Abstract
An experimental investigation on the dynamic characteristics of unbounded prestressed concrete simply support beams is presented in this study. A total of 3 unbounded prestressed concrete simply support beams were constructed and tested. The main variables considered in the test study were the prestress level, the position of prestressed steel and concrete damage. The test results shows that the natural frequencies and model shape of prestressed concrete beams change with the prestress level and the position of prestressed steel, and that the existence or not of concrete crack have certain effects on the dynamic characteristics of prestressed concrete beams.
