Forces in Unbonded Tendons

by Rex C. Donahey, Oklahoma State Univ, United States,
G. Steven Gipson, Oklahoma State Univ, United States,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Structural Design, Analysis and Testing

Abstract:

A rational analysis procedure for the calculation of tendon forces in prestressed beams with unbonded tendons is discussed. The prestressing tendon is analyzed as a tight-string which carries a portion of the external load. Further development of the method is in progress.
