Where:
The average unit stress on concrete area Ac due to these forces can be expressed as
If the average fiber stress in Ac is assumed to be 0.5fc, i.e., half the maximum allowable
compressive stress fc then it can be expressed as
flexural cracks - which are almost perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the beam,
develop in the regions of large moments
web - shear cracking - the magnitude of principle tension is relatively high compared to
flexural stresses
the net shear in a pre-stressed concrete beam is
the net shearing force to be carried by concrete is reduced by Vp:
The shear strength of a prestressed concrete member is taken as the sum of the shear
strength provided by the concrete and by the web reinforcement. For design purposes
this relationship is written as
The shear Vci is computed from AAHSTO Eq. 9.28:
Composite Construction
involves construction in which precast member acts in combination with
cast-in-place concrete, that is poured at a later time and bonded to the
member.
Advantages and disadvantages of composite construction:
A major advantage of a composite construction is the economy achieved through
combining precast and cast-in-place concrete while retaining the continuity and
efficiency of the monolithic construction.
Another, is that product of superior quality are obtained through precasting;
plant fabrication is under good condition, forms are reused, strands are tensioned long-
line.
A disadvantage of the composite construction is that the restraint provided by the cast-
in-place slab causes an increase in the prestress losses of the precast element and thus
influences the time-dependent deflection.
As shown in Fig. 7.96, in multiple-span structures, the cast-in-place slab can be poured
continuously over the supports of precast beams placed in series to develop continuity.
The cast-in-place slab also offers an effective means of distributing loads laterally.
