Collapse Load Analysis of Prestressed

This report describes a non-linear method of analysis for prestressed concrete structures which predicts behaviour at all stages of loading, from the initial application of prestress up to and beyond the collapse condition. The method uses a segmental line element approach and is a modification of an existing method previously developed for reinforced concrete structures. Comparisons with the r...

Size Effect of Shear Failure in Prestressed Concrete Beams

It is shown that the size effect predicted by dimensional analysis of fracture mechanics of failures due to progressive distributed microcracking agrees with the test data existing in the literature better than the presently used strength (ultimate load) criterion, which exhibits no size effect, and better than the linear i!lastic fracture mechanics criterion, which exhibits much too strong a s...

Stability Calculation Method of Slope Reinforced by Prestressed Anchor in Process of Excavation

This paper takes the effect of supporting structure and anchor on the slope stability of the excavation process into consideration; the stability calculation model is presented for the slope reinforced by prestressed anchor and grillage beam, and the dynamic search model of the critical slip surface also is put forward. The calculation model of the optimal stability solution of each anchor tens...

Pullout Load Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Anchor Shafts

In this paper, results obtained in both conventional and finite element analysis of straight and belled anchor shafts subjected to a pullout force are presented. In numerical analysis, it is assumed that no drainage takes place during the anchor pullout. Comparisons between two conventional methods of analysis for ultimate pullout load and the results obtained by the finite element analysis are...
