Prestressed concrete girder(PSC girder) bridges have been used widely at the railway as well as highway because they are great in the functional and economical efficiency. Also they have the advantage of convenience of design and construction. However it could be easily verified that the section of PSC girder is excessive design, which has much redundancy against design loads. Thus, in this paper the formulation of the optimum design for PSC girder railway bridge is suggested and dominant design variables and constraints are inquired as performing the optimum design. In order to effective optimum design, design variables are formulated as PSC girder sectional dimension and girder space. The objective is adopted as total cost of PSC girder railway bridge. Also, constraints are formulated according to Korean railway design specification and considering construction-ability such as PS anchorage and girder space. Using the proposed optimum design system, optimum PSC girder railway bridge design has been performed. And from the results of analysis it is suggested to denote the optimum section which satisfies the structural safety and economical efficiency all together.

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.

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.

In this paper, a hybrid vibration-impedance-based damage monitoring approach is experimentally evaluated for prestressed concrete (PSC) structures with local strand breakage. Firstly, the hybrid monitoring scheme is designed to alert damage occurrence from changes in vibration characteristics and to localize strand breakage from changes in impedance signatures. Secondly, a full-scale PSC anchorage is experimented to measure global vibration responses and local impedance responses under a sequence of simulated strand-breakage events. Finally, the measured data are analyzed using the hybrid monitoring framework. The change of structural condition (i.e., damage extent) induced by the local strand breakage is estimated by changes in a few natural frequencies obtained from a few accelerometers in the structure. The damaged strand is locally identified by tomography analysis of impedance features measured via an array of PZT (lead-zirconate-titanate) sensors mounted on the anchorage. Experimental results demonstrate that the strand breakage in the PSC structure can be accurately assessed by using the combined vibration and impedance features.

The objective of this study is to develop the practical program which can check the constructible possibility of prestressed concrete box girder bridges for design. Checking constructible possibility is defined as checking the interference of each elements in a PSC box girder bridge and computing the distances of each elements. To check the constructible possibility of a PSC box girder bride, bridge must be modelled using solid in three dimension. By using a 3 dimensional solid modeling system, engineers can get the photo realistic 3D viewing images of the bridge and produce FEM analytic model of it. Users can manipulate their drawings easier and take off quantity of the whole structure and its elements as well as check the constructible possibility of their PSC box girder bridges.

This paper presents an analytical prediction of nonlinear characteristics and behavior characteristics PSC structures with un-bonded tendon system. In this paper, a numerical model for un-bonded tendon is proposed based on the finite element method, which can represent straight or curved un-bonded tendon behavior. this model and time-dependent material model used to investigate the time-dependent behavior of un-bonded prestressed concrete structures. The accuracy and objectivity of the assessment process may be enhanced by the use of sophisticated nonlinear finite element analysis program. A computer program, named RCAHEST(Reinforced Concrete Analysis in Higher Evaluation System Technology), for the analysis of concrete structures and steel plate was used. The material nonlinearities are taken into account by comprising the tension, compression, and shear models of cracked concrete and models for reinforcements and tendons in the concrete. The smeared crack approach is incorporated. It accounts for the aging, creep and shrinkage of concrete and the stress relaxation of prestressed steel. The proposed un-bonded tendon model and numerical method of un-bonded prestressed concrete structures is verified by comparison with reliable experimental results.

PSC 구조물에 폭발과 같은 극한하중이 짧은 시간 동안 발생하게 되면 급작스러운 파괴와 그로 인한 수많은 인명 및 재산피해를 발생시킨다. 하지만 원전격납구조물, 가스탱크와 같은 PSC 구조물의 경우 방호 및 방재개념이 포함된 구조설계가 적용되지 않은 실정이며, 특히, 구조물 내부에서 발생하는 폭발압력하중은 피해규모가 외부폭발에 비해 훨씬 크기 때문에 내부폭발하중에 대한 검증은 반드시 필요하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 원전격납구조물의 내부폭발에 대한 저항성능을 검토하기 위해 이방향 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 축소모형을 제작하였다. 내부폭발 실험은 22.68, 27.22, 31.75 kg (50, 60, 70 lbs)의 ANFO 폭약을 이용하여 시편으로부터 1,000 mm의 거리에서 폭발시켰으며, 압력하중, 처짐, 변형률, 균열형상, 긴장력 변화 등의 데이터를 분석하였다. 본 연구결과를 이용하여 원전격납구조물의 내부폭발하중 발생 시 손상도 범위 예측이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

이 논문에는 PS강연선이 부식된 PSC보부재의 극한휨거동을 평가하기 위해 수행한 실험연구를 수록하였다. 프리스트레스 감소와 PS강연선의 단면적 감소가 PSC보의 휨강도에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해 5개의 PSC보부재를 이용하여 정적하중 재하실험을 수행하였다. 두 개의 PSC보부재는 드릴을 이용해 덕트 내부에 있는 PS강연선 표면을 노출시킨 후 부식촉진장치를 이용해 인위적으로 PS강선들을 부식시켰다. 실험부재의 파괴시까지 정적하중을 재하하면서 철근과 콘크리트의 변형률, 그리고 중앙부의 처짐량 변화를 측정하였으며 또한 음향센서를 콘크리트표면에 부착하여 부식된 PS강선의 파단을 모니터링하였다. 실험결과를 토대로 PS강선이 부식된 PSC보부재의 휨강도 평가방법을 분석하였다. 또한, 사용하중 작용시 후긴장된 PSC보부재 내부의 PS강연선의 부식 여부를 조기 예측할 수 있는 방법을 고찰하였다.

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.
