Abstract

This experimental study presents the fatigue evaluation of a precast deck connected using Ultra-High Performance, Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC). Four types of two identical large-scale specimens were fabricated with simplified splice rebar details which had a short splice length of ten times rebar diameter. The flexural behavior of each type of specimens until failure was investigated and fatigue behavior of the same type of specimens was then evaluated using two-million cyclic loading. In the flexural tests, tensile rebars exhibited the deformation exceeding yielding strain but failure mode related to the splice details was not observed in spite of such a short splice length. In the fatigue tests, damage was not appreciably accumulated by the cyclic loading except initial flexural cracks and the stress variations in tensile rebars was less than the allowable stress range. These experimental results demonstrate that all types of specimens exhibited acceptable fatigue performance and indicate that enhanced mechanical properties of ultra-high performance material permits to use a simplified splice details along with short joint width.

본 연구에서는 초고성능 섬유보강 콘크리트(UHPFRC)가 적용된 프리캐스트 바닥판 접합부의 피로성능을 실험적으로 평가하였다. 단순화된 철근 이음상세 및 접합부 형상에 따라 4가지 타입의 대형 실험체가 각각 동일하게 2개씩 제작되었으며 접합부에서의 철근 이음길이는 철근직경의 10배로 배근되었다. 각 실험부재 형식에 대하여 휨하중 재하에 의한 실험체의 파괴 시까지 접합부의 거동을 관찰하였으며, 이후 2백만 회 반복하중 재하를 통하여 접합부의 피로거동을 평가하였다. 휨 실험 시 짧은 이음길이의 적용하였음에도 이음철근은 항복변형률 이상의 인장변형을 나타냈으며 실험부재의 파괴 시까지 철근 이음에 관련된 파괴현상은 발생하지 않았다. 또한, 피로실험 시 하중재하에 의한 초기균열 외에 추가적인 손상의 진행이 없었으며 반복 하중에 의한 철근의 발생응력 변화량은 피로허용범위를 초과하지 않았다. 이러한 실험결과는 본 연구에 사용된 모든 실험부재가 만족할만한 피로성능을 가지고 있음을 의미하며, 프리캐스트 바닥판의 채움재를 UHPFRC로 사용할 경우 초고성능 재료의 우수한 역학성능에 의하여 철근이음 상세의 단순화 및 접합부 폭 감소가 가능하다는 것을 나타내는 것이다.
