Many uncertainties affecting to the structural behavior of prestressed concrete (PSC) bridges reinforced with the un bonded external tendons are analyzed on the basis of the analytical method introduced in the companion paper. Many design parameters, which must be considered in design procedure, such as friction slip at the deviators, number of deviators, time-dependent deformations of concrete, relaxation of tendon and influence of loading history in PSC bridges are reviewed, and a lot of valuable results are obtained through this parametric study. In advance, the structural responses according to the external tendon profiles are analyzed to grasp if an optimum tendon profile depends on the applied loading type, and the obtained results show that the most stable structural response is revealed when the locations of deviators are coincident with the loading points.

강관의 내부에 콘크리트를 충전한 콘크리트 충전 강관 구조(CFT 구조, Concrete Filled Steel Tubular Structure)는 강재와 콘크리트의 단점을 상호 보완하고, 장점을 극대화 할 수 있다는 이점 때문에 최근 실제 구조물의 시공에 적용하는 사례가 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 이와 같은 CFT 거더의 장점을 살리면서 CFT 거더보다 더 뛰어난 경제적, 구조적 효율성을 얻기 위해 기존의 CFT 구조에 아치 형식과 프리스트레스를 도입한 CFTA(Concrete Filled and Tied Tubular Arch) 거더에 관한 연구가 현재 진행중이다. 본 연구에서는 CFTA 거더의 현장 실험과의 비교를 위해 ABAQUS 6.5-1을 이용하여 CFTA 거더의 유한요소 해석을 수행하였고, 이를 바탕으로 구조물의 선형거동을 분석하였다. 또한 구조물의 위험도 분석을 위해 본 구조물의 가장 약점으로 지적되고 있는 외부로 노출되어 있는 긴장재의 차량 충돌에 의한 사고를 가정하여 이를 고려한 유한 요소 해석을 수행하여 CFTA 구조물의 동적 및 정적 안전성 평가를 수행하고 그 결과를 분석하였다.

Post-tensioned Precast concrete System(PPS) consists of U-shaped precast wide beams and concrete column. The continuity of beam-column joint is provided with floor concrete cast on the PC shell beam and post-tensioning. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the response of PPS interior beam-column joint subjected to cyclic lateral loading. To this end, an experimental investigation was performed with three half-scale specimens of interior connection. The design parameters are the amount of beam reinforcement placed inside the joint core. The test results showed that cracks were distributed well without my significant degradation of strength and ductility. Also, it was found that the prestressing may affect to alter the torsional crack angle. And the specimens sufficiently resist up to limiting drift ratio of 0.035 in accordance with the provisional by ACl of acceptance criteria for concrete special moment frames.

This paper is to investigate about a new technique (Bow system) which is to develop the disadvantages of the external post-tensioned method. The purpose of this paper is to analyze about the prestress loss when the loads apply along the long term and to improve the capacity of the members strengthened by Bow system. The variables in the test program are the span/depth ratio, the amount of tendon area. And the test was carried out to confirm the long term behaviour. It is shown that can apply the current code in the design, and have no the structural problems about the prestress loss.

There is a complex variation of stress in PSC anchorage zones and box girder diaphragms because of large concentrated load by prestress. According to the AASHTO LFRD design code, three-dimensional effects due to concentrated jacking loads shall be investigated using three-dimensional analysis procedures or may be approximated by considering separate submodels for two or more planes. In this case, the interaction of the submodels should be considered, and the model loads and results should be consistent. However, box girder diaphragms are 3-dimensional disturbed region which requires a fully three-dimensional model, and two-dimensional models are not satisfactory to model the flow of forces in diaphragms. In this study, the strengths of the prestressed box girder diaphragms are predicted using the 3-dimensional grid strut-tie model approach, which were tested to failure in University of Texas. According to the analysis results, the 3-dimensional strut-tie model approach can be possibly applied to the analysis and design of PSC box girder anchorage zones as a reasonable computer-aided approach with satisfied accuracy.
