Design of Anchorage Zones of Pretensioned Concrete Girders: A Comparison of Nonlinear 3D FEM Results with Measurements on a Full Scale Beam
Pretensioned concrete beams are widely used for constructing large load-bearing structures and bridging long spans. Crack formation may occur in the end zones of these elements due to tensile splitting, spalling and bursting actions. Investigation of these zones is typically done by means of analyti...
