MAGNEL DIAGRAMS FOR PRESTRESSED CONCRETE BEAMS

G. Magnel's graphical method for the analysis of a prestressed concrete beam and for the determination of safe prestressing force and eccentricity is described. The paper presents the characteristics of the original Magnel diagram, reviews the writers' modifications to and extensions of the method, discusses relevant work by others, and offers a further simplification for the plotting of the safe zone, illustrated by a worked example.
