A technique strengthened to the reinforced concrete members using the external post- tensioned method offers the advantages in speed and simplicity of installation over other, established, strengthening techniques. But this technique has many unreasonable facts. This paper are analyzed an unreasonable facts of the previous external post-tension technique. The purpose of this paper proposed Bow system as the new technique strengthened to the reinforced concrete members. The Bow system which is better technique than the previous technique was introduced with the experimental/analytical data.

An experimental study was conducted to investigate the effect of applied tensile force and temperature on the permeability of magnetic flux in prestressing steel. The permeability of magnetic flux is the ratio at which the magnetic flux between two points passes. The prestressing steel used in these experiments included a 7-mm PS wire mainly used for cable-stayed bridges and a 12.7-mm PS strand for prestressed concrete bridges. The experiments to extract the permeability of the magnetic flux of steel wire and strand were conducted under various tensile levels and temperature conditions. From the experimental results, it was observed that the permeability of magnetic flux of the PS tension material was linearly proportional to the applied tensile stress level, and inversely proportional to the temperature. If the experimental relationship among the magnetic permeability, temperature, and prestressing ratio of a PS tension material is known in advance, the current tension stress level on PS members can be evaluated by measuring solely the magnetic permeability and temperature.

This paper suggests a modified debonding failure model for the externally bonded prestressed CFRP plate strengthening system. In order to reduce the error that may occur in the experimental results, statistical analysis of the experimental results produced by previous researchers was conducted to propose a debonding failure model. The experimental results of beams strengthened with bonded CFRP plates have made it possible to verify the debonding failure occurring before the final failure in the prestressing system. The corresponding strain increased with the effective prestress. Accordingly, the debonding failure model was modified by considering the effective prestress so as to fit with the CFRP prestressing system.

Post-tensioned prestressed concrete members experience immediate prestress losses as well as time-dependent prestress losses such as creep, dry shrinkage and relaxation. In addition, the stress of the upper and lower parts of the member changes due to the change in dead load due to the replacement of the upper slab and/or pavement. Such changes in fiber stress may affect the safety of the member, and it is necessary to adjust the prestressing force. Therefore, in this study, a screw type of re-tensioning post-tension kit is proposed, and it is verified that the safety against load and the stability against strain are satisfied through the load transfer test specified in EAD160004 and KCI-PS101.

Corrosion of prestressing tendons and wire fractures in grouted post-tensioned prestressed concrete bridges have been considered as a serious safety problem. In bridge evaluation the condition of prestressing tendons should be inspected, and if corroded tendons are found, the loss of tendon area should be included when we calculate the ultimate strength. In the previous study, it was evaluated that continuous acoustic monitoring techniques could be considered as a reliable non-destructive method for detecting wire fractures of fully grouted post-tensioned prestressing tendons. In the present study, an experimental test was performed for detecting wire fractures of post-tensioned prestressing tendons which are prestressed lower than current design level. A 10 m prestressed concrete beam was fabricated, which included two tendons prestressed 66 percentage and 40 percentage of tensile strength, respectively. The corrosion of two tendons was induced by an accelerated corrosion equipment and the test beam was monitored by using seven acoustic sensors and a continuous acoustic monitoring system. From each prestressing tendon, two acoustic signals of wire fractures were successfully detected and source locations were estimated within 20 mm error. Based on the test results, it is considered that continuous acoustic monitoring techniques can be applied to detect low-prestressed wire fracture in fully grouted post-tensioned prestressed concrete beams.

본 논문은 비선형 스트럿-타이 모델에 의한 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 정착부의 거동해석 및 설계에 관한 연구이다. 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 구조물의 정착부는 긴장재의 인장력 도입으로 인해 비교적 작은 단면에 큰 집중하중으로 발생하는 매우 중요한 구조부위이며, 기존의설계가 비교적 다른 구조부위의설계에 비하여 경험적으로 이루어지고 있을 뿐 만 아니라 해석에도 많은 시간과 계산량이 소요되는 단점이 있다. 비선형 스트럿-타이 모델을 대상 정착부의 비선형 재료거동을 따르도록 비선형 해석을 실시하여 설계를 수행하고 구조물의 극한하중을 추정하는 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 긴장력이 정착부의 중앙에 도입되는 경우, 편심으로 도입되는 경우, 다중 정착구가 존재하는 경우에 대하여 선형과 비선형 스트럿-타이 모델을 구성하여 정착부의 역학적 거동을 고찰하였고 실험결과와 비교하였다. 비교로부터 비선형 모델을 사용한 경우 선형 모델을 사용한 경우보다 안정성을 유지하면서 경제적인 설계가 가능하고 추정극학강도도 실험결과에 더욱 근접함을 알았다.

Currently, composite construction of prestressed Precast Concrete (PC) and Cast-In-Place (CIP) concrete with different concrete strengths are frequently used in the modular construction. However, current design codes do not clearly define shear design methods for such composite beams. In this present study, simply supported prestressed PC-CIP composite beams without vertical shear reinforcement or only with horizontal shear reinforcement were tested to evaluate the effect of prestressing on the shear strength and the shear design method for such composite members. The test variables were the area ratio of PC and CIP concretes, prestressing force, shear span-to-depth ratio, and shear reinforcement ratio. The results showed that the shear strength was increased by the increase of prestressing force and prestressed PC area, and the decrease of shear span-to-depth ratio.

The increasing sectional stiffness and inducing prestress method of continuous steel box girder using modular CFT members use the restoring force of the CFT module generated from removing the prestressing bars in the CFT module after integrating the prestressed CFT module with the lower steel plate of the steel box girders as a prestressing force. The integrated CFT module in the steel box girder can improve the sectional stiffness of the continuous steel box girder section. To examine the applicability of the introduction of prestressing to the integrated steel box girder using the CFT module, in this study, inducing prestressing tests were conducted using CFT modules for steel plate specimens simulating the lower steel plate of the continuous steel box girder, and FE analyses were conducted for inducing prestressing tests. In addition, to confirm the effect of inducing prestress to the actual steel box girder and increasing sectional stiffness by the CFT modules, FE analyses for the actually applicable continuous steel box section were carried out depending on prestressing force and sectional conditions of the CFT modules, FE analysis results were compared.

A pressure vessel is a cylindrical container that accommodates a pressurized fluid. In real life, there are propane canisters and butane canisters. According to data from the Korea Gas Safety Corporation, The number of domestic gas accidents is average 33 cases of domestic gas accidents occurred per year and 20.8 for mobile butane gases. The purpose of this study was to investigate a method to prevent this kind of explosion. Common studies include forced drain through safe holes, forced separation of butane canisters, and manufacturing of high-strength steel. This paper uses a concept that reduces stress inside the cylinder using prestressed method that precede compression. In other words, install a long liner in both ends of the pressure vessel. I want to develop a safety device that acts like a gas intermediate valve.

This study was performed to estimate the anchorage behavior for Bi Prestressed Concrete Girder(Bicon girder) which could introduce effectively prestressed forces into concrete girders. A bicon girder is manufactured by means of introducing pure bending moment that prestress simultaneously the compressive member(steel bar) and the tensile member(steel tendon). Therefore, the steel bar and the steel tendon must be unified in both ends and compressive and tensile force be offset. Anchorage dimension of 6 test specimens was designed under PTI specification which defined maximum stress and deformation to estimate structural behavior. Test results showed that the stress and the deformation of anchorage were within limits if the steel bar behaviored elastically.
