Research and Application of External Prestressing Curved Beam’s Tendons

Abstract:

With continuous development of the structural engineering, a perfect theoretical foundation and construction means is the key to its development. Combined with characteristics of the curved beam, it will be closely integrated together with external prestressing technology. The associated design and construction research can be carried out, in order to fully meet the need of the prestressing development. In this paper, the advantages of external prestressing curved beam was studied, and relevant contents are as follows: reasonable adjustment of external prestressing tendon’s diameter makes the structural force to become more uniform and prevents inappropriate use to tendon; reasonable external prestressing tendon and anchorage is the premise of good structure connection. The crucial problems should to be solved are the lower anchor position and stress concentration treatment. Considering the security need of prestressing curved beam’s tendon connection, attention should be paid not only to its materials and mechanical properties, but also to the convenience of construction. The external reinforcement work of prestressing curved beam is to ensure reasonable control parameters, as well as to ensure the optimal design of reinforced construction. As for the technical grasp on the theory and construction of external prestressing curved beam structure, it will make them have broader development space.
