Cracking in Prestressed Concrete Structures
Also Known As:
The standard ACI SP-113:1989 contains a compilation of seven papers that aim to provide an understanding of the problems and solutions related to cracking in prestressed concrete. These papers cover various aspects of cracking, including flexural cracking behavior, fatigue loading, anchorage zone cracking, stresses and strains, and restraint cracks in prestressed concrete structures.
The first paper, authored by E. G. Nawy, focuses on the flexural cracking behavior of partially prestressed pretensioned and post-tensioned beams. The second paper, by M. N. Harajli and A. E. Naaman, deals with cracking in partially prestressed beams under static and fatigue loading. M. N. Hassoun and K. Sahebjam discuss the cracking of partially prestressed concrete beams in the third paper.
The fourth paper, written by J. A. Burgess, J. E. Breen, and R. W. Poston, explores anchorage zone cracking in post-tensioned bridge decks with closely spaced anchors. The fifth paper, by E. G. Nawy, investigates stresses, strains, and bursting cracks in the anchorage zones of post-tensioned beams.
The sixth paper, conducted by P. R. Chakrabarti, presents a model study of cracking in prestressed concrete flat plates. The last paper, by B. O. Aalami and F. G. Barth, focuses on restraint cracks and their mitigation in unbonded post-tensioned building structures.
