Depending on the researcher, the effect of prestressing on the natural frequency of a PSC (prestressed concrete) structure appear to have been interpreted differently. Most laboratory tests on PSC beams available showed that the natural frequency is increased appreciably by prestressing. On the other hand, some other references based on field experience argued that the dynamic response of a PSC structure does not change regardless of the prestressing applied. Therefore, the deduced conclusions are inconsistent. Because an experiment with and without prestressing is a difficult task on a full size PSC bridge, the change in natural frequency of a PSC bridge due to prestressing may not be examined through field measurements. The study examined analytically the effects of prestressing on the natural frequency of PSC bridges. A finite element program for an undamped dynamic motion of a beam-tendon system was developed with additional geometric stiffness. The analytical results confirm that a key parameter in changing the natural frequency due to prestressing is the relative ratio of prestressing to the total weight of the structure rather than the prestressing itself.

The fatigue problem of Prestressed Concrete(PSC) bridges are more serious than the other type of concrete bridges, because the cross sectional area and self weight of PSC bridges are smaller. The endurance of strengthening methods for PSC bridges are tested in this study. Glass fiber sheeting and external post-tensioning methods were applied. 1/5 scale PSC beams were made for fatigue test, same as static test. The range of repeated load is from 10% to 80% of yielding load with sine curve. The experimental results show that the failure cycle of strengthened members are increased compare to non-strengthened members. The members strengthened with glass fiber show better enhancement in fatigue problem than the members strengthened with external post-tensioning method, though the adhesion of glass fiber and concrete is failed, as increase of crack. With these experimental results, it can be said that the strengthening methods used in this study are efficient at extending the life time of aged PSC bridges.

본 연구에서는 비선형 FEM 해석을 이용하여 PSC(Prestressed concrete)와 강으로 구성된 혼합구조 보의 휨 실험을 검증하였다. 혼합구조 보의 거동에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 연결부는 Perfobond rib로 구성된 경우와 스터드로 구성된 경우를 고려하였다. 이종 재료가 접하는 경계면의 상호 작용에 대해 완전합성과 부분합성인 경우를 고려하여 혼합구조 보의 비선형 해석을 수행한 후 해석 결과와 실험 결과를 비교하였다. 하중-처짐관계, 파괴 형상 등의 해석 결과를 실험 결과와 비교한 결과, 부분합성을 고려한 모형이 실험 결과와 유사한 거동을 보였으며 또한 Perfobond rib를 갖는 실험체가 스터드를 갖는 실험체보다 해석 결과와 비교 시 안전측의 결과를 나타냈다.

PSC 보의 비파괴 손상검색을 위한 고유진동수 이용 손상추정법과 모드형상 이용 손상추정법을 제시하였다. 먼저, 고유진동수의 변화를 사용하여 손상의 위치를 예측하는 알고리즘과 고유진동수 1차 섭동 이론에 근거하여 균열크기를 예측하는 알고리즘을 요약하였다 다음으로, 모드형상의 변화로부터 모드민감도의 변화를 감지하고 이를 통해 손상의 위치와 크기를 추정하는 손상지수 알고리즘을 요약하였다. PSC 보의 유한요소모델을 사용하는 수치실험을 통해 고유 진동수 이용 손상추정법과 모드형상 이용 손상추정 법의 정확성을 검증하였다. 분석결과 두 방법 모두 실험 대상 구조에 도입된 균열의 위치를 정확하게 예측하였으며 균열의 크기를 비교적 근사하게 예측하였다.

One of the uncertain damage parameters to jeopardize the safety of existing PSC bridges is the loss of the prestress force. A substantial prestress-loss can lead to severe problems in the serviceability and safety of the PSC bridges. In this paper, a nondestructive method to detect prestress-loss in beam-type PSC bridges using a few natural frequencies is presented. An analytical model is formulated to estimate changes in natural frequencies of the PSC bridges under various prestress forces. Also, an inverse-solution algorithm is proposed to detect the prestress-loss by measuring the changes in natural frequencies. The feasibility of the proposed approach is evaluated using PSC beams for which a few natural frequencies were experimentally measured for a set of prestress-loss cases. Numerical models of two-span continuous PSC beams are also examined to verify that the proposed algorithm works on more complicated cases.

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.

To evaluate the structural integrity of the NPP containment building more rigorously, the effective prestress, which is one of the most affecting elements, needs to be estimated exactly. This paper presents the results of an experimental study to determine the effective prestress force in prestressed concrete beams. It is possible to improve the effective prestress measuring method by test beam, which is being applied for the investigation of the nuclear power plant in operation. If experimentally evaluated Lift-Off method in this study can be coupled with test beam test currently being used in in-service nuclear power plant, it is possible to measure prestress loss of the tendon and the level of the effective prestress load.

In this paper experimental tests were performed to evaluate velocities of the acoustic waves through prestressed concrete beam and source locations using AE technique. Seven AE sensors are mounted on the surface of 5m length test beam with equal spacing and using Schmidt Hammer AE events are made 18 locations. The velocities of AE signals are evaluated using the time differences of arrival times and the distances between the AE source loactions and the AE sensor locations. In addition, using the Least Square Method, the AE source locations are re-evaluated reversely using both of the arrival times and the velocities of AE signals. Test results show the average velocity of the AE signals is about 4,000m/sec and the velocity decreased with the increase of the trevalling times due to the effect of attenuation. Based on the estimation of the source locations, it is observed that the accuracy of source location is increased when the velocity of each AE sensor used rather than the average velocity.

본 연구에서는 국내 개량형 PSC거더(Prestressed Concrete Girder)의 연속화 방식의 문제점과 연속텐던(Continuous Tendon)의 휨모멘트(Bending Moment) 특성을 분석하였다. 이 결과들을 바탕으로 본 연구에서는 거더 연속부의 부모멘트(Negative Moment) 제어에 효과적인 연속텐던 모델을 제안하였다. 이 모델은 연속텐던의 정착단을 거더 하부로 최대한 내리고, 거더 하부로 배치되는 텐던 구간을 늘려, 거더 중앙부의 긴장력 모멘트가 감소하더라도 연속지점부의 긴장력 모멘트를 증가시키는 방법이다. 이러한 연속텐던 모델은 거더 중앙부보다 연속지점부에서 대응해야 할 설계모멘트가 큰 합성 전 연속화 공법에 적합한 성능을 발휘할 수 있다.
