Two-dimensional tensile stresses are occurring at the back of the anchorage of the tendons of prestressed concrete bridges. A new method named "tensile stress region" for the design of the reinforcement is presented in this paper. The basic idea of this approach is the division of an anchor block into several slices, which are described by the tensile stress region. The orthogonal reinforcing wire mesh can be designed in each slice to resist the tensile stresses. Additionally the sum of the depth of every slice defined by the tensile stress region is used to control the required length of the longitudinal reinforcement bars. An example for the reinforcement design of an anchorage block of an external prestressed concrete bridge is analyzed by means of the new presented method and a finite element model is established to compare the results. Furthermore the influence of the transverse and vertical prestressing on the ordinary reinforcement design is taken into account. The results show that the amount of reinforcement bars at the anchorage block is influenced by the layout of the transverse and the vertical prestressing tendons. Using the "tensile stress region" method, the ordinary reinforcement bars can be designed more precisely compared to the design codes, and arranged according to the stress state in every slice.

Over the past couple decades, externally bonded fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have emerged as a repair and strengthening material for many concrete infrastructure applications. This paper presents an analytical investigation of the use of carbon FRP (CFRP) for a specific problem that occurs in concrete bridge girders wherein the girder ends are damaged by excessive exposure to deicing salts and numerous freezing/thawing cycles. A 3D finite element (FE) model of a full scale prestressed concrete (PC) I-girder is used to investigate the effect of damage to the cover concrete and stirrups in the end region of the girder. Parametric studies are performed using externally bonded CFRP shear laminates to determine the most effective repair schemes for the damaged end region under a short shear span-to-depth ratio. Experimental results on shear pull off tests of CFRP laminates that have undergone accelerated aging are used to calibrate a bond stress-slip model for the interface between the FRP and concrete substrate and approximate the reduced bond stress-slip properties associated with exposure to the environment that causes this type of end region damage. The results of these analyses indicate that this particular application of this material can be effective in recovering the original strength of PC bridge girders with damaged end regions, even after environmental aging.

This paper presents an analytical prediction of Nonlinear characteristics of prestressed concrete bridges by strengthened of externally tendon considering the work sequence, using beam-column element based on flexibility method and tendon element. The beam-column element was developed with reinforced concrete material nonlinearities which are based on the smeared crack concept. The fiber hysteresis rule of beam-column element is derived from the uniaxial constitutive relations of concrete and reinforcing steel fibers. The tendon element represent the bonded tendon and unbonded tendon behaviors. Beam-column element and tendon element was be subroutine A computer program, named RCAHEST (Reinforced Concrete Analysis in Higher Evaluation System Technology), for the analysis of RC and PSC structures was used. The proposed numerical method for prestressed concrete structures by strengthened of externally tendon is verified by comparison with reliable experimental results.

The development of external prestressing methods has been one of the major trends in the concrete bridge constructions over the past decades. One of the promising methods to enhance the flexural strength of a externally prestressed girder is to place the tendons with large eccentricities. The test results in this study showed that the external prestressing of a composite girder increased the range of the elastic behavior, reduced deflections, increased ultimate strength, and added to the redundancy by providing the multiple stress paths. This study was conducted on the concrete bridges reinforced by the continuous girders and the external prestressing.

During the construction of externally prestressed 7-span continuous segmental bridge, cracks beyond permissible limit were found at anchor zone of expansion joint segment. To eliminate this problem, tension side of diaphragm was prestressed by post-tensioning bars in vertical and horizontal direction. To investigate this remedy is acceptable, stresses of reinforcing bars and concrete surface were measured for the real structure in the field. The measurement was performed through each step of prestressing sequence during construction. Also to investigage stresses induced by live load, static load test was performed and the results was analyzed. In this paper it will be presented the procedure and results for this experimental study along with comparison with analytical study.

The development of external prestressing methods has been one of the major trends in the concrete bridge constructions over the past decades. One of the promising methods to enhance the flexural strength of a externally prestressed girder is to place the tendons with large eccentricities. The analysis and design of composite girders prestressed by external tendons involve difficulties related mainly to the position of anchorages and the construction sequences. This study was conducted on the concrete bridges reinforced by the continuous girders and the external prestressing. The test results in this study showed that the external prestressing of a composite girder increased the range of the elastic behavior, reduced deflections, increased ultimate strength, and added to the redundancy by providing the multiple stress paths.

최근, 강합성 구조의 외부 프리스트레스 도입 기법에 대한 응용연구가 왕성하게 수행되고 있다. 이는 역학적 효율성, 시공성 및 경제적 합리성면에서 우수한 강합성 구조에 외부 프리스트레스를 도입하므로써, 여러 가지 구조적 장점을 획득할 수 있기 때문이다. 이 논문에서는 외부 프리스트레스를 강합성 교량의 강주형에 도입할 때, 재료 비선형을 고려한 프리스트레스 합성형의 탄소성영역 휨 거동특성을 해석적으로 검토하기 위한 변형증분법(Incremental Deformation Method, IDM)을 제안하였다. 그리고 이를 실험을 통해 검증하였다.

콘크리트 장기변형이 합성단면과 부재의 경계조건에 의해 내 외부 구속된 구조물에 단계별계산법(SSM)을 적용하 기위해 축-휨 요소가 적용된 객체지향 전산구조해석 프로그램이 개발되었다. 단순 및 연속 지지된 PS 콘크리트 박스 및 합성거더, 연속 강합성거더의 조립식 바닥판, 단순 프리플렉스 합성거더에 대한 SSM의 전산구조해석 결과 구속정도가 클수록 수정계수는 감소하였다. 수정계수의 감소에 대해 선인장의 손실률에는 큰 변화가 없으나, 선압축의 손실률은 급격히 증가하였다. 연속보의 내부지점에서 선압축의 손실률은 더욱 증가하였다. 이는 선인장의 손실에 기초한 설계는 내 외부 구속 정도가 큰 구조물에 대한 선압축의 손실을 과소평가할 수 있음을 보여준다. 전산구조해석을 만족하는 크리프의 수정계수는 0.35~0.95의 값이었으며, 수정 계수는 콘크리트 장기변형의 내 외부 구속의 정도를 나타내는 지표로 사용될 수 있다. 도로교설계기준의 수정계수 0.5는 긴장력이 도입된 강합성단면의 조립식 바닥판에 대해서는 부적절하며, 2007년 도입된 AASHTO LRFD 도로교설계기준(2008)과 한계상태에 대한 도로교설계기준의 긴장력 손실에 적용된 수정계수 0.7과 0.8은 PS 콘크리트 합성거더의 연속화에 대한 손실률을 과소평가한다. 복합구조 합성단면의 수정계수는 0.4 이하의 값이 적절하다.
