Abstract: An analytical approach to calculate time‐dependent stresses and strains in initially cracked reinforced and partially prestressed concrete members with or without nonprestressed reinforcement is presented. The method ...

Abstract: Based on Trost‐Bazant stress‐strain response relationship of concrete, an algorithm to predict the final stresses and strains including creep and shrinkage effects in initially cracked structural concrete elements with or ...

Abstract: This paper presents the details of an innovative external prestressing technique for strengthening of prestressed concrete girders. The technique has been developed for anchoring the external prestressing to the sides of ...
