Prestressed concrete (PSC) members are readly available in civil engineering applications due to the convenience of construction and easy of quality control in the manufacturing process of the member. Especially, half-depth precast concrete composite slab, which is one of the PSC flexural members is developed recently using the long-line method. The half-depth precast concrete composite slabs are composed of the precast concrete and the in-situ concrete placed at the site. In this paper, we present the results of experimental investigations pertaining to the pretensioning efficiency and the flexural behavior of half-depth precast concrete composite slab which is made of precast PSC manufactured by the long-line method. In the long-line method, the pretensioned precast member is manufactured simultaneously, by tensioning tendons at once. In addition, we suggest the equation that can estimate the flexural strength of half-depth precast concrete composite slab reasonably by considering the effects of rebar embedded in the precast PSC flexural member.

Precast concrete can be used to reduce construction period and enhance construct ability. However structural problems could be occurred due to the wrong application of boundary condition and misunderstanding of structural behavior in the process of segmentation of original structure system. I experienced a serious deflections and cracks due to the increase of bending moment and creep after the construction of precast concrete slab, and we learned that this is from the misunderstanding of support conditions and structure behaviors of precast slab panel. Two support columns under the precast slab are inserted to reduce the bending moment, and the camber according to jacking force should be estimated for the structural safety during the reinforcing work. A proper support condition and the flexural stiffness of precast concrete slab were applied to check the deflection and crack for existing structure by inverse analysis, and we can estimate the camber according to jacking force of the precast concrete slab, and suggest a method to make safe structure.

This study was conducted to investigate the feasibility of the expedite construction of new pavement systems using precast concrete slabs and to develop the design and construction guide based on the results of the experimental construction. Half scale concrete slabs were designed and fabricated and the optimal reinforcement design, linkages between the slabs in the longitudinal and transverse directions, and the grouting methods were investigated. The experimental construction was performed fast and easily by assembling two slabs in the longitudinal direction and the other two in the transverse direction. The slabs were leveled and the pockets and the space between the slab bottom and the underlying layer were grouted. From the experimental construction, details about the design and construction of the precast pavements were acquired. Finally, the design and construction guide for the newly constructed precast concrete pavement systems was developed.

This paper presents the shear capacities of hollow slab with plate and octagonal pillar type hollow sphere. Recently, the interest in precast hollow slab system for buildings is growing up according to the demand for high quality control and the increase in slab thickness. A hollow slab system is widely known as one of the effective slab system which can reduce self-weight of slab. However, hollow slabs are vulnerable to the deterioration in the shear strength due to the decrease of concrete at slab web which resists shear. Especially, in case of precast hollow slabs, it has joint surface between precast concrete slab modules along transverse axis of slab, and shear failure, that is caused by cracks at joints, has to be prevented. Therefore, in this study, shear capacity of the I-slab system is evaluated by 3-points-supported shear test along the longitudinal and transverse axis of slab specimen. Test results showed that I-slab had enough shear strength compared to theoretical shear strength even if it included the joint surfaces.

A slab examined by this study is the half precast concrete(PC) slab with the truss-reinforcement. There are many studies on the composite slab, but the study on the half precast concrete(PC) slab is little. Especially, the study on a structural performance of the half PC slab according to the height of the truss-reinforcement is extremely little. Therefore, in this research, three kinds of slabs with different height of the truss-reinforcement were made, and the bending test was conducted to research a structural performance.

To expedite construction of small precast concrete buildings using dry joints, this study developed and evaluated a connector system for solid slabs. The research included a comprehensive literature review on seismic design requirements for precast concrete floors, followed by an analytical evaluation of the connector's bearing capacity in 3-story buildings. Experimental assessments were conducted to determine the in-plane and out-of-plane capacities of the newly designed semi-circular connector. Finally, the constructability of both the semi-circular and flat connector configurations was compared through tests on single-story precast concrete frames.

In this paper, the effects of initial built-in deformation and temperature deformation on the stress distribution of discontinuous precast concrete track slab under train load were examined. According to the results, when train load is put on a precast concrete slab with initial built-in deformation and deformation due to temperature gradient, the maximum tensile stresses develop at the upper side of slab in the slab center, edge center and corner of shear pocket; the stress distribution is different from that of the case under train load only. Therefore, to accurately predict the actual weak points and failure modes, one should calculate the stress under train load considering the initial built-in and temperature deformation of the slab.

철도 시스템에서 철도궤도와 레일은 주요한 신호 시스템의 일부로 사용되고 있으나 콘크리트 슬래브 궤도 내부의 철근으로 인한 신호전류 감소, 교란 등을 방지하기 위해 과도한 절연작업이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 기 개발된 프리캐스트 슬래브 궤도의 횡방향 철근을 GFRP 보강근으로 대체하여 절연작업의 감소를 가능하게 하였다. GFRP로 보강된 프리캐스트 슬래브 궤도의 설계과정과 정적 휨 시험과 단부의 연결철근 인발 시험을 통한 거동 분석 및 고찰 내용을 제시하였다. 휨 시험과 실스케일 인발 시험의 결과 정적 휨 강도는 정립된 설계법에 의해 적절한 강도를 가지고 있으나 기 개발된 연결철근의 위치와 형태는 온도 또는 수축으로 인해 발생할 수 있는 축력을 저항할 수 없음을 확인하였다.

The fire performance of RC slabs with half-depth precast panel after exposure to the ISO-834 fire standard without loading has been experimentally investigated. During heating, according to the ISO 834 fire curve, concrete spalling was observed for concrete without PP(polypropylene) fibers. No spalling occurred when heating concrete containing PP fibers. The maximum temperature of RC slabs with PP fibers with half-depth precast panel was lower than that of concrete without PP fibers. The ultimate load after cooling of the RC slabs that were not loaded during the furnace tests was evaluated by means of 3 points bending tests. The ultimate load of the RC slabs without PP fibers showed a considerable reduction (around 32.5%) of the ultimate load after cooling if compared with of RC slabs with PP fibers. The ultimate load of the RC slabs with half-depth precast panel with PP fibers is higher than that of a full-depth RC slabs with PP fibers. Also, the addition of PP fibers and the use of half-depth precast panel improve fire resistance.
