Abstract: | The finite element method is applied to evaluate the effective width of a concrete slab in composite beams prestressed with external tendons. The beams studied are simply supported, with external prestressed strands straightly and draped arranged. The effective width for the prestressed composite beams evaluated based on the finite element parametric study is compared with that of plain composite beams without prestressing, and code provisions. The influence of the shear connections on the effective width and the shear slips along the beam span, as well as the incremental stresses developed in the prestressed strands, are analyzed. The behaviors of the external prestressed composite beams subject to the shrinkage and creep in the concrete slab are also discussed. |
