Abstract:
Presents an evaluation of the strength and behavior of prestressed concrete deep beams using the strut-tie method. Strut-tie systems reflecting actual support and loading conditions are developed for three pretensioned deep beams tested to failure. The strut-tie approach is used to illustrate the effects of prestressing, concrete compressive strength, and reinforcement detailing on the behavior and strength of these members.
