This paper provides the results of an experimental investigation into the flexural behavior of continuous two-span unbonded post-tensioned high strength concrete (HSC) beams, strengthened by end-anchored CFRP laminates of different configurations in the hogging region. Implementing two different configurations of end-anchorage systems consisting of steel plates and bolts and carefully monitoring the development of strains throughout the load history using sufficiently large number of strain gauges, the response of beams including the observed crack propagations, beam deflection, modes of failure, capacity enhancement at service and ultimate and the amount of moment redistribution are measured, presented and discussed. The study is appropriate in the sense that it covers the more commonly occurring two span beams instead of the simply supported beams investigated by others. The experiments reconfirmed the finding of others that proper installation of composite strengthening system is most important in the quality of the bond which is essential for the internal transfer of forces. It was also found that for the tested two span continuous beams, the capacity enhancement is more pronounced at the serviceability level than the ultimate. This is an important finding as the design of these beams is mostly governed by the serviceability limit state signifying the appropriateness of the suggested strengthening method. The paper provides quantitative data on the amount of this capacity enhancement.

To investigate the mechanical behavior of the post-tensioned prestressed concrete lining (PPCL), the desilting tunnel of the Xiaolangdi Hydro Project in China is adopted as a case, and a detailed three-dimensional continuum model verified by the observation results is established for the PPCL. The radial stresses, longitudinal stresses, axial forces and bending moments of the PPCL under the completed cable tension condition (CCTC) and design water pressure condition (DWPC) are analyzed, respectively. The numerical results reveal that the PPCL concrete is significantly compressed in the circumferential direction by the prestress, while the prestress has a negligible influence on the radial stresses of the PPCL concrete. It should be noted that the concrete near the anchor slots has a complex and adverse stress state with stress concentration, longitudinal tensioning and large bending moment. In addition, a simplified shell model and a further simplified beam model which can take the influences of the prestress loss and the anchor slot into consideration are proposed for the PPCL. The results of the simplified models are in a good agreement with these of the three-dimensional continuum model, and they can be used as efficient approaches for the structural design and analysis of the PPCL.

A novel post-tensioned self-centering (SC) concrete beam-column connection with web friction devices has been proposed for concrete moment-resisting frames. This paper presents a probabilistic performance evaluation procedure to evaluate the performance of the self-centering concrete frame with the proposed post-tensioned beam-column connections. Two performance limit states, i.e., immediate occupancy (IO) and repairable (RE) limit states, are defined based on peak and residual story drift ratios. Statistical analyses of seismic demands revealed that the dispersion of residual drifts is larger than that of peak drifts. Due to self-centering feature of post-tensioning connections, the SC frame was found to have high probabilities to be recentered under the design basis earthquake (DBE) and maximum considered earthquake (MCE) ground motions. Seismic risk analysis was performed to determine the annual (50-year) probability of exceedance for IO and RE performance limit states, and the results revealed that the design objectives of the SC frame would be met under the proposed performance-based design approach.

In this study, the design of anchorage zone for unbonded post-tensioned concrete beam with single tendons of ultimate strength 2400MPa was evaluated to verify that the KDS 14 20 60(2016) and KHBDC 2010 codes are applicable. The experimental results showed that the bursting force equation of current design codes underestimated bursting stress measured by test, because the KDS 14 20 60(2016) and KHBDC 2010 propose the location of the maximum bursting force 0.5h which is the half of the height of member regardless of stress contribution. Although the allowable bearing force calculated by current design codes was not satisfied the prestressing force, the cracks and failure in anchorage zone was not observed due to the strengthening effect of anchorage zone reinforcement.

A prestressed/precast concrete system was used to build the new Asian Olympic Stadium Project in Pusan, Korea. The stadium(mainly intended for cycle racing) is designed for the 2002 Asian Olympic Games and has a seating capacity of 20,000 spectators plus a few private suites. More than 1300 prestressed/precast components were used and they include single columns, primary beams, cantilever beams, double riser stands, and double tees. Especially, a total of 24 cantilever beams is used on the fourth story for the stands and double tees. These 8m long beams are post-tensioned to prevent cracking, to increase their durability and to serve serviceability by vibration. A cantilever section with cast-in-place topping is 800mm wide and 1500mm deep. Cantilever beams are connected to the column with the corbel by cast-in place concrete. Bonded post-tensioning tendons were assembled at the job site. Dead-end anchorages were installed in the end of cantilever beams and live-end anchorage is the opposite of them. This article presents the geometric layouts, design features and so on.

The stress transmission mechanism in pretensioned concrete beams, though very interesting from an economical point of view, is very complex, integrating various phenomenons such as sliding, bond, bursting. For long the complexity of this mechanism has led engineers to provide a massive rectangular anchorage zone at each end of the beam. The necessity of using such a concrete reinforcement is certainly unquestionable in post-tensioned beams. However in pretensioned elements the stresses induced in concrete in the anchorage zone are smaller than in post-tensioned elements. In this article the stress field in the end zone is calculated numerically and from this analysis the possible reduction of the cross-section of the anchorage block is examined.

본 연구는 도로 상부에 휴식과 통행이 가능한 공간을 조성하여 녹지 및 휴게 공간을 확보하고 각 구역간의 연결성 및 접근성을 높일 수 있는 장 스팬 구조의 처짐의 거동을 해석하는 것을 목표로 한다. 이러한 장 스팬 구조의 경우, 부재의 크기를 결정할 때 도심 미관과 하부의 차량소통을 고려하여야 한다. 그 결과 부재의 크기가 세장해지는 결과를 가져오게 되며 이는 구조물의 과다 처짐을 유발할 수가 있다, 여기에서는 부재의 크기 제한과 구조물의 과다 처짐을 방지하기 위하여 구조물 하부에 언더텐션을 적용한 후, 그 효과와 처짐 거동에 대하여 비교 분석하였다. 언더텐션이란 상부에서의 하중을 하부 케이블의 인장력을 이용하여 그 하중을 양 단부로 전달하는 시스템을 말하며, 케이블의 크기와 개수, 포스트의 개수와 크기 및 간격에 따라서 효과가 다르게 나타날 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 케이블의 크기와 개수, 포스트의 개수와 크기 및 간격을 변수로 하여 장 스팬 구조의 처짐 거동을 비교하였다. 하중은 활하중과 고정하중이 평면에 재하되는 것을 기본으로 가정하였으며, 해석결과는 상용 프로그램인 마이더스(MIDAS)를 이용하여 언더텐션의 효과를 처짐에 맞추어 비교 검토하였다.

In this research, the self-centering effect in precast and prestressed reinforced concrete structures was investigated experimentally. The reinforced concrete beams and columns were precast and connected by post-tensioning tendons passing through the center of the beams as well as the panel zone of the connections. Three beam-to-interior-column connections were constructed to investigate parameters such as beam to column interfaces (steel on steel or plastic on plastic), energy dissipating devices (unbonded buckling restrained steel bars or steel angles) and the spacing of hoops in the panel zone. In addition to the self-centering effect, the shear strength in the panel zone of interior column connections was experimentally and theoretically evaluated, since the panel zone designed by current code provisions may not be conservative enough to resist the panel shear increased by the post-tensioning force.

포스트텐션 경량 콘크리트(LWC) 보 시험체 7개가 상부 대칭 2점 집중 하중 하에서 실험되었다. 주요 변수는 부착 주철근 양 및 유효 프리스트레스 양이다. 경량 콘크리트의 설계강도 및 단위 용적 중량은 각각 30 MPa과 1,770 $kg/m^3$이다. 포스트텐션 보통 중량 콘크리트에서와 같이 균열 진전과 비부착 긴장재의 응력은 부착 철근 및 유효 프리스트레스 양에 의해 영향을 받았다. 부착 철근 및 유효 프리스트레스 양의 증가와 함께 보의 사용성과 휨 내력은 향상되는 반면 비부착 긴장재의 응력은 감소하였다. 포스트텐션 경량 콘크리트 보의 균열 제어를 위해서는 ACI 318-08에서 제시하는 최소 부착 철근이 요구되었다. 포스트텐션 경량 콘크리트 보의 휨 거동 및 비부착 긴장재의 응력 증가는 제시된 비선형 해석 모델에 의해 적절하게 예측될 수 있었다. 반면 ACI 318-08 기준은 포스트텐션 LWC 보의 휨 내력 및 비부착 긴장재의 응력 증가에 대해 지나치게 안전측에 있었다.

록볼트는 지하공동 굴착시 암반의 과도한 이완을 초기에 방지할 수 있는 가장 중요한 터널 지보재 중 하나이다. 국내외에서 록볼트의 설치에 따른 침하저감 및 보강효과, 다양한 록볼트 형태에 따른 터널 안정성 증대효과 등 록볼트 지보효과에 대한 많은 연구는 있으나, 록볼트에 긴장력을 가함으로써 절리암반의 지반보강 효과에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 수평절리암반을 모사한 모형지반에서 록볼트의 긴장력 및 설치간격을 변수로 하여 대형모형실험을 실시하여, 록볼트에 의한 지반 보강효과를 확인하였다. 록볼트의 긴장력에 의한 절리암반 보강효과를 확인하기 위하여 단순보를 조성하여 긴장력과 설치간격을 변수로 하였다. 굴착에 따른 모형지반 중앙하부 처짐량을 측정하여 록볼트로 보강된 보강영역의 지반변형계수를 도출하였다.
