New approach to calculate prestressed internal load - Direct internal load method
Abstract
Prestressed loads are internal loads that are generated by the prestressing tendons acting on structural member. They are important parameters in the design and analysis of prestressed structures. According to the characteristics of prestressing tendons, the prestressed loads consist of three portions--the normal force of tendons, anchored force on tendon ends, and the friction between tendon and structure. Based on this observation, the direct …
