To evaluate the structural integrity of the NPP containment building more rigorously, the effective prestress, which is one of the most affecting elements, needs to be estimated exactly. This paper presents the results of an experimental study to determine the effective prestress force in prestressed concrete beams. It is possible to improve the effective prestress measuring method by test beam, which is being applied for the investigation of the nuclear power plant in operation. If experimentally evaluated Lift-Off method in this study can be coupled with test beam test currently being used in in-service nuclear power plant, it is possible to measure prestress loss of the tendon and the level of the effective prestress load.

In this paper, a design concept of post-tensioned precast bridge piers was proposed to improve seismic behavior of the bridge pier. Mild reinforcing bars are placed continuously along the height of the column. Prestressing tendons are also provided to obtain re-centering capability for seismic events. Arrangement of the axial steels to prevent buckling of rebars at plastic hinge region was suggested and enhanced seismic performance was verified by experiments. Moment-curvature analyses were performed to evaluate the effect of effective prestress on seismic behavior after verifying the calculation method by cyclic tests of the precast columns. A real bridge pier was designed to investigate the seismic performance according to different level of effective prestress. Level of effective prestress showed obvious effect on crushing displacement but negligible effect on lateral displacement at fracture of tendons and reinforcements.

In prestressed concrete structures, determining serviceability and safety it is important to exactly calculate effective prestress force acting on structures. for the determination of effective prestress force, friction loss of the prestressing tendon should be decided exactly, but it is very difficult to measure the exact prestress force on the site and there is no actual field data. Therefore the friction loss coefficient recommended by the specification is not verified. in this paper, the friction loss standard PSC-Beam will be investigated, and is will be found what kind of relationship between the specification and the site. The results from this study can be summarized as follows. For jacking at both ends, actual intial prestress force in the center section of PCS-Beam was about 1.61% larger than theoretical initial prestress force and for hacking at one end, actual initial prestress force was approximate 4.9% lower than theoretical initial prestress force. Thus, for the exact calculation of friction loss, friction coefficient should be modified according to jacking methods.

국내 가동 중 일부 원전의 원자로건물에 부착식 텐던이 설치되어 있고, 부착식 텐던에 대한 유효 긴장력 평가는 이들 원전의 계속운전을 위한 주요 현안으로 부각되고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 System Identification 기법을 이용한 부착식 텐던의 유효 긴장력 평가를 위하여, SI 기법에 유효한 주요 매개변수의 영향 평가를 수행하고 최적의 매개변수를 도출하였다. 본 연구를 위하여, 원자로건물 벽체의 1/5 축소모형 시험체를 제작하였고, 유효 긴장력과 고유진동수 및 변위와의 상관성을 분석하기 위하여 Impact test, SIMO sine sweep test 및 광섬유센서와 변위계에 의한 휨시험을 수행하였다. 시험결과, 고유진동수와 변위 모두 유효 긴장력과 좋은 상관성을 지니는 것으로 나타나, 이들 매개변수 모두 SI 기법의 입력자료로 활용되어 부착식 텐던의 유효 긴장력 예측이 가능한 것으로 분석되었다.

This study is the developed prediction of residual effective prestress force of prestressed concrete beam bridges. Developed prediction method is based on the center camber of prestressed concrete beam, structural design. report of various PSC beams, construction reference materials of PSC beams. Evaluation of residual effective prestress force by developed method is compared with evaluation by structural design. This comparison results shows that this developed method is very effective method. Therefore prediction of residual effective prestress force by this developed method will be used for evaluation of the rating of various PSC beam bridges(road bridges and railway bridges).

Nowadays, many of PSC bridges has constructed because high performance and long span bridge is required. Therefore, it is required that the evaluation of PSC bridges which retain various structure performance. In this study, nonlinear FEM analysis was performed with two parameter, concrete compressive strength and effective prestress force which is dominant factor for evaluating structural behavior of PSC bridge. Concrete compressive strength was adapted between 30Mpa and 100Mpa and effective prestress force was used the value which is considered effective rate for time-dependant effect. In the result of this study, it was showed that concrete compressive strength and effective prestress force is important factor for evaluating structural behavior of PSC bridge.

Serviceability resign is required to control the cracking at the joint of precast decks having longitudinal prestress in continuous composite bridges. Especially, details of twin girder bridges are complex not only due to main reinforcements and transverse prestress for the resign of long-span concrete slabs but also due to shear pockets for obtaining the composite action. This paper suggests the design guidelines for the magnitude of the effective prestress and for the selection of filling materials and their requirements in order to use precast decks for twin-girder continuous composite bridges. The necessary initial prestress was also evaluated through the long-term behavior analysis. From the analysis, existing design examples were revised and their effectiveness was estimated. When a filling material having bonding strength higher than the requirement is used in the region of high negative moment, uniform configuration of longitudinal prestressing steels along the whole span length of continuous composite bridges can be achieved resulting in simplification of details and enhancement of the construction costs.

A specially designed tendon, which is proposed by embedding an FBG sensor into the center king cable of a 7-wire strand tendon, was applied to monitor the prestress force and load transfer of ground anchor. A series of tensile tests and a model pullout test were performed to verify the feasibility of the proposed smart tendon as a measuring sensor of tension force and load transfer along the tendon. The smart tendon has proven to be very effective for monitoring prestress force and load transfer by measuring the strain change of the tendon at the free part and the fixed part of ground anchor, respectively. Two 11.5 m long proto-type ground anchors were made simply by replacing a tendon with the proposed smart tendon and prestress forces of each anchor were monitored during the loading-unloading step using both FBG sensor embedded in the smart tendon and the conventional load cell. By comparing the prestress forces measured by the smart tendon and load cell, it was found that the prestress force monitored from the FBG sensor located at the free part is comparable to that measured from the conventional load cell. Furthermore, the load transfer of prestressing force at the tendon-grout interface was clearly measured from the FBGs distributed along the fixed part. From these pullout tests, the proposed smart tendon is not only expected to be an alternative monitoring tool for measuring prestress force from the introducing stage to the long-term period for health monitoring of the ground anchor but also can be used to improve design practice through determining the economic fixed length by practically measuring the load transfer depth.

연속 강합성 교량에 종방향 프리스트레스를 도입해야 하는 프리캐스트 바닥판을 적용하기 위해서는 균열제어를 위한 사용성 설계가 이루어져야 한다. 특히, 2거더 교량의 경우에는 장지간 바닥판의 설계에서 요구되는 주철근 및 횡방향 프리스트레스와 합성설계를 위해 요구되는 전단포켓의 존재로 인해서 상세가 복잡해지게 된다. 이 논문에서는 2거더 연속강합성 교량의 프리캐스트 바닥판 채용을 위해서 필요한 유효 프리스트레스 크기의 산정과 상세의 단순화를 이루기 위해서 부착강도를 인정할 수 있는 채움재료의 선정 및 그 기준을 제시하였다. 또한, 장기거동에 대한 평가 방안을 제시하고 그 결과로부터 초기 프리스트레스의 크기 결정을 수행하여 기존의 설계의 개선 정도를 평가하였다. 일정 수준이상의 부착강도를 갖는 채움재료를 부모멘트가 크게 발생하는 영역에 사용하면 연속 강합성 교량의 전구간에 걸쳐서 일정한 종방향 프리스트레스 도입이 가능하고 이로 인해 상세의 단순화 및 경제성을 높일 수 있다.
