Experimental Measurements in the Field of Prestressing Force Monitoring
Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2022 In recent years, lots of researchers have given attention to prestressing evaluation in existing prestressed concrete structures. In Europe, many existing prestressed concrete bridges are about to reach their limit of service life and exhibit signs of ...

Condition Assessment of PCI Bridge Girder a Result of The Reduction Prestressing Force
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2014 PCI bridge girders is known and widely used for many construction e.g.: bridge, wharf, flyover, and other application. PC Bridge girders have two types: Pre - tensioned girders and post - tensioned girders.

Bond Behavior of Pretensioned Strand Embedded in Ultra-High-Performance Fiber-Reinforced Concrete
International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials, 2018 This study aimed to investigate the bond properties of prestressing strands embedded in ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC). Toward this end, two types of prestressing strands with diameters of 12.7 and 15.2 mm were considered ...

Estimation of Prestress Force Distribution in the Multi-Strand System of Prestressed Concrete Structures [PDF]
Sensors, 2015 Prestressed concrete (PSC) is one of the most reliable, durable and widely used construction materials, which overcomes the weakness of concrete in tension by the introduction of a prestress force. Smart strands enabling measurement of the prestress force have recently been developed to maintain PSC structures throughout their lifetime.

Effect of Prestress Levels and Jacking Methods on Friction Losses in Curved Prestressed Tendons
Applied Sciences, 2017 The effects of prestressing methods and prestress levels on the friction losses of prestressed tendons were evaluated in this study. Two full-scale prestressed concrete girders were fabricated and used for the friction loss experiment.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...

Determination of prestressing levels for cable trusses as a function of their stability
Građevinar, 2013 The stability of prestressed cable trusses subjected to static and dynamic loads is analysed in the paper. The stiffness of the elastic cable truss system was varied by changing the prestressing force.

Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2023 Prestressing technology can not only improve the bearing capacity of beam but also improve the utilization rate of carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs). However, the existing prestressing and anchorage devices are complicated and have many components,

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Residual magnetization induces pronounced mechanical anisotropy in ultra‐soft magnetorheological elastomers, shaping deformation and actuation even without external magnetic fields. This study introduces a computational‐experimental framework integrating magneto‐mechanical coupling into topology optimization for designing soft magnetic actuators with ...
