Comparison of Bursting Forces in Concrete Post-Tensioned Beam using Two Modeling Approaches

Abstract A case study on a rectangular post-tensioned concrete beam end block with 3-dimensional analysis is presented in this paper. ANSYS software used to model the end-block of specimen i.e., beam. An actual anchorage plate, widely construction modeled two different approaches, and concentrated jacking force applied same area. performed which modeling approaches are plate. For both plates, results obtained findings compared terms stresses, its location bursting force. Different equations from various design manuals compare calculated tensile
