Stress Limitation of External Prestressing Tendons in Serviceability Limit State

This paper describes how the ultimate stress of external tendons sometimes controls the prestress design of a bridge. The ultimate stress of an external tendon can be expressed as the addition of the effective stress of the tendon and a stress increment in Ultimate Limit State. The effective stress is closely related to the stress limitation of the tendon in the Serviceability Limit State. This paper will discuss how theoretical research and experimental investigations were made at the Department of Bridge Engineering of Tongji University in order to get reasonable stress limitation of external tendons and make recommendations for bridge designers.
