Purpose: Postoperative exercise for acute Achilles tendon rupture is important for a patient's return to daily life and sports. On the other hand, the protocol requires considerable effort to educate patients and continuous checking. This study evaluated the outcome of a new simple and delayed rehabilitation protocol after Achilles tendon rupture repair. Materials and Methods: From July 2014 to November 2020, one hundred eighty-three patients were operated on by one surgeon. The exercise protocol was classified into two methods. One group (immediate protocol, control group) started immediate full weight bearing with a 20° plantar flexion range of motion from two days postoperatively. Ankle dorsiflexion was restricted to 0°. The other group (delayed protocol, case group) started full weight bearing with a controlled ankle motion boot from two weeks postoperatively. No range of motion exercise was allowed until six weeks postoperatively. Age, sex, body mass index, ankle range of motion, muscle power, time to return to previous physical activity, functional score, and complication rate were evaluated. The results of the two groups were compared using a Mann-Whitney test. Statistical significance was set as p<0.05. Results: The range of motion, double heel rising, and one-leg standing were achieved faster in the control group (p<0.05). However, single-heel rising, repeated single-heel rising, return to previous activity (work, run, and sport), and functional scores showed no statistical difference (p>0.05). Conclusion: Simple and delayed postoperative rehabilitation of acute Achilles tendon rupture without active range of motion exercises showed satisfactory functional results and a low complication rate.

A comparative experimental study of prestressed continuous steel-concrete composite beams was carried out. Two continuous composite beams were tested, one of which was plain continuous steel-concrete composite beam, while the other was a composite beam prestressed with external tendons. Cracking behavior and the load carrying capacity of the beams were investigated experimentally. Full plasticity was developed in the mid-span section each beam, the maximum moments attained at the internal support sections however were governed by local buckling which was related to the slenderness of composite section. It was found that in hogging moment regions, the ultimate resistance of an externally prestressed composite beam would be governed by either distortional lateral buckling or local buckling, or interactive mode of these two buckling patterns. The results show that exerting prestressing on a continuous composite beam with external tendons will increase the extent of internal force and moment redistribution in the beam. The influences of local and distortional buckling on the behaviors of the composite continuous beams are discussed. The Moment redistribution and the load carrying capacity of the prestressed continuous composite beams are evaluated, and it is found that at the ultimate state, the moment redistribution in the prestrssed continuous composite beams is greater than that in non-prestressed composite beams.

최근 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 연속 교량은 다양한 공법에 의해 시공되어지고 있으며, 특히 세스먼트로 시공되는 ILM(Incremental Launching Method)과 MSS(Movable Scaffolding System) 공법을 사용하는 경우 교량 단면에서 시공이음이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 시공이음부에서 연속적인 트리스트레스 하중을 도입하기 위해서는 텐던을 겹침이음(overlapping)하거나 텐던 커플러를 사용하는 방법이 있다. 본 연구에서는 텐던 커플러를 사용한 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 교량 부재의 텐던 접속이음에 대한 응력 상태를 구명하고자 하였으며, 이를 위해 텐던의 커플링 효과를 고려한 실험과 유한요소 해석을 수행하였다. 유한요소 해석 결과와 실험에서 얻은 접속이음부의 응력 상태는 비교적 잘 일치하는 것으로 잘 나타났으며, 텐던 커플러를 사용한 접속이음부의 응력 상태는 텐던 커플러를 사용하지 않은 경우에 비해 종방향 및 횡방향 응력 상태가 상당히 다르게 나타나고 있다. 특히 구조적으로 문제가 되는 종방향 압축응력은 접속이음부 주위에서 텐던의 접속 비율이 증가함에 따라 크게 감소하는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 이러한 텐던 접속이음부 주위에서의 종방향 압축 응력의 감소는 활하중, 온도하중 및 건조수축으로 인해 프리스트레스트 교량에 인장응력이 작용할 때 균열이 발생할 수 있는 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구에서 얻은 텐던 접속이음부에서의 응력 상태는 향후 텐던 접속이음부의 구조 거동을 평가하고, 해석 및 설계에 유용한 기초 자료를 제시하고 있다.

Prefabricated bridge substructures provide new possibility for designers in terms of efficiency of creativity, fast construction, geometry control and cost. Even though prefabricated bridge columns are widely adopted as a substructure system in the bridge construction project recently, lack of deeper understanding of the seismic behavior of prefabricated bridge substructures cause much concern on their performance in high seismic zones. In this paper, experimental research works are presented to verify enhanced design concepts of prefabricated bridge piers. Integration of precast segments was done with continuity of axial prestressing tendons and mild reinforcing bars throughout the construction joints. Cyclic tests were conducted to investigate the effects of the design parameters on seismic performance. An analytical method for moment-curvature analysis of prefabricated bridge columns is conducted in this study. The method is validated through comparison with experimental results and the fiber model analysis. A parametric study is conducted to observe the seismic behavior of prefabricated bridge columns using the analytical study based on strain compatibility method. The effects of continuity of axial steel and tendon, and initial prestressing level on the load-displacement response characteristics, i.e., the strain of axial mild steels and posttensioned tendon at fracture and concrete crushing strain at the extreme compression fiber are investigated. The analytical study shows the layout of axial mild steels and posttensioned tendons in this experiment is the optimized arrangement for seismic performance.

Prestressed concrete(PSC) bridge structures with a number of continuous spans has been segmentally built in many countries. These methods include incremental launching method, movable scaffolding method, full staging method and balanced cantilever method. In these segmentally constructed prestressed concrete bridges, many construction joints exist and these construction joints are weak points in PSC bridges. The prestress force can be introduced prestress force continuously through the construction joints of PSC bridge superstructure using tendon couplers. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the structural behavior and ultimate flexural strength of construction joints in PSC girder bridge members. To this end, a comprehensive experimental program has been set up and a series of full-scale tests have been performed. Ultimate flexural strength of construction joint in PSC members with tendon couplers is decreased by approximately 10% for non-coupled members.

In order to apply a precast deck to continuous composite bridges, several experiments and analytical studies were performed. Design criterion for crack prevention should be such that it does not permit tension at the joint to occur when the service loads are applied. Details of the shear pocket for studs and material properties of filler in the pocket and the joint are very important considerations in design and construction. Combination of longitudinal prestressing methods, internal tendon and prestressing after shear connection, should be used for prevention of cracking in continuous precast deck bridges. Design guides for the determination of prestressing force are suggested.

This study is for the strengthening method of continuous bridge through external tendon strengthening that is the most general and effective among concrete bridge's strengthening method. Recently, it is numerous that slab's parts between spans have continuity for improving trafficable ability. However, in this case, slab would have a crack; bridge's durability would be damaged, and also it is too difficult to manage and maintain bridge due to the tensile strength of negative moment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to demonstrate load-carrying through experiments and develop new external pre-stressing strengthening method for reinforcing continuous bridge.

A existing design method of PSC girder bridges, according to total service loads, stress required tendon force at a time. Because this design method increases beam depth, design of long span is difficult. However, As UC girder stressing at difficult loading stages reduces sectional depth of PSC girder, both design and operation of long span bridges is possible. so, this study analyzes the effect of design parameter (Girder Strength, Girder Spacing, Span Length, Joint Strength) on the beam depth of IPC girder continuous bridges, and shows sectional depth of UC girder for design of long span bridges. According to analysis, when a continuous bridges of same length span is at strength of joint over strength of girder of 600kg/$cm^{2}$, a change of beam depth is observed and when a continuous bridges of different span length is at strength of joint below strength of girder of 600kg/$cm^{2}$, a change of beam depth is observed. In two case, a change of beam depth is mostly observed over strength of girder of 350kg/$cm^{2}$ according to analysis of deflection data, a continuous bridges of IPC girder is nearly satisfied.

콘크리트와 강판, PS강재의 효율적인 구조적 조합을 통해 기존 교량용 거더의 단점을 보완한 SCP 합성거더가 연구 개발되어 최근에 실교량에 적용되고 있다. 지금까지 개발된 SCP 합성거더는 단순지지 형식으로 단순교에 적용되거나 지점부의 연속화를 통해 연속교로 적용할 수 있다. 경제적 장점이 있는 연속교형식으로 SCP 합성거더를 확대 적용하기 위해 세그먼트를 순차적으로 가설하는 SCP 합성거더를 이용한 연속교(SCP 연속교)의 시공방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법의 타당성을 검토하기 위하여 2경간 연속의 모형교량을 설계 제작하고, 구조적 성능을 검토하기 위하여 정적재하실험을 실시하였다. SCP 연속교는 단순교와 마찬가지로 높은 구조적 안전성을 확보 할 수 있으며, 단계별 긴장, 처짐 및 균열의 제어 등 세부적인 연구 검토가 이루어지면 실적용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
