Title:

FLEXURE, SHEAR AND TORSION TESTS ON PRESTRESSED CONCRETE I- BEAM

Accession Number:

Record Type:

Component

Abstract:

RESULTS ARE PRESENTED OF A SERIES OF FULL-SCALE TESTS PERFORMED TO EVALUATE DESIGN PROCEDURES, DETERMINE ULTIMATE STRENGTHS, AND ANSWER OTHER DESIGN QUESTIONS CONCERNING PRESTRESSED CONCRETE I-BEAMS. TO PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION SEVERAL BEAMS BOTH WITH AND WITHOUT COMPOSITELY ACTING ROADWAY SLABS WERE TESTED IN MOMENT, SHEAR, AND TORSION. DATA FROM THESE TESTS ARE RECORDED AND DISCUSSED AND SOME CONCLUSIONS ARE DRAWN. THESE TESTS WILL PROVIDE USEFUL INFORMATION FOR BRIDGE DESIGNERS AND ALSO SERVE AS A BASIS FOR PLANNING FURTHER INVESTIGATIONS AND TESTS OF PRESTRESSED CONCRETE I-BEAMS. /AUTHOR/
