Prestressing tendons in the wall of circular storage tank were investigated from the viewpoint of equivalent load method. Special attention was paid to the effectiveness of eccentricities of the circumferential and vertical tendons. Some aspects which are frequently overlooked or misinterpreted in the analysis of vertical tendons are discussed. It is expected that the equivalent load method can be effectively used to simplify the analysis of tendons in the circular wall thus to minimize the errors.

The shear strength is an important factor in the design of prestressed concrete beams. Therefore, researchers have utilized various methods to determine the shear strength of these elements for the design purposes. To evaluate some of the proposed theoretical methods, numerous models of post-tensioned beams with or without vertical prestressing are selected and analyzed using the finite element method and assuming nonlinear behavior for the materials. In this regard the validity of modeling is evaluated based on some tests results. In the second part of the study two beam specimens are built and tested and their load-deformation curve and cracking pattern are studied. The analytical results consist of compressive strut slope and mid span load deflection are compared with some experimental results, and the results of some codes' formulas. Finally comparing the results of nonlinear analysis with the experimental values, a new formula is proposed for determining strut slopes in prestressed concrete beams.

This paper presents the details of a novel external prestressing technique for strengthening of concrete members. In the proposed technique, transfer of external force is in shear mode on the end block thus creating a complex stress distribution and the required transverse prestressing force is lesser compared to conventional techniques. Steel brackets are provided on either side of the end block for transferring external prestressing force and these are connected to the anchor blocks by expansion type anchor bolts. In order to validate the technique, an experimental investigation has been carried out on post-tensioned end blocks. Performance of the end blocks have been studied for design, cracking and ultimate loads. Slip and slope of steel bracket have been recorded at various stages during the experiment. Finite element analysis has been carried out by simulating the test conditions and the responses have been compared. From the analysis, it has been observed that the computed slope and slip of the steel bracket are in good agreement with the corresponding experimental observations. A simplified analytical model has been proposed to compute load-deformation of the loaded steel bracket with respect to the end block. Yield and ultimate loads have been arrived at based on force/moment equilibrium equations at critical sections. Deformation analysis has been carried out based on the assumption that the ratio of axial deformation to vertical deformation of anchor bolt would follow the same ratio at the corresponding forces such as yield and ultimate. It is observed that the computed forces, slip and slopes are in good agreement with the corresponding experimental observations.

최근 들어, 지하주차장과 같은 모듈화 건물에 프리캐스트 콘크리트와 현장타설 콘크리트가 함께 사용되는 복합공법의 사용이 증가하고 있다. 일반적으로 프리캐스트 콘크리트는 공장에서 선 제작되기 때문에 재료의 효율성을 극대화하기 위해 프리텐션을 도입하여 사용한다. 현행 구조기준이 긴장력이 가해진 단일 단면의 전단 강도식은 제시하지만 긴장력이 가해진 프리캐스트와 현장타설 콘크리트 합성단면의 전단강도식은 제시하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 긴장력이 가해진 합성 부재의 전단강도 실험을 통해 긴장력이 전단강도에 미치는 영향과 합성부재의 전단강도 산정시 고려해야할 사항에 대해 알아보았다. 변수로는 콘크리트의 면적비, 긴장재의 긴장력, 전단 경간비, 그리고 전단철근비를 고려하였다. 실험 결과를 분석해보면, 전단강도는 긴장력 크기와 긴장력이 가해진 단면의 면적비가 커질수록 증가하였고 전단경간비가 증가할수록 감소하였다.

Two-dimensional tensile stresses are occurring at the back of the anchorage of the tendons of prestressed concrete bridges. A new method named "tensile stress region" for the design of the reinforcement is presented in this paper. The basic idea of this approach is the division of an anchor block into several slices, which are described by the tensile stress region. The orthogonal reinforcing wire mesh can be designed in each slice to resist the tensile stresses. Additionally the sum of the depth of every slice defined by the tensile stress region is used to control the required length of the longitudinal reinforcement bars. An example for the reinforcement design of an anchorage block of an external prestressed concrete bridge is analyzed by means of the new presented method and a finite element model is established to compare the results. Furthermore the influence of the transverse and vertical prestressing on the ordinary reinforcement design is taken into account. The results show that the amount of reinforcement bars at the anchorage block is influenced by the layout of the transverse and the vertical prestressing tendons. Using the "tensile stress region" method, the ordinary reinforcement bars can be designed more precisely compared to the design codes, and arranged according to the stress state in every slice.

등가하중법은 프리스트레싱 텐던의 영향을 구조물에 작용하는 외력으로서 고려하는 것으로, 프리스트레싱의 효과를 명확히 하고 해석을 단순화시켜주는 유력한 방법론이다. 본 연구에서는 등가하중법의 관점에서 원형탱크 벽체의 원환텐던 및 수직텐던의 배치가 구조물에 미치는 영향을 이론적으로 분석하였으며, 관련된 설계 시방서에서 규정하고 있지는 않지만 실구조물에서 적지 않은 영향을 미칠 수도 있는 사항들에 대해 고찰하였다. 원환텐던의 편심배치시 텐던의 직선이동의 원리가 성립하므로 어떠한 편심배치에 대해서도 구조거동은 크게 달라지지 않을 것으로 사료된다. 또한, 기존의 수직텐던의 설계 및 해석에 있어서 편심배치에 의한 모멘트 효과를 잘못 산정한 예에 대해 올바른 해석법을 제시하였다. 일반적으로 수직텐던의 편심배치는 구조적으로 큰 효과가 있다고 보기는 힘든 것으로 사료된다. 수직텐던과 관련하여 프와송비의 효과나 절곡부위의 영향이 흔히 간과되어 왔으나, 예제의 분석결과 때로는 원형탱크의 구조거동에 적지 않은 영향을 미칠수도 있다고 판단된다.

Ancient masonry towers constitute a relevant part of the cultural heritage of humanity. Their earthquake protection is a topic of great concern among researchers due to the strong damage suffered by these brittle and massive structures through the history. The identification of the seismic behavior and failure of towers under seismic loading is complex. This strongly depends on many factors such as soil characteristics, geometry, mechanical properties of masonry and heavy mass, as well as the earthquake frequency content. A deep understanding of these aspects is the key for the correct seismic vulnerability evaluation of towers and to design the most suitable retrofitting measure. Recent tendencies on the seismic retrofitting of historical structures by means of prestressing are related to the use of smart materials. The most famous cases of application of prestressing in towers were discussed. Compared to horizontal prestressing, vertical post-tensioning is aimed at improving the seismic behavior of towers by reducing damage with the application of an overall distribution of compressive stresses at key locations.

최근 국내에서는 고강도 강연선이 실구조물에 적용되는 사례가 늘어나고 있다. 이 연구에서는 LNG 저장탱크에 통상적으로 적용되는 1,860 MPa급 강연선을 2,400 MPa급 고강도 강연선으로 대체할 때 쉬스 배치 간격 증가에 따른 구조적인 영향을 고찰해 보았다. 먼저, LNG 탱크의 원통형 벽체를 모사하는 유한요소모델에 원환텐던 및 수직텐던의 프리스트레싱 효과를 등가하중으로 가하되 프리스트레싱 효과의 총합은 일정한 상태에서 텐던의 간격 및 긴장력을 조절한 결과, 고강도 강연선을 적용해도 설계 시 요구되는 소정의 응력 분포를 구현할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, LNG 탱크 벽체 일부분을 모사하는 실대형 실험체를 제작하고 15.2 mm 직경 고강도 강연선이 31개 삽입된 쉬스를 2개 배치하여 매우 높은 수준의 프리스트레싱 힘이 콘크리트에 적절히 전달되는지 관찰하였다. 한편, 세계 최대 용량인 270,000 kl급 LNG 탱크의 유한요소모델을 구축하고 고강도 강연선을 적용했을 때의 프리스트레싱 효과를 일반 강연선의 경우와 비교하였으며, LNG 누출 사고 시에도 여유압축응력 및 여유압축구간과 같은 수밀성 규정을 만족함을 확인하였다. 이 연구결과는 2,400 MPa급 고강도 강연선이 실제 LNG 탱크에 적용될 때 유용하게 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

In order to constrain the railway roadbed settlement which causes track irregularity, and thus threats running stability and ride quality, advanced Back-to-Back (BTB) reinforced retaining wall was numerically analyzed as railway roadbed structure. This study is intended to improve conventional Back-to-Back reinforced retaining wall as the technology which would reduce the roadbed settlement in a way of constraining the lateral displacement of its prestressed vertical facing and inducing arching effects in roadbed (backfill) placed between masonry diaphragm wall and vertical facing. As a result of numerical analysis, it was found that the roadbed settlement was reduced by 10% due to the prestressed vertical facing and embedded masonry diaphragm wall of the advanced Back-to-Back reinforced retaining wall system.
