Abstract

This research was conducted to analyze the behavior of PTCP (Post-Tensioned prestressed Concrete Pavement) under tensioning by performing field tests when the experimental PTCP slab was being constructed. The displacements in the slab under the environmental loading and tensioning were measured using temperature measurement sensors and displacement transducers. Tensioning was performed three times and appropriateness of tensioning could be determined by investigating the relationship between temperature and displacement, behavior of transverse crack, and daily change in displacement. The results of this study showed that under the first tensioning at very early age, large displacements were observed only near the joints because of the friction between slab and underlying layer and concrete inelasticity. Under consecutive tensioning, displacements were clearly observed all over the slab, but still affected by the friction. In addition, appropriate tensioning ensured the one-slab behavior of the PTCP slab even though cracks existed.

본 연구는 포스트텐션드 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 포장(PTCP: Post-Tensioned prestressed Concrete Pavement) 공법의 국내 적용을 위해 수행한 시험시공시에 현장실험을 통해 PTCP의 긴장시 구조적 거동을 분석하기 위하여 수행되었다. 실험을 위해 온도측정센서 및 변위측정게이지를 슬래브에 장착하여 환경하중 및 긴장력 도입에 따른 슬래브의 변위변화를 측정하였다. 총 세 차례에 걸쳐 긴장력을 도입하였으며 긴장작업의 적절성을 온도와 변위의 상관관계 횡방향 균열거동, 일일 종방향 변위변화량 등을 분석하여 판단하였다. 실험결과 타설초기 1차 긴장시에는 슬래브와 하부층과의 마찰 및 콘크리트의 소성성질 등의 요인에 의해 슬래브의 양끝단 부분에서만 큰 변위가 발생하였으나 이후 어느 정도의 시간이 경과한 후 가해진 긴장에서는 슬래브 전체에 뚜렷한 변위가 발생되나 여전히 마찰저항의 영향을 받는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 긴장이 제대로 가해지면 균열이 존재하더라도 비활성화되어 슬래브가 일체의 거동을 나타내었다.
