This study investigates the performance of hollow precast segmental bridge columns with reinforcement details for material quantity reduction. The proposed triangular reinforcement details are economically feasible and rational, and facilitate shorter construction periods. The precast segmental bridge columns provides an alternative to current cast-in-place systems. We tested a model of hollow precast segmental bridge columns under a constant axial load and a quasi-static, cyclically reversed horizontal load. We used a computer program, Reinforced Concrete Analysis in Higher Evaluation System Technology (RCAHEST), for analysis of reinforced concrete structures. The used numerical method gives a realistic prediction of performance throughout the loading cycles for hollow precast segmental bridge column specimens investigated. As a result, proposed reinforcement details for material quantity reduction was equal to existing reinforcement details in terms of required performance.

In this study we developed an integrated precast concrete decks for a rapid construction. The structural performance in the integrated precast bridge decks is evaluated by real-scale test bed and detailed finite element analyses. The numerical analysis results were compared with the experimental data from a real-scaled single-span precast/prestressed concrete bridge decks under truck loading. Parametric studies are focused on the various effects of external loads on the structural behavior for different locations and measuring points on the precast bridge decks. The assessment in this study indicates that the integrated precast bridge decks show an excellent structural performance as expected.

해상풍력발전의 건설이 여러 가지 환경 및 가설공법 등의 설치환경 등의 원인에 의하여 건설지점이 천해에서 심해로 이동하는 경향을 나타내고 있다. 이러한 경향 속에 해상풍력발전 지지구조물의 심해화에 따른 지지구조물에 대한 연구는 중요성이 더욱 증대될 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 Jacket 구조물에 대하여 Precast Concrete Block 및 Suction pile을 적용한 Jacket 구조물을 제안하고 이에 대하여 구조해석 및 안전성 평가를 실시하였다. 또한 제안된 구조물에 동조액체감쇠기를 적용하여 구조물 진동성능 향상을 도모하고자 하였다. 연구결과, 제안된 신형식 Jacket 구조물은 충분한 안전성을 가지고 있는 것으로 평가되었으며, 동조액체감쇠기를 적용하였을 경우, 약 5%의 진동저감 효과가 있는 것으로 검토되었다.

The purpose of this study is to develop a new seismic resistant method by using precast concrete wall panels for existing low-rise, reinforced concrete beam-column buildings such as school buildings. Three quasi-static hysteresis loading tests were experimentally performed on one unreinforced beam-column specimen and two reinforced specimens with L-type precast wall panels. The results were analyzed to find that the specimen with anchored connection experienced shear failure, while the other specimen with steel plate connection principally manifested flexural failure. The ultimate strength of the specimens was determined to be the weaker of the shear strength of top connection and flexural strength at the critical section of precast panel. In this setup of L-type panel specimens, if a push loading is applied to the reinforced concrete column on one side and push the precast concrete panel, a pull loading from upper shear connection is to be applied to the other side of the top shear connection of precast panel. Since the composite flexural behavior of the two members govern the total behavior during the push loading process, the ultimate horizontal resistance of this specimen was not directly influenced by shear strength at the top connection of precast panel. However, the RC column and PC wall panel member mainly exhibited non-composite behavior during the pull loading process. The ultimate horizontal resistance was directly influenced by the shear strength of top connection because the pull loading from the beam applied directly to the upper shear connection. The analytical result for the internal shear resistance at the connection pursuant to the anchor shear design of ACI 318M-11 Appendix-D except for the equation to predict the concrete breakout failure strength at the concrete side, principally agreed with the experimental result based on the elastic analysis of Midas-Zen by using the largest loading from experiment.

This study aims at developing a new seismic resistant method by using precast concrete wall panels for existing low-rise, reinforced concrete beam-column buildings such as school buildings. Three quasi-static hysteresis loading tests were performed on one unreinforced beam-column specimen and two reinforced specimens with U-type precast wall panels. Top shear connection of the PC panel was required to show the composite strength of RC column and PC wall panel. However, the strength of the connection did not influence directly on the ultimate loading capacities of the specimens in the positive loading because the loaded RC column push the side of PC wall panel and it moved horizontally before the shear connector receive the concentrated shear force in the positive loading process. Under the positive loading sequence(push loading), the reinforced concrete column and PC panel showed flexural strength which is larger than 97% of the composite section because of the rigid binding at the top of precast panel. Similar load-deformation relationship and ultimated horizontal load capacities were shown in the test of PR1-LA and PR1-LP specimens because they have same section dimension and detail at the flexural critical section. An average of 4.7 times increase in the positive maximum loading(average 967kN) and 2.7 times increase in the negative maximum loading(average 592.5kN) had resulted from the test of seismic resistant specimens with anchored and welded steel plate connections than that of unreinforced beam-column specimen. The maximum drift ratios were also shown between 1.0% and 1.4%.

Prestressed concrete (PSC) is a method in which prestressed tendon is placed inside and/or outside the reinforced concrete member and the compressive force applied to the concrete in advance to enhance the engineering properties of concrete member which is weak under tension. In this paper we suggested the precast PSC girder assembled with segments of portable size and weight at the factory. The segments of precast PSC girder will be delivered and assembled as a unit of PSC girder at the site. Consequently, we suggested new-type of precast segmented PSC girder with different shapes of segment cross-section (i.e., I-shape, Box-shape). To mitigate the problems associated with the field splice between the segments of precast PSC girder anchor system is attached near the neutral axis of the girder and relatively uniform compression throughout the girder cross-section is applied. Prior to the experimental investigation, analytical investigation on the structural behavior of precast PSC girder was performed and the serviceability (deflection) and safety (strength) of the girder were confirmed. In addition, 4-point bending test on the girder was conducted to investigate the structural performance under bending. From the experimental investigation, it was found that the precast PSC girder spliced with 3 and 5 segments has sufficient in serviceability and safety conditions and it was also observed that the point where the segments spliced has no defects and the girder behaves as a unit.

The purpose of this study is to establish and examine the analytical methods based on FEA to predict the behavior of the precast prestressed concrete panels under blast loading. The precast prestressed concrete structures are on the rise, but there is little research in this regard explosion. In this paper, we set the variable to the three models. TNT 500 kg was an explosion in the standoff-distance 3m. In conclusion, the precast models damage was concentrated in the bonded portion. The concrete panels after an explosion occurred continuously deformed. But the including prestressed panels deformation occurs only at the beginning of the explosion were able to see the results.

Shear wall systems behave as individual wall because of openings like window and elevator cage. When coupling beams are installed in shear walls, they will have high strength and stiffness so that be less damaged by lateral loads like earthquake. However, coupling beam is difficult construction method. And arranging reinforcement of slender coupling beams are especially hard. It is because the details of coupling beam provided by ACI 318 are complex. In this paper, experiments were conducted using coupling beams with 3.5 aspect ratio to improve the details of slender coupling beams provided by ACI 318. Two specimens were proposed for this study. One specimen applied with bundled diagonally reinforcement only. Another specimen applied both bundled diagonally reinforcement and High-Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composite (HPFRCC) so that coupling beams have half of transverse reinforcement. All specimen were compared with a coupling beam designed according to ACI 318 and were evaluated with hysteretic behaviors. Test results showed that the performance of two specimen suggested in this study were similar to that of coupling beam designed according to current criteria. And it was considered that simplification of the details of reinforcement would be available if transverse reinforcement was reduced by using bundled diagonally reinforcement and HPFRCC.

In the case of adhesive, two-component epoxy-urea has a very high bonding strength(tensile, shear) was most excellent. According to the results of field tests, when epoxy-urea was excellent workability. Also, the repair body through actual mock-up test did not occur large deformation and fracture after 12 months. CONCLUSIONS : A suitable repair material is cold-mix reaction type mixture of asphalt-precast, a suitable adhesive is a two-component epoxy-urea.

This study numerically investigates flexural behavior of press braked U-type section girders for fabrication simplicity. In order to improve structural stability during construction, the top flanges of press braked U section girder are laterally braced by installation of precast half-deck. Thus, laterally unbraced length is taken by the pocket spacing of the half-deck. This study performed 3D nonlinear finite element analyses on the U-type section girders along with inner bend radii to thickness ratio (ri/t). The numerical models reflect initial imperfection and residual stress. Through the finite element analyses, the flexural strength of the press-braked U-type section models were compared with those of general welded girder.

프리캐스트 콘크리트 골조에서 실물크기의 보-기둥 접합부 실험체 5개를 대상으로 반복가력 실험을 수행하였다. 지진하중을 받는 골조를 대상으로 1개의 일체식 실험체와 4개의 프리캐스트 실험체를 포함하여 5개의 1/2스케일의 내부 보-기둥 접합부를 대상으로 하였다.주요 변수는 보의 구조적 연속성을 확보하기 위한 접합부의 형태와 접합부의 특별한 보강형태(섬유콘크리트와 횡보강근)로 하였다. 실험체는 강기둥-약보 개념에 따라 설계하였다. 보 철근은 접합부에 큰 비탄성 전단력이 작용할 경우 보에 소성힌지가 발생하도록 계획하였다. 접합부의 성능평가는 접합부의 강도, 강성, 에너지 소산능력과 층간변위비로 평가하였다. 실험결과 실험체의 파괴는 보의 소성힌지부에서 파괴되었다. 보-기둥 접합부의 성능은 대체적으로 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 접합부의 강도는 일체식 RC 구조의 비해 1.15배 정도 향상되었다. 층간변위 3.5%때의 강도에서 실험체는 ECC의 인장변형능력과 철골연결재의 항복에 의해 연성거동 하였다.

PC(Precast Concrete) 구조시스템은 건식화 조립식 공법으로 구조물 건설에 있어 공기, 노동력 절감 등의 여러 장점을 가지고 있다. 하지만 구조벽체의 경우 이를 PC화하여 사용할 경우 접합부의 내진성능이 떨어지므로 PC 구조벽체를 사용하는 경우는 드물다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 점을 감안하여 접합부 성능을 개선하여 횡력저항요소로 사용가능한 2종류의 PC 구조벽체를 제안하였다. 제안된 PC 구조벽체는 RC 벽체 및 PC 벽체가 혼합된 복합 PC 벽체와 벽체하부 연결철근의 일부를 단면감소시키고 비부착상세를 적용한 PC 벽체로서 지진발생 시 충분한 강도와 변형능력을 확보할 수 있도록 하였다. 제안된 PC 구조벽체의 내진성능평가를 위하여 RC 벽체를 포함한 3가지 벽체에 대한 실험체를 제작하여 주기 횡하중 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과, 제안된 PC 구조벽체는 강도, 강성, 변형능력 및 에너지 소산능력이 기존 PC 구조벽체보다 월등히 향상되어 우수한 내진성능을 확보할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
