This study is the developed prediction of residual effective prestress force of prestressed concrete beam bridges. Developed prediction method is based on the center camber of prestressed concrete beam, structural design. report of various PSC beams, construction reference materials of PSC beams. Evaluation of residual effective prestress force by developed method is compared with evaluation by structural design. This comparison results shows that this developed method is very effective method. Therefore prediction of residual effective prestress force by this developed method will be used for evaluation of the rating of various PSC beam bridges(road bridges and railway bridges).

The companion paper presents an analytical model to predict behaviors of PSC-Beam bridges according to continuity of spans. This paper aims at providing several examples of its application to PSC-Beam bridge. In this regard, many uncertainties affecting to the continuity of spans (such as the ultimate shrinkage strain of slab and girders, the prestressing creep of girders, and the time adopting prestressing force) are analysis in detail. Moreover, to increase the serviceability and to remove th inherent structural defects including the cracking at interior supports, a necessity for the parametric studies of PSC-Beam bridges reflecting the construction sequence is emphasized.

A lot of PSC railway bridges have been constructed in countries and, they are considered as cost-effective and less maintenance-demanded structures. However, recently several collapse of PSC bridges happened in Europe show that PSC bridges have some serious maintenance problems related to tendon corrosion and wire fractures. Furthermore, any reliable NDT method is not presented until recently. In this paper, AE techniques are investigated for detection of wire fractures in PSC beam. Using long-term monitoring AE techniques, two acoustic signals of wire fractures in a PSC beam are obtained. These data are compared to other noise signals. Based on the test results, the characteristics of the AE signals are classified and wire fracture signals are figured out among the other AE signals. As a result, AE techniques are certainly exposed to tendon fracture sound, and application of AE techniques are better than any other non-destructive method.

노후화된 PSC Beam 교량은 개선된 보강방안이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 성능저하가 발생된 노후 PSC Beam 교량을 대상으로 PSC Beam 교량의 보강형을 폐단면 박스형태로 변환하여 이차합성 구조화함으로써, PSC Beam 교량의 강성을 안정적으로 증가시킬 수 있는 박스형 보강방안을 제안하였다. 제안된 보강방안과 기존의 외부프리스트레스 도입공법을 결합하여 보강할 경우, 보강효과를 정량적으로 규명하기 위해 시공단계해석에 따른 시간 의존적 정밀해석을 수행하였다. 성능개선을 위해 제안된 박스형 보강방안 적용 시 보강방법에 따라 전단면 및 휨 보강과 같은 다양한 형태의 보강방안을 제시한 후, 각각의 보강방안에 대해 이차합성 효과에 따른 상향캠버 및 부재응력 특성을 평가하였다. 또한 내하력 평가를 수행하여 내하율을 검토함으로서, 개선된 PSC Beam 교량의 구조 안전성을 정량적으로 평가하였다.

This paper deals with behaviors of PSC-Beam bridges according to continuity of spans. To analyze the long-term behavior of bridges, an analytical model which can simulate the effects of creep, the shrinkage of concrete, and the cracking of concrete slabs in the negative moment regions is introduced. To consider the different material properties across the sectional depth, the layer approach in which a section is divided into imaginary concrete and steel layers is adopted. The element stiffness matrix is constructed according to the assumed displacement field formulation, and the creep and shrinkage effects of concrete are considered in accordance with the first-order algorithm based on the expansion of the creep compliance. Correlation studies between analytical and experimental results are conducted with the objective to establish the validity of the proposed model. Besides, many uncertainties related to the continuity of spans are analyzed to minimize deck cracking at interior supports.

The goal of this study is to show the way to increase the safety of deteriorated PSC beam bridges by the to-box reinforcing method. This method is to change the open girder section into the closed box section by connecting bottom flanges of neighboring PSC girders with the precast panels embedding PS tendons at the anchor block. The box section is composed of three concrete members with different casting ages, RC slab, PSC beam, precast panel. This different aging requires a time-dependent analysis considering construction sequences. Reliability index and failure probability are produced by the AFOSM reliability analysis. Transversely five schemes and longitudinally two schemes are considered. The full reinforcing scheme, transversely and longitudinally, shows the highest reliability index, but it requires more cost for retrofit. The partial reinforcing scheme 4, 4-1 are recommended in this study as the economically best scheme.

This paper introduces improved prestressed concrete (PSC) girders for the railway bridges. In order to improve performance of conventional PSC girders, various types of PSC girders are either under development or have already been applied in railway bridges. Incrementally prestressed concrete girder is one of these newly developed girders. According to the design concept, these types of PSC girders have the advantages of requiring less self-weight while having the capability of longer spans. However, the tensional failure of top flange is one of the critical issues at the first prestressing stage. To effectively provide initial section stiffness of PSC girders, concrete block on the top flange is used in this study. The efficiency of the proposed structures, compared with conventional girders and improved ones, is successfully demonstrated in the example.

이 연구는 2경간 연속 PSC-Beam 교량의 경간 내측 지지점의 바닥판에서 발생할 수 있는 균열의 제어에 관한 내용을 다루고 있다. PSC-Beam 교량은 주형인 PSC-Beam을 거치시킨후 바닥판을 현장타설 콘크리트로 시공된다. 이로 인하여 주형 콘크리트와 바닥판 콘크리트의 시간의존적 거동차이, 주형의 연속화에 따른 거동 등에 의하여 부모멘트가 가장 크게 걸리는 지점부에서 균열이 쉽게 발생된다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 2경간 연속 PSC-Beam 교량의 연속화에 따른 거동을 수치적 방법으로 해석하여 지점부 바닥판의 균열거동이 예측되었다. 이를 위하여 해석모델에는 콘크리트의 시간의존적 현상인 크리프와 건조수축이 고려되었으며, 2경간 연속 PSC-Beam 교량의 거동에 영향을 나타내는 여러 가지 인자가 고려되어 해석되었다. 끝으로 콘크리트의 모델식을 이용하여 지점부 균열을 억제하기 위한 현장에서 관리가능한 방안이 수치적으로 제안되었다.

In the last decades, research efforts have been spent to investigate the effect of prestressing on the dynamic behaviour of prestressed concrete (PSC) beams. Whereas no agreement has been reached among the achievements obtained by different Researchers and among the theoretical and the experimental results for simply supported beams, very few researches have addressed this problem in continuous PSC beams. This topic is, indeed, worthy of consideration bearing in mind that many relevant bridges and viaducts in the road and railway networks have been designed and constructed with this structural scheme. In this paper the attention is, thus, focused on the dynamic features of continuous PSC bridges taking into account the effect of prestressing. This latter, in fact, contributes to the modification of the distribution of the bending stress along the beam, also by means of the secondary moments, and influences the flexural stiffness of the beam itself. The dynamic properties of a continuous, two spans bridge connected by a nonlinear spring have been extracted by solving an eigenvalue problem in different linearized configurations corresponding to different values of the prestress force. The stiffness of the nonlinear spring has been calculated considering the mechanical behaviour of the PSC beam in the uncracked and in the cracked stage. The application of the proposed methodology to several case studies indicates that the shift from the uncracked to the cracked stage due to an excessive prestress loss is clearly detectable looking at the variation of the dynamic properties of the beam. In service conditions, this shift happens for low values of the prestress losses (up to 20%) for structure with a high value of the ratio between the permanent load and the total load, as happens for instance in long span, continuous box bridges. In such conditions, the detection of the dynamic properties can provide meaningful information regarding the structural state of the PSC beam.
