The extensive usage of pretensioned prestressed concrete component in modem construe- tion as structural members mandates precise understanding of its mechanism. Especially, an adequate transfer of prestressing force from steel tendons to concrete around the end regions of the member is a critical issue. Due to the importance of the topic, several investigators have formulated equations modeling the transfer bond length based on various bonding mechanism between steel and concrete. However, the existing models are still inadequate in predicting the bond development in pretensioned prestressed concrete members. Therefore, this study presents a model of transfer bond length based on rational theory that can simulate experimental results. The model is developed into solid mechanics based structural analysis computer program. The program is validated by comparing the analysis results with experimental results of bond stress distribution, concrete strain profiles, and transfer length in pretensioned prestressed concrete members. The proposed analytical procedure in this study can be utilized as a useful tool for realistic evaluation of transfer length in pretensioned prestressed concrete members.

By bond mechanism between the prestressing strand and the concrete surrounding it, the effective force of prestressing must be transferred to the concrete entirely. The distance required to transfer the effective force of prestressing is called the transfer length, and the development length is the bond length required to anchor the strand as it resists external loads on the member. Transfer length was determined from the concrete strain profile at the level of the strands at transfer and development length was determined from various external loading lengths and compared with current code equation. Through the test results, bond failure is predicted based on the distress caused by cracks when they propagate within the transfer zone of prestressing strand. The current code equation was found to be conservative in comparison with the measured value.

This study was carried out to establish an effective system for embryo transfer of techniques by analyzing several factors affecting the gestation length and the weight changes of calves produced from embryo transfer in Korean cattle. The results obtained in study on factors affecting the gestation length and the weight changes of calves produced from embryo transfer were as fallow; 1) The gestation length and the birth weight did not differ between male and female, but the weight changes after birth were remarkablely different between sex(P<0.05). 2) The gestation length between heifers and cows was not different, and body weights at birth and 6 months were remarkabley heavy in cows(P<0.05). Weight changes after 6 months were not different. 3) The gestation length and the birth weight were significantly different between the single and twin calving (P<0.05). Weight of twin at 6 and 12 months were remarkabely light. 4) Calving seasons did not affect the gestation length the and the birth weight. Weaning weight was significantly heavy(P<0.05), but weight changes after weaning were no different among the calving seasons. Conclusivley, this results suggest that cows will be better when considering growth of calves and twin produced from embryo trnsfer in Korean cattle.

An experimental investigation to determine the transfer length of a seven-wire prestressing strand in different concretes is presented in this paper. A testing technique based on the analysis of bond behaviour by means of measuring the force supported by the prestressing strand on a series of specimens with different embedment lengths has been used. An analytical bond model to calculate the transfer length from an inelastic bond stress distribution along the transfer length has been obtained. A relationship between the plastic bond stress for transfer length and the concrete compressive strength at the time of prestress transfer has been found. An equation to predict the average and both the lower bound and the upper bound values of transfer length is proposed. The experimental results have not only been compared with the theoretical prediction from proposed equations in the literature, but also with experimental results obtained by several researchers.

CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced polymer) 긴장재는 PC 강연선의 부식문제를 해결하기 위해 대안으로 사용될 수 있다. CFRP 긴장재를 콘크리트구조물에 적용하기 위해서는 부착강도, 전달길이, 정착길이와 같은 재료적 특성이 명확히 결정되어야 한다. 특히 프리텐션 콘크리트 부재에 CFRP 긴장재가 적용될 경우 전달길이는 긴장력 도입에 있어서 중요한 요소가 된다. 본 연구에서 개발된 CFRP 전달길이 및 정착길이를 산정하기 위해 프리텐션 보 9개를 제작하였다. 전달길이 실험결과, 긴장력 25%인 경우는 34D, 긴장력 50%인 경우는 55D로 측정되었고, 긴장력이 커지면 전달길이가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 시간경과에 따른 전달길이 변화를 살펴보면, 긴장력의 크기에 따라 시간경과가 전달길이에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 보강재 특성계수 산정 결과, 본 연구에서 개발된 CFRP 긴장재의 보강재-특성 계수 ${\alpha}_t$는 2.3으로 PS강연선 (${\alpha}_t=2.4$)과 비슷한 것으로 나타났다.

프리텐션 콘크리트 부재에서 강연선의 유효프리스트레스를 확보하기 위해서는 부재의 단부부터 특정 부착길이가 필요하며, 이를 전달길이라고 정의한다. 그러나, 강연선과 콘크리트 사이의 복잡한 부착 메커니즘으로 인해 결정론적인 방법으로 전달길이를 산정하는 기존 방법들은 많은 불확실성을 내포하고 있으며, 안전측의 해석결과를 제공하는 것에 초점이 맞추어져 있다. 따라서, 이 연구에서는 여러 영향인자들의 복잡한 메커니즘을 보다 효과적으로 고려하여 정확한 전달길이를 산정하기 위해 뉴로-퍼지 시스템의 방법 중 하나인 ANFIS를 도입하였다. 기존 연구로부터 총 253개의 실험체를 수집하여 ANFIS 알고리즘을 훈련시켰으며, 훈련된 ANFIS 알고리즘은 전달길이를 매우 정확히 예측하였다. 또한, ANFIS 전달길이 평가결과를 토대로, 변수분석과 차원해석을 수행하여 보다 간략화된 전달길이 산정식을 제안하였으며, 제안식은 ANFIS 해석결과와 거의 대등한 정확도를 보여주었다.

In this study, the transfer length of 2400 MPa, seven-wire high-strength steel strands with a 15.2 mm diameter in pretensioned prestressed concrete (PSC) beams utilizing high strength concrete over 58 MPa at prestress release was evaluated experimentally. 32 specimens, which have the variables of concrete compressive strength, concrete cover depth, and the number of PS strands, were fabricated and corresponding transfer lengths were measured. The strands were released gradually by slowly reducing the pressure in the hydraulic stressing rams. The measured results of transfer length showed that the transfer length decreased as the concrete compressive strength and concrete cover depth increased. The number of strands had a very small effect, and the effect varied with both the concrete cover depth and concrete strength. The results were compared to current design codes and transfer lengths predicted by other researchers. The comparison results showed that the current transfer length prediction models in design codes may be conservatively used for 2400 MPa high-strength strands in high-strength concrete beams exceeding 58 MPa at prestress release.

In a concrete member under pure tension, the stress in concrete is uniformly distributed over the whole concrete section. It is supposed that a local bond failure occurs at each crack, and there is a relative slip between steel and surrounding concrete. The compatibility of deformation between the concrete and reinforcement is thus not maintained. The bond transfer length is a length of reinforcement adjacent to the crack where the compatibility of strain between the steel and concrete is not maintained because of partially bond breakdown and slip. It is an empirical measure of the bond characteristics of the reinforcement, incorporating bar diameter and surface characteristics such as texture. Based on results from a series of previously conducted long-term tests on eight restrained reinforced concrete slab specimens and material properties including creep and shrinkage of two concrete batches, the ratio of final bond transfer length after all shrinkage cracking, to THE initial bond transfer length is presented.

본 논문은 공동주택 아파트에 저층에 위치해 있는 필로티에서 사용되는 전이시스템의 성능을 평가한 것이다. 전이시스템은 2개의 층으로 구성이 되어 주로 벽식구조 아파트에서 낮은 층에 사용되며, 하부기둥의 갑작스런 단면변화가 있는 곳에 상부벽체에서 하부기둥까지 하중을 전달시킨다. 특히, 전이보는 자주 사용하는 전이시스템 중 하나이지만 낮은 시공성과 경제성의 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 기존의 연구에서 제시되어 있듯이 전이슬래브와 같은 전이시스템이 제안되었으며 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 전이슬래브의 압축성능을 검증하기 위해 축하중을 받는 필로티 전이시스템에 대한 실험이 수행되었다. 유한요소해석을 통해 최종적으로 2가지의 실험체가 결정이 되었으며, 결정된 전이슬래브 실험체는 기둥의 길이를 변수로 두었으며, 하부 기둥의 길이가 상부 벽체 길이의 40%와 50%로 나누었다. 실험을 통해 축하중을 받는 전이슬래브 시스템의 압축성능은 기둥의 길이에 영향을 받아 기둥의 길이가 벽체의 길이의 40%와 50%인 실험체 각각의 압축 성능은 설계하중보다 52%와 46% 높았다.
