Design codes have specified the minimum shear reinforcement requirement for reinforced concrete (RC) and prestressed concrete (PSC) members to prevent brittle and premature shear failure. They are, however, very different from one another, and particularly, ACI318 code allows the required minimum shear reinforcement to be reduced in PSC members, compared to that in RC members, by specifying the additional equation for PSC members whose basis is not clear. In this paper, the minimum shear reinforcement ratio for PSC members was proposed, which can provide a sufficient reserved shear strength and deformation capacity. The proposed equation was also verified by the test results of PSC specimens lightly reinforced in shear, comparing to design codes and other proposed equations from previous studies.

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.

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.

This paper presents the differences in growth of time-dependent strain values in reinforced cement concrete (RCC) and pre-stressed concrete (PSC) flexural members through experiment. It was observed that at any particular age, the time-dependent strain values were less in RCC beams than in PSC beams of identical size and grade of concrete. Variables considered in the study were percentage area of reinforcement, span of members for RCC beams and eccentricity of applied pre-stress force for PSC beams. In RCC beams the time-dependent strain values increases with reduction in percentage area of reinforcement and in PSC beams eccentricity directly influences the growth of time-dependent strain. With increase in age, a non-uniform strain develops across the depth of beams which influence the growth of concave curvature in RCC beams and convex curvature in PSC beams. The experimentally obtained strain values were compared with predicted strain values of similar size and grade of plane concrete (PC) beam using ACI 318 Model Code and found more than RCC beams but less than PSC beams.

The unbonded prestressed concrete(PSC) members exhibit very different structural behavior from that of bonded PSC members because of having different tendon stress increment. Recently, AASHTO changed the provision of ultimate tendon stress with unbonded tendons, because some researches tried to improve the provision of ultimate tendon stress with unbonded tendons. The purpose of the present study is to compare various Codes with the ultimate failure stresses of prestressing(PS) steels for the unbonded PSC members. To this end, Some national Codes have been collected and analyzed. A series of major influencing variables have been included in the analysis. It was found that the span-depth ratio, neutral axis depth-effective depth ratio, concrete compressive strength, effective prestress, and prestressing steel ratio have great influence on the ultimate failure stress of PS steel in unbonded PSC members. The Comparison indicates that existing formulas including ACI and domestic Code's equations shows some unwarranties. The present study allows more realistic analysis and design of prestressed concrete structures with internal unbonded tendons.

이전 연구에서는 전단철근이 배치되지 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 (Prestressed Concrete, PSC) 부재의 전단강도를 평가하기 위하여 이중잠재강도모델 (Dual potential capacity model, DPCM)이 개발되었다. 그러나 기존의 DPCM은 PSC 부재의 전단강도를 산정하기 위하여 복잡한 반복계산이 요구되며, 이 같은 이유로 DPCM의 실무적용이 어려운 실정이다. 이 연구의 목표는 기존의 DPCM을 현행 건축구조설계실무에서 적용할 수 있도록 단순화하는 것이다. 이를 위해 기존 연구로 부터 총 172개의 PSC 부재의 전단실험 결과를 수집하였다. 수집된 전단실험 결과들은 다양한 단면형태와 프레스트레싱 특성을 갖는 PSC 부재들을 포함한다. 이 연구를 제시하는 단순화된 DPCM은 상당한 정확도로 PSC 부재들의 전단강도를 평가할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

The external, unbonded prestressed concrete(PSC) members exhibit very different structural behavior from that of internal bonded PSC members because of eccentricity change and slip occurrence during loading process. The purpose of the present study is to propose the ultimate failure stresses of prestressing (PS) steels for those external unbonded PSC members. To this end, a comprehensive analysis has been made using the nonlinear finite element analysis program developed recently for external unbonded PSC members by authors. A series of major influencing variables have been included in the analysis. It was found that the span-depth ratio, neutral axis depth-effective depth ratio, load geometry, amount of ordinary steel, and prestressing steel ration have great influence for the ultimate failue stress of PS steel is preposed and is compared with experimental dat as well as existing formulas for internal unbonded members. The Comparison indicates that the proposed equation agrees relatively well with experimental data and that existing formulas including ACI and AASHTO equations show some discrepancies from experimental ones. The present study allows more realistic analysis and design of prestressed concrete structures with external unbonded tendons.

ASCE-ACI Committee 426 and 445, on Shear and Torsion, well noted in their report that recent research work regarding shear and torsion had been devoted primarily to members. But it was not logical approach of PSC members applied by axial force based on the shear deformation in web element. And it was not included that the effect of axial is to shift the shear strain(or crack width) in the web element versus the applied shear curve up or down by the amount by which the biaxial tension-compression state varies. The shear strength also increases or decreases, so that the change in shear strain at service load due to the presence of axial load is to some extent changed. Generally, in corresponding beams the shear strain at service load is less in the beam subject to axial compression and greater in the beam subject to axial tension, than in the beam without axial load. In particular, however, no research were available on the shear deformation in shear of PSC members with web reinforcement, subject to axial force in addition to shear and bending. Therefore, this study was basically performed to develop the program for the calculation of the shear deformation based on the shear effect of axial force in prestressed concrete members.

In this study, shear tests on steel fiber reinforced-prestressed concrete (SFR-PSC) members were conducted with test parameters of the concrete compressive strength, the volume fraction of steel fibers, and the level of effective prestress. The SFR-PSC members showed higher shear strengths and stiffness after diagonal cracking compared to the conventional prestressed concrete (PSC) members without steel fibers. In addition, their shear deformational behavior was measured using the image-based non-contact displacement measurement system, which was then compared to the results of nonlinear finite element analyses (NLFEA). In the NLFEA proposed in this study, a bi-axial tensile behavior model, which can reflect the tensile behavior of the steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) in a simple manner, was introduced into the smeared crack truss model. The NLFEA model proposed in this study provided a good estimation of shear behavior of the SFRPSC members, such as the stiffness, strengths, and failure modes, reflecting the effect of the key influential factors.

일반적으로 콘크리트는 경제성이 뛰어나지만 낮은 인장강도로 인하여 구조성능상의 한계를 가지고 있기 때문에 콘크리트와 결합된 다양한 합성재료의 특성을 활용한 구조부재의 개발이 진행되고 있다. 강섬유 보강 콘크리트(SFRC)는 높은 인장강도로 인하여 콘크리트의 재료적 단점을 보완할 수 있는 우수한 합성재료로서 알려져 있고, 특히 고강도 콘크리트의 화재시 폭렬현상에 대한 대안으로 여겨지고 있다. 또한, 프리스트레스트콘크리트(PSC) 부재는 장경간 구조에 매우 유리하며 일반철근콘크리트(RC) 부재에 비해 높은 전단강도를 가진다. 따라서, 이 연구에서는 SFRC에 프리스트레스를 적용한 강섬유 보강 프리스트레스트 콘크리트(SFR-PSC)부재의 전단거동을 이해하기 위하여 총 22개의 직접전단실험체를 제작하여 실험을 수행하였다. 또한, 실험결과를 바탕으로 SFR-PSC부재의 균열면에서의 균열전달 구성방정식을 제안하였다. SFR-PSC의 거동특성을 반영하여 제안된 재료관계식은 실험결과와 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타났다.
