국내의 도심지 도로는 대부분 시공 후 신속하게 개통할 수 있는 연성포장인 아스팔트 포장으로 시공되어 있다. 그러나 도심지 특성상 인구 밀도의 집중으로 인해 대중교통인 버스의 교통량이 증가하여 중앙버스정류장에 시공된 아스팔트 포 장에 피로하중이 쌓여 심각한 포장 파손이 자주 발생한다. 서울시에서는 최근에 중앙버스정류장의 포장 파손을 억제하기 위해 아스팔트 포장을 콘크리트 포장으로 신속하게 전환할 수 있는 프리캐스트 콘크리트 포장(Precast concrete pavement)을 중앙버스정류장에 적용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 시공된 중앙버스정류장 중 가장 오랜 기간 공용한 구간을 선정하여 현장 조사를 수행하였으며 프리캐스트 콘크리트 포장의 공용상태와 손상 형태 및 유형을 분석하였다. 현장 조 사를 수행한 중앙버스정류장은 연장이 72m이며 12개의 패널로 구성되어 있다. 현장 조사를 통한 분석 결과 접속부에서 는 아스팔트 포장에 소성변형 및 균열 등의 손상이 관찰되었으며 본선의 경우 그라우트 홀의 균열 또는 탈락, 패널의 균 열 등이 손상 유형으로 분석되었다. 또한, 줄눈부에서는 스폴링 및 단차 등이 손상 유형으로 확인되어 일반적인 현장타 설 줄눈 콘크리트 포장의 손상 유형과 유사한 것을 알 수 있었다.

도심지에서는 증가하는 교통량으로 인해 지상에서 지하로 교통 시설을 확대하고 있다. 지하에 교통 시설물을 시공할 경 우 기존 도로를 굴착한 후에 지하 시설물을 시공하는 동안에 임시통행판을 사용하여 기존 도로의 역할을 대체하도록 하 고 있다. 이러한 임시통행판은 대부분 철재를 사용하고 있으며 표면에 아스팔트, 콘크리트 등 다양한 재료를 적용하여 사용하기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트 슬래브를 임시통행판으로 적용하고 있는 사례를 조사하기 위해 미국 로스앤젤 레스 지역의 콘크리트 임시통행판이 설치된 구간에 대한 현장 조사를 실시하였으며 구성 요소와 손상 유형을 분석하였 다. 콘크리트 임시통행판의 주요 구성 요소로는 각각의 임시통행판을 연결해주는 연결부와 프리캐스트 콘크리트 임시통 행판을 인양할 수 있는 인양장치 체결부 등을 들 수 있다. 조사 구간은 하부의 보 구조 위에 프리캐스트 콘크리트 임시 통행판을 배치하였으며 연결부와 인양 장치 체결부를 그라우트로 채우는 방식으로 시공된 것으로 분석되었다. 손상 유형 을 분석한 결과, 차량 통행으로 인해 연결부와 인양장치 체결부의 그라우트 재료가 탈락되어 빈 공간이 보이는 부분이 많았으며 이러한 부분을 아스팔트 혼합물로 충진하여 사용하고 있었다. 또한, 콘크리트 임시통행판에 균열이 발생한 경 우도 조사되었다.

In this study, a performance evaluation was conducted on a composite elastic asphalt precast expansion joint developed to replace steel expansion joints that frequently suffer from various damages, such as blow-up owing to increased traffic volume and abnormal weather. Two types of elastic asphalt binders were prepared by mixing a latex-based modifier, and their basic properties and performance were evaluated. Elastic asphalt binders were mixed with 8–13 and 13–19 mm aggregates to prepare elastic asphalt joint mixtures, and their permanent deformation and adhesive performance were evaluated using Hamburg wheel-tracking and direct-shear tests. Elastic asphalt joint blocks and internal reinforcement for crack prevention were applied to produce the elastic composite expansion joints, and their performance was evaluated through contraction–extension tests to determine fatigue cracking, maximum load during contraction– extension, and repeated contraction–extension tests. As a result of the performance evaluation of the developed elastic asphalt binder, both the high- and low-temperature performances were improved, and the temperature sensitivity was superior to that of general asphalt binders, exhibiting high resistance to cracking. In addition, the joint block specimens manufactured by mixing the elastic asphalt binder with 13–19 mm aggregates exhibited excellent permanent deformation in the dynamic stability and Hamburg wheel-tracking tests, and they had higher adhesive performance than the method of repairing with rapid-hardening concrete materials at low and room temperatures, where significant contraction of the concrete joint occurs. We confirmed that when a compression spring-type reinforcement was applied, the compressive force for contraction decreased significantly compared with the unreinforced state, and the tensile force for extension increased, thereby reducing the stress applied to the mixture itself. The composite elastic asphalt precast expansion joint developed in this study is expected to have superior durability against cracks and secure continuity with the road surface through the tensile force dispersing effect using expansion reinforcement. Thus, it has better drivability than the existing steel expansion joint and can absorb shocks such as vibrations and noise applied to a structure.

실물 크기로 제작된 L형 프리캐스트 옹벽의 저판부에 대한 휨 실험을 수행하여, 프리캐스트 부분과 현장타설 부분의 연결방법에 따른 구조적 거동을 분석하였다. 연결방법은 기존의 일반적인 철근 겹이 음 방식과 최근 새롭게 개발된 비접촉식 커플러 방식 두 가지를 적용하였다. 실험체 셋팅을 위하여 현 장타설부를 갖는 프리캐스트 L형 옹벽을 제작하여 벽체를 반력벽에 고정하고, 벽체 하단에 힌지 지점 을 설치하였다. 또한 L형 옹벽 저판부의 현장타설부 중간 지점에 하중을 재하하여 고정단 조건으로 인한 전단 및 휨이 연결부에 작용하도록 하였다. 실험결과를 보면 비접촉식 커플러를 적용한 옹벽 저 판부에서 좀더 높은 강성을 보이는 것을 확인하였으며, 최대 강도에는 차이가 없었다. 비접촉식 커플 러는 철근의 부착력에 의해 구조적 성능을 확보하는데 이를 위하여 확대마디, 연결 철근, 스파이럴바 등이 사용된다. 이러한 구성품들로 인하여 비접촉식 커플러 적용 구간에 철근 단면적 향상 효과가 나 타나 높은 강성을 갖게 된 것으로 판단 된다. 비접촉식 커플러는 기존 겹이음에 비해 이음길이를 50% 수준으로 감소할 수 있어 대형 프리캐스트 구조물의 제작에 활용되는데 이번 실험을 통하여 충분한 구조 성능을 가지고 있음을 확인하였다.

Due to the recent increase in domestic seismic activity and the proliferation of PC structure buildings, there is a pressing need for a fundamental study to develop and revise the design criteria for Half-PC slabs. In this study, we propose criteria for determining the rigid diaphragm based on the aspect ratio of Half-PC slabs and investigate the structural effects based on the presence of chord element installation. This study concluded that Half-PC slabs with an aspect ratio of 3.0 or lower can be designed as rigid diaphragms. When chord elements are installed, it is possible to design Half-PC slabs with an aspect ratio of 4.0 or lower as rigid diaphragms. In addition, the increase in the aspect ratio of the Half-PC slab leads to a decrease in the in-plane stiffness of the structure, confirming that the reduction effect of the maximum displacement in force direction (max ) due to the increase in wall stiffness is predominantly influenced by flexibility.

Code-compliant seismic design should be essentially applied to realize the so-called emulative performance of precast concrete (PC) lateral force-resisting systems, and this study developed simple procedures to design precast industrial buildings with intermediate precast bearing wall systems considering both the effect of seismic and blast loads. Seismic design provisions specified in ACI 318 and ASCE 7 can be directly adopted, for which the so-called 1.5S y condition is addressed in PC wall-to-wall and wall-to-base connections. Various coupling options were considered and addressed in the seismic design of wall-to-wall connections for the longitudinal and transverse design directions to secure optimized performance and better economic feasibility. On the other hand, two possible methods were adopted in blast analysis: 1) Equivalent static analysis (ESA) based on the simplified graphic method and 2) Incremental dynamic time-history analysis (IDTHA). The ESA is physically austere to use in practice for a typical industrial PC-bearing wall system. Still, it showed an overestimating trend in terms of the lateral deformation. The coupling action between precast wall segments appears to be inevitably required due to substantially large blast loads compared to seismic loads with increasing blast risk levels. Even with the coupled-precast shear walls, the design outcome obtained from the ESA method might not be entirely satisfactory to the drift criteria presented by the ASCE Blast Design Manual. This drawback can be overcome by addressing the IDTHA method, where all the design criteria were fully satisfied with precast shear walls’ non-coupling and group-coupling strength, where each individual or grouped shear fence was designed to possess 1.5S y for the seismic design.

For fast-built and safe precast concrete (PC) construction, the dry mechanical splicing method is a critical technique that enables a self-sustaining system (SSS) during construction with no temporary support and minimizes onsite jobs. However, due to limited experimental evidence, traditional wet splicing methods are still dominantly adopted in the domestic precast industry. For PC beam-column connections, the current design code requires achieving emulative connection performances and corresponding structural integrity to be comparable with typical reinforced concrete (RC) systems with monolithic connections. To this end, this study conducted the standard material tests on mechanical splices to check their satisfactory performance as the Type 2 mechanical splice specified in the ACI 318 code. Two PC beam-column connection specimens with dry mechanical splices and an RC control specimen as the special moment frame were subsequently fabricated and tested under lateral reversed cyclic loadings. Test results showed that the seismic performances of all the PC specimens were fully comparable to the RC specimen in terms of strength, stiffness, energy dissipation, drift capacity, and failure mode, and their hysteresis responses showed a mitigated pinching effect compared to the control RC specimen. The seismic performances of the PC and RC specimens were evaluated quantitatively based on the ACI 374 report, and it appeared that all the test specimens fully satisfied the seismic performance criteria as a code-compliant special moment frame system.

프리캐스트 코핑의 중공부 주철근 단절로 인한 단점을 보완하고, 거치대 삽입 없이 주철근을 거치대로 활용할 수 있 도록 철근-콘크리트 접촉부의 응력집중을 완화할 수 있는 하중분산세트의 성능을 검토하였다. 유한요소해석 및 축소모형실험을 통해 검토한 결과 하중분산세트는 철근-콘크리트 접촉부의 응력집중을 효과적으로 완화시켜 거치 시 콘크리트 파손을 방지할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study presents a dry precast concrete (PC) beam-column connection, and its target seismic performance level is set to be emulative to the reinforced concrete (RC) intermediate moment resisting frame system specified in ACI 318 and ASCE 7. The key features include self-sustaining ability during construction with the dry mechanical splicing method, enabling emulative connection performances and better constructability. Test specimens with code-compliant seismic details were fabricated and tested under reversed cyclic loading, which included a PC beam-column connection specimen with dry connections and an RC control specimen. The test results showed that all the specimens failed in a similar failure mode due to plastic deformations in beam members, while the hysteretic response curve of the PC specimen showed comparable and emulative performances compared to the RC specimen. Seismic performance evaluation was quantitatively addressed, and on this basis, it confirmed that the presented system can fully satisfy all the required performance for the intermediate RC moment resisting frame.

A new clamped mechanical splice system was proposed to develop structural performance and constructability for precast concrete connections. The proposed mechanical splice resists external loading immediately after the engagement. The mechanical splices applicable for both large-scale rebars for plants and small-scale rebars for buildings were developed with the same design concept. Quasi-static lateral cyclic loading tests were conducted with reinforced and precast concrete members to verify the seismic performance. Also, shaking table tests with three types of seismic wave excitation, 1) random wave with white noise, 2) the 2016 Gyeongju earthquake, and 3) the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake, were conducted to confirm the dynamic performance. All tests were performed with real-scale concrete specimens. Sensors measured the lateral load, acceleration, displacement, crack pattern, and secant system stiffness, and energy dissipation was determined by lateral load-displacement relation. As a result, the precast specimen provided the emulative performance with RC. In the shaking table tests, PC frames’ maximum acceleration and displacement response were amplified 1.57 - 2.85 and 2.20 - 2.92 times compared to the ground motions. The precast specimens utilizing clamped mechanical splice showed ductile behavior with energy dissipation capacity against strong motion earthquakes.

최근 현장작업을 최소화할 수 있는 PC(Precast Concrete) 건축공법의 적용이 급속하게 활성화되고 있다. 그러나 PC 공법은 시공 중, 특히 부재간 일체화 이전에 구조적 성능을 발휘하기 어렵고 완공 후에도 접합부의 일체성을 확보하기 어려워 연쇄붕괴에 취약하다. PC 건축물에서는 다양한 PC 부재간 접합 상세가 존재하며, 국내외 구조/시공 상세가 현격히 다르다. 그러나 국내 PC 시스템의 시스템 과 상세 특성을 반영한 연쇄붕괴에 대한 연구는 매우 미비하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 국내에서 주로 사용하는 PC 구조시스템과 접 합부 구조/시공 상세를 조사 분석하였다. 이를 기반으로 국내에서 사용되는 전형적인 PC 시스템의 유형을 설정하고 상기 PC 시스템 의 연쇄붕괴방지성능을 평가하기 위하여 비선형 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과를 바탕으로 국내에서 주로 사용된 PC 구조시 스템의 연쇄붕괴방지 성능을 평가하고 구조설계시 고려사항을 제안하였다.

The Precast concrete(PC) modular structures are a method of assembling pre-fabricated unit modules in the construction site. The essential aim of modular structures is to introduce a connection method that can ensure splicing performance and effectively resist shear strength. This study proposed PC module using a connecting plate that can replace splice sleeves and shear keys used in the conventional PC modular structures. To evaluate the splicing performance and shear capacity of the proposed method, the shear test was conducted by fabricating one monolithic reinforced concrete(RC) beam and two PC modular beams with a shear span-to-depth ratio as variables. The experimental results showed that the shear capacity of the PC modular beam was about 89% compared to that of the RC beam, and showed a failure of the RC beam according to the shear span-to-depth ratio. Therefore, it was considered that the connecting plate effectively transferred the stress between each PC module through the joint and ensure integrity. In addition, the applicability of shear strength equation of ACI 318-19 and Zsutty's equation to PC modular beams were evaluated. Results demonstrated that the improved shear strength equations are needed to consider reduction of shear strength in PC modules.

Precast concrete (PC) modules have been increased its use in modular buildings due to their better seismic performance than steel modules. The main issue of the PC module is to ensure structural performance with appropriate connection methods. This study proposed a PC modular beam system for simple construction and improved structural and splicing performance. This modular system consisted of modules with steel plates inserted, and it is easy to construct by bolted connection. The steel plates play the role of tensile rebar and stirrup, which has the advantage of structural performance. The structural performance of the proposed PC modular beam system was evaluated by flexural test on one reinforced concrete (RC) beam specimen consisting of a monolithic, and two PC specimens with the proposed PC modular beam system. The results demonstrated that the proposed PC modular beam system achieved approximately 86% of the structural performance compared to the RC monolithic specimen, with similar ductility of approximately 1.06 fold greater.
