Non - linear analysis of externally prestressed concrete beams
In an external prestressing system, there is no strain compatibility between the cable and the concrete at every cross-section, the increment of cable strain must be evaluated by taking into account the whole structure, rather than performing the calculation at each section, independently. In this study, a method for the calculation of cable strain, which is based on the deformation compatibili...
متن کاملOptimization of Precast Prestressed Concrete Bridge Girder Systems
60 A practical approach to the optimal design of precast, prestressed concrete highway bridge girder systems is presented. The approach aims at standardizing the optimal design of bridge systems, as opposed to standardizing girder sections. Structural system optimization is shown to be more relevant than conventional girder optimization for an arbitrarily chosen structural system. Bridge system...
متن کاملSize Effect of Shear Failure in Prestressed Concrete Beams
It is shown that the size effect predicted by dimensional analysis of fracture mechanics of failures due to progressive distributed microcracking agrees with the test data existing in the literature better than the presently used strength (ultimate load) criterion, which exhibits no size effect, and better than the linear i!lastic fracture mechanics criterion, which exhibits much too strong a s...

متن کاملEffects of Temperature Variations on Precast, Prestressed Concrete Bridge Girders
The monitoring of a precast, prestressed girder bridge during fabrication and service provided the opportunity to observe temperature variations and to evaluate the accuracy of calculated strains and cambers. The use of high curing temperatures during fabrication affects the level of prestress because the strand length is fixed during the heating, the coefficients of thermal expansion of steel ...
