Abstract:As a common method, external prestressing widely informs rehabilitation in existing structures. This paper presents the total prebending moment calculation of external prestressing with different tendon profiles. Meanwhile, the external prestressing loss and original internal prestressing loss are considered in the calculation in both the theoretical method and the finite element method. Then, we discuss the reinforcement efficiency of different tendons profiles and provide the reinforcement distribution ratio… Show more
