Stress at Ultimate in Unbonded Prestressing Tendons by Strain Compatibility

  • Conference paper
Progress in Structural Engineering

Part of the book series: Solid Mechanics and Its Applications ((SMIA,volume 10))

Summary

This study presents a simplified methodology to compute the stress in unbonded tendons at the ultimate moment capacity of prestressed and partially prestressed concrete flexural beams, using a modified strain compatibility analysis.
