Investigation of Long-Term Prestress Losses in Pretensioned High Performance Concrete Girders

Effective determination of long-term prestress losses is important in the design of prestressed concrete bridges. Over-predicting prestress losses results in an overly conservative design for service load stresses, and under-predicting prestress losses, can result in cracking at service loads. Cre...
