Analysis of Bonded Post-tensioned Partially Prestressed Concrete Beams under Sustained Loads

A simple and rational analytical model that allows the determination of the history of strain and stress distribution in uncracked bonded post-tensioned RC concrete sections is proposed. Expressions for the direct computation of the time-dependent strain are extended to consider a two-stage sustaine...
