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 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 کاملNonlinear Damping Identification in Precast Prestressed Reinforced Concrete Beams
This article presents a damage detection method for prestressed reinforced concrete (PRC) elements based on free vibration tests and nonlinear damping identification. Integrated static and dynamic experiments were carried out on three precast PRC beam specimens. The static loading induced different levels of damage to the beams. At each damage level, impulsive loading was applied to the beams a...
متن کاملVTOP. An improved software for design optimization of prestressed concrete beams
Optimum tendon layout of prefabricated prestressed concrete beams was an early application of design optimization methodologies. However, most of the approaches found in the literature were not suitable to be implemented in real life bridge engineering. To fill the existing gap research has been conducted in past years by the authors to optimize prefabricated concrete beams formulating the prob...
