Stress Non-Uniformity Simulation Analysis of Prestressed Steel Strands in Curved Duct

Article Preview

Abstract:

In view of the phenomenon that the curved duct in anchorage zone of cable-stayed bridges result in non-uniformity of each of steel strand, we analyzed the position change law of the prestressed steel strand in curved duct. Simulating real bridge design, a simple method was proposed to compute non-uniformity level of prestressed steel strand in the process of tensioning. Results showed that the rearrangement caused the additional length difference result in stress non-uniformity of each steel strand. Because each of steel strand cannot participate in force at the same time, the actual elongation value of the tendon is greater than theoretical value.
