Characteristic Analysis of Prestressed Concrete Frame Joints with Spread-Ended Beams

Article Preview

Abstract:

Three joints of prestressed concrete frame are studied under low frequency reversed loading. The failure and cracks feature, damage characteristics and mechanical properties under seismic loads are comparatively analysed between joints with spread-ended beams and conventional joints. Studies show that the layout of prestressing tendons and joints with spread-ended beams have little influence on the bearing capacity and ductility. Prestressing tendons through the joint core region can improve the shear strength of joints, but tendons through the joint outer region can not. We need to only consider the influence on the area of prestressing tendons through joint core region when calculating the shear strength of joints.
