800^{\circ}C$. The reason why the residual tension loss of the post tensioned slab was relatively small was considered to be that the slab was exposed just one side to high temperature and the strength of the strand was restored larger than that of beam. Also, it was confirmed that the post tensioned member inevitably experienced the loss of strength by fire damage, and restoration design of the member should be required to compensate for the value as much as lost strength.

고온을 받은 포스트텐션 콘크리트 보와 슬래브의 구조성능 연구

이 연구는 포스트텐션 콘크리트 부재의 화재에 대한 구조성능 평가기술을 개발하기 위하여, 고온에 노출된 포스트텐션 보와 슬래브 부재의 구조특성과 평가기법을 내화 실험을 통하여 연구하였다. 내화 실험 시 가열은 전기로를 사용하였으며 수열온도를 $400^{\circ}C$, $600^{\circ}C$, $800^{\circ}C$로 하였다. 이 연구로부터 고온을 받는 강연선은 응력 이완이 발생되고, 냉각되면서 긴장력의 일부 복원이 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 포스트텐션 보와 슬래브 실험체가 각각 목표온도 도달 후 4시간 경과 시 포스트텐션 부재의 강연선의 잔존 긴장력을 살펴보면, 포스트텐션 보는 $400^{\circ}C$에서는 70%, $600^{\circ}C$에서는 10%, $800^{\circ}C$에서는 2%정도로 볼 수 있으며, 포스트텐션 슬래브는 $400^{\circ}C$에서는 94%, $600^{\circ}C$에서는 84.5%, $800^{\circ}C$에서는 62%정도로 나타났다. 상대적으로 포스트텐션 슬래브의 잔존 긴장력 손실이 작았던 이유는 슬래브가 고온에 일면 노출되었고, 강연선의 강도복원이 일어났기 때문으로 여겨졌다. 이 연구로부터 화재가 발생하는 경우 포스트텐션 부재는 강도 및 긴장력의 손실이 발생하고, 보강 시 손실된 내력만큼의 복원설계가 필요함을 확인하였다.
