Abstract: In this paper, serviceability limit states of prestressed concrete bridges are examined. Allowable compressive and tensile stresses in concrete under service loads are first used to determine the upper and lower limits of ...

Abstract: In this paper, the use of localized tendons to prestress statically indeterminate structures is examined. To determine the prestressing moments produced by localized tendons, the fixed-end moments should first be computed. ...

Abstract: In this paper, the efficiency of tendon profiles is examined for the internal and external prestressing of statically indeterminate structures. The statically indeterminate component of the total prestressing moment is ...
