The use of half PC slab is increasing to shorten construction period. Because the drying shrinkage of topping concrete is restrained by PC slab, the tensile stress is generated at the topping concrete and the cracks can be occurred at the topping concrete due to drying shrinkage. Therefore, it is important to predict the tensile strain of half PC slab due to drying shrinkage to improve the quality of half PC slab. However, there is no studies on prediction of shrinkage behavior of half PC slab yet. Therefore, in this study, half PC slab was made, and the predictability of tensile strain generated at half PC slab due to drying shrinkage was investigated. The step by step method considering creep was used to estimate the tensile strain of half PC slab. In result, good agreement was obtained between the analytical and experimental values.

This paper summarizes experimental results for studying feasibility and structural behavior of' a half slab which is getting popularity in recent building construction in favour of the savings in manpower, coats, and construction period. 17 specimens were tested to investigate and analyze the flexural strength of precast concrete slab, half slab, and half slab-wall joint. The primary variables of the testing program were: thickness of precast concrete slab, truss mesh shape, and type of loadings. Test results show that the flexural strength of precast concrete slab in reverse loading is lower than the design strength, but the flexural strength of precast concrete slab, half slab and half slab-wall joint in direct loading is higher than the design srength. No horizontal cracks were found in the connection between insitu concrete and precast concrete slab. The flexural strength of half slab and half slab-wall joint was the same as that of reinforced concrete members. This study concludes that there will not be any structural problem in using a half slab reinforced by truss mesh if props spacing of 2.0m-2.5m, cleanness, and rough finishing between precast concrete and insitu concrete slab are kept.

This paper is to study the mechanical behavor and structural safety of the wire-mesh half slab by an analytical method. Layer model was adopted by modelling the wire-mesh half slab as a flexural member composed of free cantilever beam and vertical supports (walls or beams). Reasonable results for the prediction of ultimate strength of the half stab at each loading direction and design recommendations for the reinforcement detail at wall(beam)-slab joints are acquired. On the other hand, ductility capacity of the wire-mesh half slab was overestimated by not considering the brittleness of wire-mesh reinforcements pre-manufactured at the form of Kaiser Truss.

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.

This study was conducted to develop the design methodology of gap slabs for the post-tensioned concrete pavement (PTCP). The gap slabs were considered as unbonded, half bonded, and bonded types. According to the types of the gap slabs, the curling stresses were investigated first under the environmental loads. The stresses due to the vehicle loads were analyzed considering both the single and tandem axles. The method to calculate the prestressing amount was suggested by comparing the combined stresses due to both loads and the allowable tensile stress of concrete. The prestressing amount for the unbonded type gap slab could be designed by considering only the gap slab; however, for the half bonded and bonded gap slabs, the whole PTCP slab should be analyzed to properly design the prestressing amount.

This study was carried out as basic study to apply to construction site the HPC method which is being developed. The construction cost of HPC method was analyzed in comparison with conventional method (half slab method). With regard to research method, it was decided that data on construction work carried out by half slab method was analyzed. According to the results of study, in case of being applied to the construction work using a divided column, the number of columns was decreased. So, it was shown that member production cost, and transport and assemblage cost reduced. In case of being applied to construction work using an undivided column, the analysis showed that there was little difference in construction cost. Therefore, the analysis showed that, if HPC construction method was applied to large structure using a large column, the construction cost was reduced to some extent in comparison with conventional half slab method.

In order to investigate on the behavior of one-way slab with Kaiser. Truss, such as flexural strength, failure mode, and ductile capacity, a total of twenty specimens have been tested and compared with the R.C slab without Kaiser Truss. The major variables are Kaiser Truss intervals(30, 40, 60cm), half slab thickness. Test results showed that support interval of half pc slab can be determined by the flexural strength which causes the concrete crack and there are horizontal cracks between upper concrete and half slab in the connection of the specimen with kaiser truss interval 60cm.

Recently, as the concern for the development of a construction method for an environmental protection and for tall building is increasing, the use of the half precast concrete(PC) slab that has the solution of environmental problems and the advantage such as reduction of construction period is being demanded. However, there is shortcoming that the crack can occur easily while constructing, and these cracks can have a bad influence upon the structural performance of PC composite slab. However, there is little studies on the influence of these cracks on the structural performance of composite PC slab. In this study, the specimen caused the crack before pouring topping concrete in the half PC slab and the PC composite slab without the cracks were produced to investigate the structural performance of PC composite slab with crack.

The design methodologies for carbon fiber sheet(CFS) strengthening of RC structures are not well established yet because the structural behavior of strengthened RC structures is more complex than that of unstrengthened ones. Even though the research for the methods using CFS has beed studied, the strengthening effects and structural behaviors of strengthened structures are not systematized yet. The purpose of this study is to carry out the experimental studies on three kinds of half scale RC slab bridges and to investigate the behavior of RC slab bridges from the experimental results. Typical flexural failure occurs in the non-strengthening slab like general RC slab bridges, and also the flexural failure occurs in the all area strengthened slab with sudden rip-off failure of strengthening material by punching shear. For the case of strip type strengthened slab, flexural failure occurs, with rip-off of second strip at the base of loading point. Strengthening effect on the slab using CFS is that the strength is increased upto 7~15 percent and the crack pattern is changed.
