DYNAMIC RESPONSE OF PRETENSIONED PRESTRESSED CONCRETE BEAMS

SEVEN PRETENSIONED CONCRETE BEAMS WERE SUBJECTED TO A HIGHLY IMPULSIVE LOAD. THE LOAD, REACTION, AND DISPLACEMENT OF THE MEMBER WERE RECORDED. A COMPARISON IS MADE BY DETERMINING THE RATIO OF ULTIMATE DYNAMIC MOMENT TO ULTIMATE STATIC MOMENT. THE TEST RESULTS SHOW THAT THE MEMBERS WILL CARRY A 35 PERCENT LARGER ULTIMATE MOMENT WHEN APPLIED DYNAMICALLY. /AUTHOR/
