현재 국내에서 PSC 거더의 제작은 주로 포스트텐션방식을 사용하고 있다. 포스트텐션방식은 콘크리트 양생 후 긴장력을 도입하여 제작회전율이 높은 특성을 가지나 쉬스, 그라우팅, 정착장치 등이 요구되어 조립과정이 복잡하고 제작단가가 높다. 교량에 적용되는 PSC 거더를 포스트텐션방식 대신에 프리텐션방식으로 제작한다면 제작단가를 대폭 감소시킬 수 있을 것이나, 교량용 PSC 거더의 길이가 일반적으로 30~50m이므로 공장에서 제작하여 현장으로 운반하는 것은 운반비용의 상승 및 운반 가능한 크기의 제한을 받게 된다. 운반의 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 현장에서 PSC 거더를 제작하여야 하는데 현장에 긴장대를 고정식으로 설치하는 것은 제작단가의 상승으로 이어져 경제성을 잃게 된다. 따라서 현장에서 사용할 수 있도록 이동식 긴장대를 제작한다면 경제성을 갖춘 프리텐션방식의 PSC 거더 생산이 가능할 것이다. 50m급 이동식 긴장대에는 약 10MN에 이르는 매우 큰 긴장력이 가해져 이동식 긴장대가 콘크리트 양생전까지 이 긴장력을 저항하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 유한요소 해석프로그램인 ABAQUS를 사용하여 50m급 PSC 거더를 생산할 수 있는 이동식 긴장대를 모델링하여 약 10MN에 이르는 긴장력이 가해질 때에 이동식 긴장대의 각 구성요소의 거동특성 및 하중에 대한 안전성 및 좌굴에 대한 안정성 확보 여부를 해석적으로 파악하고자 한다. 이동식 긴장대는 구성요소인 정착블럭(긴장BOX)과 중간연결블럭으로 나누어 모델링하였다. 정착블럭(긴장BOX)은 다수의 강판을 4절점 쉘요소(S4R)를 사용하여 직육면체의 BOX 형상에 내부를 보강한 단면으로 구성하였고, 중간연결블럭은 H형강 2개를 일체화한 긴장대 거더와 콘크리트 바닥판 블록이 볼트로 합성된 구조이며, H형강은 4절점 쉘요소(S4R), 바닥판블럭은 8절점솔리드요소(C3D8R)를 사용하였다. 긴장대거더와 바닥판블럭은 합성거동을 하도록 weld option을 사용하여 부분적으로 결합하였다. 정적해석결과 이동식 긴장대에 발생하는 응력은 도로교 설계기준에 SS400 강재의 허용응력 140MPa 보다 작으며 선형탄성좌굴 해석결과 가력하중의 2.22배 약 21MN의 하중이 가력되어야 전체좌굴이 발생하게 될 것으로 추정된다. 해석결과를 보아 50m급 PSC 거더를 생산할 수 있는 이동식 긴장대는 하중에 대한 안전성 및 좌굴에 대한 안정성을 확보하고 있는 것으로 판단된다.

An analytical model for predicting the shear strength of prestressed concrete beams without shear reinforcement was developed, on the basis of the existing strain-based shear strength model. It was assumed that the compression zone of intact concrete in the cross-section primarily resisted the shear forces rather than the tension zone. The shear capacity of concrete was defined based on the material failure criteria of concrete. The shear capacity of the compression zone was evaluated along the inclined failure surface, considering the interaction with the compressive normal stress. Since the distribution of the normal stress varies with the flexural deformation of the beam, the shear capacity was defined as a function of the flexural deformation. The shear strength of a beam was determined at the intersection of the shear capacity curve and the shear demand curve. The result of the comparisons to existing test results showed that the proposed model accurately predicted the shear strength of the test specimens.

Post-tensioned prestressed concrete members experience immediate prestress losses as well as time-dependent prestress losses such as creep, dry shrinkage and relaxation. In addition, the stress of the upper and lower parts of the member changes due to the change in dead load due to the replacement of the upper slab and/or pavement. Such changes in fiber stress may affect the safety of the member, and it is necessary to adjust the prestressing force. Therefore, in this study, a screw type of re-tensioning post-tension kit is proposed, and it is verified that the safety against load and the stability against strain are satisfied through the load transfer test specified in EAD160004 and KCI-PS101.

To ensure the serviceability requirements of PSC composite girder bridges, it is essential to predict the stresses and deformations of the structure under service load conditions. Stresses and deformations vary continuously with time due to the effects of creep and shrinkage of concrete and relaxation of prestressing steel. The importance of these time-dependent effects is much more pronounced in precast prestressed concrete structures built in stages than in those constructed in one operation. In this paper, time-dependent analyses for PSC composite bridges using 30m standard girders have been conducted considering with the variation of the times of introducing initial prestressing forces and casting concrete. A computer program has been developed for the time-dependent analysis of simple or continuous PSC composite girders and parametric studies are conducted. Based on the numerical results, it is investigated the long-term behaviors of PSC composite girder bridges and discussed the limitations of the current codes for the prestress loss.

The stress laminated timber, which could be manufactured by small dimension lumber on construction site, has high possibilities for bridges in remote area, such as recreation forest or forest road, because those bridges may be short span and low frequency in use. The stress laminated timber has merits of easiness for preservative treatment and transportation because it is manufactured with small dimension lumber. This study was carried out to analyze performances of stress laminated timber manufactured with preservative treated domestic pitch pine for developing structural design data for stress laminated timber bridges for vehicular traffic. Perpendicular to grain compressive performance by preservative treatment and bending performance by bored holes of pitch pine lumber was analyzed. Then, the effects of bending performance by pre-stress pressure, distance of bolts, number of laminations and planning were analyzed. Conclusively, planning of lumber was not necessary for manufacturing stress laminated timber, and 80% of bending stiffness criteria was maintained as pre-stress pressure was higher than 3.0 kg/$cm^2$. However, further researches are needed to define the effects of bolt distances and number of laminations. The results of this research would be basic data for design stress laminated timber bridges for vehicular traffic in Korea.

Recent studies to develop Very Large Floating Structure(VLFS) has shown that the construction procedure of the structure needs to acquire precast concrete module connection system using prestressing. However, the loads occurring on water are complex combinations of various condition, so the safe and stable performance of the module joints and bonding materials are key to the success of the construction. Therefore, micro-silica mixed aqua-epoxy development was introduced in Part 1 using a bonding material developed in this study. The performance of the micro-silica mixed aqua-epoxy(MSAE) applied joint of concrete module specimens connected by prestressing tendon was evaluated to verify the usability and safety of the material. RC beam, spliced beam connected by prestressing tendon and MSAE, and continuous prestressed concrete beam were tested for their initial cracking and maximum loads as well as cracking procedure and pattern. The results showed that the MSAE can control the stress concentration effect of the shear key and the crack propagation, and the maximum load capacity of MSAE joint specimens are only 5% less than that of continuous RC specimen. The details of the study are discussed in detail in the paper.

The study presents a three-dimensional approach to simulate the nonlinear behavior of a 72 m long Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) pre-stressed box girder for a pedestrian bridge in Busan, South Korea. The concrete damage plasticity (CDP) model is adopted to model the non-linear behavior of the UHPFRC material, in which the material properties are obtained from uniaxial compressive and tensile tests. The simulation model based on the proposed stress-strain curve is validated by the results of four-point bending model tests of a 50 m UHPFRC pre-stressed box girder. The results from the simulation models agree with the experimental observations and predict the flexural behavior of the 50 m UHPFRC pre-stressed box girder accurately. Afterward, the validated model is utilized to investigate the flexural behavior of the 72 m UHPFRC pre-stressed box girder. Here, the load-deflection curve, stress status of the girder at various load levels, and connection details is analyzed. The load-deflection curve is also compared with design load to demonstrate the great benefit of the slender UHPFRC box girder. The obtained results demonstrate the applicability of the nonlinear finite element method as an appropriate option to analyze the flexural behavior of pre-stressed long-span girders.

Recently, the externally prestressed unbonded concrete structures are increasingly being built. The mechanical behavior of prestressed concrete beams with external unbonded tendon is different from that of normal bonded PSC beams in that the slip of tendons at deviators and the change of tendon eccentricity occurs as external loads are applied in external unbonded PSC beams. The purpose of the present paper is therefore to evaluate the flexural behavior by performing static flexural test according to tendon area and tendon force. From experimental results, before flexural cracking, there was no difference between external members and bonded members. However, after cracking, yielding load of reinforcement, ultimate load, and the tendon stress of external members was lower than that of bonded members. For the relationship of load-tendon stress, the increasing of tendon strain was inversely proportional to the initial tendon force. However, even if the initial tendon force was large, the tendon strain with small effective stress was smaller than that with large effective stress. The concrete compressive strain was proportional to the effective stress of external tendon. From the comparison between test results and codes, the ACI-318 could not consider the effect of tendon force or effective stress, and especially the results of ACI-318 were very small, so it was very conservative. And the AASHTO 1994 could be influenced on the tendon area, initial force and effective stress, but as it was made on the basis of internal unbonded tendon, its results were much larger than the test results. For this reason, the new correct predict equation of external tendon stress will be needed.

Recently in case of the concrete retaining wall precast technological change in the field assembled by the way. A precast wall is devied into upper and lower respectively, and the way, assembled in field is being performed. But the assembled part could have been damaged by the earth pressure in a relatively high buttress wall. And, it have been pointed out that large-scale disaster can be occurred. Thus, in this thesis, a structural stability for the buttressed retaining wall with pre-cast joint method was analyzed by a numerical analysis method. The structural stability of the three height retaining wall(7.6m, 8.5m, 10m) was conducted respectively for earth pressure. The maximum principal stress applied to the concrete retaining wall was analyzed to occur locally in the vicinity of the fixing anchor as 23.3 ~ 43.2 MPa.

In recent bridge design, studies on application of external prestress have actively been conducted. When prestress is applied to steel structures, the limit value of elastic strain with large load increases with reduction of steels, this method is economic in cost. According to study by Brodka (1969), steel plate bridges with prestress has an effect on cost saving of about 15% compared with structures without prestress. For that reason, our country recently adopted this method in construction of temporary bridges and various engineering technologies have been developed which made stress correction, droop correction and long-span construction possible with relatively small cross sections. This study verifies the method of application of prestress in temporary steel structures, the influence of high-strength tendon arrangement and the effects of composite structures of steel plates and high-strength tendons based on existing method.
