Lesson 5: Analysis of Prestressed Concrete Beam Flashcards
1
Q
pre-stressing for combination of high-strength steel with concrete
A
analysis of strength concepts or c-line method
2
Q
this concept is to consider prestressed concrete as a combination of steel and concrete, similar to reinforced concrete with steel taking tension and concrete taking compression so that the two materials form a resisting couple against the external moment
A
analysis of strength concepts or c-line method
3
Q
pre-stressing to achieve load balancing
A
analysis of load balancing concepts
4
Q
a concept to visualize prestressing primarily as an attempt to balance the loads on a member
A
analysis of load balancing concepts
5
Q
this concept was essentially developed to use the unbalanced condition of loads
A
analysis of load balancing concepts
