The loss of stress due to elastic shortening of concrete is maximum in pre-tensioned members. This paper presents a synergic identification method to determine PF and moving load applied on a simply supported prestressed concrete beam via the dynamic responses caused by this, The proposed methodology aims to determine the following items: the suitable sleeper spacing for a given rail type, the wheel load distribution along successive sleepers, the, For these longer spans, continuity between the girder segments has the advantage of eliminating bridge deck joints, which leads to reduced maintenance costs and improved, The test model was left in the condition that the load cell was subjected to prestressing force (6.5 MN) during the test period. the section, then the above approximation is no longer valid.

This does not mean that there is no elastic shortening; it simply means that the elastic shortening is included as part of the stress equations and is not calculated separately. This relatively high time-dependent shortening of the concrete causes a significant reduction in the tensile strain in the bonded, pre-stressing steel and a relatively high loss of pre-stress. 0000002449 00000 n The template calculates losses due to elastic shortening in post-tensioned members as stated in article 5.9.5.2.3b of the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications 2012. 3 as follows, Once the loss in prestress is calculated, the next step is to determine Tf by virtue of Eq. against deflectors, caused by friction between. the tendon and the deflector. increases), and the loss for the last tendon is zero, so that the average loss is mcg/2.
