Fatigue failure is a phenomenon such that structures under cyclic service load is failed by sudden brittle manner. Therefore, in order to obtain structures safety against the fatigue failure during their service lifes, fatigue characteristics should be considered for design and analysis of the structures. As stress range of prestressed (PS) tendons, which governs fatigus characteristic of prestressed concrete (PSC) structures, increases with increased use of partial prestressig, it is more necessary to consider fatigue characteristics of PS tendons. In this paper, direct-tension fatigue experiments with special specimen-setting devices are carried out to obtain fatigue characteristics of domestic low relaxation PS strands having different diameters and PS strands connected with coupler. Then, allowable stress range of fatigue for PSC beams using low relaxation strands are presented for the fatigue examination of prestressed concrete beams applied cyclic loading.

Bridges are deteriorating over service life due to over weight vehicles, environmental conditions and so on. In addition to that, those could be classified into low level bridges which are not fit for highway because of upgrade of the design load. Consequently, such reasons impel the bridges to be repaired or strengthened. Among the rehabilitating methods, FRP sheets and externally prestressing methods are preferred recently. This paper presents experimental results about the behavior of PSC beams strengthened by external tendons and CFRP sheets.

In this study, nonlinear analyses of prestressed concrete(PSC) test beams for inservice inspection of prestressed concrete containments for CANDU nuclear power plants are presented. In the analysis the material nonlinearities of concrete, rebar and prestressing steel are used. To reduce the numerical instability with respect to the used finite element mesh size, the tension stiffening effect has been considered. For concrete, the tensile stress-strain relationship derived from tests is modified and the stress-strain curve of rebar is assumed as a simple bilinear model. The stress-strain curve of prestressing steel is applied as a multilineal curve with the first straight line up to 0.8fpu. To prove the validity of the applied material models, the behavior and strength of the PSC test specimens tested to failure have been evaluated. A reasonable agreement between the experimental results and the predictions is obtained. Parametric studies on the tension stiffening effects, the impact of prestressing losses with time, and the compressive strength of concrete have been conducted.

Structural tests of the PSC Beam bridge using high strength concrete, concrete compressive strength 700kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$, are conducted for the application including durability and serviceability of the bridge. Current design safety factors with respect to the jacking force and the service design load DB-24 are applied to the design of the bridge. Concrete compressive strength 700kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$, girder depth 2.3m, girder space 3.2m, span length 20m, and slab thickness 27cm are selected for the bridge test. The Bulb-Tee section of the girders is applied instead of I section because it is well known more stable to the longer span(40m). Static load test(4 beams) with composite and non-composite section, and fatigue load test(1 beams) with composite section are conducted. Crack moment, ultimate load, deflections with load steps, and strains of the beam section for those bridges are investigated. The structural test results of the bridges showed a good performance for a safety and a serviceability.

Flexural-torsional behaviors of the typical architectural precast beam sections - inverted tee and rectangular - were compared. The inverted-tee beams were designed with a parking live load - 500kgf/$\textrm{m}^2$ and a market-1,200kgf/$\textrm{m}^2$ according to the currently used typical shape in the domestic market building site. The rectangular beams were also designed as the same bottom dimension and area, and reinforced for similar strength as in the cases of inverted tee beams. Two rectangular and two inverted precast pretensioned concrete beams were tested and analyzed

This study investigated the effects of prestressing force on the natural frequency of concrete beams considering changes in the self-weight of the beam. For this, a finite element formulation was derived to account for the increase in the stiffness of a beam-tendon system due to the axial force and deformation induced by prestressing of the tendon. The developed finite element formulation was validated with the data obtained in laboratory experiments. The experimental natural frequencies of the small prestressed concrete (PSC) beam specimens were consistent with those obtained using the proposed method. The first natural frequency increased almost linearly as the prestressing force increased. The proposed method was then applied to four actual PSC bridges typically employed in the field. Different from the laboratory specimens, the first natural frequencies of the actual PSC bridges barely changed or increased with increasing prestressing force. The results of an analytical parametric study showed that the increase in the natural frequency strongly depended on the magnitude of the prestressing force relative to the total weight of the structure. Thus, the variation in the natural frequencies of the actual PSC bridges with high total weight relative to the prestressing force was negligible due to the application of the prestressing force.

이 논문에서는 외부강선으로 긴장된 PSC 거더의 비선형 해석방법에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 외부강선은 정착부와 편향부에서만 부재와 일체로 거동을 하고 정착부-편향부, 편향부-편향부 사이에서 독립적인 거동을 보이는 특성으로 인해 구조물의 처짐이 증가할 경우 부재와 외부강선의 편심량이 감소하여 모멘트가 변화하는 2차 효과(secondary effect)가 발생한다. 또한 편향부에서 외부강선의 인장력 차이로 인해 슬립(slip)이 발생할 경우 외부강선의 인장력이 재분배되어 복잡한 비선형 거동을 보이게 된다. 이 논문에서는 정착부-편향부, 편향부-편향부 사이의 외부강선을 여러 개의 곡선요소로 모사하고, 편향부에서의 마찰력과 driving force(미끄러지는 힘)의 평형관계를 이용하여 외부강선의 인장력을 재분배함으로써 편향부에서의 슬립효과를 고려하였다. 이 논문에서 제시한 외부강선의 유한요소모델과 해석방법을 저자들이 개발한 시공단계를 고려한 PSC 뼈대의 비선형 해석 프로그램에 통합하고, 외부강선으로 긴장된 PSC 보의 해석에 적용하여 외부강선에 대한 유한요소모델 및 해석방법의 정당성과 적용성을 확인하였다. 또한 편향부의 수와 편향부에서의 마찰계수에 따른 극한거동을 검토해본 결과, 편향부의 수가 증가할수록 PSC 보의 항복하중과 극한하중은 증가하였으며, 편향부에서의 마찰계수에 따른 극한거동은 외부강선과 편향부 사이의 마찰력으로 인해 부재에 전달되는 모멘트의 영향에 따라 마찰계수가 적정한 값일 경우에 극한내력이 최대치를 보이는 것을 확인하였다.

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.

이 논문에서는 외부 비부착 강선으로 보강되는 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 구조물 거동에 대한 해석모델을 개발하였다. 외부 비부착 강선은 직선 형태를 유지하며 정착부와 편향부 사이에 연결되기 때문에, 콘크리트 구조물의 변형과 무관한 직선거동 가지며 콘크리트 부재의 도심과 외부 강선 사이의 편심의 변화에 의한 2차 효과가 발생하게 된다. 그리고 편향부에서의 마찰력 (friction force)과 미끄러지는 힘 (driving force)사이의 힘의 평형관계를 토대로 마찰슬립 현상이 고려되었다. 또한 실험결과와 수치해석결과의 비교를 통해, 제안된 수치해석 모델이 높은 정확성을 가지고 외부 비부착 강선으로 보강된 PSC 구조물의 거동을 효과적으로 모사할 수 있음을 검증하였다.

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.
