Practical Method of Flexural Strength Calculation of Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Members

“…As the prestressing steel does not exhibit a welldefined yield plateau than in Eurocode 2 [7], the design is allowed to base on the actual curve, if this is known or in some other codes the analytical expressions for the shape of actual curve are accepted. In these cases, the corresponding flexural strength analysis leads to an iterative procedure [8], which for practical calculations can be tedious. Several other approximate procedures for the prestressing steel in the flexural strength analysis have been presented [9,10].…”
