Study on crack width and crack resistance of eccentrically tensioned steel-reinforced concrete members prestressed by CFRP tendons

Performances and properties of steel and composite prestressed tendons – A review

“…The resistance of PRC structures to cracking under eccentric tension has emerged as a crucial design consideration. In addressing this concern, Deng et al [ 153 ] conducted research on the anti-cracking behavior of PRC members prestressed with external CFRP tendons under eccentric tension loading. The CFRP tendons employed in the study possessed a modulus of elasticity and ultimate tensile strength of 154 GPa and 1910 MPa, respectively.…”

A new concept of bio-based prestress technology with experimental Proof-of-Concept on Bamboo-Timber composite beams

“…Prestress technology has been widely used in reinforced concrete structures [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] to reduce deflection, increase structural stiffness, exploit the materials' mechanical strength, and ultimately, to create a lighter structural system to span longer distance. It is always the timber engineers' dream to develop an effective, practical, pure bio-based prestressed technology with in-situ flexibility that allows members to be cut and adjusted in-situ.…”
