Wire ropes are widely used in cable car, suspension bridge and elevator, etc. and composed of single or multi-layer strands. It is difficult to find out the characteristics of a strand or wire rope because of complicated geometry and contact condition. In this study, the axial stiffness is evaluated using finite element method and reliable finite element analysis model is presented, taking into consideration the convergence on the length. The axial stiffness predictive equation of a strand is developed using analysis of variance, which can be applicable for characterizing the relationship between load and displacement when the strand configuration is determined.

This paper examines the fire performance of uninsulated and uncoated restrained steel-concrete composite beams supplemented with externally prestressed strands through advanced numerical simulation. In this work, a sequentially coupled thermo-mechanical analysis is carried out using ABAQUS. This analysis utilizes a highly nonlinear three-dimensional finite element (FE) model that is specifically developed and validated using full-sized specimens tested in a companion fire testing program. The developed FE model accounts for nonlinearities arising from geometric features and material properties, as well as complexities resulting from prestressing systems, fire conditions, and mechanical loadings. Four factors are of interest to this work including effect of restraints (axial vs. rotational), degree of stiffness of restraints, the configuration of external prestressed tendons, and magnitude of applied loading. The outcome of this analysis demonstrates how the prestressing force in the external tendons is primarily governed by the magnitude of applied loading and experienced temperature level. Interestingly, these results also show that the stiffness of axial restraints has a minor influence on the failure of restrained and prestressed steel-concrete composite beams. When the axial restraint ratio does not exceed 0.5, the critical deflection of the composite beam is lower than that of the composite beam with a restraint ratio of 1.0.

교량 구조물 거동의 건전성 평가는 하중재하-처짐의 정적특성과 충격계수와 고유진동수 등의 동적특성으로 평가하는 것이 일반적이며, 이를 수치해석적 방법으로 비교 분석하는 것이 합리적인 방법이라 할 수 있다. 사용하중에 대한 거동은 탄성영역에서 이루어지므로 실물구조체와 수치해석의 결과는 일체성을 보이지만, 동적특성의 경우 특히, 진동학적 분석에 있어서는 구조물의 기하형상과 사용재료의 이질성에 기인하여 실물 구조체의 결과와 다소 차이를 보인다. 이러한 오차를 수렴시키기 위하여 본 연구는 실물 모형체의 실험결과를 바탕으로 다양한 수치해석적 모델을 제시하고 그 예민도를 분석함으로써, 교량 구조물 평가를 위한 실용적인 모델링 기법을 도출하여 안정적인 예비 해석 결과를 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다. 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 구조물의 긴장재를 환산단면으로 치환한 모델을 기반으로 긴장재의 탄성적 특성을 반영한 모델과 수정된 탄성계수를 적용한 모델의 고유진동수가 실물 모형체의 그것과 가장 유사한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

In many previous studies, a prestressed concrete column has a larger flexural strength, shear strength and restoring force than a RC column. Recently, a precast prestressed concrete column is rising up a very rational column structure in that a economic aspect. In a precast prestressed concrete column, it makes in a factory. So, it needs a small construction site and acquires a higher durability than a cast in place concrete column. Seven precast concrete columns were tested under a constant axial load and a cyclically reversed horizontal load to investigate the performance. It is designed with a hollow section and consisted of 4 segments. The main variables of the test were a amount of prestressed, a type of joints and a boding type of strands. The test results show that the performance of a precast prestressed concrete column; failure mode, maximum load, energy dissipation and stiffness degradation.
