The joints of the new prefabricated concrete assemble beam-column joints are put together by the hybrid joints of inserting steel under post-tensioned and non-prestressed force and both beams and columns adopt prefabricated components. The low cyclic loading test has been performed on seven test specimens of beam-column joints. Based on the experimental result, the rotation capacity of the joints is studied and the $M-{\theta}$ relation curve is obtained. According to Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures and based on the initial rotational stiffness, the joints are divided into three types; by equivalent bending-resistant stiffness to the precast beam, the equivalent modulus of elasticity $E_e$ is elicited with the superposition method; the beam length is figured out that satisfies the rigid joints and after meeting the requirements of application and safety, the new prefabricated concrete assemble beam-column joints can be regarded as the rigid joints; the design formula adopted by the standard of concrete joint classification is theoretically derived, thereby providing a theoretical basis for the new prefabricated concrete structure.

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.

This study presents experimental and numerical results of prestressed concrete composite beams with different casting and stressing sequence. The beams were tested under three-point bending and it was found that prestressed concrete composite beams could not achieve monolith behavior due to interface slippage between two layers. The initial stress distribution due to different construction sequence has little effect on the maximum load of composite beams. The multi-step FE analyses could simulate different casting and stressing sequence thus correctly capturing the initial stress distribution induced by staged construction. Three contact algorithms were considered for interaction between concrete layers in the FE models namely tie constraint, cohesive contact and surface-to-surface contact. It was found that both cohesive contact and surface-to-surface contact could simulate the interface slip even though each algorithm considers different shear transfer mechanism. The use of surface-to-surface contact for beams with more than 2 layers of concrete is not recommended as it underestimates the maximum load in this study.

본 연구는 프리스트레스가 도입된 접속슬래브(Single-PTAS: Single Post-Tensioned Approach Slab)의 긴장력 도입에 따른 거동과 환경하중에 대한 거동을 분석하기 위하여 시험시공 현장에서 실험을 통해 수행되었다. 실험을 위해 온도측정센서를 슬래브의 깊이에 따라 장착하였으며, 변위측정게이지를 슬래브의 여러 위치에 설치하여 환경하중 및 긴장력 도입에 따른 슬래브의 변위 변화를 3차원적으로 측정하였다. 실험결과 접속슬래브는 길이가 짧아 긴장력 도입에 의한 급격한 종방향 변위 변화는 관찰되지 않았다. 접속슬래브의 깊이별 일일 온도변화는 깊이가 약 35cm보다 깊을 경우에는 거의 발생하지 않았으며, 수직온도구배는 접속슬래브의 두께가 큰 교대부근에서는 포장과 인접하는 부근에서 보다 작아졌다. 컬링 시 수직변위의 변화 양상 및 크기는 측정 지점의 수직온도구배와 직접적으로 관계가 있었다. Single-PTAS의 거동을 분석한 결과 콘크리트 포장 슬래브와 매우 유사한 거동을 보였으며, 따라서 차륜하중만을 고려하여 단순보로 설계하고 있는 접속슬래브에 포장체의 개념을 도입한 설계방안의 정립이 필요한 것으로 판단되었다.

The shear strength is an important factor in the design of prestressed concrete beams. Therefore, researchers have utilized various methods to determine the shear strength of these elements for the design purposes. To evaluate some of the proposed theoretical methods, numerous models of post-tensioned beams with or without vertical prestressing are selected and analyzed using the finite element method and assuming nonlinear behavior for the materials. In this regard the validity of modeling is evaluated based on some tests results. In the second part of the study two beam specimens are built and tested and their load-deformation curve and cracking pattern are studied. The analytical results consist of compressive strut slope and mid span load deflection are compared with some experimental results, and the results of some codes' formulas. Finally comparing the results of nonlinear analysis with the experimental values, a new formula is proposed for determining strut slopes in prestressed concrete beams.

This paper presents an experimental and numerical study to investigate the behavior of the precast segmental concrete beams (PSCBs) utilizing high-strength concrete (HSC) connected in the zone of the maximum bending moment using steel extended endplate connections (EECs). The experimental study consisted of five beams as follows: The first beam was the control beam for comparison, which was an unconnected one-piece beam made of HSC. The other four other beams consisted of two identical pieces of precast concrete. An important point to be noted is that at the end of each piece, a steel plate was used with a thickness of 10 mm. Moreover, this steel plate was welded to the lower and upper reinforcing bars of the beam. Furthermore, the steel plate was made to connect the two pieces using the technique of EECs. Several variables were taken in these four beams, whether from the shape of the connection or enhancing the behavior of the connection using the post-tensioning technique. EECs without stiffeners were used for some of the tested beams. The behavior of these connections was improved using stiffeners and shear bolts. To get accurate results, a comparison was made between the behaviors of the five beams. Another important point to be noted is that Abaqus and SAP2000 programs were used to investigate the behavior of PSCBs and to ensure the accuracy of the modeling process which showed a good agreement with the experimental results. Additionally, the simplified modeling using SAP2000 was able to model the nonlinear behavior of PSCBs connected using steel EECs. It was found that the steel pre-tensioned bolted EECs, reinforced with steel stiffeners and shear anchors, could be used to connect the precast HSC segmental beams via the internal pre-stressing technique.

지진에 의한 사회기반 구조물의 손상은 대형참사를 유발할 가능성이 크므로, 적절한 내진성능평가가 이루어져야한다. 특히 지진하중 하에서 구조물의 거동은 상부 하중을 지탱하는 기둥의 거동에 지배되므로 기둥에 대한 해석 및 실험을 통한 내진성능평가는 가장 핵심적인 요소이다. 현재 내진성능평가 실험의 일환으로 준정적실험, 유사동적실험, 진동대실험 등이 대표적으로 수행되고 있으며 이러한 실험을 수행 시 시험체의 크기, 실험장비 성능의 한계, 경제적인 이유 등으로 원형 구조물을 대신하여 축소모형을 통해 실험을 수행하고 있다. 이러한 축소모형실험을 위해서는 적절한 상사법칙을 적용해야 하는데, 현재 일반적으로 적용되고 있는 상사법칙은 탄성범위 내에서 유도가 되어 있기 때문에 지진하중하 구조물의 비탄성 거동을 예측하는데 무리가 있다. 또한 마이크로콘크리트를 사용한 축소모형에 대해서는 필연적으로 재료특성에 있어서 원형재료와 축소모형재료 사이에 왜곡이 발생하여 결과의 신뢰성에 영향을 주게된다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 재료의 왜곡과 비탄성 거동을 고려하여 새로운 상사법칙을 제시하였다.

본 연구는 강선 부식이 PSC보 휨강도에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 실내실험을 수행하였다. 긴장력을 달리하여 길이 4m인 PSC보부재 5개를 제작하였으며, 그 중 2개의 부재는 덕트 내부에 있는 PS강재를 노출시킨 상태에서 부식촉진장치를 이용해 인위적으로 PS강재를 부식시켰다. 실험부재의 파괴시까지 정적하중을 재하하면서 철근과 콘크리트의 변형률, 중앙부의 처짐량 변화를 측정하였으며 또한 음향센서를 콘크리트 표면에 부착하여 PS강선의 파단횟수 및 파단시기 등을 계측하였다. 실험 결과, PS강재가 부식된 부재는 PS강재의 단면 감소를 고려해 계산한 휨강도 이론값보다 작은 실험값이 나왔다. 또한 휨 파괴 이전에 PS강재가 조기에 파단되는 현상이 관찰되었으며, 결과적으로 휨강도가 급격히 감소됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 부식된 PS강재를 포함하고 있는 PSC보의 휨강도 평가시 일방향 육안관찰에 의한 PS강재의 단면적을 산정하는 것은 매우 어려운 일이며, 연성거동을 위한 유효 PS강재의 단면적을 판단하는 것은 매우 복잡한 일이라 판단된다.

Multi-Axial Testing System (MATS) is a 6-DOF loading system located at National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering (NCREE) in Taiwan for advanced seismic testing of structural components or sub-assemblages. MATS was designed and constructed for a large variety of structural testing, especially for the specimens that require to be subjected to vertical and longitudinal loading simultaneously, such as reinforced concrete columns and lead rubber bearings. Functionally, MATS consists of a high strength self-reacting frame, a rigid platen, and a large number of servo-hydraulic actuators. The high strength self-reacting frame is composed of two post-tensioned A-shape reinforced concrete frames interconnected by a steel-and-concrete composite cross beam and a reinforced concrete reacting base. The specimen can be anchored between the top cross beam and the bottom rigid platen within a 5-meter high and 3.25-meter wide clear space. In addition to the longitudinal horizontal actuators that can be installed for various configurations, a total number of 13 servo-hydraulic actuators are connected to the rigid platen. Degree-of-freedom control of the rigid platen can be achieved by driving these actuators commanded by a digital controller. The specification and information of MATS in detail are described in this paper, providing the users with a technical point of view on the design, application, and limitation of MATS. Finally, future potential application employing advanced experimental technology is also presented in this paper.

The inclusion of a ductile steel bracing as means of repairing an earthquake-damaged bridge bent is evaluated and experimentally assessed for the purposes of restoring the damaged bent's strength and stiffness and further improving the energy dissipation capacity. The study is focused on substandard reinforced concrete multi-column bridge bents constructed in the 1950 to mid-1970 in the United States. These types of bents have numerous deficiencies making them susceptible to seismic damage. Large-scale experiments were used on a two-column reinforced concrete bent to impose considerable damage of the bent through increasing amplitude cyclic deformations. The damaged bent was then repaired by installing a ductile fuse steel brace in the form of a buckling-restrained brace in a diagonal configuration between the columns and using post-tensioned rods to strengthen the cap beam. The brace was secured to the bent using steel gusset plate brackets and post-installed adhesive anchors. The repaired bent was then subjected to increasing amplitude cyclic deformations to reassess the bent performance. A subassemblage test of a nominally identical steel brace was also conducted in an effort to quantify and isolate the ductile fuse behavior. The experimental data from these large-scale experiments were analyzed in terms of the hysteretic response, observed damage, internal member loads, as well as the overall stiffness and energy dissipation characteristics. The results of this study demonstrated the effectiveness of utilizing ductile steel bracing for restoring the bent and preventing further damage to the columns and cap beams while also improving the stiffness and energy dissipation characteristics.
