The behaviour of class-3 type prestressed concrete beams, at the limit states of cracking, deflexion and collapse are investigated by experiments on pretensioned beams with mild steel as supplementary reinforcement. Several methods of calculating the width of cracks are examined in the light of expe

โฆ Synopsis
A numerical model to describe the behaviour of confined prestressed concrete beams is presented. The model was developed using the Finite Element Method and it is suitable for the analysis of bonded and unbonded prestressed concrete beams subjected to monotonic short term loading. Numerical results are compared with experimental data obtained at the Structures Laboratory of the University of Tucumfin (Argentina).
