Recently, the using PSC with external unbonded tendons is increased. However, the behavior of external unbonded tendons is different with that of bonded internal tendon at ultimate state by compatibility condition, the slip with friction at deviator and the change of tendon eccentricity e.t.c., So, the analytical research considered the effect of these inherent characters was performed and the tendency of external unbonded tendons was estimated by numerical examples. By the analytical results, load-deflection relationship and stress increment of external unbonded tendons were similar to those of internal bonded tendon at initial elastic behavior state. Those characters were, however, smaller than those character of internal bonded tendons. For external unbonded tendons, if the 1 deviator which is positioned at maximum moment point and more 2 deviators which are position between maximum moment point and support are existed, the flexural behavior is similar to internal bonded tendons.

A numerical procedure for the geometrical and material nonlinear analysis of concrete beams prestressed with external tendons is described, where the effects of external prestressing are treated as the equivalent loads applied on the concrete beams. The geometrical nonlinearity is considered not only the eccentricity variations of external tendons (second-order effects) but also the large displacement effects of the structure. The numerical method can predict the nonlinear response of externally prestressed concrete beams throughout the entire loading history with considerable accuracy. An evaluation of second-order effects of externally prestressed concrete beams is carried out using the proposed analysis. The analysis shows that the second-order effects have significant influence on the response characteristics of externally prestressed concrete beams. They lead to inferior ultimate load and strength capacities and a lower ultimate stress increase in tendons. Based on the current analysis, it is recommended that, for simply-supported externally prestressed beams with straight horizontal tendons, one deviator at midspan instead of two deviators at one-third span be furnished to minimize these effects.

The external post-tension technique is one of the best strengthening methods for reinforcement and improvement of the various steel structures and substructure components such as beams. In the present work, the load carrying capacity of the post-tensioned tapered steel beams with external shape memory alloy (SMA) tendons are studied. 3D nonlinear finite element method with ABAQUS software is used to determine the effects of the increase in the flexural strength, and the improvement of the load carrying capacity. The effect of the different parameters, such as geometrical characteristics and the post-tension force applied to the tendons are also studied in this research. The results reveal that the external post-tension with SMA tendons in comparison with the steel tendons causes a significant improvement of the loading capacity. According to this, using SMA tendon for the reinforcement of the tapered beams causes a decrease in weight of these structures and as a consequence causes economic benefits for their application. This method can be used extensively for steel beams due to low executive costs and simplicity of the operation for post-tension.

External prestressing has been applied to both new construction and retrofitting of existing reinforced and prestressed concrete structures. Continuous beams are preferred to simply supported beams because of economy, fewer movement joints and possible benefits from moment redistribution. However, this paper argues that continuous prestressed concrete beams with external unbonded tendons demonstrate different full-range behaviour compared to reinforced concrete (RC) beams. Applying the same design approach for RC to external prestressing may lead to design with a lower safety margin. To better understand the behaviour of continuous prestressed concrete beams with unbonded tendons, an experimental investigation is performed in which nine such specimens are tested to failure. The full-range behaviour is investigated with reference to moment-curvature relationship and moment redistribution. The amounts of moment redistribution measured in the experiments are compared with those allowed by BS 8110, EC2 and ACI 318. Design equations are also proposed to estimate the curvature ductility index of unbonded prestressed concrete beams.

본 논문에서는 2경간 강합성교량의 내하력을 향상시키기 위해, 외부 긴장재로 보강하는 방법을 제시하였다. 긴장재를 직선 배치하였을 경우, 외부하중으로 인한 증가 프리스트레스력을 가상일의 원리로 구하였고, 증가 프리스트레스를 고려한 내하율 산정식을 제시하였다. 제안된 내하율 산정식으로부터, 긴장재 개수와 초기 긴장력의 계산방법을 제시하였다. 본 방법을 2경간 강합성교량에 적용하여, 산정식의 타당성과 합리성을 검증하였다.

The development of external prestressing methods has been one of the major trends in the concrete bridge constructions over the past decades. One of the promising methods to enhance the flexural strength of a externally prestressed girder is to place the tendons with large eccentricities. The analysis and design of composite girders prestressed by external tendons involve difficulties related mainly to the position of anchorages and the construction sequences. This study was conducted on the concrete bridges reinforced by the continuous girders and the external prestressing. The test results in this study showed that the external prestressing of a composite girder increased the range of the elastic behavior, reduced deflections, increased ultimate strength, and added to the redundancy by providing the multiple stress paths.

본 연구에서는 장기공용 중 외부강선보강공법에 의하여 보강된 PSC Beam교량에 대한 강선 파단 시험을 통하여 보강효과를 분석하였다. 외부강선 보강효과를 분석하기 위하여 기 보강된 강선을 인위적으로 절단하면서, 교량의 처짐과 변형률을 측정하였다. 또한 강선절단 전과 후에 재하시험을 실시하여 교량의 거동변화를 평가하였다. 실험결과에 의하면 외부강선 절단 전과 후의 재하시험을 통하여 보강효과가 교량의 거동특성을 크게 변화시키지는 않지만, 보강시의 긴장력에 의하여 고유진동수는 증가하였다. 외부강선 절단시의 처짐과 응력 계측결과로부터 보강효과가 충분히 유지되고 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 구조해석 결과와도 잘 일치하였다. 따라서 외부강선을 이용하여 노후교량을 보강할 경우 정밀구조해석을 통하여 그 효과를 예측할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Recently, the external prestressed concrete structures are increasingly being built. The mechanical behavior of prestressed concrete beams with external tendon is different from that of normal bonded PSC beams in that the increment of tendon stress was derived by whole member behavior. By this reason, the ultimate stress of external tendon is smaller than that of bonded tendon or internal unbonded tendon. The purposes of the present paper are therefore to improve the mechanical behavior of external unbonded tendon by using partially bonded external tendon and to evaluate the flexural behavior of partially bonded external tendon by the flexural member experiment. From the experimental results, before flexural cracking, there was no difference between external unbonded, partially bonded and bonded tendons. However, after cracking, yielding load of reinforcement, ultimate load, and tendon stress were increased in the sequence of external unbonded, partially bonded and bonded tendon members. The equation of ACI-318 and AASHTO 1994 were not matched with test results and had no correlations. So the newly proposed equation will be needed including the consideration of tendon profile, tendon bonded type, and so on. The proposed partially bonded external tendon in this paper will be a effective basis for the evaluation of external tendons in construction and design.

Since various methods for repairing and rehabilitating have been applied to damaged bridges to increase their load carrying capacity, many researches on the methods have been widely carried out. In particular, In terms of applicability, strengthening efficiency and economical efficiency, external tendons using lifting hole anchorage system is the most effective method among the aforementioned methods. In order to verify the strengthening effectiveness, flexural experiments on the beams strengthened with external tendons using lifting hole anchorage system were carried out. The experiments were conducted on two groups of systems, the existing and the proposed external tendons using lifting hole anchorage system. In addition, An evaluation on ductility of the beams were conducted in this paper.

이 논문에서는 외부강선으로 긴장된 PSC 거더의 비선형 해석방법에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 외부강선은 정착부와 편향부에서만 부재와 일체로 거동을 하고 정착부-편향부, 편향부-편향부 사이에서 독립적인 거동을 보이는 특성으로 인해 구조물의 처짐이 증가할 경우 부재와 외부강선의 편심량이 감소하여 모멘트가 변화하는 2차 효과(secondary effect)가 발생한다. 또한 편향부에서 외부강선의 인장력 차이로 인해 슬립(slip)이 발생할 경우 외부강선의 인장력이 재분배되어 복잡한 비선형 거동을 보이게 된다. 이 논문에서는 정착부-편향부, 편향부-편향부 사이의 외부강선을 여러 개의 곡선요소로 모사하고, 편향부에서의 마찰력과 driving force(미끄러지는 힘)의 평형관계를 이용하여 외부강선의 인장력을 재분배함으로써 편향부에서의 슬립효과를 고려하였다. 이 논문에서 제시한 외부강선의 유한요소모델과 해석방법을 저자들이 개발한 시공단계를 고려한 PSC 뼈대의 비선형 해석 프로그램에 통합하고, 외부강선으로 긴장된 PSC 보의 해석에 적용하여 외부강선에 대한 유한요소모델 및 해석방법의 정당성과 적용성을 확인하였다. 또한 편향부의 수와 편향부에서의 마찰계수에 따른 극한거동을 검토해본 결과, 편향부의 수가 증가할수록 PSC 보의 항복하중과 극한하중은 증가하였으며, 편향부에서의 마찰계수에 따른 극한거동은 외부강선과 편향부 사이의 마찰력으로 인해 부재에 전달되는 모멘트의 영향에 따라 마찰계수가 적정한 값일 경우에 극한내력이 최대치를 보이는 것을 확인하였다.
