ULTIMATE TENDON STRESS IN BEAMS PRESTRESSED WITH EXTERNAL TENDONS

open access: yesDoboku Gakkai Ronbunshuu E, 2006
This paper presented a comprehensive review of existing prediction equations for the evaluation of tendon stress at ultimate of externally prestressed concrete beams. The validity of each prediction equation was examined by large data of experimental results, which were collected from available literature. A new prediction equation for computing tendon

Evaluation of prestress losses in concrete beams using destructive and non‐destructive methods

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Over the past few decades, prestressing techniques have become essential in the construction of key structures, infrastructure, and bridges. The serviceability and safety of prestressed concrete (PC) elements are closely tied to the effectiveness of the prestressing process.

Flexural performance of concrete‐filled steel tubular beams with wood chip aggregate

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the flexural performance of concrete‐filled steel tubular (CFST) beams with partial replacement of aggregates by wood chips (0%–25%) through experimental and numerical analysis. This study is novel in that it experimentally and numerically investigates the flexural behavior of CFST beams with partial replacement of ...

Analysis of Short-Term Prestress Losses in Post-tensioned Structures Using Smart Strands

open access: yesInternational Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials, 2022
The proper estimation of prestressing force (PF) distribution is critical to ensure the safety and serviceability of prestressed concrete (PSC) structures. Although the PF distribution can be theoretically calculated based on certain predictive equations,

Pre‐failure behavior of continuous post‐tensioned and post‐grouted beam in case of tendon failure

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Grouted tendons are a common solution for long‐span bridge structures. The grout provides bond and corrosion protection for prestressing steel. However, if the grouting is defective, corrosion of the prestressing steel may initiate and eventually lead to tendon failure.
