Precast concrete (PC) panels are often used as retaining walls to support soil pressure. In such a case, the panels should be connected at the location where PC panels meet with a buttress. However, it is not easy to provide enough development length for the reinforcing steels due to the limited width of the buttress. If it happens, the width of buttress should be increased as large enough although it is not desirable. The critical section required for providing the development length is always located where the flexural moment is maximum. Thus it is the place the buttress width ends. Also it is the place that the reinforcing steels stressed to maximum. However, it is possible to make differentiate between the maximum moment location and the most stressed location of reinforcing steels. It means that the most stressed location of reinforcing steels, the critical section, can be moved to the other place where the moment is not maximum. New critical location will have less moment than that of buttress width ends. In consequence, the development length would be longer than that of the typical way of construction. Debonding or cutting technique make it possible to reduce the moment strength of a section. Therefore reinforcing steels are debonded or cut to have a desired flexural strength at a desired place. In this study, five test specimens in full scale were erected to examine the effects of critical section movement in PC panel joints. Test parameters were the length variations of debonded and cut reinforcing steels. The test results showed that the debonding or cutting technique could be used to lengthen the development length in the joint of PC panels.

이 논문은 철근 가공 산업 현장에서 스프레드쉬트에 의해 수작업으로 행하던 절단 작업의 계획 수립을 자동화된 시스템에 의해 최적의 절단 계획을 생성하도록 하는 소프트웨어의 개발을 다룬다. 이를 위하여, 먼저 시스템의 데이터 표현과 최적 문제 풀이를 위한 자동 계획 알고리듬의 설계가 요구된다. 이것은 다중 규격의 1차원 자재 절단 문제를 푸는 것으로, 동적계획법에 근거하여 자재 절단 문제를 재구성하고, 유한 범위의 조합 열에서도 근사 최적의 해를 찾을 수 있는 탐색 기법을 사용한 자재 절단 계획 알고리듬을 사용하였다. 그리고, 자동화된 철근 가공 산업용 소프트웨어는 작업 환경에 맞게 사용이 편리한 그래픽 화면과 사용자 인터페이스가 요구되는데, 공개 소프트웨어를 활용한 GUI 라이브러리 툴킷인 GTK+를 활용하여 이를 구현하였다.

In this paper, we deal an implementation of the software that produces sub-optimal solution of cutting-ironbar planning problem using dynamic programming. Generally, it is required to design an optimization algorithm to accept the practical requirements of cutting ironbar manufacturing. But, this problem is a multiple-sized 1-dimensional cutting stock problem and Linear Programming approaches to get the optimal solution is difficult to be applied due to the problem of explosive computation and memory limitation. In order to overcome this problem, we reform the problem for applying Dynamic Programming and propose a cutting-ironbar planning algorithm searching the sub-optimal solution in the space of fixed amount of combinated columns by using heuristics. Then, we design a graphic user interfaces and screen displays to be operated conveniently in the industry workplace and implement the software using open-source GUI library toolkit, GTK+.
