An experimental study was carried out to estimate development lengths of the prestressing strand in pretensioned beams. Recent studies had indicated that current desing provision were inadequate. Objective of this investigation is to determine the effect of strand diameter and concrete cover in pretensioned beams. Strand of the 1.52cm diameter is more useful and economic than that of the 12.7mm diameter, but current provision does not include 15.2mm diameter strand in experimental data. Because the property of strand has been developed, current provision need to be improved. Based on the experimental data, it was determined that bond failure would be prevented if no cracking occured in transfer zone of a pretensioned strand.

The extensive use of pretensioned prestressed concrete in the modem construction industry, together with wider application of pretensioned components for structural purposes requires some important consideration on the adequate transfer of prestress force into the concrete, especially around the end zones of pretensioned member. The main objective of this paper is to study the effects of various important parameters on the bond characteristics of prestressing strand around the end zone of high strength pretensioned concrete members. To this end, a comprehensive experimental program has been set up. The principal test variables considered were strand diameter, concrete strength, concrete cover size. The present study provides valuable test data for the realistic and accurate determination of transfer length, which can be efficiently used for improving the design equation of transfer length in pretensioned prestressed concrete members.

Pretensioned concrete (PC) is widely used in contemporary construction. Bond of prestressing strand is significant for composite-action between the strand and concrete in the transfer and flexural-bond zones of PC members. This study develops a new methodology for quantifying the bond of 18-mm prestressing strand in PC members based on results of a pullout test, the Standard Test for Strand Bond (STSB). The experimental program includes: (a) twenty-four pretensioned concrete beams, using a wide range of concrete compressive strength; and (b) twelve untensioned pullout specimens. By testing beams, the transfer length, flexural-bond length, and development length were all measured. In the STSB, the pullout forces for the strands were measured. Experimental results indicate a significant relationship between the bond of prestressing strand to the code-established design parameters, such as transfer length and development length. However, the code-predictions can be unconservative for the prestressing strands having a low STSB pullout force. Three simplified bond equations are proposed for the design applications of PC members.

In recent times, large strands have become increasingly popular in the pretensioned prestressed industry and have found wide applications in varying geometries of sections. However, use of such elements and their behavior in several situations have been questioned with respect to anchoring of these strands in concrete. In addition, the experimental results available on bond are limited and information relating to large strands is rare. This study was conducted to determine the influence of some of the inadequately examined properties on transfer length of prestressing strand. The principle variables considered were strand size, concrete strength and clear bottom cover. The experimental results indicate clearly that concrete strength at transfer and cover size influence transfer length significantly. An attempt was made to suggest prediction equation for transfer length including above parameters.

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.

Modular steel buildings consist of prefabricated room-sized structural units that are manufactured offsite and installed onsite. The inter-module connections must fulfill the assembly construction requirements and soundly transfer the external loads. This work proposes an innovative assembled connection suitable for modular buildings with concrete-filled steel tube columns. The connection uses pretensioned strands and plugin bars to vertically connect the adjacent modular columns. The moment-transferring performance of this inter-module connection was studied through monotonic and cyclic loading tests. The results showed that because of the assembly construction, the connected sections were separated under lateral bending, and the prestressed inter-module connection performed as a weak semirigid connection. The moment strength at the early loading stage originated primarily from the contact bonding mechanism with the infilled concrete, and the postyield strength depended mainly on the tensioned strands. The connection displayed a self-centering-like behavior that the induced deformation was reversed during unloading. The energy dissipation originated primarily from frictional slipping of the plugin bars and steel strands. The moment transferring ability was closely related to the section dimension and the arrangements of the plugin bars and steel strands. A simplified strength calculation and evaluation method was also proposed, and the effectiveness was validated with the test data.

본 논문에서는 전달길이에 영향을 미치는 인자에 따라 프리텐션 부재가 받는 동적 충격에 의한 영향을 실험적으로 고찰하였다. 이를 위해 긴장재의 직경, 콘크리트의 피복 두께, 구속 철근과 비부착 구간의 유무, 긴장력 도입 방식을 변수로 한 10개의 프리텐션 콘크리트 부재를 제작하고, 긴장재에 부착한 전기 저항식 변형률 게이지를 통하여 부재에 긴장력 도입 시 변형률 변화를 동적으로 측정하였다. 실험 결과, 순간 전달 방식으로 긴장력을 도입할 때 절단단부에서 큰 동적 효과가 발생하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 변형률 변화량으로 각 부재의 긴장력을 비교한 결과, 각 인자에 따라 차이가 존재하는 것을 확인했다. 직경 15.2 mm 강선보다 12.7 mm 강선의 잔류 긴장력 비율이 더 컸으며, 75 mm의 콘크리트 피복 두께만으로도 충분한 구속 효과를 기대할 수 있는 것으로 판단된다. 구속 철근의 영향은 미미했고, 비부착 구간의 영향으로 잔류 긴장력이 향상되었다. 순간 전달 방식보다 지연 전달 방식으로 긴장력을 도입할 때 긴장력 손실이 적은 것으로 확인되었다.

본 연구에서는 최근 활용이 증가하고 있는 초고성능 콘크리트에서의 강연선 활용에 관한 기초자료를 마련하기 위해, 실험을 통해 프리텐션 부재로 제작되는 UHPC 부재의 응력전달길이를 고찰하였다. 실험 변수는 UHPC의 피복두께와 도입되는 긴장력의 크기로 설정하였으며, 실험 결과 프리텐션 UHPC의 응력전달길이는 피복두께가 작아질수록 도입 긴장력이 클수록 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

프리스트레스 프리텐숀 보의 전달길이를 위하여 콘크리트의 변형율에 의하여 부착력을 계측하는 간접적인 방법을 일반적으로 사용하여 왔다. 이 트랜스퍼 실험은 실제 보에서 행하여지므로, 실제 상태의 정착부착력을 계측할 수 있다는 장점이 있으나, 최대 정착부착응력과 부착강비를 구하기 난해하며, 그 결과가 매우 분산되어 있으므로, 구조 설계자가 안전한 적정기준을 이해하고 선택하기 어렵다. 콘크리트의 변형을 측정하지 않아도 PS 강선의 정착부착 성능을 얻을 수 있는 대안을 소개하였다. 실제 보에서 PS강재의 긴장을 풀 때와 유사한 상황에서 정축부착 응력을 직접 구하였다. 하중재하부에서 풀려진 PS강선의 긴장력은 하중재하부쪽 강선의 단면증가를 가져오고, 콘크리트 블록에 정착부착력을 발생시키며, 다른 방향(고정부 쪽)으로 슬립을 유발시킨다. 두 개의 중공 로드셀로 양단하중을 최대 부착응력 또는 전면슬립이 일어날 때까지 계측하였다. 프리텐션 콘크리트보의 정착부착 길이를 구하기 위하여 이 방법을 기존의 트랜스퍼 실험방법과 병행하여 사용할 것을 제안한다.
