FLEXURAL STRENGTH OF EXTERNALLY PRESTRESSED CONCRETE BRIDGES
The authors conducted a study on the behavior up to failure of 74 externally prestressed concrete bridges using a nonlinear finite element model. Results of the study are presented. The aim of the study was to derive accurate values of the stress increase of tendons beyond the effective prestress. A code proposal is derived from the results and is compared with existing current codes.
