Flexural Behavior of External Prestressed H-Beam

Recently, prestressed H-Beam bridges with external unbonded Tendons are increasingly built. The mechanical behavior of prestressed steel H-beams is different from that of normal bonded PSC beams in a point of the slip of tendons at deviators and the change of tendon eccentricity that occurs, when service load are applied in external unbonded steel H-beams. The concept of prestressing steel structures has been widely considered, in spite of long and successful history of prestressing concrete members. In the study, The flexural test on prestressed steel H-beams has been performed in the various aspects of prestressed H-beam including the tendon type and profile. The load was plotted against the deflection and the strain respectively in the steel beam and prestressing bars. The value expected with the equation of internal force equilibrium and compatibility between the deflection of the bars and the H-beam was found to correlate well with the measured data.

외부 긴장된 H형 보의 휨거동 특성

본 연구에서는 기존에 사용된 H-Beam 교량을 편향부와 외부 긴장력을 도입하여 보강효과에 의하여 지간을 증가시킬 수 있고 단면을 축소할 수 있다는 근거를 제시하였고, 유연도법을 이용하여 편향부의 효과에 의한 추가 긴장량을 산정하였다. 또한, 실험변수(긴장량, Tendon의 개수, 편향부의 유 무)에 의해서 표준실험체(기존 H-Beam)와 외부 긴장된 H-Beam 등 5개의 실험체를 제작하여 휨 실험을 실시하여 외부 긴장된 H-Beam의 역학적 거동을 연구하였다. 특히, 보강효과 및 편향부의 효과를 실험적으로 검증하였다.
