This research was conducted to analyze the behavior of PTCP (Post-Tensioned prestressed Concrete Pavement) under tensioning by performing field tests when the experimental PTCP slab was being constructed. The displacements in the slab under the environmental loading and tensioning were measured using temperature measurement sensors and displacement transducers. Tensioning was performed three times and appropriateness of tensioning could be determined by investigating the relationship between temperature and displacement, behavior of transverse crack, and daily change in displacement. The results of this study showed that under the first tensioning at very early age, large displacements were observed only near the joints because of the friction between slab and underlying layer and concrete inelasticity. Under consecutive tensioning, displacements were clearly observed all over the slab, but still affected by the friction. In addition, appropriate tensioning ensured the one-slab behavior of the PTCP slab even though cracks existed.

콘크리트 슬래브 표면의 영상처리 목적은 구조물의 균열발생을 최소화하고 발생한 균열에 대해서 지속적인 기록 관리로 균열의 진행 상태를 분석하여 보수시기 및 보수공법 적용의 합리적 운영체계를 수립하고자 하는 것이다. 일반적으로 콘크리트에서의 균열은 육안으로 분간할 수 있을 정도로 큰 반면 프리스트레스트 콘크리트의 균열은 기기를 사용하여야 측정, 분별할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 균열의 명함도와 인접한 표면의 명함도 차이를 이용하여 균열과 잡음을 분리한다. 그리고 균열과 잡음 영역에서 형태학적인 정보를 이용하여 잡음 영역만을 제거한다. 잡음 영역이 제거된 균열 영역에서도 미세한 잡음이 존재하므로 균열 영역을 평활화를 한 후, 미세 잡음을 하나의 객체로 인식하여 제거하고 끊어진 영역의 균열을 미디언 필터를 이용하여 균열을 연결한다. 그리고 제안된 방법으로 추출된 균열을 원본 영상에 적용하여 최종적으로 균열만을 검출한다. 검출된 균열에서 균열의 특정부분을 선택하고 선택되어진 균열 영상을 대상으로 균열의 길이, 방향, 폭을 순차적으로 분석한다. 실제 균열 영상을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 균열이 비교적 정확히 검출되었고 균열 검사기가 한번에 측정할 때에 비해 비교적 빠르고 적은 노력으로 측정할 수 있는 것을 확인하였다.

Due to the improvement of living standards and avoidance of the 3D industry, it is difficult to find young and competent domestic workers at construction sites, and most foreign workers are contributing to the replacement, but the quality is still deteriorating due to lack of skilled workers and aging. Precast method is a method that make members in factory and assembles them on site, which can be expected to improve labor force and quality. This study is intended to provide basic data for the development of hang-type PC beams that can be applied to the determination of the field application of developed PC beams. The U-type connecting material is installed on both ends of the hang-up PC beam, and the role of the U-type connecting material is very important because it is a simple construction method through the U-type connecting material. In addition, the performance of the U-type connecting material will determine the performance of the hang-type PC beam as the final destruction occurs in the hang-type PC beam. The material properties of U-type connecting material were identified through structural experiments, and the end test corresponding to the partial experiment was conducted based on the material test results identified. Finally, the final design value of PC beams was proposed through structural experiments for application to the site.

Recently, it is getting into a good situation for the flat-plate slab system to be applied. The flat-plate slab without beam, however, is often too weak to control deflection properly compared to other typical slab-beam structures, for which the post-tension method is generally regarded as one of best solutions. The post-tension (PT) method can effectively control deflection without increase of slab thickness. Despite this good advantage, however, the application of PT method has been very limited due to cost increase, technical problems, and lack of experiences. Therefore, in order to reduce difficulties on applying full PT method under the current domestic circumstances and to enhance constructability of PT system, this research proposed the partial PT method with top jacking anchorage applied in a part of span as need. For the top jacking anchorage system, the efficiency of deflection control shall be considered in detail because it can vary widely depending on the location of anchorage that can be placed anywhere as need, and tensile stresses induced at back of the anchorage zone also shall be examined. Therefore, in this study, analysis were performed on the efficiency of deflection control depending on the location of anchorage and on tensile stresses or forces using finite element method and strut and tie model in the proposed top jacking anchorage system. The proposed jacking system were also applied to the floor slabs at a construction site to investigate its applicability and the analysis results of slab behavior were compared to the measured values obtained from the PT slab constructed by the partial PT method. The result of this study indicates that the partial PT method can be very efficiently applied with little cost increase to control deflection and tensile stresses in the region as a need basis where problem exists.

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures have been most widely used because of the economic efficiency. However, it is very weak to tensile stresses and difficult to control deflection due to the heavy self-weight of concrete. Although it is generally known that prestressed concrete structures can be the most effective to overcome the demerit of RC structures, its application is very seldom in domestic construction for the difficult onsite circumstances. The post-tension method, which is well fit for buildings that are mostly indeterminate structures and beneficial for monolithic construction, has been introduced to just a few building construction. The application of full PT method into entire spans makes construction engineers feel very difficult due to the lack of current condition in construction fields. Therefore, this study proposed the partially applied PT method as an alternative, which can improve the deflection control of RC structures and reduce the construction difficulty by applying the PT method in a part of span length as needed, and analyzed its characteristics of structural behavior. In this study, the top anchorage was applied to improve the applicability of partial PT method, and the analysis results of slab behavior were compared to the measured values obtained from the post-tensioned slab constructed by the partial PT method.
