프리스트레스(PS) 긴장재의 긴장력 관리는 거더 성능관리에 있어 매우 중요한 항목이나 현재는 시공시 설계 긴장력의 도입 여부만을 검증한 후 공용시에는 그 관리가 이루어지지 않는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 PSC 거더의 제작단계에서부터 공용시까지 생애주기 동안의 긴장력 관리가 가능한 PSC 거더를 제안하기 위한 기초 연구로서, 현재의 기술수준으로 사용 가능한 센서들을 이용하여 PS 긴장력을 측정하는 실험 연구를 수행하였다. 소규모 거더를 제작하여 4종류의 센서를 설치하였고, 긴장력을 도입하면서 각 센서들의 적용성과 정확성을 평가하였다. 실험결과에 따르면, 중공로드셀은 편심하중이 작용하는 경우 기준값보다 하중을 높게 평가하는 경향이 있었다. EM 센서는 실용이 가능한 정확도를 보여주었으며, 콘크리트 내부의 긴장재를 따라 어느 위치에서도 설치할 수 있다.

Precast concrete deck has many advantages comparing with the in-situ concrete deck, and has been successfully applied to replacement of the deteriorated decks and to the newly constructed highway bridges in domestic region. In order to apply the precast decks into the railway bridges, however, differences of the load characteristics between the highway and the railway should be properly taken into account including the train load, longitudinal force of the continuous welded rail. acceleration or braking force, temperature change and shrinkage. Proper level of the longitudinal prestress of the tendons that can ensure integrity of the transverse joints in the deck system is of a primary importance. To this aim, the longitudinal tensile stresses induced by the design loads are derived using three-dimensional finite element analyses, design codes and theoretical equations for the frequently adopted PSC composite girder railway bridge. The estimated proper prestress level to counteract those tensile stresses is over 2.4 MPa, which is similar to the case of the highway bridges.

The widened Seoul-Bridge is the first continuous 8-span prestressed concrete(PSC) girder bridge in domain. The construction sequence of the bridge consists of S steps in a large way. The measuring in construction stage includes the determination of the allowable fluctuation value of beam stress in each step and the measurement beam stress during prestessing. The measured tendon prestress force was compared with the design value. When it was compared with the analytic result, the difference between the measured stress and the analytic stress was below allowable error. The friction loss and the anchorage slip loss of the tendon prestress force was lower than the design loss value.

Prestressed concrete(PSC) bridge structures with a number of continuous spans has been segmentally built in many countries. These methods include incremental launching method, movable scaffolding method, full staging method and balanced cantilever method. In these segmentally constructed prestressed concrete bridges, many construction joints exist and these construction joints are weak points in PSC bridges. The prestress force can be introduced prestress force continuously through the construction joints of PSC bridge superstructure using tendon couplers. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the structural behavior and ultimate flexural strength of construction joints in PSC girder bridge members. To this end, a comprehensive experimental program has been set up and a series of full-scale tests have been performed. Ultimate flexural strength of construction joint in PSC members with tendon couplers is decreased by approximately 10% for non-coupled members.

The purpose of this study is to propose the method of determining the initial fabric membrane structures surface and membrane patterning procedures. Tension structure, such as, fabric membrane structures and cable-net, is stabilized by their initial prestress and boundary condition. The process to find initial structural overall shape of tension structures produced by initial prestress called Shape Finding or Shape Analysis. One of the most important factor for the design of membrane structures is to search initial smooth surface, because unlike steel or concrete building elements which resist loads in bending, all tension structure forces are carried within the surface by membrane stress or cable tension. To obtain initial surface of fabric membrane element in large deformation analysis, the membrane element is idealized as cable using a technique with Force-density method. and that result is compared with well-known nonlinear numerical method, such as Newton-raphson method and Dynamic relaxation method. The shape resulting from Force-density method has been dealt with as the initial membrane shape and used patterning procedures.

Square tubular columns are commonly used in moment resisting frames, while through-diaphragm connection is the most typical configuration detail to connect the H-shaped beam to the column. However, brittle fracture normally occurs at the complete joint penetration weld between the beam flange and the through-diaphragm due to the stress concentration caused by the geometrical discontinuity. Accordingly, three improved types of through-diaphragm are presented in this paper to provide smooth force flow path comparing to that of conventional connections. Tensile tests were conducted on four specimens and the results were analyzed in terms of failure modes, load-displacement response, yield and ultimate capacity, and initial stiffness. Furthermore, strain distributions on the through-diaphragm, the beam flange plate, and the column face were comprehensively evaluated and discussed. It was found that all the proposed three types of improved through-diaphragm connections were able to reduce the stress concentration in the welds between the beam flange and the through-diaphragm. Furthermore, the stress distribution in connection with longer tapered through-diaphragm was more uniform.

PSC거더교는 탁월한 안정성, 사용성 등의 특징으로 전세계적으로 가장 많이 사용되는 교량의 한 형식이다. 그러나, 긴장재 (강연선)의 시공오차나 곡률반경 등에 의하여 절곡되는 상황이 발생하는 경우가 생기며, 이는 국부적인 긴장력의 손실울 유발한다. 그러나, 일반적으로 설계와 시공과정에서는 긴장재의 국부적인 절곡으로 발생하는 긴장력의 손실에 대하여는 간과하고 있다. 이 연구에서는 PSC 거더 연속화 지점부에서 시공오차와 선형반경으로 인하여 발생하는 긴장력 손실량을 실험적으로 규명하였다. 또한, 국부적 긴장력 손실을 감소시킬수 있는 공법을 제안하고 이에 대한 효용을 실험으로 검증하였다. 실험결과에 따르면 국부적 절곡에 의해 최대 10%의 긴장손실이 나타났고, 블록아웃 공법을 통해 손실률을 최대 약 5% 감소시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 블록아웃 공법으로 연속화 교량의 긴장효율을 향상시킬 수 있음을 의미한다.

The technique of posttensioning has been used successfully to improve the performance of existing concrete structures. However, very few applications of this technique can be found in steel structures. Posttensioning by means of high strength cable or bar can be used to effectively increase the working load capacity of Truss Bridges. The benefits of posttensioning trusses can be achieved in strengthening of existing structures as well as in the design of new structures. In this paper, the elastic behavior of posttensioned trusses with straight and draped tendon profiles is examined. For the analysis of posttensioned trusses in the elastic range of behavior, two methods are presented, namely, the flexibility method and the mixed-method, i.e., a combination of the stiffness and flexibility methods. Using the presented methods, the effects of design variables such as the tendon profile, truss type, prestress force, and tendon eccentricity on the working load and deflection of trusses are studied. The results show that the allowable load of truss increases proportionally with increase in prestress force and eccentricity. Posttesioning enlarges the elastic range, increases redundancy, and reduces deflection and member stresses. Thus, the remaining life of a truss bridge can be increased relatively inexpensively.

콘크리트의 크리프와 건조수축에 의한 시간에 따른 프리스트레스 장기예측의 정확성은 프리스트레스트 큰크리트 교량과 같은 사회 기반 시설의 유지 관리 및 보수 결정 측면에서 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 논문에서는 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 교량의 프리스트레스 장기예측의 불확실성 감소, 즉 예측의 정확성 향상을 위하여 현장 계측치를 이용하여 베이시안(Bayesian)통계기법을 도입하는 예측기법을 제안하였다. 베이시안 해석시 사전 확률분포는 콘크리트의 크리프와 건조수축의 확률 특성을 고려하여 나타내며, 우도 함수(likelihood function)는 현장에서의 계측치를 사용하여 나타내었다. 시간에 따른 구조적 거동 시스템으로부터의 지속적인 계측 기록은 베이시안 지식 기반에서의 확률분포를 업데이팅 하기 위하여 사용되며, 사후 확률분포는 사전확률분포와 우도 함수를 조합하여 획득한다. 실제로 가설되고 있는 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 박스 거더 교량으로부터 계측된 프리스트레스 힘의 수치 예제해석을 통하여 제안 기법의 적용성을 제시하였다.

In the last decades, research efforts have been spent to investigate the effect of prestressing on the dynamic behaviour of prestressed concrete (PSC) beams. Whereas no agreement has been reached among the achievements obtained by different Researchers and among the theoretical and the experimental results for simply supported beams, very few researches have addressed this problem in continuous PSC beams. This topic is, indeed, worthy of consideration bearing in mind that many relevant bridges and viaducts in the road and railway networks have been designed and constructed with this structural scheme. In this paper the attention is, thus, focused on the dynamic features of continuous PSC bridges taking into account the effect of prestressing. This latter, in fact, contributes to the modification of the distribution of the bending stress along the beam, also by means of the secondary moments, and influences the flexural stiffness of the beam itself. The dynamic properties of a continuous, two spans bridge connected by a nonlinear spring have been extracted by solving an eigenvalue problem in different linearized configurations corresponding to different values of the prestress force. The stiffness of the nonlinear spring has been calculated considering the mechanical behaviour of the PSC beam in the uncracked and in the cracked stage. The application of the proposed methodology to several case studies indicates that the shift from the uncracked to the cracked stage due to an excessive prestress loss is clearly detectable looking at the variation of the dynamic properties of the beam. In service conditions, this shift happens for low values of the prestress losses (up to 20%) for structure with a high value of the ratio between the permanent load and the total load, as happens for instance in long span, continuous box bridges. In such conditions, the detection of the dynamic properties can provide meaningful information regarding the structural state of the PSC beam.
