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.

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.

Experimental study has been performed in order to investigate the behavior of RC beams strengthened with externally bonded prestressed CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) strips. A total of 7 specimens have been manufactured of which specimens strengthened with bonded CFRP strips considering the level of prestress as experimental variable, and a specimen with simply bonded CFRP strips. The following phenomena have been observed through the experimental results. The specimen with simply bonded CFRP strips failed below 50$\%$ of its tensile strength due to premature debonding. On the other hand, all the specimens strengthened with prestressed CFRP strips showed sufficient strengthening performance up to the ultimate rupture load of the CFRP strips. Also, it was observed that the cracking loads and yield loads of the strengthened beams were increased proportionally to the prestress level, but the maximum loads were nearly equal regardless of the prestress level.

An optimal design method for a spoke double-layer cable-net structure (SDLC) is proposed in this study. Simplified calculation models of the SDLC are put forward to reveal the static responses under vertical loads and wind loads. Next, based on an energy principle, the relationship among the initial prestress level, cross-sectional areas of the components, rise height, sag height, overall displacement, and relative deformation is proposed. Moreover, a calculation model of the Foshan Center SDLC is built and optimized. Given the limited loading cases, material properties of the components, and variation ranges of the rise height and sag height, the self-weight and initial prestress level of the entire structure can be obtained. Because the self-weight of the cables decreases with increasing of the rise height and sag height, while the self-weight of the inner strut increases, the total weight of the entire structure successively exhibits a sharp reduction, a gradual decrease, a slow increase, and a sharp increase during the optimization process. For the simplified model, the optimal design corresponds to the combination of rise height and sag height that results in an appropriate prestress level of the entire structure with the minimum total weight.

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.

본 연구는 부착식 PSC 텐던에 도입된 긴장응력이 종진동 거동에 미치는 메커니즘을 규명한다. 텐던의 종방향 직선변형과 비틀림변형은 상호 연동하여 거동하고, 텐던에 도입된 긴장응력은 축강성과 비틀림강성에 영향을 미친다. 그러므로 텐던의 탄성파 속도를 계측함으로써 텐던에 도입된 긴장응력을 추정 할 수 있다. 이는 텐던의 탄성파속도가 축강성과 비틀림강성의 함수이기 때문에 가능하다. 도입 긴장력이 다른 6개의 PSC 보 시험체에 대한 종진동 실험결과를 이용하여 텐던의 종진동 특성과 도입 긴장응력 사이의 역학적 메커니즘이 검증되었다. 이를 위하여, 탄성파 속도로부터 텐던의 시스템 강성을 추정할 수 있는 시스템인식 이론이 적용 되었다. 추정 결과는 기존 문헌의 연구결과와 비교 검토되었다.

This paper presents the results of a study on flexural capacity of large size RC slabs strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymer(CFRP) plates. A total of 5 specimens of 6.0m length were tested in four point bending after strengthening them with externally bonded CFRP plates. The CFRP plates were bonded without prestress and with two prestress levels, 0.4% and 0.6% of CFRP plate strain. Test variables included the type of strengthening, prestressing level, and the effects according to each test variables are analysed. The experimental results show that proposed methods can increase significantly the flexural capacity such as strength, stiffness of the beam and the increase ranged between 36.2% and 63.2% of the load-carrying capacity of the control beams. The non-prestressed specimen failed by separation of the plate from the beam due to premature debonding while most of the prestressed specimens failed by CFRP plate fracture. And the cracking loads and maximum loads were increased proportionally to the prestress level.

본 연구는 부착식 텐던의 종진동수를 이용하여 텐던의 장력을 추정할 수 있는지 여부를 알아보는 타당성 연구이다. 본 연구를 위하여 총 8개의 프리스트레스 콘크리트 보 시험체가 특수 제작되었다. 각각의 시험체는 도입장력이 다른 부착식 텐던이 설치되었다. 부착식 텐던의 종진동 특성을 파악하기 위하여 다양한 종진동실험이 반복 수행되었다. 실험결과를 살펴보면, 텐던에 도입된 장력이 증가함에 따라서 종진동수, 탄성파속도 및 탄성계수가 비선형적으로 증가하였다. 그러므로 종진동 특성을 이용한 부착식 텐던의 장력평가는 가능 할 것으로 판단된다.

A radially retractable roof structure based on the concept of the hybrid grid shell is proposed in this paper. The single-layer steel trusses of the radially foldable bar structure are diagonally stiffened by cables, which leads to a single-layer lattice shell with triangular mesh. Then comparison between the static behavior between the retractable hybrid grid shell and the corresponding foldable bar shell with quadrangular mesh is discussed. Moreover, the effects of different structural parameters, such as the rise-to-span ratio, the bar cross section area and the pre-stress of the cables, on the structural behaviors are investigated. The results show that prestressed cables can strengthen the foldable bar shell with quadrangular mesh. Higher structural stiffness is anticipated by introducing cables into the hybrid system. When the rise-span ratio is equal to 0.2, where the joint displacement reaches the minimal value, the structure shape of the hyrbid grid shell approaches the reasonable arch axis. The increase of the section of steel bars contributes a lot to the integrity stiffness of the structure. Increasing cable sections would enhance the structure stiffness, but it contributes little to axial forces in structural members. And the level of cable prestress has slight influence on the joint displacements and member forces.

탄소섬유보강재(CFRP)는 부식에 대한 저항성과 작은 중량에도 불구하고 높은 강도와 강성을 가지고 있어 토목구조물의 보강에 적합하다. 콘크리트 구조물 보강분야에 CFRP의 적용은 보강이 필요한 구조물들이 점점 증가하면서 점차적으로 확대되고 있다. 그러나, CFRP판을 표면에 부착하는 표면부착 공법으로 보강된 RC 부재들은 설계 시 예상되는 파괴하중보다 작은 하중에서 조기파괴가 발생하게 되어 새로운 보강방법의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 이러한 표면부착공법의 문제점은 CFRP판을 부착하기 전 긴장력을 도입함으로써 해결될 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 길이가 3.3 m인 21개의 실험체를 CFRP판 을 이용하여 보강한 후에 4점 휨실험을 실시하였다. CFRP판은 긴장하지 않거나 CFRP판의 변형률을 0.4-0.8%까지 긴장하여 부착하였다. 단부정착 장치를 설치한 모든 실험체는 프리스트레싱 수준과 관계없이 CFRP판의 파단으로 파괴되었으나, 단 부정착 장치가 없는 실험체는 조기 부착파괴로 인해 탄소판이 콘크리트로부터 탈락하면서 파괴되었다. 균열 발생 하중은 프리스트레싱 수준과 비례적인 관계에 있었으나, 프리스트레스를 가한 CFRP판으로 보강한 실험체의 최대하중은 프리스트레싱 수준의 영향을 크게 받지 않았다.
