Abstract:

A manual calculation procedure is presented for predic-tion of deflection of partially prestressed beams. Adequate accur-acy is achieved by accounting for the important parameters affecting the deflection: creep and shrinkage of concrete, relaxation of pre-stressed steel, cross section areas and locations of prestressed and nonprestressed steel and cracking at the sections where the tensile strength of concrete is exceeded. Design aids are presented to sim-plify calculation of properties of cracked sections. Numerical exam-ples are included.

Abstract:

The effect of construction loading on deflection of flat plate slabs is investigated. Progressive cracking, as load is incremented to the shored slab, is included in the finite element analysis for instantaneous deflections. Individual creep curves that reflect the loading age of concrete are superimposed to obtain total creep deflections. Overall long-time deflections also include shrinkage effects. Results calculated for a multistory flat plate structure are in good agreement with a set of measured one-year deflections.

Abstract:

A series of nine partially prestressed concrete beams was tested by a combination of a long-time load with intermittent cycles of short-time load over a total period of about one month. Additional tests were made of three of the beam types under the long-time load alone. The load-deflection-time relationships are discussed and a method of calculation of deflection is described which takes account of the "tension stiffening" effect of the concrete between the cracks. The ACI 318-83 recommendations are also checked against the results and found to be satisfactory for initial short-time loading but unconservative for a combination of long-time and intermittent cyclic loading.

Abstract:

Load-deflection response of prestressed concrete beams with web openings is determined analytically by means of a truss model that includes the effects of progressive cracking. Post-cracking response is based on application of the effective moment of inertia concept. Good agreement between analytical results and experimental results in the service load range is indicated.
