Cable supported structures offer an elegant and economical solution for bridging over long spans with resultant low material content and ease of construction. In this paper, a model of shallow cable supported footbridge with reverse profiled pre-tensioned cables is treated and its load deformation characteristics under different quasi-static loads are investigated. Effects of important parameters such as cable sag and pre-tension are also studied. Numerical results performed on a 3D model show that structural stiffness of this bridge (model) depends not only on the cable sag and cross sectional areas of the cables, but also on the pre-tension in the reverse profiled cables. The tension in the top supporting cables can be adjusted to a high level by the pre-tension in the reverse profiled bottom cables, with the total horizontal force in the bridge structure remaining reasonably constant. It is also evident that pre-tensioned horizontally profiled cables can greatly increase the lateral horizontal stiffness and suppress the lateral horizontal deflection induced by eccentric vertical loads.

It is clinically well known that pre-tension of wires increases the fracture stability in ring or hybrid external fixation. In some cases, additional half pin should be necessary to increase the stability when soft tissue impalement occurs during fixation. In this paper, the fracture stability of a hybrid external fixator system with different pre-tension effects and additional half-pins was analysed using FEM to investigate the effects of these pre-tension and half pin on the system stability quantitatively. 3-D finite element models of five different fixator frames were developed using by beam elements. In axial compression analysis, the fracture stiffness was increased maximally 62％ as the pre-tension increased. In torsion analysis, in the other hand, there is little variations in the fracture stiffness. Additional half pin increased the system stiffness about 200 ％. From the results, proper pre-tension and additional half pin would provide good methods to increase the fracture stability of the hybrid external fixator and provide more surgical options to minimize soft tissue damage at the fracture site.

For each cable component in a cable dome structure, pre-tension is needed for stability of whole the structure. The summation of these pre-tension at each joint should be zero to achieve the self equilibrium structure. The first step in cable dome structure analysis is to find the ratio of pre-tension in each member which can produce a stable and structure on self-equilibrium. In this paper, a new method based on the basic principle of closed force polygon for equilibrium system is proposed for the determination of self-equilibrium mode of cable dome structure. A single layer cable dome and two multi layer type domes have been analyzed. The ratios of cable members are determined by the presented method, and check the validation of the results by numerical calculation.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quantitative data of downward pulling tension in subjects with scapular downward rotation syndrome (SDRS) before and after 6-week self scapular upward rotation exercise (SURE) program. Eleven subjects with bilateral SDRS. The downward pulling tension(DPT) was measured digital tension-meter. The tension force data were collected using a surface electromyography before and after a 6-week self-scapular SURE program. The significance of difference between pre- and post-program was assessed using a paired t-test, with the level of significance set at ${\alpha}$=.05. The results showed that significant differences between pre- and post-SURE program were found for DPT (p<.05). These findings suggest that 6-week self SURE program is effective for reducing DPT in subjects with SDRS. Additionally, our DPT measurement can be useful for maintaining shoulder position and providing quantitative data between pre- and post-SURE program during passive correction of scapular position test.

기존 프리텐션 방식은 긴장작업시에 필요한 작업대로 인해 공간적인 제약사항이 있었다. 그러나 작업대를 프리캐스트화 함으로써 공장이 아닌 현장에서 프리텐션 작업이 가능하게 되어 공정이 단순하고, 긴장력 손실이 적으며, 정착장치가 불필요한 프리텐션의 장점을 효율적으로 활용할 수 있게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 프리캐스트 콘크리트 제작대를 이용한 프리텐션 거더 제작공법의 내용과 적용사례를 소개하고자 한다.

국내에서는 I형 거더의 장경간화를 위한 수단으로써 U형 거더 개발을 시도하였으나, 포스트텐션 긴장방식에 따라 큰 자중으로 인하여 30 m이하 철도교 적용 사례가 대표적이며, 도로교는 시공 편의성과 보급성 논리에 따라 U형 거더의 적용 사례는 많지 않다. 본 연구는 이러한 포스트텐션 방식에 제한을 두지 않고 프리텐션 방식을 적용하여 단면 감소에 따른 자중 감소와 사용재료 절감을 유도하고자 한다. 또한, U형 거더 내부 반력대를 이용한 현장 프리텐션 긴장방법을 적용하고자 한다. 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 U형 단면 거더 교량은 콘크리트 바닥판 슬래브와 합성단면으로 구성된다. 단면이 폐합되어 개방형 단면인 PSC I형 대비 저항 강성 등의 구조적 성능향상과 제작 및 가설 단계에서 시공의 안전성 증대, 그리고 자중 경감에 기인하는 형고비 감소와 교량의 미적 경관성 확보가 가능하여 매우 효율적이고 경제적인 교량이다. 이로 인하여 고품질의 공장제작 부재와 현장에서 일체 타설로 효율적인 시공이 가능할 것으로 기대된다. 본 논문에서는 프리텐션 현장 긴장 방식 소개 및 긴장을 위한 정착블럭의 해석적 성능 검증에 대한 내용을 수록하였다.

The effects of pre-indentation technique are presented for A12024-T3 Alclad alloy using as skin material for aircraft fuselage and wing. Indentations were applied to specimens to be placed on the presumed path of fatigue crack growth before fatigue tests. Tension-tension fatigue tests were conducted on the edge cracked specimens in the L-T orientation. Test results were analyzed to investigate the effectiveness of pre-indentation with the variation of specimen's thickness, position of indentation and applied maximum stress. Fatigue crack retardation by pre-indentation is well recognized in the various conditions.

본 논문은 경부 고속선과 같이 사전이도가 주어지는 기설 전차선로에서 전차선 장력만을 증가시켜 임시적인 속도 향상 도모하는 경우에 팬터그래프와 습동하는 전차선의 접촉 평면상의 기하학적 형상의 변화가 어떻게 될 것인가를 검토한 것이다. 검토를 위하여 우선 사전이도가 있는 경우에도 정확히 드로퍼 길이를 계산해 낼 수 있는 드로퍼 길이 계산 수식에 대하여 알아보았다. 다음으로 드로퍼 길이 계산 수식을 프로그램화한 전용계산 프로그램을 이용하여 경부고속선 전차선로의 49.5m 경간을 대상으로 전차선 장력을 20kN에서 23kN 및 25kN으로 증가시켰을 때 사전이도량의 변화를 계산하여보았다. 그리고 경부 2단계 구간 현장에서 실제 장력 증가 실험을 실시하여 사전이도량의 변화를 측정하였다. 측정 결과는 계산 값과 비교 검토를 수행하였으며, 결론적으로 전차선 장력을 증가시켜도 기하학적 형상의 변화는 미미하며 집전 성능에 별 영향이 없을 것임을 확인하였다.

For the improvement of a train speed in the conventional line from overhead system point of view, it is necessary to approach not only in the aspect of the increasement of tension for catenary but the application of a pre-sag. A certain tension acting on a dropper is removed when it is slack by the pantograph passing. Right after the pantograph passes, the dynamic force caused by the mass of contact wire acts on the dropper. If the pre-sag is applied to the catenary, the static force on the dropper is increased. For the assurance of the safety for the dropper, it is necessary to predict the dynamic force. The purpose of this study is to predict and analyze the force on the dropper according to the applied pre-sag.

The prestressed concrete (PSC) technology that was first developed by Freyssinet has significantly improved over the past century in terms of materials and structural design in order to build longer, slender, and more economic structures. The application of prestressing method in structures, which is determined by the pre-tension or post-tension processes, is also affected by the surrounding conditions such as the construction site, workforce skills, and local transportation regulations. This study proposes a prestressed concrete girder design based on a hybrid segment concept. The adopted approach combines both pre-tension and post-tension methods along a simple span bridge girder. The girder was designed using newly developed 2400 MPa PS strands and 60 MPa high-strength concrete. The new concept and high strength materials allowed longer span, lower girder depth, less materials, and slender design without affecting the lateral stability of the girder. In order to validate the applicability of the proposed hybrid prestressed segments girder, a full-scale 35 m girder was fabricated, and experimental tests were performed under various fatigue and static loading conditions. The experimental results confirmed the feasibility of the proposed long-span girder as its performance meets the railway girder standards. In addition, the comparison between the measured load-displacement curve and the simulation results indicate that simulation analysis can predict the behavior of hybrid segments girders.
