This study presents the design of autonomous smart sensor nodes for damage monitoring of tendons and girders in prestressed concrete (PSC) bridges. To achieve the objective, the following approaches are implemented. Firstly, acceleration-based and impedance-based smart sensor nodes are designed for global and local structural health monitoring (SHM). Secondly, global and local SHM methods which are suitable for damage monitoring of tendons and girders in PSC bridges are selected to alarm damage occurrence, to locate damage and to estimate severity of damage. Thirdly, an autonomous SHM scheme is designed for PSC bridges by implementing the selected SHM methods. Operation logics of the SHM methods are programmed based on the concept of the decentralized sensor network. Finally, the performance of the proposed system is experimentally evaluated for a lab-scaled PSC girder model for which a set of damage scenarios are experimentally monitored by the developed smart sensor nodes.

이 논문에서는 비부착 프리스트레스트 CFRP 판으로 보강된 콘크리트 거더의 비선형 휨거동에 대한 해석방법을 제시하였다. 비부착 프리스트레스트 CFRP 판으로 보강된 콘크리트 거더는 CFRP 판의 슬립(slip)으로 인해 인장력이 재분배되어 CFRP 판이 콘크리트에 부착된 경우에 비해 복잡한 비선형 거동을 보이게 된다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 비부착 프리스트레스트 CFRP 판을 여러 개의 곡선 요소로 모사하고, 화이버 뼈대요소의 각 절점에서 힘의 평형 관계를 이용하여 CFRP 판의 인장력을 재분배함으로써 슬립효과를 고려하였다. 이 논문에서 제시한 해석방법을 비부착 프리스트레스트 CFRP 판으로 보강된 콘크리트 보의 해석에 적용하여 해석방법의 정당성을 확인하였다. 또한 비부착 CFRP 판의 보강시점과 보강 전후에 발생한 콘크리트의 시간의존적 변형은 보의 처짐 거동에는 영향을 미치나 극한내력에는 영향을 미치지 않음을 확인하였고, 비부착 CFRP 판으로 보강하기 전에 발생한 콘크리트의 균열유무도 비부착 CFRP 판으로 보강한 후의 보의 극한거동에는 거의 영향을 미치지 않음을 확인하였다.

Two full-scale, precast, pretensioned box girders were subjected to shear-dominated loading, one under monotonic loads to failure and the other subjected to one-half million cycles of fatigue loads followed by monotonic ultimate loads. The number of cycles was selected to allow for comparison with previous research. The fatigue loads were applied in combination with occasional overloads. In the present study, fatigue loading reduced the shear capacity by only six percent compared to the capacity under monotonic loading. However, previous research on flexure-dominated girders subjected to the same number of repeated loads showed that fatigue loading changed the mode of failure from flexure to shear/flexure and the girder capacity dropped by 14 percent. The comparison of the measured data with calculated shear capacity from five different theoretical methods showed that the ACI code method, the compression field theory, and the modified compression field theory led to reasonable estimates of the shear strength. The truss model led to an overly conservative estimate of the capacity.

The precast prestressed concrete girders of I-type section are frequently employed to design the short-to-medium span bridge. However, its beam depth is greatly increased as its span length is increased over than about 30m. Therefore, the economic and aesthetic effectiveness are rapidly decreased in case of the span length over 30m. The purpose of this paper is to verify the structural safety on the new spliced two span bridge and analyze the variation of member forces and stress distribution according to the construction stages and time. The new spliced technique is performed by partial post tensioning and release in the U-type girders. The structural characteristics of this technique is the introduction of secondary moment to reduce the bending moment by self weight of precast U-type girders constructed in simply supported beam type. So, it is expected that the structural efficiency of this spliced bridge may be improved more than other techniques.

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.

The use of high strength concrete in the fabrication and construction of prestressed concrete beam bridges can result in the increase of girder spacings for standard shapes, as well as the increase of span lengths. The increase of girder spacings corresponds to the reduction of the required number of girders. This study shows that the use of high strength concrete make prestressed concrete beam bridges the economical alternative to any other bridge types. Also, this study has the purpose of giving aids to design of prestressed concrete beam. To achieve this purpose this study provides the plots resulting from research on relationships between the concrete strength of prestressed concrete beam, girder spacing and the number of strands in various span lengths.

Recently, fatigue problem become a critical issue in the design of prestressed concrete bridges due to the increase of traffic volumes and use of high-strength materials. Most existing studies are mainly concerned with the fatigue behavior of component materials only such as concrete, reinforcing bars, and prestressing steels and few studies exist that deals with the fatigue behavior of bridge members. An improved analytic formulation for both uncracked and cracked prestressed concrete composite section with cyclic creep effect is developed to take into account the change of neutral axis with crack propagation. The procedure also enables to investigate serviceability limit states, deflection and crack width. The present study allows more realistic analysis and design of prestressed concrete composite girder bridges under fatigue loadings.

Due to the heterogeneous nature of a concrete, periodic inspections are compulsory to maintenance of quality of concrete structures. The major object of this study is to analyze and investigate experimentally the experimental equation for the estimate of compressive strength of prestressed concrete. In this study, surface hardness method, ultrasonic method are investigated to evaluate strength of concrete specimens. Specimens are cast in laboratory and cores are cut from specimens in order to estimate the accurate strength. These values are used to compare with calculated values from test data. The result shows that the proposed equation can reproduce the results at prestressed concrete beam girders more appropriately than previous equations.

PSC 거더의 단면 개선과 장경간화를 위한 주요 영향 요소는 단면 형상과 콘크리트 강도이며, 이중 콘크리트의 강도에 의한 영향은 거더의 휨강도 증가보다는 거더 상하연의 허용인장강도 증가에 크게 기여한다. 본 연구에서는 60MPa급 고강도 PSC를 논산-전주간 고속도로 확장공사 1공구 원수교의 거더에 시험 시공하였고, 논산방향 4차선에 35m 단경간 IPC 거더 8본에 타설하였다. 거더 콘크리트 타설 기간 중 지속적인 표면수 관리와 생산시 에어미터법을 사용하여 단위수량을 보정하여 고강도 콘크리트의 품질관리를 실시하였다. 현장 거더 콘크리트의 압축강도는 목표 강도를 안정적으로 확보함을 확인하였고, 거더 콘크리트의 수화열을 측정하였다. 하지만 동일재료와 시공방법을 사용하였음에도 강도의 편차가 다소 크게 나타나 향후 고강도 콘크리트를 현장에서 타설하여 적용할 경우 이에 대한 대책을 반드시 마련해야 할 것으로 판단된다.
