Abstract: An analytical model to investigate the shear resistance mechanism of a posttensioned precast concrete (PPC) member is proposed. The model is based on the truss mechanism. The compatibility of strains and the equilibrium ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical procedure to assess the monotonic (envelope) force-deformation response (capacity curve) of unbonded post-tensioning precast concrete (UPT) walls with internal and external replaceable ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on the performance of half-scale, unbonded, post-tensioning, precast concrete walls subjected to fully reversed cyclic loads. Moreover, this paper discusses ...
