The panels are used as a composite part of the completed deck. They replace the main bottom transverse deck reinforcement and also serve as a form surface for the cast-in-place concrete upper layer that contains the top of deck reinforcement. Research has also demonstrated that mechanical shear ties on the top of the panels are required. In a composite deck with precast panels, it is required to notice behavior of transverse joints between panels. In this paper, static tests of composite deck with shear ties and loop joints were conducted. From the results, the validity of loop joints for continuity of deck was observed. Also, a composite behavior was abserved between precast panel and slab concrete. Tested composite decks with shear ties have 140~164% ultimate strength than have no shear ties due to the increase of composite action. Therefore, the shear ties between the slabs were sufficient to enforce composite flexural behavior to failure.

The purpose of this study is to examine the reduction effect of shrinkage reducing agent for drying shrinkage induced cracking and suggest the method of controlling the cracking in concrete box culvert for power transmission. Based on drying shrinkage cracking mechanism, it is necessary to perform the numerical analysis, which involves shrinkage reducing effect of shrinkage reducing agent. From the numerical results, it is found that cracking behavior for longitudinal direction and transverse direction due to differential drying shrinkage of box culvert can occur and the experimental observation of concrete cracks support the numerical predictions. The shrinkage reducing agent reduced the concrete cracking by 40~50%, which shows the methodology of controlling of drying shrinkage cracks in box culverts in real construction site.

Drilled shafts are used increasingly as the foundations for many types of structures. However, very little knowledge of drilled shaft behavior under inclined load is available. In this study, a systematic experimental testing program was conducted to understand the undrained behavior of drilled shaft foundations under inclined loads. A semi-theoretical method of predicting the inclined capacity was developed through a parametric study of the variables such as shaft geometry and load inclination. Test parameters were chosen to be representative of those most frequently used in the electric utility industry. Short, rigid shafts with varying depth/diameter(D/B) ratios were addressed, and loading modes were investigated that includes exial uplift, inclined uplift, and inclined compression loads. Capacities were evaluated using the structural interaction formula and an equation developed from this experimental study. This new equation models the laboratory data well and is applicable for the limites field data.

The most effective factors that improve sections and elongate spans of the prestressed concrete girders are shapes of sections and strengths of concretes, and the concrete strength is more influenced to enhance the allowable tensile strength on top and bottom fibers than increasing of flexural strength of girders. In this study, 60 MPa high-strength prestressed concretes were constructed at the Wonsoo Bridge where in the 1st section of expanding constructions of the Nonsan to Junjoo Expressway, the high-strength concrete was placed on the eight- 35 meters simple span IPC girders of four lanes of Nonsan direction. During casting of girder concretes, quality controls were carried out with continuing controls of surface moistures and corrections of the unit water using the air-meter methods right after batching. It was confirmed that compressive strengths of girder concretes ensure the target strength and the heat of hydrations of girder concrete were measured. Though using same materials and constructing methods, there're a wide range of strengths of each girder, so, when high-strength concretes cast in the place hereafter, a countermove should be prepared.

The present paper represents experimental studies on the performance of concrete filled FRP columns. Eight scale-down specimens were conducted by quasi-static cyclic loading test. FRP thickness, concrete strength, horizontal rebar ratio, and diameter were selected as test parameters. The capacities of ductility for cyclic loading was evaluated and the damping ratio and failure mode from the stiffness reduction of each test specimen were compared.

In this paper, the bond performance between prestressing strand and Ultra High Performance Concrete members are verified to collect the basis data of UHPC increased in practical uses recently. Concrete pouring direction, strand location and strand size were the main parameters of UHPC. As a result, the initial bond performances are influenced by all above parameters.

The objective of this study is to take the first step in creating a user-friendly health monitoring system for recycled aggregate concrete structure using acoustic emission(AE). Each specimen was a cube, the edge of which was 150mm. For pull-out tests, a steel rebar, 13mm in diameter, was embedded in the center of each specimen and casting directions(i.e., vertical and horizontal) were considered in this paper. The AE parameters were analyzed for damage levels(i.e. internal cracking stage, pull-out stage) of all specimens. Results from this study show that event, duration versus amplitude of a signal, showed a clear difference for different loading stages depending upon the concrete casting directions.

중트럭 통행으로 인한 철근콘크리트 교량바닥판의 열화는 교량구조물을 유지보수하는데 있어 심각한 문제 중 하나이며, 프리캐스트 바닥판을 이용한 교량바닥판의 시공 및 교체 방법이 실용적이며 효과적인 방법으로 인식되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 횡방향 ddusruf부에 종방향 프리스트레싱을 도입한 프리캐스트 바닥판의 모델을 제작하여 바닥판간 횡방향 연결부의 강성 평가 및 연결부의 피로 거동을 파악하기 위해서 피로실험을 수행하여 피로하중하에서의 휨강성의 변화, 균열발생 및 파괴하중 등을 측정하였다. 실험결과를 통해서 피로하중하에서 프리스트레스 프리캐스트 부재의 프리스트레스 효과를 평가하였으며, 현장타설에 의해서 시공되는 일반 RC 부재에 비해서 우수한 구조적 거동을 보여주는 적정량의 종방향 프리스트레스 크기를 결정하였다.

본연구는 축방향 변형 구속이 고강도 콘크리트 휨부재의 휨 전단거동에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위한 것으로, 수화열과 건조수축에 기인하는 축방향 변형과 재하에 의한 축방향 변형을 구속한 부재 및 무구속 부재에 대하여 휨파괴와 전단파괴 실험을 실시하였다. 타설 직후부터 축변형을 구속한 실험체의 재하시 강성은 재하전의 구속으로 발생한 관통균열의 영향을 받아 무구속 실험체의 강성보다 낮지만, 재하시의 축변형 구속에 따른 압축구속력의 상승으로 인하여 강성의 크기는 역전되었다 축변형이 완전히 구속된 휨부재의 휨강도는 무구속 부재보다 20%이상 상승하지만 변형능력은 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며, 재하전의 축변형 구속에 의한 관통균열(균열폭 0.1mm 미만)은 부재의 전단내력 및 전단균열 진전 형상에 영향을 미치지 않았다.

Vertical drains along with the preloading technique have been commonly used to enhance the consolidation rate of dredged placement formation. In practice, vertical drains are usually installed in the process of self-weight consolidation of a dredged soil deposit because this process takes considerable time to be completed, which makes conventional analytical or numerical models difficult to quantify the consolidation behavior. In this paper, we propose a governing partial differential equation and develop a numerical model for 2-D axisymmetric non-linear finite strain consolidation considering self-weight consolidation to predict the behavior of a vertical drain in the dredged placement foundation which is installed during the self-weight consolidation. In order to verify the developed model in this paper, results of the numerical analysis are compared with that of the lab-scaled self-weight consolidation test. In addition, the model verification has been carried out by comparing with the simplified method. The comparisons show that the developed model can properly simulate the consolidation of the dredged placement formation with the vertical drains installed during the self-weight consolidation. Finally, the effect of construction schedule of vertical drains and of pre-loading during the self-weight consolidation is examined by simulating an imaginary dredged material placement site with a thickness of 10 m and 20 m, respectively. This simulation infers the applicability of the proposed method in this research for designing a soil improvement in a soft dredged deposit when vertical drains and pre-loading are implemented before the self-weight consolidation ceases.
