Nowadays, strengthening of buildings is an inclusive and effective field in civil engineering that is not only applicable to the buildings but also it can be developed for the bridges. Rehabilitation and strengthening of structures are highly recommended for the existing structures due to the alter in codes and provisions as well as buildings' use change. Extensive surveys have been conducted in this field in the world that propose wide variety of methods for strengthening of structures. In recent years, more specific researches have been carried out that present novel materials for rehabilitation beside proposing methods and performing techniques. In the current study, a novel technique for developing the bending capacity of reinforced concrete beams to enhance their performance as well as rehabilitating and reforming the performance of reinforced concrete beams with nonstandard lap splices, has been proposed. In this method, a post-tensioned concrete layer is added to the side face of the concrete beams built in 1:1 scale. Results reveals that addition of the post-tensioned layer enhances the beams' performance and covers their weaknesses. In this method, 18 reinforced concrete beams were prepared for the bending test which were subjected to the four-point pushover test after they were reinforced. The testing process ended when the samples reached complete failure status. Results show that the performance and flexural capacity of reinforced beams without lap splice is improved 22.7% compared to the samples without the post-tensioned layer, while it is enhanced up to at least 80% compared to the reinforced beams with nonstandard lap splice. Furthermore, the location of plastic hinges formation was transformed from the beam's mid-span to the 1/3 of span's end and the beam's cracking pattern was significantly improved.

To improve the noise and vibration problems of the existing public parking systems, new floor system was proposed. This system consists of the Sandwich Plate System(SPS), steel beam and post-tensioned steel tendons. To verify the dynamic characteristics such as the natural frequency and damping ratio of the system, the free vibration test was performed. Test results showed that the natural frequency of the SPS composite beam was 23.8Hz and it was increased by 3.8% by installing the post-tensioned tendons. The damping ratio of the specimen with tendons was about 1.64%.

The objective of the present study is to examine the flexural behavior of two-span post-tensioned lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) beams using unbonded tendons and the reliability of the design provisions of ACI 318-14 for such beams. The parameters investigated were the effective prestress and loading type, including the symmetrical top one-point, two third-point, and analogous uniform loading systems. The unbonded prestressing three-wire strands were arranged with a harped profile of variable eccentricity. The total length of the beam, measured between both strand anchorages, was 11000 mm. The test results were compared with those compiled from simply supported LWAC one-way members, wherever possible. The ultimate load capacity of the present beam specimens was evaluated by the collapse mechanism of the plasticity theorem and the nominal section moment strength calculated following the provision of the ACI 318-14. The test results showed that the two-span post-tensioned LWAC beams had lower stress increase (Δf_ps) in the unbonded tendons than the simply supported LWAC beams with a similar reinforcement index. The effect of the loading type on Δf_ps and displacement ductility was less significant for two-span beams than for the comparable simply supported beams. The design equations for Δf_ps and Δf_ps proposed by ACI 318-14 and Harajli are conservative for the present two-span post-tensioned LWAC beams, although the safety decreases for the two-span beam, compared to the ratios between experiments and predictions obtained from simply supported beams.

포스트텐션된 슬래브 교량은 특별직교이방성 복합적층판 이론으로 해석할 수 있다. 슬래브 교량의 해석에 있어 단면의 기하학적, 물리적 특성이 중립축을 중심으로 휨-연계 강성 $B_{ij}=0$ 이고, $D_{16}=D_{26}=0$ 임을 고려해야 한다. 각각의 횡방향철근과 수직방향철근은 하나의 lamina로 간주하고, 재료상수는 각각의 lamina의 혼합법칙에 의해서 계산되어진다. 단순지지된 슬래브 교량은 등분포하중과 축하중을 받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 유한차분법과 보 이론에 의해서 해석하였다. 그 결과 보 이론에 의한 해석 값이 판 이론에 의한 해석 값에 근접함을 알 수 있었다. 본 논문에서 얻은 연구 결과를 이용하여 가까운 장래에 학부정도의 실력을 가진 기술자가 포스트텐션된 슬래브 교량의 해석에 있어서 유용하게 사용 할 수 있다.

This paper shows the test results of continuous reinforced concrete beams with external post-tensioning rods. Six three-span beams were prepared and tested to fail. Three beams were designed to have flexure-dominating behavior and the others to have shear-critical behavior. In each group, one beam without external post-tensioning rods was designated as a control beam and two beams had the external post-tensioning rods of 18 mm or 22 mm diameter. External post-tensioning rods were installed within an interior span of 6000 mm. They show V-shaped configuration because two anchorages were located at the top of interior supports and a saddle pin at mid-span was installed at the bottom of the beam. Test results show that the load and shear capacities of strengthened beams were increased when compared with the control beam. Additionally, the measured shear strength was compared with the strength predicted by ACI 318-11 code equations. The detailed ACI 318-11 equation predicted the measured shear strength and failure location of the continuous beam reasonably well.

PPS(post-tensioned precast concrete system)공법은 U자형 PC로 제작한 넓은 보와 PC 또는 현장 타설 콘크리트로 제작한 기둥으로 구성되며 PC 보와 기둥의 일체성 확보를 위하여 프리스트레스를 도입하였다. 본 연구는 PPS 공법 개발의 일부로 넓은 보의 기둥 폭 내부에 정착되어진 휨철근의 양에 따른 거동특성을 분석하고자 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 실험체는 기둥 폭내, 외부에 위치한 휭 철근의 양을 달리한 정착비와 동일한 정착비내에서 철근과 긴장재의 양을 주요변수로 하여 대상건물의 내부접합부를 대상으로 1/2크기로 제작하였다. 그 결과 NEHRP 권고사항에서 규정한 한계변위각 0.035까지 내력저하 없이 충분한 내력을 보유하였으며, 보의 휨 파괴가 주요 파괴모드로 접합부에서 전단파괴는 일어나지 않았다. 그리고 넓은 보에 포스트텐션을 도입한 PPS 공법은 기둥 폭 내부의 정착비가 $35\%$인 경우 다소 높은 비틀림 응력을 나타내었으나, 기둥 폭 외부에 위치한 인장철근의 항복 이후 긴장재가 응력을 충분히 발휘함으로서 일체식 구조의 넓은 보-기둥 접합부와 달리 비탄성 이력거동을 통하여 에너지를 효과적으로 소산하였다. 또한 ACI의 proposed provisional standard의 PC 접합부 구조성능 평가지침에 의해 분석한 결과, 모든 실험체에서 허용기준을 모두 만족하고 있으며, 강도의 큰 저하 없이 연성적인 거동을 하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

This paper presents the shear strengthening effect of externally post-tensioning (EPT) method using high-strength steel rod in pre-cracked reinforced concrete (RC) beams. Three- and four-point bending tests were performed on a total of 8 specimens by adjusting the strengthening depths in the deviator position of EPT. The effective strengthening depths were 435, 535, and 610 mm. The pre-loading up to about 2/3 of ultimate load capacity measured in unstrengthened RC beam were applied in the beam to be post-tensioned. The EPT method was then applied to the pre-damaged RC beams and re-loading was added until the end of the test. EPT restored deflections of 3 mm or more, which account for about 40% of deflection when the pre-loading was applied. The shear strengthening increases more than 3 times and 36~107% in terms of the stiffness and load-carrying capacity compared to unstrengthening RC beams. The increased load-carrying capacities of the post-tensioned beam with strengthening depths of 435 and 535 mm are almost the same as 36~61%, and those of 610 mm are 84~107%, which shows the greatest shear strengthening effect.

본 논문에서는 포스트텐션된 철근콘크리트 슬래브를 특별직교이방성 복합적층판 이론으로 해석하였다. 슬래브의 해석에 있어 단면의 기하학적, 물리적 특성이 중립면에서 휨-연계강성 $B_{ij}=0$ 이고, $D_{16}=D_{26}=0$ 임을 고려하였다. 철근콘크리트 슬래브는 특별직교이방성판으로 거동한다. 이러한 경계조건을 갖는 단면 혹은 불규칙한 단면을 갖는 시스템은 해석적 해를 구하기가 매우 어렵다. 이러한 문제에 대한 해석을 위해서 유한차분법이 이용되었다. 본 논문에서는 유한차분법과 보 이론을 해석을 위해 사용되었다. 그 결과 보 이론에 의한 해석 값이 판 이론의 값에 근접함을 알 수 있었다.
