    Equivalent Loads and Tendon Profile

    Uploaded by

    Edson Milano
    The document discusses equivalent loads and tendon profiles in prestressed concrete design. It explains that the vertical alignment of a prestressing tendon produces a transverse force on the concrete member. This force and the prestressing forces at the member ends can be viewed as an external force system. It also states that for determinate beams, the equivalent loads from a selected tendon profile can balance and oppose any applied loads, resulting in a state of pure compression in the beam. A sample problem is presented to determine the best tendon profile to balance the loads on a given beam, neglecting self-weight and prestress losses.

    PRESTRESSED CONCRETE DESIGN


    EQUIVALENT LOADS AND TENDON PROFILE
     EQUIVALENT LOADS

     The effect of a change in the vertical alignment of a prestressing


    tendon is to produce a transverse vertical force on the concrete
    member.

     That force, together with the prestressing forces acting at the


    ends of the member through the tendon anchorage, may be
    looked upon as a system of external forces in studying the
    effect of prestressing.

    EQUIVALENT LOADS AND TENDON PROFILE
     EQUIVALENT LOADS

     For any arrangement of applied loads, a tendon profile can be


    selected such that the equivalent loads acting on the beam
    from the tendon are just equal and opposite to the applied
    loads.

     The result would be a state of pure compression in the beam.


    This is always true for statically determinate beams, but not for
    indeterminate spans.

     SAMPLE PROBLEM

     Determine the best tendon profile for balancing the indicated


    load of the beam shown neglecting the self-weight of the
    member and the effect of prestress losses.
