| Abstract | An experimental investigation of the effect of the degree of
prestress on the loading history and failure of twenty simply
supported prestressed concrete T-beams reinforced in tension only is presented. The beams were tested to failure by two-point loading on 8-ft. span.
The primary variables were the degree of prestress and the
shear span. The relationship of these variables to beam deflections, inclined tension cracking loads, and ultimate shear moments are presented in the form of graphs and tables.
The experimental values of the inclined cracking load, ultimate
shear moment are compared to results obtained from the theoretical analyses.
The results showed that unless slip occurred, the inclined
cracking load, and the ultimate shear moment of the beam increase directly with the degree of prestress. |
