Abstract

Prestressed concrete (PSC) bridges are vulnerable to corrosion and fracture of tendons, and in particular, structures using the internal post-tensioned with grouted system have difficulties in maintenance due to limitations of inspection. In this study, the actual behavior of PSC I girder bridge was analyzed according to tendon damage. The target PSC I girder bridge, an decommissioned highway bridge of upper and lower bridges, had the service period of 33 years and 20 years, respectively. Deflection and concrete strain were measured according to the location of damaged tendon and loading method. Regardless of the age of the bridge, its structural performance decreased when the damaged tendon was closer to the center of the girder. The change in behavior increased as the truck load approached to the girder where the tendon cut. If the load was applied to the adjacent girder where the tendon was cut, the structural performance was likely to be maintained due to the influence of the entire structural system. The change in deflection was difficult to observe visually, while the concrete strain exceeded the cracking strain. Therefore, it is recommended that future monitoring and inspection of PSC I girder bridges should focus on concrete strain or cracking.

프리스트레스트 콘크리트(PSC) 교량은 긴장재 부식과 파단에 취약하며, 특히 내부 포스트텐션 형식을 사용하는 구조물은 내부 긴장재 조사의 한계로 유지관리에 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고속도로 교량의 약 35%를 차지하는 PSC I 거더교의 트럭 재하 실험을 통하여 긴장재 손상에 따른 실제 거동을 분석하고 유지관리 전략을 제시하고자 하였다. 대상 PSC I 거더교는 고속도로의 폐교량이며, 상·하행교량의 공용기간은 각각 33년, 20년이다. 단부 및 중앙부 등 긴장재 손상 위치와 정적 및 동적, 거더별 하중 재하 방법에 따라 처짐과 콘크리트 변형률을 계측하였다. 교량의 노후화와 관계없이 긴장재 손상이 거더 중앙부에 가까울수록 교량의 구조 성능은 감소하였다. 트럭 하중이 긴장재 절단이 발생한 거더에 근접될수록 거동의 변화가 증가하였다. 긴장재 절단 인접거더에 하중이 재하 될 경우 교량 전체 구조계의 영향으로 구조적 성능은 유지 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 거더 중앙부 긴장재가 절단된 경우 처짐의 변화량은 육안 관찰이 어려운 수준인 반면, 절단 위치의 콘크리트 변형률은 균열발생 변형률을 초과하였다. 따라서 향후 PSC I 거더교의 모니터링 및 유지관리 시에 콘크리트 변형률 또는 균열에 중점을 두는 것이 효율적이라 판단된다.
