In this paper, Part 1, five full-scale prestressed concrete I-beams were tested to study the
effect of three variables: the shear spandepth ratio (a/d), the transverse steel ratio (ρ< sub> …

In the previous Part 1 paper, an accurate, yet simple, equation for the shear strengths of
prestressed concrete beams was developed. This new equation is a function of the shear …

This article presents a refinement of the rotating-angle softened truss model (RA-STM) for
prestressed concrete (PC) membrane elements. To refine the RA-STM, an efficient solution …

This article presents a refined version of the rotating‐angle softened truss model (RA‐STM)
with efficient solution procedure to predict the full behavior of prestressed concrete (PC) …

This report synthesizes the current state of practice in the shear load rating of concrete
bridges. A brief overview of the historical approaches, encompassing the methods from the …

In recent years, several research projects have been conducted to study the feasibility of
increasing the allowable compressive stress in concrete at prestress transfer, currently …

In traditional prestressed concrete beams, longitudinal prestressed tendons serve to resist
bending moment and transverse mild steel bars (or stirrups) are used to carry shear forces …

Normal strength prestressed concrete I-girders are commonly used as the primary
superstructure components in highway bridges. However, shear design guidelines for high …

Six full-scale prestressed concrete box-beams are tested to study the effects of steel fibres
on the increase in shear strength of beams. Beams are cast with no traditional transverse …

In recent years, the need to rehabilitate or replace many short-span old bridges in the most
economical way has given rise to the idea of designing a wide-and-shallow beam, so called …
