    Shapes of Pre Stressed Structures

    Uploaded by

    Dennis Dale
    The common shapes of prestressed structural members are the double tee, single tee, I-section, channel slab, and inverted tee section. The double tee is the most widely used section, with a flat surface from 120 to 240 cm wide and a thickness and span depending on requirements. Single tees are normally used for longer spans up to 36 meters with heavier loads. I-sections are widely used for bridges, roofs, and girders up to 36 meter spans. Channel slabs are used for bridges of intermediate and major spans. Inverted tee sections provide a bearing ledge to carry precast deck members with a perpendicular direction of span.

    The common shapes of prestressed

    structural members are;


    1. DOUBLE TEE – is
    considered the most
    widely used section for
    prestressed
    construction with a flat
    surface having a width
    that ranges from 120
    to 240 centimeters
    wide. The thickness
    depends upon the
    requirements while
    the span can extend
    up to 18 meters.
    APPLICATION

    Flat, solid decks in a variety of


    applications and finishes.
    Double tee decks for most applications.
    Up to 130' clear spans are available.
    Flat Walls in both solid and integral insulated
    configurations. These walls can be produced with
    either standard structural finishes or
    architectural finishes.
    Double tee walls in both solid and integral
    insulated configurations.
    Custom wall shapes or cross sections.
    2. SINGLE TEE – is normally used for
    longer span up to 36 meters with
    heavier loads.
     
     
    APPLICATION
    3. I-SECTION –
    is widely used
    for bridges,
    roof, girders up
    to 36 meters
    span.
    To minimize fill requirements and to maintain the
    necessary under clearance, four 54-inch U-beams
    were selected in lieu of five 63-inch I-beams for the
    typical span of 105 feet 8 inches. Judicious use of
    high strength, high performance concrete,
    prestressing strands in the top flanges of the beams,
    spread footings, and semi-integral abutments resulted
    in economical, durable, and pleasing structures
    4. CHANNEL SLAB – is used on
    bridges of intermediate and
    major span.
    APPLICATION

     
    The bridge is 1224 feet long and crosses approximately 85
    feet above the Ashtabula River in Ohio and its floodplain.
    Originally designed as an eight-span, steel plate girder
    bridge the bridge was re-designed as a nine-span,
    prestressed concrete girder bridge through a Value
    Engineering Change Proposals (VECP) without sacrificing
    functionality, durability, or aesthetics. The VECP resulted
    in savings of approximately $900,000 on the project.
     
    Prestressed solid
    floor and roof
    slabs can be
    produced to any
    workable size or
    shape which best
    suits the job
    5. INVERTED TEE
    SECTION –
    provides a bearing
    ledge to carry the
    precast deck
    members having a
    perpendicular
    direction of span.
     
    APPLICATION :
    INVERTED TEE BEAMS

    Prestressed Concrete has the capability to produce


    Multiple sizes of Inverted Tee Beams for any application
     
    Our modern
    adjustable
    Inverted Tee Beam
    forms allow more
    flexibility than a
    fixed type of form
    Prestressed
    Concrete Beam
    Advantages:
    •Speed - Minimal formwork
    requirements
    •Safety - Immediately after placement
    provides a secure work platform
    •Quality - Prestressed concrete is
    designed to prevent cracking
    •Design - Shallow structural depth
