In this paper the effect of prestressing force on the first flexural natural frequency of beams is studied. Finite element technique is used to model the beam-tendon system, and the prestressing force is applied in the form of initial tension in the tendon. It is shown that the effect of prestressing force on the first natural frequency depends on bonded and unbonded nature of the tendon, and also on the eccentricity of tendon. For the beams with bonded tendon, the prestressing force does not have any appreciable effect on the first flexural natural frequency. However, for the beams with unbonded tendon, the first natural frequency significantly changes with the prestressing force and eccentricity of the tendon. If the eccentricity of tendon is small, then the first natural frequency decreases with the prestressing force and if the eccentricity is large, then the first flexural natural frequency increases with the prestressing force. Results of the present study clearly indicate that the first natural frequency can not be used as an easy indicator for detecting the loss of prestressing force, as has been attempted in some of the past studies.

This study investigated the effects of prestressing force on the natural frequency of concrete beams considering changes in the self-weight of the beam. For this, a finite element formulation was derived to account for the increase in the stiffness of a beam-tendon system due to the axial force and deformation induced by prestressing of the tendon. The developed finite element formulation was validated with the data obtained in laboratory experiments. The experimental natural frequencies of the small prestressed concrete (PSC) beam specimens were consistent with those obtained using the proposed method. The first natural frequency increased almost linearly as the prestressing force increased. The proposed method was then applied to four actual PSC bridges typically employed in the field. Different from the laboratory specimens, the first natural frequencies of the actual PSC bridges barely changed or increased with increasing prestressing force. The results of an analytical parametric study showed that the increase in the natural frequency strongly depended on the magnitude of the prestressing force relative to the total weight of the structure. Thus, the variation in the natural frequencies of the actual PSC bridges with high total weight relative to the prestressing force was negligible due to the application of the prestressing force.

In the prestressed concrete structures, the effective prestressing force of tendon is basically most important item for structural safety and serviceability. The frictional loss is one of the major items for determinating the effective prestressing force and depend on the construction accuracy of the structures. In this thesis, it will be analyzed and found through measured hydraulic jack pressure, tendon elongation and prestressing control system that the tendancy of apparent curvature friction coefficient, the ratio of jacking force and required prestressing force, the ratio of initial jacking force and required prestressing force and compatibility of specified friction loss coefficient. The specified control limit for curvature friction coefficient of prestressing control system is about 0.25 and wobble friction coefficient 0.005. Thus, the control limit should be modified according to changed vale of friction coefficient.

The research on the effect of the prestressing force on the frequency of PSC(Prestressed Concrete beam) has been conducted theoretically and experimentally, and a few theory has been presented. However, the presented theories show no agreement in predicting the effect of the prestressing force. In this paper, the theories on the effect of the prestressing force on the frequency of PSC beam are presented and evaluated using the experimental result. To obtain the experimental result, two PSC beam specimens were manufactured, and the modal test and analysis were performed. The modal analysis results revealed that the prestressing force increased the natural frequency of the PSC beam. Comparing predicted results using existing theories show that Kim's model, which substitutes the prestressing tendon with the equivalent beam, gives the best prediction result.

이 논문에서는 프리캐스트 콘크리트와 현장타설 콘크리트 그리고 긴장된 강재와 긴장되지 않은 강재 등으로 구성되는 합성단면에서 콘크리트 장기변형의 내부구속에 의한 잔류응력과 긴장력 손실을 해석하였다. 이 해석결과로부터 사용 중에 도입되는 추가 긴장력으로 합성거더를 보강하는 경우에 필요한 추가 긴장력의 설계식과 저항모멘트 평가식이 제안되었다. 제안된 식은 일차 긴장력의 손실률이 설계규준의 일괄손실 등에 의해 과대평가되는 경우에 허용응력으로부터 결정되는 추가 긴장력 또한 과대평가 될 수 있음을 보여준다. 일반적으로 많이 사용되는 AASHTO Type 5 거더의 합성단면에 대해 이 논문의 해석방법을 적용 및 검토하였다. 프리캐스트 콘크리트 거더에 추가 긴장력이 도입되는 경우 일차 긴장력과 추가 긴장력의 손실률은 합성거더에 도입되는 경우보다 작았으나, 저항모멘트는 합성거더에 추가 긴장력이 도입되는 경우 상당히 증가하였다. 합성거더에 도입된 추가 긴장력의 보강효과는 매우 우수하였다.

본 연구에서는 프리스트레스 긴장력의 위치와 크기에 따른 거더의 횡비틀림 안정성 실험을 수행하였다. 거더를 이용한 횡방향 거동 및 안정성 실험은 재료의 비선형성, 초기 기하학적 불완전성, 긴장력의 변화, 하중조건과 지지조건 등 다양한 변수에 의해 예상치 못한 결과를 발생시킬 수 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 프리스트레스 거더 축소 모형 실험안을 제안하여 긴장력에 의한 횡비틀림 안정성을 실험을 수행하였다. 하중 가력조건과 면내 및 면외 지지조건을 만족하며 긴장력을 조절할 수 있는 실험장치를 제안하고 제작하였다. 실험결과 하부 플랜지에 긴장력이 작용하는 경우 횡비틀림 안정성을 증가시켰으며, 최종적으로 긴장력의 위치와 크기에 따라 횡비틀림 안정성을 평가할 수 있는 해석식을 제안하였다.

In this paper, the prestressing order of tendons is studied to minimize a bursting force of an anchorage. The bursting forces is a primary factor of anchorage failures. The forces of the anchorage depend on the prestressing order and size of the tendons, if a lot of tendons are introduced to the anchorage. Many studies have been made to analyze the bursting force of the anchorage. However, the studies have been limited to the bursting forces of the anchorage having one or two tendons. PSC box girder bridges usually have a lot of tendons. And the difference of the bursting forces lies in the prestressing order of the tendons. As a result of the lack of studies on the prestressing order for the bridges, the order depends on the designer's intuition and experiences. It may be stated that this study should be useful for determining the reasonable prestressing order of tendons for the PSC box girder bridges.

Due to deterioration of bridge, usually be using the external prestressing method among repair reinforcement method. But, there is much to be desired about a detailed account, almost it has analysed by cambers of girders, deflections of middle span and upper, bottom stresses of girders. Also, it is not examined closely that effect of internal prestress by external prestressing. The purpose of this study is confirmed the effect of internal tendons by external prestressing, estimation of additional external prestressing force and look for exact external prestressing force.

The major objectives of this study are to investigate experimental and analytical behavior of composite steel plate strengthened by external post prestressing method and to study the increasing magnitude of load carrying capacity by the external post prestressing method. With installed strain gauges and LVDT, the change of structural behaviors according to the amount of prestressing force is measured and the effects of shear strengthening according to the degree of angle in tendon are studied. The analytical structural behavior according to the amount of prestressing force is also investigated using finite element method. The effectiveness of strengthening of external post prestressing method is proved and an efficient FEM model is suggested by comparing the test results and analyzing results.

Until now, the evaluation of prestressing force during the survice state has received limited attention. Only initial prestressing force is estimated by reading the pressure values of a hydraulic jack or by observing the initial elongation of tendons. In this study, the initial losses and time dependent losses of prestressing force have been monitored by installing 12 vibrating wire-type load cells at the part of P.C. box bridge of Gangbyun Riverside Highway. Also comparative study was made for measured prestressing losses and estimated values. 2-dimensional analysis was performed to see the trend of prestressing losses, and the results was compared with measured ones.
