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.

In recent years, due to the many advantages cable-stayed bridges have often constructed in medium and long span. These advantages can be listed as an aesthetically pleasing appearance, economic and easy construction, etc. The main structural elements of cable-stayed bridges are listed as deck, pylon, cables and foundation. Perhaps one of the most vital and expensive of these structural elements is stay-cables. Stay-cables ensure the allowable displacement and distribution of bending moments along the bridge deck with prestressing force. Therefore the optimum design of the stay-cables and prestressing force are very important in achieving the performance expected from the cable-stayed bridges. This paper aims to obtain the stay-cables size and prestressing force optimization of the cable-stayed bridge. For this purpose, single pylon and fan type cable configuration Manavgat Cable-Stayed Bridge was selected as an example. The three dimensional (3D) finite element model (FEM) of the bridge was created with SAP2000. Analysis of the 3D FEM of the bridge was conducted under the different combined effects of the self-weight of the structural element, prestressing force of stay-cable and live load. Stay-cable stress and deck displacement were taken into account as constraints for the optimization problem. To optimize this existing bridge a metaheuristic algorithm named Jaya was used in the optimization process. 3D FEM of the selected bridge was repeatedly analyzed by using Open Applicable Programming Interface (OAPI) properties of SAP2000. To carry out the optimization process the developed program which integrates the Jaya algorithm and the required codes for calling SAP2000 is coded in MATLAB. At the end of the study, the total weight of the stay-cables was reduced more than 40% according to existing stay cables under loads taken into account.

Prestressed composite steel-concrete beams are still a technology restricted to repair sites of large-scale structures and spans. One of the reasons for that is the absence of standard frameworks and publications regarding their design and implementation. In addition, the primary normative codes do not address this subject directly, which might be related to a scarcity of papers indicating methods of design that would align the two technics, composite beams and external prestressing. In this context, this paper proposes methods to analyze the sizing of prestressed composite beams submitted to pre-tension and post-tension with a straight or polynomial layout cable. This inquiry inspected a hundred and twenty models of prestressed composite beams according to its prestressing technology and the eccentricity and value of the prestressing force. The evaluation also included the ratio between span and height of the steel profile, thickness and typology of the concrete slab, and layout of the prestressing cables. As for the results, it was observed that the eccentricity of the prestressing force doesn't significantly influence the bending resistance. In prestressed composite beams subjected to a sagging moment, the ratio L/d can reach 35 and 30 for steel-concrete composite slabs and solid concrete slabs, respectively. Considering the negative bending moment resistance, the value of the L/d ratio must be less than or equal to 25, regardless of the type of slab. When it comes to the value of the prestressing force, a variation greater than 10% causes a 2.6% increase in the positive bending moment resistance and a 4% decrease in the negative bending moment resistance. The pre-tensioned composite beams showed a superior response to flexural-compression and excessive compression limit states than the post-tensioned ones.

일반적으로 PSC 교량은 여러개의 강선을 포함하며, 이러한 강선들의 긴장순서에 따라 정착부의 파열력의 크기는 좌우된다. 그럼에도 불구하고 강선긴장순서에 대한 연구부족으로 강선긴장시 긴장순서를 설계자의 경험이나 직관에 의하여 결정하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 정착부의 파열력을 산정하는 여러 방법에 대하여 고찰한 후, 가장 합리적인 해석방법을 선택하여 PSC 교량중에서 가장 대표적인 PSC빔교와 PSC박스거더교에 대하여 해석을 통한 합리적인 긴장순서를 결정하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 방법은 PSC교량 정착부의 파열력을 최소화하는 강선긴장순서 결정에 유용한 방법이 될 것이다.

In this study, experimental, numerical, and analytical approaches were carried out to evaluate the behavior and prestressing effect of prestressed composite beam by external tendon and cover plate. Behavior of prestressed composite beam, load-carrying capacity, effects of prestressing, and ultimate strength were estimated. The contribution of the section increase of the prestressing method using tendon was less than the prestressing method using cover plate. In accordance with numerical and analytical approaches, the ultimate strength of the prestressed composite beam is shown to be the same value because strength is determined according to the plastic resistance moment and the plastic neutral axis; however, both plastic resistance moment and neutral axis are not affected by prestressing force but affected by sectional stiffness of the prestressing member. Based on these approaches, we concluded that the prestressing method using tendon can be useful in applications without an increase in self-weight, and the prestressing method using high-strength cover plate can be applied to reduce the deflection of the composite beam. The prestressing method using high-strength cover plate can also be used to induce prestress of the composite beam in the case of a large deflection due to a smaller sectional stiffness of the composite beam.

Existing results of some related experiments report that variation in the magnitude of prestressing force may leads to a change of dynamic properties of a PSC girder system. Since a usual dynamic equilibrium equation doesn't explain these phenomena, a modified dynamic equilibrium equation is derived in this paper by considering prestressing force as an internal energy of the system. The derived equation is applied to a modified beam element model is proposed. The proposed model validated by comparing the natural frequencies computed by the model with those from an existing experiment result.

PSC(Prestressed Concrete)는 전단면을 유효하게 사용할 수 있으므로 교량 및 암거와 같은 구조물에 가장 많이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 내부의 텐던은 항상 높은 인장하중을 받는 상태에 노출되므로 부식환경에서 더욱 주의를 해야한다. 본 연구는 동일한 부식조건에서 프리스트레싱 하중에 따라 변화하는 부식전류 및 내력저하에 대한 연구이다. 이를 위해 초기 프리스트레싱 하중의 0.0%, 20.0%, 40.0%수준으로 가력한 뒤, ICM(Impressed Current Method)를 이용하여 촉진부식실험을 수행하였다. 초기 하중이 증가할수록 부식전류와 부식량은 증가하였으며 최대하중의 감소가 선형적으로 발생하였다. 초기하중이 20%에서 40%로 증가할 때, 부식전류량은 124.4%와 168.0% 수준으로 증가하였으며, 최종 파괴시의 하중은 87.8% 및 78.4%수준으로 감소하였다. 동일한 전압인가 시 부식속도와 내력저하는 인가한 초기 프리스트레싱 하중에 비례함을 알 수 있다.

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.

본 논문에서는 PSC 거더의 Prestress를 관리하기 위하여 EM 센서를 활용한 PSC 텐던 긴장력 손실 관리 기법을 소개한다. PSC 거더는 콘크리트 거더에 Prestress를 도입함으로써 기존 콘크리트 거더보다 높은 성능을 가지며 보다 저비용의 거더 설계가 가능해 짐으로 현재 많은 교량에 사용되고 있는 거더이다. 그러나 PS 텐던의 긴장력 관리는 거더 성능 관리에 있어 매우 중요한 항목이나 현재는 시공시 설계 긴장력의 도입 여부만을 검증한 후 공용시에는 그 관리가 이루어지지 않는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 강자성 재료가 인장력에 따라 비투자율이 변화하는 특성을 이용하여 EM 센서를 이용해 PS 텐던의 투자율을 계측하여 PS 텐던의 긴장력을 계측하는 기법을 제안하였다. PSC 거더 내부에서 PS 텐던의 투자율을 계측하기 위하여 EM 센서 시작품을 제작하였으며 MTS 실험을 통해 PS 텐던으로 주로 사용되는 7연선 1가닥의 0, 40, 80, 120, 160, 200kN의 긴장력에 따른 투자율 변화를 계측하였다. 계측 결과 각 긴장력 단계마다 EM 센서를 통해 계측된 B-H Loop가 정량적으로 변화하는 것을 확인하였으며 계측된 투자율과 긴장력을 회귀분석한 결과 투자율과 긴장력은 선형 관계를 나타내었다. 이를 활용하여 EM 센서를 이용하여 PS 텐던의 긴장력 관리가 가능함을 검증하였다.
