Abstract: This article presents an investigation of redistribution of moments in normal-strength concrete (NSC) and high-strength concrete (HSC) continuous beams. A nonlinear computer model is introduced and validated by experimental ...

Abstract: For external tendon members subjected to sustained loads, the time-dependent effects resulting from concrete creep, shrinkage, and tendon relaxation would interact with the second-order effects resulting from the change ...

Abstract: This article presents the results of a numerical investigation of the flexural behavior of continuous externally prestressed concrete beams. Aspects of behavior studied include the increase in stress in external tendons, ...

Abstract: Externally prestressed steel–concrete composite (EPSCC) beams in their deformed configuration are characterized by changes in the effective depth of external tendons. However, little information is available on this ...
