State-Of-The-Art Report on Partially Prestressed Concrete
Also Known As:
ACI 423.5R-99 is a state-of-the-art report that provides an overview of partially prestressed concrete construction. It explains that partially prestressed concrete falls between conventionally reinforced concrete and fully prestressed concrete. In partially prestressed concrete, flexural tensile stresses are allowed under service loads, unlike fully prestressed concrete which has no flexural tension under service loads.
The report covers a wide range of topics related to partially prestressed concrete construction. It provides information on the use of prestressed reinforcement or a combination of prestressed and nonprestressed reinforcement. It also discusses the historical background and terminology associated with partially prestressed concrete.
