This study purports to analyze equally stressed surfaces in tension-membrane structures through a geometrically nonlinear approach. It adopts the formulation of a 4-node quadrilateral isoparametric plane stress element considering the orthotropic characteristic of membrane textures. Tension structures, which include cables and tension membranes, such as a cable dome initially exhibit unstable conditions because no initial internal stiffness such as bending stiffness is present. Such a structural system requires prestressing to the tension members to attain a stable state. A tension-membrane structure retains a stable three dimensional curved surface as a structural shape. This analytical process for finding the geometry is referred to as Shape Finding Analysis. In order to assess the validity of this study, we examine equally stressed surfaces of saddle and catenary shape shell structures and carry out pertinent stress analyses

In order to apply a precast deck to continuous composite bridges, several experiments and analytical studies were performed. Design criterion for crack prevention should be such that it does not permit tension at the joint to occur when the service loads are applied. Details of the shear pocket for studs and material properties of filler in the pocket and the joint are very important considerations in design and construction. Combination of longitudinal prestressing methods, internal tendon and prestressing after shear connection, should be used for prevention of cracking in continuous precast deck bridges. Design guides for the determination of prestressing force are suggested.

이 연구의 목적은 강관과 강봉을 이용하여 프리스트레스력의 도입이 가능하도록 개발된 프리스트레싱(prestressing reinforcing units using steel bar and pipe, 이하 SP) 보강재의 응력손실을 확인하는데에 있다. 주요변수는 SP 보강재의 종류, 프리스트레스력의 크기 및 도입방법이다. 실험결과 SP 보강재의 응력손실은 프리스트레스력이 직접 도입하는 초기단계에서 가장 크게 있었는데, 그 크기는 압축도입형 보다 인장도입형에서 더 크게 있었다. SP 보강재의 응력손실은 프리스트레스력이 항복강도의 80%로 도입된 P800 강종인 압축도입형 실험체에서 1.6%로 가장 낮았다. 한편 시간경과에 따른 SP 보강재의 릴랙세이션은 압축도입형의 경우 SP 보강재의 종류, 프리스트레스력의 크기에 관계없이 0.4~1.9%로 평가되었는데, 이는 설계기준들에서 제시하고 있는 릴랙세이션 2.5% 이하를 만족하는 수준이었다. 결과적으로 프리스트레스력 도입 즉시 발생하는 응력손실을 감안할 때에 개발된 SP 보강재의 재질과 프리스트레스력 도입방식 및 크기는 각각 P800, 압축도입형 및 항복강도의 80%로 추천된다.

There are many studies on the optimization of steel trusses in literature; and, a large number of them include a shape optimization. However, only a few of these studies are focused on the prestressed steel trusses. Therefore, this paper aims to determine the amounts of the material and cost savings in steel plane trusses in the case of prestressing. A parallel-chord simply supported steel truss is handled as an example to evaluate the used approach. It is considered that prestressing tendon is settled under the bottom bar, between two end supports, using deviators. Cross-sections of the truss members and height of the truss are taken as the design variables. The prestress losses are calculated in two steps as instantaneous losses and time-dependent losses. Tension increment in prestressing tendon due to the external loads is also considered. A computer program based on genetic algorithm is developed to solve the optimization problem. The handled truss is optimized for different span lengths and different tendon eccentricities using the coded program. The effects of span length and eccentricity of tendon on prestressed truss optimization are investigated. The results of different solutions are compared with each other and those of the non-prestressed solution. It is concluded that the amounts of the material and the cost of a steel plane truss can be reduced up to 19.9% and 14.6%, respectively, by applying prestressing.

구조물의 보강을 위해 프리스트레스 강선에는 인장력이 도입되는데 이 강선은 덕트 및 편향장치에 의해서 휨을 동시에 받게 된다. 이와 같이 인장과 휨을 동시에 받는 프리스트레스 강선의 굴절인장성능을 평가하기 위해 강선의 직경, 맨드럴 직경, 맨드럴과 강선 사이 마찰계수를 변수로 하여 총 600종에 대한 굴절인장 변수해석을 실시하였다. 해석 결과, 강선의 직경이 클수록 낮은 굴절인장성능을 나타내었고, 그 영향은 강선 연신율의 증가에 따라 감소하였다. 강선의 굴절인장성능에 대한 맨드럴 직경, 맨드럴-강선 간 마찰계수의 영향은 매우 작게 나타났지만, 맨드럴-강연선 간 마찰계수에 대한 추가 해석 결과 상대적으로 높은 상관성을 보였다. 따라서, 굴절인장성능 확보를 위해서는 충분한 연신율 확보가 우선되어야 하고, 연신율 확보에 제약이 있을 시 적정값까지 강선 직경을 감소시켜야 하겠으며, 강선의 표면조건을 조절하여 강선 간 마찰력을 높여야 할 것이다.

Based on a numerical method to analyse the full-range behaviour of prestressed concrete beams with unbonded tendons, parametric studies are carried out to investigate the influence of 11 parameters on the curvature ductility of unbonded prestressed concrete (UPC) beams. It is found that, among various parameters studied, the depth to prestressing tendons, depth to non-prestressed tension steel, partial prestressing ratio, yield strength of non-prestressed tension steel and concrete compressive strength have substantial effects on the curvature ductility. Although the curvature ductility of UPC beams is affected by a large number of factors, rather simple equations can be formulated for reasonably accurate estimation of curvature ductility. Conversion factors are introduced to cope with the difference in partial safety factors, shapes of equivalent stress blocks and the equations to predict the ultimate tendon stress in BS8110, EC2 and ACI318. The same equations can also be used to provide conservative estimates of ductility of UPC beams with compression steel.

The traditional design procedure of a prestressed concrete (PC) cable-stayed bridge is complex and time-consuming. The designers have to repeatedly modify the configuration of the large number of design parameters to obtain a feasible design scheme which maybe not an economical design. In order to efficiently achieve an optimum design for PC cable-stayed bridges, a multi-parameter optimization technique is proposed. In this optimization technique, the number of prestressing tendons in girder is firstly set as one of design variables, as well as cable forces, cable areas and cross-section sizes of the girders and the towers. The stress and displacement constraints are simultaneously utilized to ensure the safety and serviceability of the structure. The target is to obtain the minimum cost design for a PC cable-stayed bridge. Finally, this optimization technique is carried out by a developed PC cable-stayed bridge optimization program involving the interaction of the parameterized automatically modeling program, the finite element structural analysis program and the optimization algorithm. A low-pylon PC cable-stayed bridge is selected as the example to test the proposed optimization technique. The optimum result verifies the capability and efficiency of the optimization technique, and the significance to optimize the number of prestressing tendons in the girder. The optimum design scheme obtained by the application can achieve a 24.03% reduction in cost, compared with the initial design.

This paper introduces a remained tensile force estimation method using SI technique based on evolutionary algorithm for externally prestressed tendon. This paper applies the differential evolutionary scheme to SI technique. A virtual model test using ABAQUS 3 dimensional frame model has been made for this work The virtual model is added to the tensile force(28.5kN). Two set of frequencies are extracted respectively from the virtual test and the self-coding FEM 2 dimension model. The estimating tendon tension for the FEM model is 28.31kN. It is that the error in the tendon tension is 1% through the differential evolutionary algorithm. The errors between virtual model and the self-coding FEM model are assumed as the model error.
