Abstract:

Because channel quality defects of post-tensioned prestressed concrete construction cannot be discovered on time, an electric heating method is put forward to produce effective detection. The results of the numeric simulation on the temperature field of a prestressed concrete component show that the electric heating infrared detection method, for its energy consumption, efficiency and safety, is feasible for detecting the channel quality of prestressed concrete component, but the electric current needs to be controlled to avoid high temperature which affects the physical and mechanical properties of the strand and the concrete.

Abstract:

Post-tensioned concrete masonry walls provide improved seismic performance, but have had limited application in seismic regions because of a lack of research pertaining to their in-plane response. Following focused research over recent years, a consortium of product suppliers has collaborated with the University of Auckland to construct New Zealand’s first post-tensioned concrete masonry house. A feature of this innovative design was that all incorporated products were commercially available, with no proprietary products being specifically developed for the prestressed masonry system used. Consequently, it is hoped that this house will be a showcase, and provide exposure for the technology in New Zealand and elsewhere. This paper provides a brief review of previous post-tensioned concrete masonry research applications, then discusses post-tensioning details and their application to house design and construction.

Abstract:

This paper presents the key observations and conclusions from the evaluation of an innovative "loose-fit" composite, post-tensioned concrete wing-girder bridge proposed for an elevated interstate highway expansion in an urban environment. The evaluation program included both testing to destruction of a 1/2-scale model of a partial span as well as construction monitoring and field testing at service load levels of a full-scale prototype two-span bridge. Results of both construction measurements and loading tests were compared with analytical predictions. Laboratory tests showed the composite behavior of the wing-girder joint to be fully effective and a high level of load transfer between wings to be present. Recommendations for modification of the prototype design are made to improve constructibility, durability, structural performance, and economy. Key words: box girder, bridge, post-tensioned, prestressed concrete, reinforcement, stresses, temperature, tendons.

Abstract:

This study proposes a cost-effective prestress monitoring method for post-tensioned reinforced concrete (RC) beams using a smart strand. Firstly, the concept of a piezoelectric-based smart strand and its implementation for prestress force monitoring are developed. The smart strand is prepared by embedding inexpensive and high-sensitivity electromechanical impedance (EMI) sensors in a steel strand. Next, the feasibility of the proposed method is experimentally verified for prestress force monitoring of a simple supported post-tensioned RC beam. A smart strand prototype is fabricated and embedded into a 6.4 m RC beam which is then prestressed with different levels. For each prestress level, the EMI responses of the smart tendon are measured and the EMI features are extracted for prestress force monitoring. The results showed that the EMI signals of the smart strand showed strong resonant peaks that varied sensitively to the prestress level of the beam. The prestress change in the prestressed RC beam was successfully estimated by using linear regression models of the EMI features.

Abstract:

A novel self-centering prestressed concrete pier with external energy dissipators has been developed to realize seismic resilient performance and enhanced corrosion-resisting property. Self-centering capacity of the pier is provided by the unbonded post-tensioned tendons and damage is mostly concentrated on the replaceable dissipators. To investigate the seismic behavior of the proposed pier, a detailed analytical model considering interface opening and dissipator deformation was developed and verified through existing cyclic load tests. Based on the proposed model, a prototype reinforced concrete pier and a self-centering prestressed concrete pier with similar backbone curves are designed, and fragility analyses are conducted on the two piers through incremental dynamic analysis. One maximum drift-based performance limit state (i.e. collapse prevention) and two residual drift-based performance limit states (i.e. emergent usage and reconstruction) are defined for seismic capacity evaluation. Fragility curves indicate that the self-centering prestressed concrete pier has a slightly higher peak drift demand owing to its inferior dissipating capacity as compared with the reinforced concrete pier, while sustains a much lower residual drift demand due to its inherent self-centering characteristic.

Abstract:

Steel trusses are the most popular system for supporting long-span roofs in commercial buildings, such as warehouses and aircraft hangars. There are several advantages of steel trusses, such as lightweight, ease of handling and erection, and geometric flexibility. However, they have some drawbacks, such as high material and maintenance cost, and low fire resistance. In this paper, a precast concrete truss is proposed as an alternative to steel trusses for spans up to 48 m (160 ft) without intermediate supports. The proposed design is easy to produce and has lower construction and maintenance costs than steel trusses. The truss consists of two segments that are formed using standard bridge girder forms with block-outs in the web which result in having diagonals and vertical members and reduces girder weight. The two segments are then connected using a wet joint and post-tensioned longitudinally to form a crowned truss. The proposed design optimizes the truss-girder member locations, cross-sections, and material use. A 9 m (30 ft) long truss specimen is constructed using self-consolidated concrete to investigate the constructability and structural capacity of the proposed design. A finite element analysis of the specimen is conducted to investigate stresses at truss diagonals, verticals, and connections. Testing results indicate the production and structural efficiency of the developed system.

Abstract:

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) tendons are being increasingly used nowadays in prestressing and (or) post-tensioning concrete structures. However, designers are faced with lack of practical analysis procedure that leads to proper evaluation of their structural performance, especially when bonded prestressing is combined with unbonded post-tensioning. This paper presents an analytical procedure for these beams. It examines the load–defelction characteristics and proceeds to estimate the ultimate load carrying capacity by taking into consideration the change of stress that occurs in the externally unbonded tendons during different stages of loading. The analytical procedure uses the concept of effective moment of inertia of concrete beams. The equations used are developed by ACI Committee 440, the Intelligent Sensing for Innovative Structures (ISIS) Canada Research Network, and the Comité Euro-International du Béton - Fédération International de la Précontrainte (CEB-FIP), for calculating the deflection of beams reinforced with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) tendons. Finite element analyses have been conducted to verify the proposed analytical method. Two experimental programs were used to validate the proposed analytical method. The experimental findings of two box beams reinforced with bonded and unbonded external tendons are compared with finite element analyses and the analytical results. A full-scale test for an internally and externally prestressed double-T beam was undertaken at Construction Technology Laboratories Inc., Skokie, Illinois. The results from this experimental work were used to validate the analytical procedure.Key words: bonded CFRP tendons, concrete, post-tensioning, unbonded CFRP tendons.

Abstract:

<p>A new class of spread slab beam bridges has recently been developed and implemented in Texas. The research questions addressed in this paper are: how long can such a low profile bridge system span in either a simply supported or continuous form? And, can construction operations be accelerated, by design? An effective way to extend the span length is to utilize post-tensioning and to make the bridge continuous over several spans. In order to explore the maximum span limit, the design of a multi-span prestressed concrete spread slab beam bridge is investigated. In addition, a thicker and longer precast prestressed concrete panels (PCPs) that uses concentric pre-tensioned prestress is developed to facilitate accelerated bridge construction by reducing the need for field placement of deck reinforcement. It is shown that the span length may be extended from 15 m to 21 m as a continuous shallow profile bridge. The new solution for PCPs is verified to speed up field operations as compared to the traditional deck with stay-in-place PCPs and cast-in-place toppings.</p>

Abstract:

<p>Prestressed transfer plate consists of a thick cast in-situ post-tensioned concrete slab supporting multi-storey shear walls at building transition level. Compared to conventional reinforced concrete transfer beams, it offers savings in concrete volume of 10-15%, cuts steel reinforcement content by 35-50% and significantly reduces formwork usage which eventually helps to achieve lower carbon footprint for a more sustainable transfer floor construction. The design of prestressed transfer plates is complicated owing to its two-way bending behaviour and irregular load path from reactions of numerous shear walls. This paper elaborates the analysis of prestressed transfer plates and discusses their interaction effect with shear walls. It also explains the design of interfacing shear for thick plate construction with multi-layer casting in addition to various design considerations including flexural and punching shear design based on relevant codes of practice.</p>

Abstract:

<p>The technology of high-speed railway is one of the central driving forces in national economic growth. To increase the speed of high-speed trains and ensure their safety, the research and development of brand-new ballastless track techniques are of vital significance. This article simply talked about China's domestically designed CRTS III ballastless track. This technique is famous for some technical characteristics: it replaced CA mortar with self-compacting concrete as adjustment layer, which not only simplified the structure but also reduced the cost; 2-D scalable steel mould was adopted to materialize the track slab with high precision shoulder post-tensioned prestressed spatial curved space, which simplified the construction craft a lot; it adopted flexible longitudinal coupled structure of the subgrade as bridge-tunnel unit structure, which weakened the influence of temperature stress; unit-separated structure and flexible-separated structure were widely used, which made the maintainability of all unit structure. This article was based on the analysis of these technical characteristics and discussed the application status and developing foreground of this technique in some way.</p>
