세그멘탈 교량에 포스트 텐셔닝 힘을 도입할 때 발생하는 가장 큰 문제는 균열의 발생이다. 이러한 균열은 실제 구조물의 강도감소 뿐 아니라, 이 균열은 염분 및 수분 침투의 통로가 되어, 부식 및 동결손상의 주원인이 되어 구조안전도에 큰 문제를 유발한다. 본 연구는 국부 집중 하중을 받는 프리스트레스 정착부의 응력분포 특성을 규명하고, 국부집중응력으로 인한 균열 발생 요인을 규명하여, 균열발생방지방안 및 그 대책을 강구함에 그 근본 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여 텐던에 대한 형상, 국부보강방식, 단일 및 복수텐던의 영향, 구조보강 철근량에 따른 콘크리트 내부 변형도 및 균열양상을 도출하기 위해, 부재를 제작하여 실험을 실시하여 균열의 양상 및 균열발생원인을 조사하고, 그 구체적 보강방안을 찾고자 한다.

In many years, post-tensioning method has been used for structural reinforcement of RC structures due to easy installation and good quality control. This study presents practical application results for the effectiveness of structural post-tensioning reinforcement of the FCM bridge girders, cement silos and building girders. For the FCM bridges deflected excessively at the end of girders, for cement silos cracked vertically at silo surface and for building girders deflected due to heavy load from roof, the external post-tensioning method was used for uplifting deflected girders and closing cracks with increasing resisting capacity of the structures. It was demonstrated that all the items were rehabilitated nearly to the initial construction status according to the field test results.

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures have been most widely used because of their good economic efficiency. However, it is very weak in tensile stresses and difficult to control deflection due to the heavy self-weight of concrete. On the other hand, it is generally known that prestressed concrete structures can be the most effective to overcome the demerits of RC structures by using various tendon lay-out and its amount. In the prestressed concrete members, the inflection points of tendons should be placed effectively for the deflection control and the moment reduction. Therefore, in this study, the equations of tendon profiles are derived in terms of polynomials that satisfy essential conditions of tendon geometries such as inflection points and natural curved shapes of tendons placed in continuous members, from which vertical components of prestressing forces can be also calculated. The derived high order polynomial expression for the distributed shape of the upward and downward forces was transformed to an simplified equivalent uniform vertical force in order to improve the applicability in the calculation of member deflection. The influences of vertical forces by tendons to deflection and moment in a continuous slab were also considered depending on the distance from column face to the location of tendons. The applicability of the proposed method was examined by an example of deflection calculation for the cases of slabs with and without tendons, and the efficiency of deflection control by tendons was also quantitatively estimated.
